Meet Brad and Courtney, an incredibly kind-hearted, fun and exuberant couple. 
The rehearsal dinner was held at the beautiful Sky Beach Club. The night was filled with hip-shaking island music, a fish fry and good laughs and a hilarious toast given by Brad's Dad. 
This welcome bag was given to all the guests which had lots of thoughtful treats, a bottle of wine, a map of Eleuthera Island and the keepsake canvas beach bag, which replicated the artistic invite. This is just one example of how friendly and sweet B&C are. 
Fun shots of the guys. Brad's coat created by Portland's own Este's Men's Store. 
Courtney was a breathtaking bride, wearing a custom dress by Phillips Bridal, located in Portland. 
The exquisite sunset ceremony was held on the Caribbean Sea. All the guests and couple were barefoot with their feet in the soft sand. 
The centerpieces were created using vintage tea canisters, which Courtney had been collecting for the occasion. The flowers included a colorful array of roses, zinnias, mums and tropical greens. 
The wedding took place Cocodimama, an elegant and charming beach resort with an Italian rustic menu. The rooms, service, food and atmosphere were beyond amazing. 
The dancing, laughs and fun went on throughout the night. 
Judith Arnell created the sophisticated custom wedding bands. Danae Hernandez with I Dream of Letters was the brilliant calligrapher behind the invite design. 
A relaxing and yummy good bye brunch was held the next day at the Sky Beach Club.

Gorgeous pictures! Way to go Jessica!
(09.09.09)Hi,
Love your Composition on your pictures. But have to ask a question...Why are your pictures so white in the face? Just wondered, what camera do you have and are you using Auto?
Could you make the face's with more color in them? My bother is a photographer and said this looks like you may be using "auto mode"?
I love the way you put the people in the picture but just don't like the color.. Would love to know more about your camera, since we will be getting married out your way next Aug.. Thanks so much. Please send me your price list.. we are from Michigan and looking for a photographer like you in your area. lola
Thanks so much for the comments! Lola- Congrats on your engagement! I use a Canon 5D mark II Camera, always in Manual Mode for both shooting as well as white balance. The white color could be because your monitor isn't calibrated correctly. I can always add more color to the images if that's the look you prefer :)
(09.13.09)
Omigosh, that little brown & white puppy melts my heart... and of course, the bride & groom are lovely too! :)
(09.03.09)Lovely photos Jessica, I love the colours so much and your attention to detail is inspirational.
Jules
(09.03.09)Lovin' the detail shots and great moments. You are a true artist with a refined vision.

Megan and Ryan's spectacular wedding took place on August 2nd at Skamania Lodge.
Overlooking the George, Skamania has a poetic mountain landscape on the Columbia River. Ryan and Megan and their amazing cutie-pie daughter Reece, celebrated in style with vows said in the cool summer breeze, delicious food and gorgeous flowers by Geranium Lakes. Megan's stunning hair and makeup by the fabulous Jennifer Walker of Face Body Beauty. Erica and I had a blast capturing
all the artistic and photojournalistic moments. The wedding was beautiful, emotional, fun
and very modern with a great color palette of greens, purples and ivory! Thank you so much Megan, Ryan and Reece for choosing
Jessica Hill Photography to document your first steps together as the Kramer family!Lovely, lovely, lovey! I love it when their personalities come through in such a perfect fashion.

I LOVE the abandoned church.... such a cool element.. I must ask, does "Trash the Dress" imply that she did just that & tossed it in? That's what I was imagining.. And I love the idea! : )
(08.12.09)Oh my goodness! I would die to shoot there. Love the first one.
(08.12.09)Seriously!!! This is AWESOME!!! so lucky to be going to Barbados!!
(08.13.09)
Holy Crap Jessica! These are so beautiful! I'm here at work looking at just the few pictures you have up of our wedding & it has brought tears to my eyes...they are so stunning! Patrick & I can't wait to see the rest!
(08.11.09)I agree with Crystal, these pictures are beautiful and made all the easier by having two gorgeous people to shoot. I think Crystal & Patrick made a wonderful choice when they chose you as their photographer. We truly enjoyed your work ethic and your friendly demeanor that both you and Travis displayed the whole vacation/wedding.
(08.11.09)Hey Jessica! These turned out amazing! I especially like the three starting with Cystal leaning on my back then when we're about to kiss. You did a fantastic job, and it was an absolute pleasure working with you. Let me know fi you want me to write something for your web page, i would recommend you to anyone in an second!
(08.11.09)Looking at the wonderful pictures ,made me feel I was there. Since i was unable to make the journey,this is next best. Terrific photography. Crystal Grandmother

