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!!

I was assigned David through weddingbug.com, I specifically asked the website for someone with good…read morelistening skills, that would provide candid/photo journalisn style pictures. I was very clear I dont like group photos that have a "set-up" cheesy type quality. I spoke with David over the phone 5 days before my wedding and confirmed the time, location, etc of my event. I made a point of telling him that at my wedding location there were gorgeous backdrops for pictures including the glass museum bridge, union station, the downtown waterfront in Tacoma, and many more. On the day of my wedding David showed up over an hour late to my hotel room to take photos (he text me when he was ten minutes late to say he was 15 minutes away then I guess he was looking for parking for the rest of the time). By that time I was busy and unable to get the candids I had wanted of me getting ready. I told him again how much I dont like the cheesy set up type pictures and to please avoid photographing the wedding party that way. Let me state that David is very personable and a very pleasent person to have a conversation with. He took pictures of my husband and groomsmen on the stairs inside the Museum (not outside infront of any of the lovely old building that were literally outside the front door). He kept telling them to do "something crazy". The photos all look very cheesy, set up, and forced. He did not take one single photo of anyone infront of any of the beautiful architecure that was available. He took pictures of the reception area, pictures of me infront of a concrete wall with blinds (which washed me out horribly), and for some reason back to the same nondescript staircase again for family photos). When I recieved the photos from weddingbug I was sick. There are maybe 3 usuable shots of my husband and I together. There were 300 photos total he took (and I mean total, not after he threw out unusable shots). There are maybe 25 shots total that can be edited to look average at best. He managed to catch every bad angle and unattractive facial expressions on both of us. He repeatedly took phots of us in a pose that made me look like a hunchback. He took 10 shots of a photo that I got my husband as a wedding gift. Thats right my friends. He took pictures of a picture that I already owned. Nothing to be done about it now, my photos are awful. Whats interesting is David showed me some photos of a friend of his wedding. He mentioned he had gone and scouted the location ahead of time. There were beautiful, dramatic photo journalism style photos I loved. For some reason, maybe because Im not his friend, or I booked him through weddingbug.com, he decided my wedding was going to look like cheesy, forced, bad prom photos. I should have said or done something at the wedding about my concerns but I was too busy trying to enjoy my event and foolishly expected I wouldnt have to tell a professional adult how to do their job. I probably wouldnt have written a review but David asked me to write a review for his profile (before I had even seen my photos).

I wanted multiple groupings during our shoot, and we had great results from each set. The idea was to achieve professional portraits in a natural home setting and we definitely were able to capture the mood and personalities of each family member. The whole experience was really fun and now I have the family photos show for it. I will certainly contact David next time I need a photographer!

I had gone through list after list of Seattle based wedding photographers, and when I was fortunate enough to stumble across Photo Elan, I immediately fell in love. It was a match made in heaven; I instinctively felt drawn to their amazing portfolio! They have the ability to see such potential through their lens, and the eye to take advantage of those perfect photo opp moments. Their own special touch is added to each and every one of their photos of which they have captured so many beautiful smiles and memories for their clients with their creative style and natural artistry. My fiancé and I recently had our engagement photo session and the experience was unforgettable (http://photoelan.com/blog/2009/07/26/bonnie-harold-e-session/). Admittedly, we were both a bit nervous in the beginning, but they took great care in making the shoot both fun and enjoyable, as well as capturing the perfect moment. As for the photos themselves, oh my... they turned out absolutely gorgeous, but most importantly, natural. I love how they were able to exploit the character of Seattle and the intensity of the evening light to romanticize our evening shoot. One word pretty much sums it up. Perfection. We have since received numerous compliments from our families and friends. I am definitely looking forward to working with them again on D-Day... er... I mean my wedding day =P
