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! ;)
jorgensen farms march madness
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!
planning for 2025 (and an engagement session at Jorgensen)
2025 couples should be about ready to book their wedding photography with local experts like Jessica Love Photography. I am looking to take on a few more clients for 2025, and I hope it’s you.
TLDR: I want to shoot your “off season” wedding, smaller wedding, or elopement…and in order to encourage you to do that, your pricing quote will reflect a heavy discount to book me up!
If you’re just here for the first time, welcome! I’m glad to have you - here’s a little about me in the shortest and SEO friendly blog post I can make about being a photographer in the greater Columbus area! I love LOVE my job. I’ve talked with lots of photographers who’ve started around the same time as me (14 years ago! wow!) that are feeling like they’re ready to transition out of weddings, but I’m here still quite excited about spending days with people starting their married lives together. A large portion of why I love what I do is that I schedule myself to not burn out. I - gasp - get ready for this…take most of the summer weekends OFFFFFF (!!) because more than loving being a photographer, I love being home with my kids during their summer breaks.
so I’m here to say to you: get in touch with me for your wedding photography…whether you’ve viewed my site and info and pricing, and even if you think your budget doesn’t match up. I get that what I do is a luxury, but also I aim to be as accessible to as many people as I can. If you’re getting married on a Sunday, in November, December, January, through March…you’re my people!! let’s do this and get you amazing photos, amazingly served, at a price that works for you!

Camp mary orton wedding
camp vibes for Ashley and Josh who were married at Camp Mary Orton in Columbus Ohio
I loved getting to spend this day with Ashley + Josh, and knew from the moment we chatted on the phone, how great it would be. I love Camp Mary Orton couples because they have a great mindset about how their wedding will be: relaxed, and feel like home!
What’s great about this location is that an indoor ceremony - ya know, when it’s 80 degrees in April! - doesn’t feel like a consolation. I’ve talked about it before, my number one advice is when picking a venue, make sure your “backup” plan is just as exciting to you as your perfect weather day plan. Here’s how I saw their beautiful day and love all around them!
