Kelcey and Joe’s summer wedding was my first visit to The Herrington in Oakland, MD. It’s a grand venue with a lot of unique charm and I was glad to finally get to explore! The inside and outside are both beautiful, offering various backdrops and event spaces. We were able to use all those backdrops and spaces during Kelcey and Joe’s wedding day and I’m still so thankful for their trust in me as their photographer and overall calm attitudes towards the day. We took a ton of pictures and had some beautiful weather conditions…it truly was a beautiful day with a very sweet couple! 🙂
Here are lots of my favorites from Kelcey and Joe’s big day in Garrett County…
The suite where Kelcey got ready was so grand!
One of my favorite detail shots from last year!Â
Kelcey may be the only bride I’ve ever had wear glasses on the wedding day. We included them in her bridal detail pictures and I love the touch of personality and uniqueness that they added!
So many great getting ready moments of Kelcey…mostly in black and white. 🙂
My second shooter Chelsey snapped this one!
Time for Joe’s getting ready moments…
Kelcey and Joe shared a first look and handled a lot of the formal portraits before the ceremony…
Another capture by Chelsey! So thankful for second shooters during first looks. 🙂
Chelsey’s angle…
And mine! Joe’s reaction was one of the best I’ve seen. So priceless and emotional!
He was stunned by Kelcey’s bridal look. 🙂
They decided to share one ring exchange alone together before the ceremony. 🙂
The Herrington and the backlight in this next series!?! YAY!
Some of my favorites from the day… 🙂
I told them this would be their man band picture. 🙂Â
Or maybe this one!?
Haha Kelcey throwing in some sass. 🙂
The ceremony was held at the pond area at The Herrington…
I love an aisle with flower petals!
They look ready to wed, don’t they?? 🙂
I count five cell phones. How about you? Ha! 🙂
Thanks for this capture, Chelsey! I just love it in black and white!
This room is inside The Herrington! The place is HUGE with all sorts of surprises!
Sweets by Harvest Moon Catering!
Before the evening festivities ended, I took Kelcey and Joe out to the field behind The Herrington for some sunset pictures and these were some of my favorite portraits from last year! So much goodness, folks! 🙂
They didn’t hesitate when I asked them to go beyond the fence. SCORE!Â
I just love the intimacy and glow of the next few…
Thanks so much for having me, Kelcey and Joe! And an even BIGGER thanks for being so relaxed and willing on your wedding day. You made my job SO EASY!Â
I have two more weddings at The Herrington this year and I’m anxious to return!
Day 20 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!
