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!

Adam and Tarina's rocking wedding at the Mississippi Ballroom was filled with love, laughs, and live music! Adam actually sang this amazing Elton John song to Tarina during their first dance, so make sure the volume is up! To see full screen please click here.

On July 18th Jillian and Nick were married at the beautiful Timberline Lodge. The day was perfect and so are J&N for each other! We were able to get
some fun wedding party and romantic couple photos at the base of Mt. Hood. I really enjoyed photographing among the wildflowers and crisp air of the mountains, and thought it was especially cool that Jillian's gorgeous bouquet was designed to match the wildflowers among us! The ceremony was extremely touching and a bit funny when Jillian accidentally put Nick's ring on the right hand, and exclaimed "Do Over" and the wedding went on with big smiles! Thanks for the help, Leah, my awesome assistant and the newest addition the the Jessica Hill Photography team!

Libby and Kenneth are a super cool couple who are getting married August 29th at the beautiful View Point Inn. We recenlty met up for a very urban and hip engagement shoot. I love photographing on the streets of Portland, because there is always something weird and different. We found this super funky car in the Pearl district, and I love the solar flair, which adds to the colors! We also ran into a tall cowboy on the waterfront, which adds an element of mystery to the pics! Thanks so much for choosing me to document your first steps together as husband and wife and enjoy the sneak peek!

wow, those are excellent Jessica!
