Five stars just isn't enough for Angela and Evan. They deserve all of the stars…read more Photography was a huge priority for my husband and I as we planned our wedding, and we simply cannot imagine our wedding experience without Angela and Evan. They are not only artists and professionals, but the kindest, warmest people you will ever meet. From our very early correspondence, when we emailed back and forth and talked on the phone (we live on the East Coast, but got married in Seattle), Angela was thoughtful and dedicated, asking questions that showed she truly understands how wedding photography works. One of the things that makes her such an amazing photographer is the effort she puts into getting to know you before she even gets to the wedding - she walked through our venue with us, talked with me about the flow of the day, and made sure to stay in close touch with our wedding planner as well. Angela is so generous - when we decided at the last minute that we wanted to get engagement photos taken, she recommended a photographer friend on the East Coast for us. Some photographers might have been put out that we were asking for a recommendation, but not Angela. And on the wedding day itself, we were lucky beyond belief to get to work with both Angela and Evan - Angela shot me and my ladies as we got ready, and Evan was with the guys. Both of them were there for our first look, and throughout the rest of our day and night. While I never noticed them taking photos at the time, they somehow managed to capture all of the big and little moments that made our wedding so special to us - I don't know how they did it. It was so special to see them work together, too, as a married couple! My husband and I had booked a standard package, which ended an hour before the end of our reception - but Angela STAYED, out of the goodness of her heart, to capture our sparkler exit, because as she said, "I thought it would be really special for you guys to have those photos." Come on - that made me tear up, and filled my heart with such gratitude. Our wedding ended at 11pm, and we hung out with our guests at a bar until 1am. As we got in a cab to take us to our hotel, I got a text message from Angela with 20 incredible, beautiful photos from the day. Keep in mind - she had left the wedding at 11pm, too. So, after a full day of work, she went home and sent me a teaser of photos because she knew how excited I was to see them. You can't make this kind of stuff up; it's just too good to be true! And the delivery of the rest of the photos was amazing as well. Only a couple weeks later, we got a preview of about 80 more photos, and then the full album delivery about a month later. The quality of the photos is simply unmatched. And on top of all of that - which is already above and beyond what you could expect from a wedding photographer - Angela sent a beautiful goodie box last month with lovely prints and treats for us to enjoy. Again, I teared up. Working with Angela and Evan is one of the best decisions I've ever made - in life, not just in wedding planning. You will love them as much as you love your photos, which is to say: a lot!

When my husband and I began thinking about wedding planning just over a year ago, we knew the most…read moreimportant thing to us was finding a photographer that we loved. We agreed that having great photos of our big day was one of our very highest priorities, so the search was on to comb through all the options to find the photographer for us. After a referral from a family friend, we ended up meeting with Angela and booking with her right away without meeting with anyone else. This ended up being one of the best decisions we made throughout our whole wedding planning process. Angela is an absolutely incredible photographer and an even better human being. Our package included engagement photos in addition to the photos on our wedding day. My husband was pretty apprehensive about having his photo taken and was worried that he wouldn't feel comfortable in front of the camera. Angela is such a pro, she easily made him feel comfortable during the engagement shoot and brought out the best in both of us. From the beginning of working together, she felt like a friend and someone we could be ourselves around, which is so important when documenting your big day. When it came closer to the wedding, Angela went above and beyond to make sure we had the things we needed. Five days before the wedding, I realized to my horror that I hadn't ordered ANY sparklers for our sparkler exit....and it was no longer Summer so it was nearly impossible to find a vendor willing to sell me fireworks. I felt so stupid and, honestly, a little panicked that one of the elements of our day that I had spent so much time thinking about wasn't going to happen. After filling her in on our dilemma, Angela began searching for us and found a bride selling sparklers near me that I could meet and ALSO met a seller herself in Tacoma and brought those sparklers with her to the wedding. Seriously, guys, she's the real deal. When it came time for our wedding she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was a calming presence throughout the pre-ceremony period, providing gentle and much needed direction so that we stayed on schedule and had time for all the photos we were hoping to get before the ceremony. During the ceremony and reception, she blended in seamlessly, capturing every important moment. We were faced with a large amount of rain during our outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception, but Angela took it in stride and captured absolutely beautiful photos every step of the way. I imagine it isn't easy to shoot under those conditions and with that amount of rain, but she made it look easy. Although the rain was less than ideal, we all chose to embrace the elements and see it as a romantic addition to the day. Angela did the same, and captured the spirit of that perfectly in her photos. After recently reviewing all of our photos from our wedding, we truly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. As mentioned above, she captured the spirit of the day better than I ever could have imagined and, in the process, made all our friends and family look SO good. Looking through all our photos is like reliving the day, and she documented every candid moment with a level of artistry that exceeded all our expectations. We are so proud to share our photos with our loved ones and, honestly, can't wait for an excuse to work with Angela again.

