So much of what I remember from this proposal day involves the frosty conditions at the shoreline of Dutch’s at Silver Tree at Deep Creek Lake. The frozen lake, the frosted trees, a touch of snow on the ground, and the softest sunlight pouring across it all. The soft colors were just magnificent – golds and grays and blues and greens…
I pretended like I was a random photographer taking pictures of the lake view. Jonathan pretended like he just wanted to visit the shoreline for some quick family pictures with the lake view. I eventually stepped in and offered to take a family photo with one of their phones, again pretending like I was a random photographer, and that was Jonathan’s queue.
The whole family was in on it so they knew that after that family photo was taken they needed to step back to leave room for the moment. Jonathan proposed, Elizabeth was so darn excited and spent the rest of our time together snapping more family photos, having the two of them smile together, and navigating snow and cold + open-toed shoes and not enough layers of clothing, ha!
These are so frosty and lovely…

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!
