It seems appropriate to share Jessica and Ken’s wedding at Wisp Resort now because I had a secret project mission at Wisp Resort yesterday! 🙂 And let’s be honest, I’m unfortunately way behind on blogging and need to get this wedding blogged before too much time continues to pass…
Jessica and Ken were married in November of 2015. (I know, shame on me. Time to insert the overly-used yet very-appropriate “Better late than never!” 🙂 ) They are one of the loveliest couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my time as a wedding photographer. In a recent surprise encounter with them at a coffee shop at Deep Creek Lake, we talked and smiled like it hadn’t been over a year since our last meeting. I became instant friends with Jessica when she came to my house for a prospective client meeting and our relationship grew as we continued to work together. She’s incredibly easy to talk to and so very friendly and welcoming. And Ken is a lovely compliment to her with his more quiet, yet friendly personality. Really, they were just so great…and I look forward to running into them again at the lake!
Being from Baltimore, they find themselves visiting Wisp in the winter and the lake in the summer as a way to “get away”, relax and enjoy some outdoor fun. So for them, Wisp was a perfect setting for their wedding day…
Fun fact: Jessica’s mom made her dress and the flower girls’ dresses!
Guys playing in the game room at the resort before pictures? Appropriate…and Ken’s request. 🙂
Jessica and Ken were one of my few couples to do a first look that year…
Jessica was beaming with that big, bright smile all day long!
Because they shared a first look, we took care of the fun and formals before the ceremony…
And of course we had to include some pictures on a chairlift!
Probably my favorite from the day. It was cold and windy, and we weren’t outside for long, but we were still able to capture just a little bit of sunset glow…
The lodge at Wisp has wonderful natural light pouring in through the windows so when Jessica requested we only go outside for the minimum, I knew we’d be able to capture plenty inside!
Some LOVELY bridal portraits of Jessica…
The figurines in the middle? A little bit of an inside joke between Jessica and her family. 🙂
Jessica and Ken, when will you be at Deep Creek next? I’ll meet you at Traders for coffee! 😉
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!
