I’ve never done a “behind the scenes” post before. Most photographers do them and they always seem to be a “huge hit” among readers (I know I enjoy looking at them!). So I’m going to give it a try this year!
All year long, we photographers share pretty pictures of pretty weddings. But what we don’t share are the not-so-pretty moments. The moments in between when we’re working hard to make pretty happen.
I was blessed with an abundance of second shooters this year! Some gals just shot with me once, while others, mostly my mom and Kristin, shot with me multiple times. Not only did they help me do the 2015 season well (THANK YOU SO MUCH, LADIES!!), they also captured plenty of behind the scenes moments of me, most of which were surprises when I was culling. πΒ
So here’s to 2015, y’all! What a wonderful year of weddings and awesome couples! Can’t wait to see what 2016 will bring!
Sometimes I help with boutonnieres…
LOVED JULIA’S DRESS! It was so fun to photograph!
Looking a little odd with my stance here…??
Group hug! π
Showing bride Jessica how to hold her hubs. And sporting a baby bump. π
Taking a break to enjoy a cupcake with my good friend, Tia! It’s always a special treat seeing people I know at weddings. π
Blast from the past! Ryan, Billy, Garry and I all went to high school together! And Billy and I were in school together from kindergarten to 12th grade! These three were quite entertaining during Billy’s sister’s wedding. π
Showing the guys how to set up the “Flying V”!
Sometimes I wear pink pants to weddings. π
Might be my favorite behind the scenes shot of the year. π
Having a laugh with Maggie and Throop. π
Test shot with Kristin…and apparently double fisting the water! π
Another test shot!
And another! This is Christine. She was quite excited for this photo op. π
And Carrie. Hopefully she doesn’t mind me sharing her spunky personality. π
And sadly, I don’t have any pictures of my mom in action. But there’s always next year! π Thanks again, ladies! You all are wonderful!
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 moreβ¦and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
Iβm not sure Iβm starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesdayβ¦

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!
