I knew right from the start that Jessica and Chris’s wedding would be nothing shy of beautiful and grand. Their venue was picturesque, the details were plentiful and the guests were ready to party!ย Many people had been waiting for their wedding day for a looonnngg time. Jessica and Chris had been engaged since September of 2011 and living states away in Georgia, so that left everyone extra anxious to celebrate.
Even though I traveled 4.5 hours, across the state of Maryland (and the scary Bay Bridge) and spent a couple nights away from home, it was all worth it. Capturing the wedding day of friends from Bridgewater College is always an honor…and a good time. ๐ It allows me to reunite with people I haven’t seen in a while and it reminds me of all the young love that comes out of good ol BC (Brian and I included!). Jessica and Chris both attended BC, so it was quite the reunion of friends….and quite a hefty party!
Enjoy this beautiful, grand and super fun wedding that was Jessica and Chris’s long-awaited big day. ๐
Another blog photo bomb for yours truly. ๐
Pink vests, pink bow ties and pink socks for these guys. What a great, and willing, bunch. ๐
Jess and all her fluffiness! Perfect dress for her. ๐
Jess and Chris exchanged letters right before the ceremony. The only thing that stood between them was a door…
Oh Katie. ๐
New favorite wedding party shot!
Ok, wait, maybe THIS is the new favorite. What an incredibly fun and energetic group!
Anyone who knows Jess knows these next two pictures fit her well… ๐
And this happened by accident, I’m pretty sure…
The reception tent was filled to the brim with details!
A collection favorite for me! Love all the colors. ๐
I hopped in a few BC group pictures…
We missed a few BC alum, but at least Mallory made it this time! ๐
I LOVE the faces in this one. ๐
Instead of having guests line up with sparklers, they just brought them to do the dance floor for one last hurrah with the bride and groom…and it worked out so well!
Jess and Chris…whew, what a wedding! Thanks a million for inviting me to be a part of your big, highly anticipated day…and thanks for bringing me to the east coast. It was so great seeing you both and I wish you all the best down in Georgia!

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!
