get to know ME more!
Hi Thank you so much for visiting the blog! Whether you're looking for more pretty pictures, inspiration for your wedding day, or some useful Deep Creek info, I hope you'll find a comfy seat, maybe a cup of coffee, and read on!
Coming in for the weekend and wondering what to do at Deep Creek? You’re already here and want to be in tune with the latest and greatest? The Deep Creek Weekly Round-Up is for you…
Weather, events, things to do, insider tips and info for May 2nd-May 8th
Written on Thursday, May 2nd…
THE WEATHER
We’ve had some good warmth and sunshine again this week! It’ll be almost 80 today! Rain and chilly temps creep in on Saturday, but it looks like the 70-degree warmth will be back next week. Just look for pops of too much rain next week.
THIS JUST IN
The main road to Swallow Falls State Park is still CLOSED. They’re repairing a small bridge on Maple Glade Road (the main road through the park) and the park ranger I talked to said they’re hoping it’ll be fixed by Memorial Day. In the meantime, you can take the “back way” into the park. More info here…I also shared a reel showing the back way on the @fortheloveofdeepcreek Instagram.
Outdoor seating is ready to go at Vagabond Taproom in downtown Oakland!
Firewater is getting a new GIANT dock so we can wine and dine on the water! They’re hoping it’s in for Memorial Day Weekend. WOWZER, this is going to be cool.
Deep Creek Apparel has a new location at The Fort!
Summer cocktail menus now available at Ace’s Run and Firewater Kitchen & Bar!
THINGS TO DO
Pawn Run Bar & Kitchen is having a second anniversary weekend! Stop in for live music Friday, Saturday and Sunday and they’re going to have specials, too. No matter the weather or occasion, Pawn Run is a good spot for food and drink.

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!
