Couples & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY in deep creek, maryland

the

The non-traditional, #dothingsdifferently, adventurous kinds of weddings get me excited...and inspired!

JFP APPROACH

Whether it's marrying in front of a waterfall, having a "welcome hour" instead of a cocktail hour, or standing in a sea of forest ferns, I'm looking for inspiration to pair with the easy, fun and efficient wedding photography experience. We'll talk on the phone, hopefully do an engagement session, and on the wedding day, we'll be hanging out as friends. That's when the genuine smiles, natural moments in between and feeling comfortable snuggling in front of the camera comes out.

You can get married in so many unique ways here! Whether you want to marry in the forest or have a backyard party with a small group, I can put together a custom photography package for you. Or if you simply don’t know where and how you want to marry, I can share vendor recs and location ides to help you figure your Deep Creek wedding.

With over 350 weddings photographed, I’ve seen a little bit of everything and know how wedding days usually flow. It's about way more than pretty pictures. Managing people and a timeline are also part of it. Having fun and feeling comfortable in your day are important as well so I hope you're marrying the way you want to.

If your planning has led you to any of the above, the inspiration will flow for photos. Things like Light, moments in between and the beautiful, unique settings can be fully seen and are represented in the photos on my site.

The Possibilities...

Browse the blog to see!

just in case you're not engaged yet...

We can talk Deep Creek proposal possibilities too!
The proposal-on-a-boat photo takes you there!

But keep scrolling if you are engaged...

You’re wanting photos done in Deep Creek + Garrett County, MD! While I do some traveling, much of my focus is on this place..."where the mountains meet the lake and friends and family come to celebrate"

You are not afraid to splash your feet in the water! Even if you're in your wedding dress...

You can hand over the trust! Trust that I’ll capture what’s needed and will know exactly how to handle most people-y situations. Not shot lists or Pinterest boards needed.

You're okay with getting a little chatty! When we get on the phone or meet for your engagement session, I hope we can talk for a while and get to know each other.

You're having a wedding day that is unique to you, that "feels like you." Or maybe you're simply not sweating the small stuff!? Don't want to wear a giant tulle dress? Don't. There's picnic tables instead of round tables? Cool beans.

Does this sound like you?

"Jessica has photographed our large family, engagement photos, my bachelorette (as a surprise appearance!) and our Deep Creek intimate wedding! Not only does she take incredible pictures, but she makes sure that everyone feels so comfortable and happy throughout the whole experience. She also is the BEST person to have close by on your wedding day, not just for capturing moments but for keeping the bride in the most calm state possible. I breathed a breath of fresh air the second she arrived!! I could not recommend Jessica Fike Photography more!!"

"she is the best!"

Big Fun

Big Reputation

- ABBY AND TOMMY

Jessica was the first vendor we booked. In fact, we didn't solidify our wedding date until we knew she was free! I can't even begin to say how much we loved getting to work with her, and how seamless she made the whole picture-taking experience. When we got our sneak peek of some of our photos, we were blown away! Tommy can attest to the number of times I have looked back through the pictures and said, "But look at this one..." again and again. We can't recommend Jessica highly enough!

"WE WERE BLOWN AWAy!"

DEEP CREEK WEDDINGS,

The no-Contact-Form
Contact!

I don't want you feeling boxed in...and let's face it, sometimes the forms are hard to fill out (at least on phones) and really just don't allow you to be free.

So call me: 412-582-1282. Or email can be fine too:

But I do ask you be as informative as possible when emailing. One or two lines won't cut it. Tell me who, what, when, where, how and why. The more to your message, the better!

Also know that if you email me first, I'm going to ask for a phone call...because guys, chatting possibilities over the phone is so much easier!

We can also get to know each other better. This is not just a business transaction.
I hope you agree.
