WARNING !!!!
Before you purchase your wedding rings do not, I repeat, DO NOT go to KAY JEWELERS in Maple Grove. I purchased three wedding rings from them and paid far more than their advertized sale price. When I went to pick them up I was informed that I still owed approximately $100 more for sizing and sales tax. Now sales tax should have been charged at the time of purchase but I was told that their computer would not allow them to charge the sales tax until pick up time. Now I have run my own business, CHAMPAGNE PHOTOGRAPHY, for 35 years and always charged any sales tax at the time of booking and payment. So beware of extra charges and misleading statements from KAY JEWELERS in Maple Grove.
Now, back to information.
If you ask around you will find that John Anthony Riddell is very well known as a portrait and wedding photographer and also as a competition judge and speaker to professional photographers all across America and Europe, he holds the two highest accolades from the Professional Photographers Of America.
Master Of Photography and Photographic Craftsman.
Among the hundreds of awards he has gathered over the years are the two most coveted awards in the country, each being Professional Photography's equivalent of filmdom's " Oscar."
"THE KODAK GALLERY AWARD For Photographic Excellence" (Three times)
"THE FUJI MASTERPIECE AWARD For Photographic Excellence"
There is a great deal more to creating a photograph that just pointing a camera at someone and saying "Smile."
John has spent over thirty five years perfecting his craft. He has studied under the great photographic masters and, in fact, has become a Master himself.
Such a degree is not easily earned, John has studied, over many years, how to use natural light to its best advantage, how to use flash in the most flattering way when sunlight is not available and, above all, has studied how to pose people naturally so that they always look their most flattering best.
His promise to you is to use every single bit of his artistic talent that he has in order to make sure that your own images are the very best and most creative that he can possibly create for you.
