get to know ME more!
Hi Thank you so much for visiting the blog! Whether you're looking for more pretty pictures, inspiration for your wedding day, or some useful Deep Creek info, I hope you'll find a comfy seat, maybe a cup of coffee, and read on!
As I was looking back through Kelly and John’s pictures from their fall wedding at the beautiful North Glade Inn near Deep Creek Lake, MD, I could almost feel the crispness of the day. The weather was chilly, the last of the colorful leaves were present, the black tuxes were sleek, and the creamy compliments of ivory and peach colors were just lovely. For some reason, the combination of all those elements were just cool and crisp! It was an all-around beautiful day to photograph, and I love what we captured!
Kelly and John were wonderful to work with. They were detail-oriented, super friendly and pictures were important to them. I was so excited to be a part of their day and I’m excited to finally bring my favorites to the blog!
The orange silk flowers were made from one of Kelly’s grandfather’s shirts…
John gifted Kelly with a new address stamp that included her new name as a married woman. 🙂Â
One of my favorite pictures from the day. Kelly made such a beautiful bride!
Great captures by my second shooter, my mom!
One of my most favorite things about North Glade Inn is this front porch! No matter the weather, it always makes for a great photo spot! The light is seriously a photographer’s dream!
 This picture has become an all-time favorite for me. It’s printed on a canvas in my office. 🙂Â
 The ivory and peach details were so creamy and crisp, don’t you think? Such lovely compliments to the fall season!
I love a groom with fun details!Â
 The classic, sleek black tux has become a favorite for me!
John requested these pictures of he and his groomsmen. So thankful he has such a good eye! 🙂

Aviators for the wedding party!
I’m pretty sure one of the reasons Kelly and John did so well in front of the camera was because of the practice they had during their engagement session. 🙂Â
Now for the beautiful barn details! The North Glade Inn barn NEVER disappoints!
I just LOVE this reception detail shot! It’ll go down in JFP history, that’s for sure. 🙂 And it was featured in this summer’s Deep Creek Lake Activities Guide! Fun!
See! I told you the barn never disappoints!!!
Thanks a million for having me, Kelly and John! I loved working with you guys and I hope we can do it again someday! And I hope you visit Deep Creek often. 🙂
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!
