Oh man are my new-market couples blowing me away! I’ll be honest, when I first knew I was moving to the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia, I assumed I wasn’t going to find the kind of couples and weddings I wanted to photograph. I assumed the couples in my new market were going to worry less about photography and pretty details and more about getting a good deal and keeping their photos traditional. But I was wrong! I have been beyond thrilled with the couples I’ve met and worked with so far in West Virginia and my new market! I’m so thankful they’ve quickly welcomed me with open arms. 🙂
I was reassured of the new-market couples’ awesomeness last night when I shot Kristen and Andrew’s engagement session in downtown Morgantown. We met at the Hazel Ruby Memorial Park along the river and it couldn’t have been a better location. Big trees, open grass, old buildings, beautiful bridge…I will definitely be using this location A LOT! Kristen and Andrew also asked that we include their daughter Harper in some pictures so we had some extra love for this session. Enjoy my faves!!
This bridge and that sunlight…mmm mmm good!
Kristen and Andrew seemed comfortable in front of the camera as a couple right away. My job was super easy the entire session!
I wonder if Andrew knew he had a fierce model look?? He’s kinda nailin’ it on the right…
Kristen worked her soft smile all on her own. I love when a bride can give me that. 🙂
WARNING: Crazy good couple snuggling coming up! I could have photographed them like this all night long! Pure naturals.
A picturesque view of their proposal spot…
Maybe my favorite from the session…
Such a great family portrait!
And then Kristen and Andrew worked it AGAIN for the camera. They barely needed any direction!
So romantic…so sweet.
Kristen and Andrew are getting married in August and you can bet your bottom dollar that their bride-groom portraits are going to be killer because they nailed the engagement session! Thanks for being so awesome you two!!
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!
