When putting together these anniversary posts, I try to think of a handful of images from each wedding that best help me to remember what that wedding and couple was all about. The images that really speak to the day itself and stick out in my mind as some of the best from the collection.
Sometimes this is a challenge for me, but today, I found myself knowing exactly which images I wanted to use for each of the May anniversaries…
May 2013 included three weddings for JFP…three very unique weddings. One didn’t include a ceremony and was held in a backyard, another took place at the historically beautiful Bedford Springs Resort in Pennsylvania and the third was all dressed in pink and black on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Not only were the weddings unique, but they were very different from one another, making things interesting and fun for me as a photographer. Shooting three different kinds of weddings all in one month keeps me on my toes and allows me to really stir up the creativity. 🙂
Happy Anniversary to Ally and Chris, Kaitlyn and Brad, and Jessica and Chris! Thank you all so much for inviting me to photograph your wedding days last year. I hope your first year has been lots of fun and I hope you’re still enjoying your wedding pictures…just like I am here, today!
Ally and Chris were actually officially married last March and decided to celebrate with a large backyard reception later in May. Everything except the ceremony took place in Ali’s mom’s backyard in Alexandria, VA. Definitely a neat and unique way to wed!
This image will go down in JFP history. Whenever I think of Ally and Chris’s wedding, I immediately think of this picture, and the moments between Ally and her mom as she got ready for her big day. Precious, emotional moments that I’m glad I was able to capture. 🙂
We went “back to where it all started” for Ally and Chris by taking pictures at their high school!
I was so fortunate to have worked at Bedford Springs Resort for Kaitlyn and Brad’s wedding day. I would definitely love to work there again in the future (hint, hint!). 🙂
Katilyn and Brad were so sweet together…
 And lastly, Jessica and Chris! I went to Bridgewater College with both and was so glad to reunite with BC friends…
Yes, the guys were completely decked out in pink!
One of my favorite wedding party shots of 2013!
I have four weddings in May this year, so it’s another busy month for me! The next wedding on the blog will be Lorena and Tim’s circus-themed wedding from last month…stay tuned!!
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!
