Evan and Suzy... Wow! I'm lucky enough to know this incredible and talented couple and Travis and I had the absolute pleasure of documenting their wedding day in San Fran and Pacifica California. The getting ready pics took place at the Hotel Rex in downtown and the ceremony and reception were at the awe-inspiring Shell Dance Orchid Garden in Pacifica. Suzy looked stunning in her dress by Elizabeth Dye from Portland's own English Department. The flowers and gifted succulents were created by the talented team at Shell Dance. The day ran smoothly with the expert help from Cierra from Dreams on a Dime Coordination. The dinner was an incredible variety of paella and the dancing lasted all night long. The energy, the ocean, the orchids and the life that surrounded this day was a small testament to how inspiring and pure this couple is. I love you guys. Xo Thank you.
day one.
day two.
Ann and Alex's wedding weekend was breathtaking, with the Atlantic at their backs and the sun beaming their light within, I was continually honored and amazed with every second. Ann and I met in printmaking class at University of Michigan in 2002 and I have had the pleasure of knowing her and her lovely family through the years. She's a talented artist and designer, and is actually the mastermind behind my jh logo. I was beyond happy for her to marry her wonderful soul mate, Alex, in magical wedding ceremony and toast at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Barnstable and to the reception for a clam bake dinner, dancing and lantern release in East Sandwich, Massachusetts. thank you, thank you, thank you. words can't describe how happy i am for you both! big love xoxo

Alix and Ben are a magical and artistic couple who traveled here from Louisiana to have a destination wedding on the coast! 
Ben=Lover 
Cannon Beach Florist created the ahhh-mazing bouquets with stunning succulents! 
Both Alix and Ben have daughters. Ella, Rowan and Zoe are new sisters! 
Love this image of Alix walking towards her beach ceremony. 
The breathtaking vows on the Oregon coast. Manzanita, Oregon is one of my favorite places with Neahkahnie Mountain in the backdrop. 
All the guests placed sand in a ceramic vase during the sand ceremony. 
Alix and Ben are inspiring and beautiful. Both working artists and parents, their love and energy are poetic. 
Alix looked stunning! Loved her dress from JCrew and her awesome necklace from Anthropologie. 
Sand painting each other and their new family. One of my new favorite images of 2010. 
Alix=Angel 
Delicious and organic food, created with love from the amazing folks at Bread and Ocean. 
Ella was loving the camera and her false mustache! 
A beautiful father-daughter dance in the living room of the gorgeous private home of Ben's aunt Nancy, where the reception took place.

(11.09.10)Jessica, words fail me. We will always cherish these photos.
(11.09.10)Jessica,
I thank you so much for the care and insight you put into these pics. I am Ben's mom. My husband and I were unable to attend the wedding as my own mom is gravely ill and was not expected to make it through that weekend. Seeing the beauty of this day and of these two precious people makes me doubly happy, as I did not get to see them married in person.
These are such wonderful pictures. You really captured the moments with them all. I am Ben's aunt. I couldn't be there, but these pictures let me know how special the day was for them all. So precious!
(11.09.10)Great pics for a great day!

Jessica and Travis, these photos are beautiful! They bring back all the memories and emotions of the day. It was such a treat to have you document our wedding with your artistry and spirit. THANK YOU so much!
(12.05.11)I'm at the Shelldance Gardens everyday- these photos give me a fresh perspective on how romance can be the key element in bringing magic to light- great eye by the photographer ! From the city shots to the wilds of Pacifica- an event enhanced by the capture of nuance .
(12.05.11)Jessica, you are such a talented photographer and a lot of fun to work with. Thanks for helping to make the day so special for such a great (and stunning) couple.
(12.06.11)These photos are amazing. We're getting married at Shelldance next September, and these photos have captured what we're hoping for in our event.
Just curious if you happen to know who did the catering for Evan & Suzy?
