Max & Alexis in a Tilt Shift World

Written by Door51 Photography on Aug 26 2009 | Creative Portrait, Engagement Session

Our lovely friends Max & Alexis came over and brought a new lens for me to play with. The incredible TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II. Brand new, this lens is worth a small fortune, but you can rent it from BorrowLenses.com for just a fraction of the cost. In fact, if you happen to be into photography, I highly recommend you spend some time with it!

It is not an easy lens to master, so don’t judge me to harshly on the following set. It was, after all, my first attempt.

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!

Cassie and Luis’s Yellow Engagement

Written by Door51 Photography on Mar 15 2009 | Engagement Session

I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called yellow. ~ Coldplay

I’m convinced the photography gods love me. Seriously. I could not have asked for a day or people more beautiful!

Our clients tend to be absolutely wonderful people. Luis and Cassie Jean are no exception. Bright, loving, playful, and oh-so-photogenic – they made our day together wonderful.

Lena and Mike’s Engagement

Written by Door51 Photography on Jan 19 2009 | Engagement Session

The weather in San Francisco was unreal today! Lena and Mike took us to Ti Couz, where coffee and crepes rule. Afterwords we headed to Balmy street, where we spent the first half of our shoot.  Could not have asked for better scenery!

Jennifer and Joe’s Engagement

Written by Door51 Photography on Aug 13 2008 | Engagement Session

A long overdue post comes in a form of an engagement session we shot in Halfmoon Bay. Jennifer and Joe are a very sweet couple with a wonderful taste in seafood. :0) Our post session dinner at Sam’s Chowder House proved to be the best seafood experience we had in a long while. If you go, we HIGHLY recommend you try the Steamed Mediterranean Mussels – they are amazing! In fact, we recommend you don’t order anything else – you may just choose to go with another round of mussels and bread instead of a regular dinner plate.

Did I mention Joe has a sweet Harley that served as a wonderful prop and made room for some creative shots like these …
