Aubri & Byron
Queen Anne Victorian Mansion Wedding

Erica and I were honored to document Aubri and Byron’s wedding on August 21st at the amazing Queen Anne Victorian Mansion.
This remarkable Victorian home in North Portland is perfect for eclectic and elegant weddings! The home is filled with 17th and 18th century antiques. Aubri and Byron’s wedding was incredible and matched the vintage-inspired feel of
the location. The details were immaculate and ranging from Aubri’s vintage pill box hat and veil to bouquets of feathers in the deep purples and greens of the day. The stunning bouquets were created by the talented Quinn of Quinn in the City. It was very vintage and so unique! Watch for the fun details and a story of the day on Wedding’s Portland Style in the near future! The ceremony was poetic and
intimate and the reception was lovely and filled with great toasts,
laughs and a lot of fun dancing. Thank you SO MUCH Aubri and Byron for
inviting me and Erica to celebrate your unique wedding with you and your wonderful family
and friends! Hope you enjoy the preview… Your comments and thoughts are appreciated:)

Ali & Jared
Garden Vineyards Wedding

Ali and Jared’s wedding was incredibly beautiful and inspiring! From the vineyard vistas to the garden elegance, Garden Vineyards is a stunning venue located in Hillsboro, Oregon. Jared and Ali looked amazing and exchanged vows with family and friends and their awesome dog, who also joined them on the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife! The flowers (insanely awesome!) were done by one of Ali’s close friends:) The exquisite food was both vegan friendly and delicious by the talented team at Art of Catering. The seriously good music was spun by Mr Mumu – who I can’t wait to dance to again soon at Saucebox. Thanks So very much for choosing me to document your gorgeous wedding and enjoy the sneak peek! Please leave a comment if you can find the only autumn leaf on the dress tree… or just because!

Amber & Kody
Portland Rose Garden Wedding

I was honored to document Amber and Kody’s wedding on August 3rd at the Portland Rose Garden and The Portland City Grill. Amber and
Kody both wore TOMS Shoes and I think this really speaks volumes about
their compassion and love, not only towards each other, but for the
world. See TOMS mission here. Their lovely sermon focused on Amber & Kody’s love of nature and animals. (I’m totally in love with their awesome dogs Wheezy and Marley:) They were also attendants at the wedding! Amber wore Lena Medoyeff and looked gorgeous with her hand crafted bouquet made from fresh flowers from the local farmers market! 🙂 Yeah! (Didn’t she do a GREAT job!?) Their wedding was incredibly fun, hip and relaxed, with Grandma and Dad doing the Wave and napkin hats with the family! I had so much fun & I’m super honored to have been a part of the adventure! Hope you enjoy every instant of the preview. 🙂 Your thoughts are welcome!

Wedding

Barbados Trash the Dress!

The day-after shoot for Crystal and Patrick was nothing short of
astonishing. The weather was perfect and Crystal and Patrick were up
for adventure! We first traveled to an abandoned church with incredible
arch windows and cool graffiti, then we climbed onto the cliffs at
Crane Beach for some spectacular Caribbean waves. Although we all got a
little wet, it was worth it for these pics! I’m experimenting here with
some new post-processing and I think it really adds to this style and
the tropical colors in this set. Enjoy and please let me know your thoughts!

Crystal & Patrick
Destination Wedding

Crystal and Patrick’s awe-inspiring wedding took place on the stunning
and world renowned beaches of Barbados! Travis and I were blessed to be
flown to Barbados, which is located in the West Indies,
to document their incredible day. The ceremony took place on Bottoms
Bay Beach which is a small, quiet area of Barbados. The local family
pictured was hanging out near the party, and I love how happy they are
as they watched the couple say their I Do’s! The amazing dinner
reception took place at The Crane Resort,
located on the Crane Beach, which was named one of the top ten beaches
in the world by Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous. Yes- the Caribbean Sea is really that color! A destination
wedding was the perfect way for Crystal and Patrick to have an
intimate, adventurous wedding with their closest family and friends.
They traveled to Rome for their honeymoon, as the bride and groom love
to travel. Hope you had a fabulous time on your honeymoon and you both
love the sneak peek. Thanks so much Crystal and Patrick for the
unforgettable experience! Your comments are always welcome!

My Portland Photographer!

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!

Allie & Josh
Zenith Vineyards Wedding

Allie and Josh’s wedding was a beautiful and forever memorable celebration of love. There wedding took place at the beautiful Zenith Vineyards on Saturday April 18th. Allie looked stunning in her Melissa Sweet gown and Twigs and Honey hair piece and Josh was looking sharp in his classic tux. The amazingly talented and fun Jennifer Rand with Face Body Beauty did Allie’s romantic makeup and I highly recommend her for brides! Sue Hamilton with She Designs
coordinated the event and went above and beyond, even picking white
branches from the field to add to the alter to make Allie’s dream
wedding come true! The colors were blue with hints of silver and light
pink, very romantic and vintage! The flowers were created by the
talented folks at Geranium Lake.
The unique and touching ceremony took place on the veranda and their
family and friends were both laughing and crying! The beautiful scene
made for a ceremony to remember! My talented assistant Erica was with
me and we had a blast with creative candids and portraits of the couple
and the wedding party. The reception was super fun with the dance floor
filled, a cool photo booth and great food from Vibrant Table! The yummy and pretty cupcakes were made by the talented Cupcake Mama!
Thank you so very much Allie and Josh for choosing me to photograph
your gorgeous wedding! Enjoy and congrats to you both! Check out
