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!

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!

As many of you may already know, I'm a HUGE Kate Davis fan! While Travis and I were celebrating my birthday at Wilf's Restaurant almost two years ago we just happen to witness her poise, stand-up bass skill and incredible voice that night! We were in love :) She was only 16 then and a Jr. in college and now she's in NYC and a freshman at the Manhatann School of Music! yeah! The afternoon of her last Wilf's performance we met up for the shoot at Union Station for that subtle vintage-y feel. We were going for a hip holiday look, with nothing too campy or Christmas-y. I love the way the pics look and Kate's cool green dress adds the perfect holiday touch. I can't wait to hear the new album due around Thanksgiving! Please check out her awesome new website and listen to her music :) Her rendition of My Funny Valentine always gives me goosebumps! She's a talent that will take over the world soon. All the best to you and your successes Kate!

Kathy and Johhny's remarkable wedding took place on July 25th all over Portland! The traditional tea ceremony was filled with great emotion and bright colors and the asking of permission to receive the bride was an amazing experience to document. Kathy had three beautiful outfits, and yes she had three fun pairs of shoes to go with them. (Yeah- I love shoes!!!) Her first dress is called Áo dài and it's worn during the tea ceremony and for part of the reception. She also wore a stunning classic gown, and a rocking Betsey Johnson cocktail dress for the dancing. The ceremony took place at the SE Asian Vicariate church, which was very cool and sweet. We all went to Laurelhurst park immedialty following for some fun wedding party and couples pics, and then onto dinner. The food at Legin was yummy and so was the decor! The colors were green and white, which they weaved throughout the room with white orchids and green linens. The music was really fun and so was the crowd! Everyone was lauging and smiling and having a great time grooving to the beat. I'm so honored that Kathy and Johnny choose me to document their first steps together as husband and wife! May you both have many lifetimes of happiness and health. Enjoy the sneak peek and please comment to let us know what you think!