I'm honored to announce that I have been selected to be 1 of 20 photographers featured on the My Portland Photographer blog! The blog was started last year by a group of well-established and extremely talented Portland-area photographers. My Portland Photographer is an incredible opportunity for some of the best Portland photographers to post just one or two favorite images once a week, along with a brief story about the image or event. It's exciting to see such a great community of photographers bringing their own unique style to the same website. The blog is a true collaboration of artists! I love blogging on MPP because I can pick my absolute favorite images to feature, not just the standard cake-cutting, first dance fare that's expected. Check out my newest post here, which features Adam and Tarina's hip wedding. Look for the Jessica Hill Photography posts every Monday!
Way to go Jessica!!! You really captured the creativity & happiness of the event. I absolutely adore the photos of the newlyweds in front of the barn and the flower petals!!! These photos make my heart smile:)

Oh, Jessica! I'm SO excited to see these — and Josh is too! These just make me even more anxious to see the rest of them. The detail shots are perfection (many of them of things I didn't even get to see at my own wedding!) and you truly captured the day the way it felt and the way it lives on in my memory. Thank you for your amazing work!
(05.11.09)So beautiful, Jessica. I can see the whole wedding again in these photos, just as I remember it, plus all the things I missed because I had tears in my eyes. Really love how you captured the mood and the romance. Thank you, they're incredible.
(05.11.09)Wow! What amazing photography. It was a beautiful wedding and you captured it wonderfully!
(05.11.09)Allie looks stunning and Josh looks handsome. But what I'm also excited about are pictures of the beautiful details of this wedding I neglected to photograph. Allie put her whole artistic being into this wedding and it appears you captured each lovely detail for posterity. To me, that's the sign of someone who really knows wedding photography. Well done!

you are so talented... there are so many really brilliant shots in this batch. you just keep pulling out the stops. especially loving the full body shot with them standing in front of the blue wall with the grass beneath and grey wall on the left, and the amazing B&W shot of them cuddling on the riverbank with the trees over the bank... uh!
Pictures came out great! Definitely looking forward to you shooting our wedding.
(05.08.09)I agree! These shots are great and a lot of fun! I love all the contrasts and the blues. You captured their love and i'm lovin' it. Looking forward to June.

(04.03.09)Hi Jessica,
I'm Griffin's Grandmother and I would like to get a couple of these photos. They are great. My phone number is 503 387-3381. Thanks for your help.

Michelle and Alex have been married for over two years and inquired about an "engagement shoot for married couples" last fall. I love the idea of getting great photos taken of you and your honey long after you've said your I Do's. It's a great time to get
photos of you and your spouse for your living room, your family or even your facebook page! It was so great bonding with Alex and Michelle over our hometown of Ann Arbor Michigan! Go Blue! Alex and Michelle practice Kung Fu and ended the session with some beautiful forms. Michelle also manages Oblation, the amazing invite shop and paper boutique in the Pearl, which I highly recommend for save the dates or wedding invites! I also want to thank Chris Jernigan for assisting me! Hope you love the sneak peek Alex and Michelle!
Jessica, these are awesome! and Michelle and Alex were so great to work with! It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon shooting with them! (and you!) :)
(03.21.09)i really love this bottom photograph A LOT. really sweet....

yo'sista sitka
I love these photos Jessica! And I agree - why shouldn't we be photographed after we're married? Keep up the good work!
(03.27.09)Great shots, Jessica. We loved working with you -- you are great. And yes, I definitely recommend that married people get photos taken a few (or many) years in. Alex and I had so much fun and talked about our shoot for days afterwards. (The crazy guy, the mud, the cold, the kissing in public:) I can't wait to see all the rest!

Jessica and Travis,
Thank you guys once again for making the trip and dazzling us with your amazing talents. After seeing a few incredible photos the day after the wedding, the anticipation for more has been killing us. These are just wonderful and thank you for the kind words. I can't tell you how nice it was down there to not have to worry about whether we were going to have amazing pictures of the special day. I'm not sure how we're going decide which ones to frame! Anything I can do for you, please let me know!
(03.28.10)Ummmmmmm..... WOW.... Seeing these photos is like getting pinched... I thought it was just a really vivid dream.
Thank you for bringing your fabulous gift and tremendous spirit to our wedding in the Bahamas! I would've guessed that it would be an impossible task to capture the love that was in the room that night.. You captured what we were all feeling but never could've articulated. Thank you is an understatement. (tears)
We will always be your biggest fans...
Love,
(03.28.10)Brad and Courtney
WOW! This must have been an amazing wedding to shoot! Gorgeous images!
(03.28.10)You did it! Somehow you managed to capture the beauty, love, fun, and joy of the wedding events. Now, we will be able to relive and enjoy the moments forever.
