I think it's easy to get caught up in the misconception of the perfect wedding and be overwhelmed by the plethora of styled shoots and destination weddings we see out there that just aren't attainable, or desired by every couple. For some, the landscape that is most romantic, the backdrop that means the most, is one that might be found commonplace to others. The point is to make it your own and embrace what is beautiful in your own eyes....

Read MoreI am so attracted to this simple, yet strong, type of imagery. Authentic emotion captured in a flattering, natural way; details found in nature that allow the eye to rest and the mind to wander; compositions that set the scene and tell a story. Here, in Amy + Gordon's engagement session, Jenna Hill captures the fleeting wisps of hair, the barren hillsides waiting for a new season to bring forth change, the intimate exchanges between a couple in love, the almost-kiss....
Read MoreWhen Jenna Hill sent me the images from this Summerhill Winery wedding in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, I knew I wanted to hone in on this bride's style and how well it works with the setting. I love how the bride (also named Jenna) chose a gown that suits strolling through the vineyard--it's rich in detail, but not excessive in fabric. Jenna's loose, but prettily styled auburn curls are picked up by the breeze and allowed to shimmer in the sunlight. The floral arrangements are also more loosely gathered as opposed to tightly bound, and feature a range of hues that compliment their surroundings. This is also true of the colours selected for Jenna's bridesmaids and her groom's attire. Wade's wedding wardrobe is uncomplicated, (but not casual) and compliments the vineyard's earth tones. Jenna's bridesmaids' dresses contribute some extra colour to the whole affair, in a hue that pairs well with the landscape. And of course, I'll state the obvious and say that Jenna's stunning red locks set against a rich palette of verdant greens pack quite a punch. All nuances captured by a photographer who noticed each of the aspects described above and knew just how to photograph them in a most flattering way. Jenna Hill worked with the landscape, the breeze, the shifting light, and all of the elements Wade + Jenna so specifically chose, to create stunning fine art images for this couple and their families to cherish.
