Recap of family and wedding photography
Westerville, Ohio, is a picturesque backdrop for wedding and family photography, offering a blend of charming landscapes and vibrant community spaces. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, capturing the essence of your day is essential.
Wedding Photography
Every wedding tells a unique story, and as a luxury family wedding photographer, my goal is to encapsulate the moments that matter most. From the anticipation before the ceremony to the joyful celebration with family and friends, I employ both digital and film techniques to create timeless images that reflect your love story.
Locations around Westerville, such as the serene Uptown District and the scenic Hoover Reservoir, provide stunning scenes for your wedding photos. Each venue offers a distinct atmosphere, perfect for documenting every detail—from the delicate lace of a bridal gown to
It's no secret that when I’m not working, I love not working, and absolutely enjoy my time away…but also that when I AM working, I love it and am so grateful for all that I get to see and capture! Here’s a quick update, because we’re finding ourselves in the “working phase” of my duality ;)
and, finally, an Easter wedding at Oak Grove Jorgensen’s amazing greenhouse venue!
APRIL - WE ALL NEED SOME COLOR
looking and blooming flowers both in wedding photography and nature by Jessica love photography.
We’re almost to color and blooms. I always marvel at the spring - the world wakes up just as we, in the northern hemisphere, are desperately in need of hope. As I plant my fall bulbs, I always think of the beauty of hope. We plant at the beginning of the dark, the cold and phasing down of nature….knowing that spring will come. And we’re right on the brink - can’t wait to share my blooms with the world.
a rainy proposal
a proposal in German Village and a quick walk around in rainy spring weather by Jessica love photography
true story: photographing proposals is terrifying, AND I LOVE IT!
I get very excited for them, then as it’s happening, get the same butterflies and woozy feeling every single time. On Saturday, in THE most charming German Village neighborhood in spring, Brandon asked Anna to marry him IN THE RAIN. As if just looking out for the proposal wasn’t enough, now I’m also nervous about the rain! Well, it went perfectly and I’m always super honored to get to capture this moment for couples! Here are a few peeks!
film v. “looks like film”
two males perform a unity ceremony during their reception at the Franklin Park Conservatory.
story time: half of my inquiries come through mentioning something about being excited for FILM…and similarly 50% of my responses go ….without response. it’s an interesting situation! The second part of this comes as a visit to our local camera shop, and dropping $100 on 5 rolls of fresh film to get me through a weekend! See where I’m going here? When I send out my pricing, my pricing reflects that shooting film comes with additional aspects lots of people don’t think about!
My point is only that shooting film isn’t just an editing style for me. It’s something I incorporate into every aspect of my wedding and portrait photography. One of the best compliments I’ve ever received is a potential client telling me, after viewing a full wedding gallery, that seeing film made her realize she never knew how much she wanted film to be a part of her wedding! If film is something you’ve thought about for a long time, or just now because you’re seeing and reading it: let’s do it! Let me help you understand how film can make your gallery and wedding day unique to you!
spring is springing
Today is spring in the northern hemisphere, and we’re talking about all things spring sessions. This year Jessica Love Photography is offering sessions at Franklin Park and Goodale for spring mini sessions near me.
It’s shocking to exactly 0 people that (any) flower season is my favorite season. I’ve become more tolerant of the non-blooming seasons with age - finding the balance between the hustle that warm and nice weather brings to the slow and quietness of winter.
This spring I’m offering just two days worth of mini sessions - and they’re going … I wouldn’t say quickly…but they’re going!
I’d love to see you on my schedule this spring at the Franklin Park Conservatory or Goodale Park. Check it out below to see if our schedules align!

It is an honor to photography weddings and love - all love in Ohio and surrounding midwest areas. All photography by jessica love photography
truly, if I can keep up with blogging a few select favorites from the weekend for the bulk of wedding season, I’ll be amazed with myself! this weekend included a Friday wedding at Jorgensen Farms and a Saturday Elopement at Franklin Park. Every once and a while Ohio weather agrees with what we need it to be - and it was absolutely perfect for both events!
I hear myself being so annoying about how much I love my job and my couples, and getting to be a part of so much joy every weekend…but I also am ok with that energy going out into the world!
