Carrie and Josh’s fall engagement session in Bruceton Mills, WV was such a FAVE! Every time I think of them, I say, “Man, they’re awesome!” Not only does Carrie remind me of one of my best high school friends (Hi Ashley 🙂 ), but she is also FULL OF SMILES! And she’s a photographer, too! So a girl that genuinely beams all the time because of her smiles and perky persona, that also happens to understand light and posing and details?? Holler!!!Â
I met Carrie and Josh at their home near Morgantown for their engagement session, which also happens to be on Josh’s family’s farm. We took a risk doing the session at 10am because if it would be a sunny day, the light could be HARSH. The sun did come out, but the clouds timed things almost perfectly for us, and we never struggled with harsh light. The leaves were also absolutely gorgeous that day and I love some of the rich colors we captured!Â
This session may have happened over seven months ago, but this blog post is coming at an appropriate time because these two are getting married THIS WEEKEND! I cannot wait to hang with these guys again! I know they are going to ROCK their pictures! 🙂
P.S. The above picture is the third of the collection, and Carrie is already smiling and laughing! YESSS!!!
Carrie’s got a little sass, and I think that comes out a bit in this picture… 😉
These two were also quite stellar at snuggling for the camera!
A favorite for me. 🙂Â
Oh Carrie, we must recreate this beaming smile many times on your wedding day!
BIG TIME engagement session favorite for me right here! I love their smiles, their snuggles and that reflective light on their faces!
Outfit change and location change…another side of the family farm. At this point, the light was HARSH…can you see it in the background?? But thankfully, it wasn’t harsh for long, and we were able to find some big tree cover to help.
The colors in this last series are just so dreamy! The red dress was a perfect choice!
Ah! The colors!
One final snuggle and another amazing smile to end the session. 🙂
Thanks for an awesome time, you two lovebirds! I’m so pumped for Saturday!!!
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!
