Not exactly sure why it’s taken me almost two years to blog this wedding. I feel a lot when I think about this wedding and look back at the pictures. It was unlike any other wedding I had ever been a part of.
Sheri and Russ married on the trail between Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor State Parks, just beyond Deep Creek Lake. They had visited the trail months before to pick out the ceremony spot. It was a 15-minute walk into the forest to get to the spot and the “forest walk” to and from was one of the best parts.
Two more best parts – Sheri and Russ and their wedding ceremony.
Sheri and Russ were absolutely wonderful. So friendly and so welcoming, definitely some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They really made me feel like a part of their day. Eight of them and one of me. The nine of us together in the forest.
Their wedding ceremony was bursting at the seams with meaning and emotion. A heartfelt, genuine, incredibly personal ceremony. I checked the capture times on my photos – the ceremony was over 30 minutes long. It was just the nine of us together in the forest and yet, the ceremony felt so grand, so inspiring.
When I go through these photos, I stop, feel and remember. Some of my best work with some of the best people in what I think is one of the best ways to marry…
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!
