Johana and David are getting married TODAY! Yep, they’re getting married on a Thursday. Kinda odd, right? Actually, I’ve met a few couples recently that aren’t getting married on the typical Saturday and now near-typical Friday and Sunday. I’ve heard of Monday and Tuesday weddings! Some do it because they want a certain date or they simply just want to do something different. But Johana and David are doing it for her mom. You see, Johana is from the South American country of Colombia. She came to the US to improve her English language and she met and fell in love with David in the process. They’ve decided to have a mountainous Morgantown, WV wedding so Johana’s family has to come here for the joyous event. Johana’s mother plays an important role in the Colombian government and because her schedule is so demanding, a Thursday wedding was one of their very few options.
We met at Valley Falls Park in Fairmont, WV for their session and we were blessed with an absolutely beautiful evening! Not only did Johana and David do pretty fabulous in front of the camera, we had a pretty fabulous location. Valley Falls will definitely be a fave portrait session location as I continue to work in my new WV market. 🙂 Thanks for introducing it to me, Johana and David! And now for some favorites from their session…
When I saw these yellow forsythias, I knew we’d be using them as a backdrop for quite a few pictures! I just love the mix of color…her coral shirt, his blue shirt, and the yellow flowers!
I bet Valley Falls looks BEAUTIFUL in the fall! I can’t wait until that mountainside turns colorful!!
One of my absolute favorites from the session. 🙂
Check back tomorrow for a sneak peek from their wedding!
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!
