The last time I saw Jana and Randy was in late October when the leaves were colorful and the air was cool. Now we’re meeting again for their July wedding and while the outdoor conditions will be quite different, there is one thing that will remain the same: Pittsburgh. We did their engagement session at Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh and we’ll be meeting again in the same area for their wedding at the Grand Hall at The Priory. I’ve actually been to the Priory one other time for my friend Samantha’s wedding and I’m excited to return! It’s beautiful…and it’s grand (just check out the website I linked!). It will likely be a day filled with plenty of photo opportunities!
I’ve also actually known Jana since high school. She and I both attended Geibel Catholic High School in southwest PA and I was excited to find out that my photography business would reunite us after so many years. (I think it’s probably been 13 or so years!?!) They brought their dogs along for the session and we strolled through the park easily with no crowd disturbance (it’s a popular place!) and no rain. Jana and Randy, I look forward to capturing you again VERY SOON!
You can’t take pictures in downtown Pittsburgh without some yellow bridges in the background!
Parts of the park reminded me of New York City! I’ve never been to Central Park in New York City, but I imagine it might look something like this…
We found these bright yellow leaves alongside an exit ramp near the park. Couldn’t pass up the color!
I love how Jana’s profile pops in this one…
And a few with more of a “downtown” look in the background… 🙂
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!
