Maggie & Throop: North Glade Inn Wedding

Maggie and Throop’s wedding day was a blessing for a few reasons. First, the rain. Clearly, the rain wasn’t a blessing. But despite the mounds of rain that fell the night before and the morning before, and a not-so-great weather forecast, we surprisingly had a few hours of no rain and were able to capture plenty of outdoor portraits. The barn at North Glade, where both the ceremony and reception were held, was beautifully decorated and I don’t think it’s ever looked prettier. And lastly, Maggie and Throop. They were so laid-back, so friendly, they didn’t let the rain get them down and they decided that more portraits than they had planned for was totally okay. ๐Ÿ™‚ So all in all, it was a pretty awesome day. I am so glad I was able to be a part of Maggie and Throop’s wedding and meet all their friends and family from the eastern side of the state. It’s visitors like them that keep Deep Creek Lake hoppin!

As you can see, I had fun with my macro lens and Maggie’s jewelry. ๐Ÿ™‚

Maggie’s dress was so simple, but so beautiful. I loved the neckline, the skirt and the pockets! It really seemed to fit her so well…and she and everyone else just loved it! And thanks to my second shooter Kristin for capturing the image on the right. I love how she found a completely different perspective!

The texture in these next two images really catch my eye. Between the textures, black and white color, and Maggie’s dress, the images look like they’re from the early 20th century!maggiethroopwedding6

I love the soft colors in this image…

Maggie had a piece of her late father’s shirt sewn into her dress.

I always ask my brides to sit in a pretty chair next to some great window light when putting on their shoes. It makes for some pretty bridal portraits. ๐Ÿ™‚

The covered front porch at North Glade Inn is so photogenic…mostly for the awesome light that pours in from the outside! And Maggie didn’t have a bunch of bridesmaids, just a maid of honor. Her girlfriends still joined her for the getting ready process, and we included them in some portraits outside, too.

The rain did damper the outdoor ceremony space pretty good, so everything was moved inside the barn…

Such a beautiful space, right? The hanging lights and draperies really make you go “Wow!”

I think this was when they realized that more fun and formal portraits than they had planned on taking was more than okay. Maggie said now that she was in the moment and all dressed up, she didn’t mind. ๐Ÿ™‚

And Maggie and Throop’s team did an awesome job decorating the tables! I love the varying vases, pots and flowers for centerpieces…

The head table area also looked very pretty! And it was done in a way I’ve not seen before. The white draperies and the glowing paper lanterns made a great backdrop…

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 moreโ€ฆand plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.

Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesdayโ€ฆ

Scroll through some favorite blog posts!

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!

"Jessica is amazing!"

- Jessica and brandon

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!

" the best decision."
