Amanda & Caleb: Benton Grove Wedding, Morgantown WV Wedding Photographer

Amanda and Caleb’s wedding was definitely one of the prettiest I’ve seen. The details were impeccable, the weather was perfect, the sunset was gorgeous and Amanda was a flawless bride. I was excited to finally photograph a wedding at the beautiful Benton Grove Bed & Banquets in Morgantown, which is a wonderful venue and seemed to be the perfect setting for this gorgeous affair.

Amanda was in Jill and Charlie’s wedding last August and we had been emailing back and forth (I like a bride that’s a good emailer!) for over six months. It was fun to reunite after almost a year, and it was enjoyable to see all the planning and details that we had talked about in conversation finally come to life. One of my favorite parts of the whole day: the rented antique china used at the reception dinner tables. Amanda and Caleb drove all the way to Harrisburg, PA to rent the china and while that may seem a little extreme to some people, I think the couple (and myself) would argue that it was well worth it…definitely a show-stopper!

Enjoy MANY of my favorites. 🙂

I don’t think their first dance could have happened at a better time. There may not have been anymore natural light left, but the setting sun left a beautiful horizon in the background…and it certainly made a beautiful backdrop!Amanda&Caleb_Wedding830 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding832 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding842 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding844 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding853 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding858 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding860 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding875 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding883 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding888 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding889 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding910 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding913 Amanda&Caleb_Wedding930

Oh what a lovely wedding, don’t you agree!?! Again, Amanda and Caleb, you had one of the prettiest weddings I’ve seen. Thanks so much for having me there to capture the big day and for being so detail-oriented! I hope you’ll cherish these pictures forever. 🙂

And a little shout out to my friend Adriane! Thanks for tagging along as my assistant/second shooter! Can’t wait to have you again in the near future!

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!

"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."
