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!

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!

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! ;)

rating photos to enter into an annual contest at jorgensen farms, a wedding venue in Ohio
It’s a yearly tradition to submit and follow along as Jorgensen Farms completes a fun and friendly contest to compare the best photos of the year! If you want to chime in on what photos (up to 3!) I should submit let me know!
collecting film favorites from 2024
selected photographer favorites from a year of hybrid wedding photography using film and digital. These images are shot on a Canon 1V or Hassleblad medium format camera.
It’s always one of my favorite things to do in the slower season: Looking back through the year and resharing with fresh eyes + memories about all I got to witness in the previous year. I just really love this job. It’s never lost on me all that I get to be a part of with people who start out as strangers and become buds. Technically I like to slow down, look through all the images that didn’t catch my eye the first time, and figure out how I might be able to crop or adapt them to fit a need I didn’t know I missed. Enjoy some of my favorites, shot on my Canon 1V or Hassleblad medium format camera.
I find that film is something that lots of couples are curious about - is this you? I’d love to chat you through what a wedding day on film (and digital) would look like for you. Wedding day or family session, I love those, too! I have a few more dates I’d love LOVE to fill up this year - let’s chat today if you think that sounds good!
who loves free stuff?
It’s always my goal on here to be as transparent as possible, I love when I’m talking with couples and they tell me it feels like they’re hearing from a PERSON as they browse my website. So along those lines here’s some real talk - December into January is when photographers book a whole lot of work for the upcoming two years. That holiday proposal we love to love/hate on Hallmark Movies is a real thing!! As a perk to looking into working with me, I love offering you free stuff! I’ve found that getting our initial meeting over phone is a great way to see how we vibe, then offering an engagement session as a trial work together to really feel each other out works so well for all of us! So for the couples that decide to book me for their wedding, and sign contracts within the month of January 2025 will get a free engagement session included in their contract!
Questions? Ready to do this? Me too! Congrats on your engagement, your wedding-date-deciding, and all the wedding related things! I can’t wait to hear from you!
