Katie and Mike got married in some of the most western parts of Maryland. Their ceremony was held in Westernport, MD and then their reception was held in Oakland, MD. Both are within 45 minutes of where we’ll be living in western Maryland in LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! (It’s getting SO CLOSE!) Shooting Katie and Mike’s wedding and driving around what will soon be our new stompin’ grounds made me very happy. 🙂
It may have been the second part of August, but the heat and humidity were far from this wedding (not uncommon for Westernport and Oakland). But hey, we didn’t mind! We were able to enjoy sunshine and pleasant temps for their big day instead! Enjoy the soft colors and soft smiles of these two love birds and their wedding…
The ring bearer was ready for pictures as soon as I started snapping!
Katie and Mike decorated the church pews with various pictures of themselves…Katie on one side and Mike on the other. They started with baby pictures and ended with more present-day images. It definitely helped symbolize two lives coming together as one.
My second shooter Jacqie captured this one!
And another one captured by Jacqie! I’m really starting to enjoy having my second shooters around. 🙂
Such a dramatic, yet candid moment captured by Jacqie. Pretty sure I was instructing and directing during their bride-groom portraits at this moment…and they sure were focusing on what I had to say. 🙂
LOVE this next one!!!
Katie’s mom handmade all the favor bags! Very impressive!
I spotted a pretty little area outside the reception venue and couldn’t resist taking a few more bride-groom portraits during the “golden hour”…
You know it’s a good party when the night ends with “Country Roads” and a big group circle!
Katie and Mike, thanks a million for inviting me to be a part of your special day! Enjoy your time as husband and wife in the mountains of West Virginia!
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!
