Hannah and Chris were married at St. Hugh’s church in Carmichaels, PA on a beautiful spring day in April. The sun was shining, there was warmth in the air and they were surrounded by so many friends and family that were just so happy for them…and excited that it finally happened! These two met in high school ten years ago and after moving and working in Ohio, they returned to their home areas to make things official.
Their reception celebration took place at Lakeview Resort at Cheat Lake in Morgantown, WV. It was an all-around elegant affair with a super sweet couple, and I really enjoyed my time with everyone…including all the friends and parents I was able to reunite with and reminisce about my own days at Geibel Catholic High School (that’s where Hannah and Chris went, too!).Â
CONGRATS, Hannah and Chris! And thanks a million for having me…and Christine! What an awesome day for an awesome couple!
Such a beautiful set of rings! I love the new rose gold trend. 🙂
Meet Lara! She’s the gal on the left. She and I played high school basketball together and I hadn’t seen her since high school! I love when my job reunites me with old friends!
Hannah made such a stunning bride! I love these next few of her getting dressed…
My mom captured this one from the loft!
The lashes and (red) lips!
Oh the light and this portrait! 🙂
I’m so glad we had time to head outside for the soft morning glow…
Now for Chris and groom-ness…
Chris and his mama. 🙂
Another good capture by my mom!

Chris seeing his bride for the first time…oh man. 🙂
Stolen moments during the ceremony…yay!
We had such perfect afternoon light for their portraits on the golf course…
Had to capture the back of her dress!
The guy second from the right? He’s wearing my sunglasses. 🙂
I love when groomsmen can get comfy in front of the camera!
Brothers. 🙂
These two are so good at bride-groom portraits. I taught them well at their engagement session!
Gotta twirl. 🙂
This is a pose I accidentally discovered a couple of years ago…and when it works, it works!
I’ve never seen the Reflections Ballroom look so beautiful!Â
You know you’re at a wedding in southwest PA wedding when there’s a cookie table! 🙂
A favorite. 🙂
There was a polka band! Another sign you’re at a southwest PA wedding. 🙂
You can also see Hannah and Chris’s wedding video on my YouTube channel! This was the first “big” wedding Christine and I worked on for the new JFP photo + video team! I’m so excited about how well Christine’s video complements the pictures!Â
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!
