Well, y’all, here we go again. Another month has come and gone! And this time, one of my most favorite months of the year has arrived…OCTOBER! Don’t you just love October!?! The pumpkins, the colorful leaves, the cool, crisp air? It just makes me feel good and happy. 🙂
While this month in particular means a change of seasons, it also means one year of marriage complete for three JFP couples! All three weddings were beautifully done and filled with lots of things fall, so of course I was in October heaven while shooting them! But as I look back through these October 2012 weddings, I can’t help but notice how differently I edited just one year ago. My images were more heavily contrasted and the colors were enhanced. Nowadays, I leave those sliders pretty still while editing in Lightroom to give my images a softer, more natural look. My editing style one year ago wasn’t bad, it was just a lot different, and it’s interesting to see how much has changed in just a year. I wonder how much has changed for these three couples in just a year??
Anyways, enough about my editing style, on to the anniversaries! Happy First Anniversary to Janelle and Andrew, Lauren and John, and Shannon and Tim!
Janelle and Andrew got married on a super cold, foggy day at The Summit Inn near Uniontown, PA. They filled their wedding day with owls and I loved it! Janelle also wore a vintage dress, unlike anything I had ever photographed before…
Then came Lauren and John’s beautiful VA winery wedding. The ceremony took place outside just before sunset and everything was decorated with shades of purple and green, perfect compliments to the fall colors surrounding them…
And lastly, Shannon and Tim’s wedding. They were married at the Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit near Waynesboro, PA and it was an absolutely lovely fall day! The sun was shining brightly, it wasn’t super cold and there was a “sea” of yellow, GORGEOUS leaves that we were lucky enough to find and use as a photo backdrop…
OK October, I’m ready for another gorgeous fall season this year! Don’t disappoint! 😉
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!
