Kelly and Joel
Oregon Engagement Photography
Kelly and Joel and I met up in early Autumn and we started the shoot at the SW Waterfront and continued onto the beautiful Rhododendron Gardens. Kelly and Joel have been dating for a long while and have continued through college and now, onto grad school. Joel is currently studying business and Kelly just finished medical school and is applying for residency. This couple is kind, gorgeous and intelligent and I’m honored to be working with them both for their May wedding at the Governor!
Wedding
Stephanie and Nathan
Timberline Lodge Wedding Photographs
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Stephanie and Nathan’s wedding on October 1st at the historic and beautiful Timberline Lodge. Their love is so flirty-fun and poetic and I had a blast photographing this amazing couple. Stephanie looked stunning in her dress which was a beautiful Wtoo by Watters dress. Nathan and all the guys looked awesome wearing classic and timeless tuxes which I think works well for an autumn ceremony and adds a sophisticated elegance. I loved the NW flair they added with the sapling favors, the earthy colors and the super fun dancing. Michelle with Amore Fiori created all the stunning flowers. Lynn with Media Jockeys kept the flow of the party and the dancing going all night! Thanks so much Stephanie and Nathan for choosing me to photograph your stellar wedding!
Destination
Suzy and Evan
San Francisco and Pacifica Orchid Garden Wedding
Evan and Suzy… Wow! I’m lucky enough to know this incredible and talented couple and Travis and I had the absolute pleasure of documenting their wedding day in San Fran and Pacifica California. The getting ready pics took place at the Hotel Rex in downtown and the ceremony and reception were at the awe-inspiring Shell Dance Orchid Garden in Pacifica. Suzy looked stunning in her dress by Elizabeth Dye from Portland’s own English Department. The flowers and gifted succulents were created by the talented team at Shell Dance. The day ran smoothly with the expert help from Cierra from Dreams on a Dime Coordination. The dinner was an incredible variety of paella and the dancing lasted all night long. The energy, the ocean, the orchids and the life that surrounded this day was a small testament to how inspiring and pure this couple is. I love you guys. Xo Thank you.
Engagement
Callie and Andy
Mississippi Ave and St. Johns Bridge
When I first met Callie and Andy, I was immediately in love with their style and energy. We both happened to be going to the same show later that evening at the Doug Fir 🙂 (Blonde Redhead was the show, for those curious:) We all met up on Mississippi ave, where they live and where my studio is located, so it’s always fun having that connection with the place. Love Cathedral Park and can’t wait to work with this lovely, fun, hip and kind couple in 2012!
Wedding
Erica and Cort
Skamania Lodge Wedding Photographs
Erica and Cort are filled with great energy and love and laughter. Their wedding at Skamania Lodge was a lot of fun and style. Even though the day was a bit rainy, we were able to get some great shots of the views of the Columbia River Gorge. I loved the orange and grey color palette and Erica and Cort looked beautiful. The party was really fun and the couple made a DIY photo booth, which kept the laughs and snaps happening. Cupcake Jones created the yummy cupcakes. Thanks so much Erica and Cort for inviting Elijah and I to document your day.
Wedding
Tresa and Ted
Metolius River Weddings
umm… I’m speechless with this one. in LOVE! Tresa and Ted are an incredible couple and Erica and I had a blast photographing their day at the Metolius River Lodges and the House on the Metolius. The location was enchanting with views of Mt. Jefferson and the Cascades. The bride’s lovely dress was from Ania Collection, and the groom’s rad custom suit was from Duchess Clothier. Tresa and Ted used all local produce and beef and The Well Traveled Fork did a great job catering, the food was delicious! I loved the little friends the couple included in their day like their cute puppy and all the cake toppers and table place cards. Adorable! Thanks SO very much Tresa and Ted, meeting you both and photographing your wedding reminded me why I love my job so much! Thanks!
Wedding
Kristina and Aaron
Riverplace Hotel Wedding
Kristina and Aaron tied the knot at the lovely Riverplace Hotel in SW Portland. I love this spot, as it’s on the water front and the views are lovely. Kristina and Aaron are a fun-loving and creative couple and I loved their Mad-Lib style invite and their VooDoo Doughnut cake, which they requested in their color palette. Elijah and I had a blast photographing their day and thanks K&A for choosing Jessica Hill Photography to document your fun wedding!

Christine and John
Waverley Country Club Weddings
John and Christine have a wonderful love and their wedding was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Seriously awe inspiring smiles were had by all, with the perfected experience of Mike Piper with An Affair to Remember handling coordination as well as all the gorgeous and romantic blooms. The Waverley Country Club is one of my favorite Portland Venues and I am so honored to have documented J&C’s love! Christine wore a rad Melissa Sweet Gown and John looked dapper in an Indochino custom suit. Hope you love the pics and thanks so much for sharing your day with me!
