Julie and Brandon’s fall engagement session in Garrett County reminds me of why I love fall so much. Scarves, snuggling, boots, fires, plaid, colorful leaves…I’m a BIG fan. (And I’m pretty sure I mention this every year on this blog, ha!) It’s the first full day of fall AND the day before their wedding, so it’s an incredibly appropriate time to share their engagement pictures!
They came to my house for a backyard session and were just two of the sweetest people. So easy to talk to, ready to laugh and have fun, and incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Wonderfully ideal for JFP! 🙂 But if I’m being completely honest, though, they were a little challenging to photograph. You see, Brandon is one of the tallest people I know, and Julie is a little petite…which means Brandon is like a foot taller than her! I like my couples’ faces to be close during almost all of their pictures, and when one is a foot taller than the other, extra creativity is required. Thankfully, we worked through it together and walked away with so many great pictures!
Enjoy my faves from this session and YAY for Julie and Brandon’s wedding day TOMORROW!!! 🙂
One perk of doing sessions at my house, especially in the fall, is that our neighbors have some stunningly beautiful, colorful trees! So we started across the street for Julie and Brandon’s session. How could I pass up this orange-ness!?!
I quickly realized that Julie has AMAZING eyes! Can’t wait to ask her to flash these during her bridal portraits tomorrow!
A big fave for me! Love this pose and Julie’s soft smile. 🙂
ALL THE COLORS! 🙂
Tip toes were needed during the session. 🙂
One of my favorite spots for pictures in the backyard! Looks good in just about every season! Especially when there are super cute subjects taking up space. 🙂 And do you see the difference in their height here? Oh my!
Outfit change! I love sweaters in fall. 🙂
Julie shared with me that she and Brandon love to enjoy fires together, so my hubster Brian graciously agreed to put a fire together to include in their pictures…
And one final favorite spot in the woods with my $35 super colorful quilt! Score! 🙂
Super excited to see you guys tomorrow! And super excited to bring their fall wedding pictures to the blog in the near future! Happy fall, y’all! 🙂
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!
