This was an engagement session I’ll never forget. Beautiful lake house, glowy sunlight, and a waterskiing couple. All at 6:30 in the morning. When I emailed Lauren to ask her if she and Brad would be up for some waterskiing pictures during their session, I was nervous. I’m a lover of unique and different things, so I knew an engagement session that included some waterskiing would be awesome and exciting. But who wants to be athletic in cold water during their engagement session? I was afraid they wouldn’t be up for it. BUT THEY WERE!!! I was so excited when Lauren said YES to my waterskiing idea! She and Brad love to waterski and wakeboard together on Deep Creek Lake, so it was a very appropriate thing to include that in their engagement session. And for fear that we’d have harsh sunlight and a crowded lake, we met at 6:30am. These guys get big gold stars in my book! Who else wants to go waterskiing for their engagement pictures!?! 🙂
This is the front of Lauren’s family’s lake house at Deep Creek! The unique details were amazing!!
Even though it was a gray, overcast morning, the sun did peek through the clouds for a few minutes…and we took advantage of every minute!
Ahhh the glowy sunlight! Perfect for a summer morning at the lake. 🙂
Down to the dock…
They had only had their cat a very short while…and Lauren requested some pictures. He was camera-ready!
Let the waterskiing adventures begin! I was like a kid in a candy story on the back of this boat. 🙂
They even held hands while skiing together!!
And then a kiss!?! So cool…and so skilled. 🙂
Lastly, for their grand finale, they held a sign while waterskiing! AMAZING!!
Lauren and Brad, you made my summer with this engagement session! Thank you so much for being so willing and daring! This will definitely be an all-time favorite for JFP…and a session to never forget!
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!

I love these, Jessica! They are getting married on our two year anniversary, and they included their cat 🙂
Wonderful, amazing, and unique. Well done, Jess.
[…] lake, for throwing leaves in the air, for looking at each other and laughing for no reason, and for waterskiing during their engagement session! FUN is definitely something I use to describe my photography style and it’s something I aim […]
