Liz and Richard’s wedding was a poetic and philosophical day filled with music, poetry and a deep love at a gorgeous vintage old school house in Oregon’s wine country. As soon as I met Richard and Liz, we became fast friends and it felt like we had known each other for years. They have that way about them- that easy going kindness. They now live in Japan as Richard is an internationally known beer brewer and Liz has her own therapy practice. (Yes- they are that cool – Just check out their Japanese Garden Engagements!) Considering Richard’s philosophy professor ordained the wedding, the depth and meaning of their 10+ year love was characterized beautifully in their ceremony and with their vows. The bride wore her grandmothers 1940’s Juliet cap veil and she had a sweet moment with her grandpa remembering her grandma’s life and I was honored to capture it. The team at CK Events were the great team behind the magic of the day. The gorgeous heirloom florals were created by Foraged Blooms, with timeless hair and makeup by Kirstie Wight Makeup team. Honoring Richard’s French heritage, the couple opted for the Croquembouche wedding cake from St. Honore. The entire day was a relaxed and surreal. Happiest one year anniversary to this sacred couple!

Lan Su Chinese Garden Wedding
Amy and Lulzim’s wedding at the stunning Lan Su Chinese Garden was elegant, garden-inspired and dreamy. Liam Gillies photographed this lovely day, with help from Erica Davis. Thanks so much L and E… Awesome job! The couple had their first glance at the lovely Nines hotel and traveled to the gardens for the magical day. Kirstie Wight did the fresh and beautiful makeup and the romantic flowers were from Jordan at Blum, Amy’s mom lent her Chinese vases to the decor, which made for a lovely look. Adrianne with Paradox Productions kept the dance floor going all night and laughter, dancing and love filled the cosmos. Thank you Amy and Lulzim for choosing the Jessica Hill Photography team!

Kate and Brandon are a super fun and stylish couple who recently met up with a talented recent member of the Jessica Hill Photography team! Elijah Hoffman is a photographer from Rochester NY and attended the RIT school of photography. He likes good music, vanilla coke and being tall.
