Alicia & Chad: West Overton Barn Wedding, Southwest PA Photographer

Alicia and Chad booked with me in February of 2012, which means all three of us (and plenty of others!) waited over a year and a half for their big day! I remember meeting with them and thinking the wedding was so far away and feeling like it would never come. But just as time always seems to do, this year flew by and the beauty and busy-ness of October came!

If I had to guess, I’d say Alicia and Chad were somewhat glad they had so much time to plan. For one, October 12th was a big date for the 2013 season, so they were probably able to lock in all their desired vendors with very little trouble. They also dressed this wedding up and down and around with so many wonderful fall goodies! How in the world did they come up with all of this!?! The time they had between setting a date and the actual wedding day itself was probably a lifesaver for them when putting together all these beautiful details. Alicia and Chad’s wedding day was definitely an enjoyable one and an event that I was excited to be a part of. It’s not everyday you get to work with clients who are super sweet, super in love and super detail-oriented with their event. Alicia and Chad’s wedding is definitely a JFP favorite!

I met Alicia and her girls early on the wedding day and was able to capture just about everything during their stay at the salon. The hair, the make-up, all the bridal details…and of course a little bride-bridesmaids toast!

I love when I pull up to meet the guys and they’re all ready! Well, Chad and his guys were still waiting on their boutonnieres, but other than that, they were ready to start working it for the camera. 🙂

Alicia and Chad’s wedding was held at the West Overton Museums in Scottdale, PA. The ceremony took place in the old distillery room…

Chad was pretty emotional during the ceremony. He couldn’t hold his tears back as he and Alicia made things official. It was really quite sweet to see…

Instead of rice, flower petals or balloons, guests greeted the newlyweds with real leaves! Such a neat idea!

Charles is one of Alicia’s good friends. He worked day and night the week of the wedding prepping she and Chad’s details and helping in whatever way possible…

After the toasts, I headed outside for what little light I had left to get some stellar ring shots. 😉

    Chad and Alicia’s wedding was the highlight of my life.I have waited a long time since Chad called me and told me”Grandma Marge I think I found the girl I am going to marry” As soon as I met her I agreed with him. I finally got a Granddaughter after 5 grandsons. They make a wonderful couple. I love them both so much. I was so impressed at how beautiful the barn looked for the reception.Everything looked like it was out of a bridal magazine. Everyone had a great time,they danced all night..

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…

Scroll through some favorite blog posts!

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!

"Jessica is amazing!"

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!

" the best decision."
