Time for JFP to try something new! GOING LIVE! 🙂Â
This past week, I attended our Garrett County Wedding Professionals educational session about social media tools and going LIVE in business. Abbey Way, Social Media Coordinator for a few resorts in Pennsylvania, including Seven Springs, was our speaker and she shared with us how being live in her social media efforts has been a very positive, beneficial thing. Reaching-almost-a-half-million-people-with-one-video positive, beneficial kind of thing! 🙂Â
So I thought why not? Why not share more about what JFP is really about!? More of me working behind the scenes and sharing stories and info and pretty places and experience with my followers. If being LIVE on the JFP Facebook page and sharing more videos can help me connect with clients and you my followers, AND grow my business, why not!?Â
Well, I’ll tell you why not. My initial reaction was “Because it makes me nervous and I don’t like being in front of the camera!” BUT I convinced myself otherwise and knew I had to give it a try…and really just believe that what I have to share may actually be entertaining! I mean, have you seen a wedding photographer on a wedding day? Lying on the ground to get the perfect shot and standing on chairs at a reception to see over the crowd!? What about during an engagement session in the rain? Just last weekend I found myself standing in bushes, holding an umbrella and photographing my couple sitting on the front steps of a house at the lake enjoying popcorn and beer at 8:30 in the morning…all the while I was wearing my new $20 red rain boots. 🙂
Entertaining, right? And really, an opportunity for you all to connect with me. I’m all about being personable and sharing personally through my business and this is just one more way for me to do that! I went LIVE on the JFP Facebook page for the first time today and you can see the recording here:Â https://www.facebook.com/jessicafikephoto/.
And because it’s not a blog post without a picture, here’s a “behind the scenes” moment captured by my friend and second shooter Carrie at a wedding this past February…
Day 19 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!