I can't rave enough about Door 51. Honestly, I don't know if I can find words to do them justice,…read morebut I'll try. First off, their work is AMAZING. They capture the real, raw, true essence of the moment, of your love for one another, of your personalities, of the little details that make the day special. My husband and I were far from being comfortable in front of the camera, but Alex and Nicole have a way of not only making you feel comfortable, but gently guiding you in such a way that brings out the best version of yourself. I feel like our engagement and wedding pics showed the real "us" but in a way I never thought possible to capture on film. I fall in love with their work each time I go through my albums. On top of being talented, Alex and Nicole are awesome to work with. They make a great team. I absolutely loved working with them and I look forward to working with them to capture more special moments as my husband and I start our family. Door 51, you are brilliant, talented, and a JOY to work with. Thanks for everything!!

We had a blast doing our engagement session and know for sure that it will be the same for our wedding. Wish I could give more than 5 stars because Door 51: -provides high quality prints (not cheap glossy looking prints) -posts pictures and tags you on facebook (a huge plus so family and friends can see) -is affordable and quality is not sacrificed -friendly, professional, and answers questions, concerns, and needs fast -makes you feel comfortable and lets the real 'you' come out -takes unique pictures that everyone you show will LOVE To sum it up, if you're looking for a photographer to capture any type of special day/event, don't hesitate to choose Door 51.

I'm incredibly happy that we did as he was not only an excellent photographer, but he was prompt, helpful, and incredibly flexible. We never went more than a day between communications and he guided us through the entire process in the weeks/months leading up to the big day and our engagement shoot. The day of he showed up prompt and looking classy and then the rest of the night he seemed just one of the guests. We had preview photos the very next day and about two weeks later we received a package from him with everything and then some. We still have the mugs in our cabinet.

I was most impressed with how they juggled our crazy relatives. We had a delicate family situation with some big personalities, and Joe effortlessly walked the line between "getting what we wanted" and not ruffling feathers. He was in command without being commanding, was flexible yet faithful to our requests, and moved us through the picture process with poise and a positive disposition. If you have crazy family, you could not do better. During the ceremony he was a ghost. I can't actually remember him or Erika being present, yet the photos from that moment are equally parts intimate and sweeping. He captured it all--the guests, the wedding party, the vibe and the reception. We had a killer dance party following the festivities, and they were unafraid to get into the mix. Those are my favorite pictures from the night, and Joe and Erika were an unobtrusive team that captured it all. Can't say enough. The price was right, we found a package that fit our needs, and we will treasure the photos our entire lives.

John and Tash are just amazing. I don't have enough positive adjectives for them. They're a…read morewonderfully fun team and John is amiable and so incredible at putting people at ease. Tash is really intuitive, kind, and attentive and always quick to help. When I came across John's portfolio I was really struck not only by his photography style, attention to lighting, and interest in scouting for visually interesting areas to shoot at but also by his talent to capture such great moments, how everyone he photographed seemed so natural and comfortable. I really recommend doing an engagement session with John before your wedding. It really does help make your wedding day go all the more smoothly, since John's already had a day to gain rapport with you (we did a hike together at his suggestion and loved it). We just got our wedding pictures back (the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness of the box they prepared for us is just incredible) and I am so happy and thankful that John has been our photographer. We are so happy with our engagement and wedding pictures and I am so excited about how many beautiful moments he caught, like the look on the groom's father's face when he saw his son and silly things like how the dog and I looked at each other at first sight (with the groom). It made me so happy to see so many pictures of our guests really truly, laughing and enjoying themselves and so many of the pictures are just so stunning. John and Tash are fantastic at capturing special moments and details and are so enjoyable to be around. I am so grateful that we had photographers that felt like fast friends.

My photography session with Dan was incredible - both the experience, and the product. First, during our session he helped me with my anxiety - it can be really nerve-wracking to actually pose in front of a camera if you've never done it before! But he helped me feel comfortable and by the end I felt like we were just hanging out and I was being myself. He had some great ideas for locations and it was a really fun time together. Then, shortly after, I received a batch of photos he'd selected, and was allowed to choose several of those to have edited. When I got those back I felt like I had pictures that really captured who I am, and the message I want to give to my clients. Ever since posting the pictures to my website and facebook page I've noticed a steady increase in clients, and most mention that my website made them feel really comfortable and like they could trust me. I am sure that this is largely in part to Dan's photos. Very grateful here...in a few years (or maybe more than a few, if I keep looking this young!) I'll be sure to take new photos with him and none other.
