Jess and Matt are a great urban couple, and the perfect spot for their Jewish wedding was found in Pravda Studios on Capitol Hill. It's wide open space and modern feel gave them free reign to be super creative, which wasn't hard with her impeccable taste and his amazing skills as an architect. To aid them in this quest, they got involved with The adventure school. To say this group are party planners would be an understatement, and you should really check out their website as it is full of surprises.
A traditional bridal party just wasn't them, but Jess did have her girls with her the whole day. We had fun all walking to Pravda and taking some photos of them with Jess and Matt individually. These ladies have been in her life forever, and you can tell how much they love Matt too, it was all one big happy family.
To make is personal, The Huppa was built out of recycled materials from their new house. This wood was used everywhere, painted in bright weathered hues to make the isle, as a perfect staging for the homemade lollipops that served as favor and table locators, and even as table runners. Another really interesting ideas was an 50's era typewriter that served as the guest book armed with a large ream of paper. The programs had a cartoon illustration layed out like a technical drawing of all the major players, and they had hand painted cubes with meaningful words and iconic drawings hanging from the ceiling. Later in the night, as the party really got going, the adventure school ladies brought out a bicycle powered blender for making magarita's. We ended the night with a fun kiss shot that I love, street light lit and soooooooooooooooooo capitol hill. Matt and Jess, you guys are the Best!
