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!
UPDATED November 27th!
Over the past month, I’ve seen so many different holiday events pop up in my Facebook news feed. There’s open houses, special pottery classes, tree lightings, shopping opportunities, and more! While getting them all lined up on my calendar, I was getting overwhelmed when trying to remember what was happening where and when. I knew I needed one big comprehensive list of all the local holiday happenings, and with a little help from Hannah, I’ve got one!
And now I’m sharing that list with you. 🙂
All of these events are happening in Garrett County between November 23rd and December 15th. THERE’S SO MUCH TO DO! I highly recommend Festival of Trees and Christmas in the Village. Our family has been to both and we make a point to go back every year that we can! We’re also looking forward to checking out the tree lighting at Honi-Honi and hopefully one or two of the other events. If you’re interested, just click on the link for each and you’ll be directed to the event’s official webpage. It’s going to be a great time to be in Garrett County, friends!

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!
