Downtown Portland Engagement | Jessica Hill Photography

Jackie and Jordan
A Portland Rooftop Engagement

I had the best time photographing gorgeous couple Jackie and Jordan alongside their cute pup, Buddy! We captured stunning photos amidst the classic Portland sign and downtown along the Park Blocks. I love when the Portland Art Museum has epic displays that make for interesting and artistic backdrops. We then enjoyed some VIP access to gorgeous sun kissed rooms and an incredible rooftops inside a Portland high-rise. This was quite epic as I totally love photographing on rooftops and this rooftop was non-accessible to the public, so it made the experience quite incredible. Enjoying each other’s company high above the city as the sun set below Portland, Jackie and Jordan danced and laughed together as they toasted to a bright future. Wishing these two all the love and happiness and I’m so excited to be documenting their destination wedding in Napa coming this May. Jackie and Jordan- Thank you for choosing me to capture the undeniable love you two share!

Engagement

Nicole and Matt
A Keep Portland Weird Engagement

Nicole and Matt are a fun and exhuberant couple who live in NYC but decided that Portland was the perfect destination for their 2015 wedding. We had a lot of fun during our Portland themed engagement shoot. The bridges, the buildings and the vibe. We shared a lot of laughs and I’m really looking forward to their September wedding!

Engagement

Gina and Jesse
A Portland State University Engagement

Gina and Jesse are sweet as can be, and will be getting married this August! Since they met on the PSU campus about 5 years ago, we decided to include a little of their love story in their photos. So, we photographed at the Portland State University campus, around and in a few of the cool buildings there. This ended up being awesome, because we dodged an insane rainstorm! Phew! I fell in love with their pup, Wally, who is a natural in front of the camera. We ended the shoot in Forest Park and love the juxtaposition between the urban vibe and the natural look. I’m SO excited for their wedding this August and can’t wait to share those pics too! Gina’s stunning hair and makeup by the talented Jein King.

Engagement

Josie & Christophe
Rose Garden and Downtown Portland Engagements

Josie and Christophe are a worldly couple with a lot of love and laughter! We had a lot of fun meeting at the couple’s favorite Starbucks and then went to the Rose Garden, which is where Christophe proposed. Originally from France, Christophe met Josie working for an airline and now reside in Atlanta. Their wedding will be taking place at the rad Left Bank Project and I’m more than excited to be documenting their big day in September!

Events

Rhoni & Mike
Downtown Portland Wedding

Rhoni and Mike are an incredibly intelligent, beautiful and kind couple and I couldn’t be more happy for them both!

The rehearsal dinner at Oba! was colorful, and fun with great food and family.

The kids made a fort beneath the table to watch Sponge Bob!

The wedding day begins at The Heathman for getting ready pics of the ladies, and at the Arlington Club for the gentlemen.

Dresses and shoes and champagne- oh my! Rhoni’s shoes were hand made and stunning.

Rhoni is a beautiful bride!

On to Saint James for the emotional and joyful ceremony. Song and warm light filled the church.

Love this set of pics lit by streetlight in the park blocks.

The Arlington Club is a wonderful and historic club in downtown Portland. The luscious flowers were created by the talented Kim with Geranium Lakes.

Fun with the cake cutting!

So in love and happy!

Love this pic!

Rhoni and Mike are perfect for each other in every way and I’m so happy to have documented their wedding day. The elegant and chic wedding took place on the evening of September 25th in downtown Portland. Everything from the flowers to the wine was sophisticated, but the party was fun, fun, fun! With the guests dancing all night and R&M as the gracious hosts, it was an unforgettable event! Thank you so much R&M and hope you love the blog preview!
