Matt emailed me in the fall about their January wedding. They had only been engaged for a couple of months and were only going to have a five-month engagement. A short engagement isn’t the norm for most of my couples, but these two said they didn’t want to wait long. They had known each other for a while and didn’t mind making things happen quickly. I waited over a year to marry Brian and hated waiting! If you know you don’t need a long engagement and can plan quickly, high five to you! We planned Matt and Anna’s engagement in about four days. He emailed and said they definitely wanted to book with me and wanted to get engagement pictures with the fall colors. It was the last week of October so we scheduled right away hoping we’d find what was left of the season. And we did! We met at the Spruce Forest Artisan Village in Grantsville, MD and during the second part of the session, we found color! I couldn’t believe it! Garrett County, MD leaves peak before those in surrounding areas, so I was convinced the leaves would be completely gone at the very end of October. But God held on to a few leaves for us and I was so excited! Enjoy my favorites from Anna and Matt’s engagement session. 🙂
We tried the “model look” in the first 10 minutes of the session and these two rocked it!
And Anna! Bet she didn’t know she could do such an awesome “model look”!
A favorite for me!

And I love the romance and softness of the one on the right!
Look at all that yellow! Never would I have thought this was possible at the very end of October!
I’ve had lots of couples including their dogs lately! They certainly add an element of fun and cuteness to the pictures. 🙂
Â
Another favorite for me! Just a happy little family of three. 🙂
A season favorite!! I love how the colorful leaves shape the picture and provide some awesome composition!
I loved Anna’s accessories! The extra touch of color and sophisticated-ness and fun of the gloves and hat really helped create a scene…
This is a BIG favorite! Their romantic kiss, her jacket and accessories and the fall leaves…I feel like this was taken in a European countryside just minutes from a cute, quaint little town. 🙂

My plan is to blog Anna and Matt’s January wedding later today so be sure to come back for more of these two later! 🙂
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!
