get to know ME more!
Hi Thank you so much for visiting the blog! Whether you're looking for more pretty pictures, inspiration for your wedding day, or some useful Deep Creek info, I hope you'll find a comfy seat, maybe a cup of coffee, and read on!
I met Jenna, Glenn and Jenna’s mom at Panera (that was before I had an at-home office!) last year to discuss their wedding photography. And we talked for a while…both about the wedding and life in general. Glenn even left early because we had taken care of “the business” first and ended up just casually chatting for a while after (three women and one guy, you know he didn’t want to be part of that for too long…;) ). It was nice knowing I could get that comfortable with a couple (and one of their moms!) right from the get-go!
And that made the wedding day easier. We didn’t need to “meet and greet” with each other…we could just dive in!
Jenna and Glenn were married at the beautifully grand cathedral in downtown Greensburg, PA and their wedding was held at The Historic Summit Inn in Uniontown, PA. I had been to both places before, but not since high school…over 10 years ago! The Inn was especially exciting to visit because that’s where I had my junior prom in 2003! But I was returning for a very different reason…for Jenna and Glenn, and the start of their new life together…
The flower girls were a big part of the day! Jenna just beamed about them and they couldn’t get enough of her. 🙂
Jenna’s dad seeing her for the first time…
My mom captured this one from the balcony!
Beautiful church, right!?!
More flower girl love!
Glenn was a firefighter for the Star City, WV fire department…and this engine that he helped buy made the hour and a half trip for a joy ride at the ceremony!
Fun and formals, and the reception atop the mountain at The Historic Summit Inn!
The Inn just built a treehouse that was featured on Treehouse Masters…and they were kind enough to take myself, Glenn and Jenna for some pictures…
Jenna and Glenn planned their day so they could not only have enough time or pictures, but so they could enjoy their cocktail hour, too!
The only thing better than a grandma picture at a wedding is a grandma picture with the bride and groom! I love capturing moments like this!
Jenna LOVES her dad, and he loves her, too!
A few portraits at sunset…
And some celebratory wedding party shots to end the evening!
Thanks so much for having me, Jenna and Glenn! And thanks for including so much time for pictures, and for taking the trek back to the treehouse. I hope you enjoyed your wedding day, and I hope you’re still enjoying your wedding pictures!
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!
