I met Shannon and Tim a year and a half ago in my home office in Waynesboro, PA. I was so impressed that they were planning so far in advance for their fall wedding and it felt like forever waiting for their big day (a pat on the back to couples that have long engagements!). Since they were getting married at the beautiful and quaint Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit, I watched the forecast furiously the week before their wedding. I LOVE outdoor ceremonies and I hate when rain ruins those plans! But Shannon and Tim’s day was beautiful! It was a little chilly and a little windy, but it wasn’t unbearable. The sun was shining brightly and the colorful leaves were at peak. It was a beautiful October wedding for sure!
One of my favorite things of their wedding day: Tim sharing with me at the end of the reception that he never lets anyone take his picture and that he actually didn’t mind the picture-taking process during the wedding! Definitely a compliment coming from the groom! 🙂
Shannon is so sweet! She was so happy and smiley on her wedding day. 🙂
Sharing her mother’s locket and grandparents’ pictures with Tim’s daughter…
New favorite ring shot for me!
Love the bridal eyelashes on the left!
Of course I looked for the most colorful spots at the lodge for pictures. 🙂
A bright, glowing day for a fall wedding!
Shannon and Tim got this guestbook and pen set from Etsy! So unique and personal!
We found this “sea” of glowing, beautiful yellow leaves! I was soooo excited and so thankful for God’s beauty during these pictures… 🙂
Aaahhhh yellow gloriousness!!! Thank you Shannon and Tim for sitting on the ground for these. 🙂
How’s this for a guy who doesn’t ever let people take pictures of him!?!
Teaching the Gungham Style dance!
Never hurts to have a few fun ring shots!
Shannon and Tim, your wedding day finally came and it was beautiful! You two are such a sweet couple and I thank you for having me photograph your special day. Thanks for spending all that time out in the chilly fall temps with the wind blowing and leaves falling. And a special thank you for sitting on the cold ground for the sake of some good pictures. 🙂 I hope you enjoy your pictures and I wish you many years of love and happiness!
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!
