I loved his studio space and he really makes the shoot fun.

We consider ourselves so fortunate to have found Shane to be our wedding photographer for our…read morerecent wedding in Chicago. After looking at a number of different photographers' portfolios online, I fell in love with Shane's approach to capturing his subjects looking so relaxed, natural, and effortlessly beautiful in a range of natural and urban settings. After meeting him, it was easy to see why everyone looks so comfortable in his photos -- he's got an incredible easy going manner that makes even the most photo-shy (me and my then-fiance) eager to get in front of the camera. Bonus points for sharing a lot of our interests (dogs, traveling, nature, internet memes) and being an interesting person to talk to. Shane was super flexible when it came to scheduling our engagement photos and wedding photos. He had a ton of ideas for different locations and shots and made us look incredible. The two other people he brought to shoot our wedding, his second shooter Sam and his intern Ana, were great and our whole wedding party just adored all of them. We had asked to take some gritty photos in an abandoned area, which attracted some unwanted attention and Shane and his crew went above and beyond. They stayed late and arranged a fantastic "last shot" late in the night that was a lot of fun to do. Shane posted some teaser photos immediately after our wedding on Facebook (he asked us whether that would be something we would want, and it was) which is a lot of fun when you're basking in that just-married excitement. Can't recommend Shane and his team enough!

Shane was professional when we met. He emphasized how much he valued customer service and seemed…read morevery flexible. We notified him via email 'within' the 7 day grace period he gives to customers that we want him as our photographer. He responded that he would love to be our photographer and we started the process to have the contract written up. Due to our schedules, it took 2 to 3 days for us to get back to him at times, but was able to get the contract written up in 1.5 weeks. My fiance and I were not able to both review the contract till a week later. I can understand that the delay in our response could have been frustrating. After a week I called him with final questions and requested to have the contract modified to ask for our approval before images are posted. He did not indicate issues with this and he said he would gladly modify the contract and send to us the next day. I thought we were all set to go and was very excited. Two days later didn't receive an updated contract. Instead, received an email stating that he accepted another customer who signed and paid him right away. I'm not sure how he expected us to pay him a deposit when he had not yet sent the updated contract he promised to us. We would have appreciated being consulted before he had accepted the new customer since we were in the middle of signing the contract. It is very unfortunate as we did not expect this and we are now back at square one. In the end, it is probably for the best. After this review had been posted, Shane indicated he thought we were on the fence the whole time. I can not speak to his photography as I've only seen his portfolio which is what appealed to us. This experience may have been a fluke. We didn't have the ideal experience, but Shane has 8 positive reviews (see filtered reviews) and a friend of mine who used him for their wedding enjoyed working with him.

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!!

Her photography business has blown up at this point. I will say our second experience with her throughout the entire process has yet again exceeded my expectations. She is kind and patient and so easy to work with. I HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage you to book with her, you will NOT be disappointed. Mahalo nui again Briana, you are nothing short of AMAZING!

She didn't just show up with a camera -- she showed up with intention, care, and creativity. She generously offered her own outfits to elevate the look, never once made me feel rushed or pressured about timing, and poured so much thought into every detail.

What amazed me most is her ability to make the smallest details look stunning. She has an incredible eye for composition and storytelling. Every image feels intentional, polished, and meaningful.
