Art Canvas Magic

Written by Door51 Photography on May 30 2009 | Creative Portrait

A decade ago, before photography took a strong hold of my life, I had another passion – Digital Art. Hours of experimentation in Photoshop left me with countless winged beings, textured faces, surreal sceneries, and many other collaged images. From time to time I return to my roots and let imagination flow. Last night I created what will become a three art canvas set, all available for sale. I’d like to share them with you and would love to hear your opinion.

Bethany & Joel’s Engagement

Written by Door51 Photography on May 11 2009 | Engagement Session

Bethany and Joel drove all the way from Cloverdale, CA to meet us and to shoot their engagement photos. That’s 130 miles one way! We are flattered! So flattered, in fact, that in about a month time we’ll be driving up there to photograph their wedding!

Bethany and Joel were nothing short of rock stars in front of the lens! They are beautiful, and their genuine and generous love for each other was obvious in every kiss and in every smile. Just look at the photos and you’ll see what I mean!

Tomomi & John’s San Jose Wedding

Written by Door51 Photography on May 11 2009 | Wedding

Exactly a week since their San Francisco Japanese wedding ceremony, Tomomi and John had their official “white dress” wedding. The preparations, the ceremony, and the reception all took place at The Sainte Claire hotel in downtown San Jose.

The preparations took place at the luxurious Palm suite. Nicole did an awesome job with Tomomi’s makeup, and Krissy Lawson worked her hair magic. A beautiful choice of a dress, jewelry, and just about everything else by Tomomi herself!

Groomsmen. A really great bunch of guys. And then again, I would expect nothing less from John.
