Kristin and Zach’s ceremony was my second visit to Sand Hill Berries for a wedding. The first time I visited was for a fall wedding that unfortunately got rained out. But not this time! Kristin and Zach’s June wedding day was filled with plenty of lush greens and sunshine, and finally, I was able to experience an outdoor ceremony in the venue’s most beautiful wedding setting!
Kristin and Zach first came to visit me during one of their vacations to Deep Creek Lake. Finding out that the lake was one of their favorite places to visit and seeing how easy it was for us to talk made me feel confident in our ability to work together on their wedding day. We also had a pretty great time during their fall engagement session, so there was that, too. 🙂
Their wedding day was a joyful one. Plenty of smiles from Kristin and her parents, plenty of friendliness from the wedding party, and plenty of time for pictures! I especially loved seeing Kristin and Zach’s genuine stares of love during the ceremony. These two adore each other and it was a pleasure to capture…
Such delicate, beautiful, feminine details…
One of my favorite shots of Kristin…
Seeing her dad for the first time. 🙂
This was the walkway to the ceremony space. So pretty, right??Â
And the “grand staircase” into the ceremony…
Wow! Quite a ceremony!
There they go with the stares. 🙂
A favorite for me. 🙂
A big, happy wedding party!
The baby’s breath and small pink rose bouquets were perfect for spring!
I just loved this bridal portrait time with Kristin…
Another favorite from the day. Zach had the model look down pat!
Fun socks! Oh how I love thee. 🙂
Their reception was held at the nearby Bell’s Banquets’ rustic barn facility…
Kristin studied literature and included favorite quotes on all the tables…
I’m a fan of big tables of sweets at weddings! 🙂
Kristin and her dad tossed a softball during their dance together as a nod to their days playing softball when Kristin was younger. How special, and unique! 🙂
My first experience with Funomenon Entertainment in Morgantown was a good one!Â
I think this is the only picture I took with my couples during last year’s wedding season. I really should make a regular thing of it…and if I do, I should do it earlier in the day when I don’t look so drab from a day of hard work!
THANKS A MILLION for having me, Kristin and Zach! Let’s do it again sometime! Maybe during a future visit to the lake?? 🙂Â
Day 5 of Starting Something New.
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!
