Nicole and Erik got a full Garrett County experience for their engagement session last fall. I met them at Deep Creek Lake State Park on an early Saturday morning and then we visited the nearby Swallow Falls State Park. Two beautiful locations in one session, and both very fitting for pictures in this beautiful corner of Maryland.
Nicole and Erik are from the far eastern side of Maryland, but chose the most western side for their wedding. They enjoy visiting the lake and Garrett County, and I’m excited to see what they put together for their out-of-town guests this weekend. They seemed immediately at ease in front of the camera and had no problem snuggling. We’re sure to get some more wonderful pictures on their wedding day! I’ll see you guys SOON…and thank you for visiting me in Garrett County for your engagement session. 🙂
I’m pretty sure this was taken within the first 10 shots! Immediately at ease, these two, and immediately making me a happy photog. 🙂
One of my favorites from their session…
When my couples ask if it’s okay to include their dogs in their sessions, the answer is always YES! If they’re a part of your family, they should be in the pictures. 🙂
Everyone smiling and looking at the camera! SCORE!
Fur friends also make good sign holders. 🙂
Another favorite! This was even a favorite from the whole year for me!
Byt this time, it was past prime time for morning light. But thankfully, Swallow Falls has PLENTY of trees to help with diffusion and softening of that light…
They’re really good at the “pull each other close and do forehead to forehead” pose. 🙂
One more with the sign, just to make sure. 🙂

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!
