film is not (ever) dead
Sharing recent film scans from The Darkroom Lab, shot on Kodak portraits 400 35mm film by Jessica love photography in and around near me Columbus Ohio. Venues include Revery, Jorgensen Farms, North 4th Corridor Brick and Mortar. Film is exciting to shoot because it takes talent and observation skills to properly expose for light and conditions.
I love knowing when people find me because they’re diving down an internet rabbit hole of film photography (do we hashtag #film for that?). I’ll always try to incorporate film into my wedding and family shooting - and hopefully some of these recent film scans show you why!
the grain on that one!
faves from this weekend!
teasers from a wedding at Peak at Edison near me in Gahanna Ohio by wedding photographer Jessica Love.
This is it, summer routine of sharing a quick share with the blog, then slowly trickling it onto IG. Enjoy a few from a new-to-me-venue : The Peak at Edison in Gahanna, Ohio. I didn’t know what to expect, but loved the modern lights + open sky on the balcony level. I hope to be back again SOOOOON!
I cannot even tell you how incredibly happy I am to see color again. Ya know flowers are my favorite, and I truly cannot get enough of this summer so far!
another monday, another weekend faves
This is just such an easy and effective way to get new work out there - aren’t you (echo across the internet valleys…you..you…youuuuu) looking forward to it every week!?
I loved getting to check out Overlook at Astor Park - a new to Columbus venue that is just so beautiful. If you’re looking for a venue - check this one out!!
Sunday faves!
wedding photography from a Friday night wedding at Jorgensen Farms The Gardens venue in Westerville, Ohio. Teasers from a Saturday Elopement with Windi from Run to an Elopement at the Franklin Park. 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!
monday faves
a collection of first favorites from a Franklin Park Conservatory Palm House wedding in Spring 2025 by jessica love photography
I love sharing first favorites with couples early the next morning after their wedding. I know the pain of waiting on film - we snobbily only use film photographers for our family photos - so getting y’all something to view right away just is so rewarding (for you, and me!). Enjoy a few from this Palm House wedding, on Daylight Savings Sunday (waaah whhhhy do we do this to ourselves)!
I try to get a good mix of the entire day so you get a good feel for how your gallery will be! What do you think? Does a morning after gallery delivery sound like something that would feel good for your wedding photographer experience? Happy to chat if you think so! ;)
