Lindsey & Benji: North Glade Inn Wedding

Lindsey and Benji’s July wedding at the BEAUTIFUl North Glade Inn near Deep Creek Lake, MD had a lot of different, unique elements to it…and if you know me, I like different and unique. 🙂 Bride Lindsey wore old turquoise jewelry, groom Benji wore a tie-dye-like shirt, the bride and her maids wore flower crowns, the ceremony included both Native American and Jewish culture, and Lindsey changed into a vintage dress she found in a consignment store for $10. All things that were very fun to photograph! The day started at Lindsey’s grandparents’ house at the lake with sunshine and heat and ended with a cool evening at the beautiful North Glade barn. I was thankful to work at the beautiful venue once more and also thankful for Lindsey, Benji and their uniqueness. 🙂 Enjoy my favorites from the day!

New favorite dress shot!

I’ve never seen bridal jewelry like this! Have you!?! The turquoise necklace belonged to Lindsey’s late grandmother…

The rooms inside were a little on the dark side, so I asked Lindsey to step outside for her getting ready pictures…

We ventured down to the lake for some portraits and I couldn’t resist getting some shoreline shots…

I wouldn’t normally go for harsh light, but I like what it does to these portraits…

Pretty sure I knew Benji was going to be a fun guy when I took this. 🙂 Besides, what kind of groom would wear a colorful, printed shirt on their wedding day? A fun guy like Benji!

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…

Scroll through some favorite blog posts!

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!

"Jessica is amazing!"

- Jessica and brandon

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!

" the best decision."
