s on time and showed up ready to work. I'm so grateful that I had a photographer with so much experience because it made everything go so smooth, especially with the large bridal party that we had.
Besides everything the day of, Ken is extremely timely with the return of the pictures. He sent me several photos the next day, and all 6000 of my pictures were done 4 days after the wedding. On top of this, the pictures are absolutely STUNNING!
Three cheers for Ken Love, I would recommend him to every bride!
Ken and his assistant were FANTASTIC! Worth every penny.
It poured outside the entire weekend of our wedding. Ken was creative and flexible enough that we still managed to have...
thousands of beautiful photos despite never being able to go outside.
Our picutres are the one thing from the wedding that will last forever, I'm so happy we chose Ken Love.

I used Ken Love Photography for my recent wedding. He was fantastic. He came to shoot us getting ready around 11:30am and stayed until around 9:30pm. He took so many photos in s...
o many different spots. When we got our pictures, all of the “good ones” had a re-touched color copy and re-touched black and white version. He also sends you every picture that he took, even the ones where some people aren’t looking, which are sometimes my favorites. He and his crew were very easy to work with.
Prior to our wedding, we interviewed with a couple other photography company's and their rates were so high. Ken gives a fair price and his photos are excellent.
Ken Love and his staff were very fun, friendly, and professional! Everyone has been raving over our unique photos and how beautiful they all are-this is why we booked Ken Love! His...
photos are original and unique and he captures those special moments give us treasured memories. We loved the editing he also did to the photos! I would most definitely recommend Ken Love for any special occasion photography! Thank you to Ken Love and his staff! Amber Singer
Wedding photographers are not all the same and it's not something you want to skimp on when it comes to a wedding budget. We searched high and low and Ken Love is the BEST! He's pr...
ofessional, experienced, and fun to work with. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. He provides an artistic perspective that you can't find just anywhere. It is clear that he understands the industry. He made our wedding day so much fun! He captured moments that were truly priceless and was a true pleasure to work with. And the turn around time is amazing! We had our photos back in just a few days. And the compliments have not stopped! We highly recommend him. What an amazing artist and photographer!!
Phenomenal vendor all the way! Ken and his lovely wife Julie ADDED to our day so much! And the pictures are AMAZING!Ken made a very good point early on: as a vendor, his services a...
re the ONLY ones you TAKE away with you from a wedding! SO true! And as the mother of the bride I felt that no better money could be spent than on the photography!
Ken Love and his wife do amazing work. The pictures that they deliver are absolutely beautiful. They tell a better story than our video's do. They are a bit on the pricey side, but...
it is well worth it. The only thing was the email conversations that went back and forth. He did seem a little pushy and demanding. It gave us the complete wrong impression of him before we even met him and were actually regretting our decision at one point. But, once we met him the day of the wedding, everything was just fine. He was very easy going and open to suggestions and had the pictures to us the next week! We were so surprised and even more when we saw them. We relived our day all over again. We highly recommend him but would suggest phone calls with him instead of emails.
Ken and Julie did a great job! Fantastic artistic photos that capture every moment of the day and we get to keep all of them. They are a blast to work with!
My husband an I used Ken Love as our wedding photographer an we were very pleased with everything from start to finish. Ken was very personable, honest regarding wedding time frame...
s, reasonably priced, extremely skilled within his profession, and has created the most beautiful pictures. We couldn't have imagined choosing anyone else, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

ven returned home from my honeymoon. I truly believe no photographer can compare to how awesome Ken was to work with, we had so much fun at every one of our shoots we had with him, as we also did 2 engagement photo sessions with him. I LOVE my wedding photos!!
After browsing through local photographers online, when we came across Ken's work, my husband & I knew we wanted to book him and have zero regrets. He and his wife, Julie, are abso...
lutely fantastic! Ken is truly an artist and has an eye for photography. You will not be disappointed. The photos are absolutely beautiful! Our friends and family love them as well. Another great quality of Ken's is how fast he is at responding to your emails. If you have any questions, he is always there to answer. I was very impressed! We also used Ken for our engagement pictures, which turned out beautiful! His prices are very reasonable and hard to beat for the value you are getting. If you have any doubts about booking, Ken, don't! He is absolutely AMAZING!
I used Ken Love Photography for my wedding on June 28, 2014. When Ken and his lovely wife arrived for our day I knew it was going to be a great time. He is very passionate about h...
is job, but makes a good time out of it. He showed up with a great sense of humor and was very laid back which made me feel less stressed. He chose great locations for our pictures in downtown Medina. Our pictures are breathtaking and the finished product arrived at our home in less than a week. I was taken aback by how gorgeous and detailed each and every photo is. By looking at the photos you can see how much time and care he took with each one. I felt honored that he was able to photograph my wedding. These are wonderful memories I will have forever.
Ken is a pleasure to work with. He responds faster than lightening to any inquiries made and is very knowledgeable, so do not be afraid to ask him any questions. He was happy to lo...
ok over our wedding day schedule and make suggestions as to what needed adjusting to fit everything together with a nice flow.
Ken and his wife, Julia, arrived as scheduled for our wedding with big smiles on their faces. They jumped in and helped out as we finished up getting ready for the ceremony. Ken was like a ninja, always appearing in a new spot to snap a photo, as the ceremony happened. Our ceremony was cut short by a sudden downpour but Ken and Julia hung in there and got shots of us running away in the rain.
After the wedding festivities we went downtown Akron to take some additional shots of the artistic variety. Ken did a phenomenal job with these photos. He and Julia knew numerous spots to take really cool photos. We dodged the rain here and there but were still able to get in everything.
I received my photos on discs within a week of the wedding. The pictures are fantastic. Ken did an excellent job retouching them as well as just an overall fabulous job shooting the photos. The artistic shoots we did in Akron turned out beautiful. I highly recommend him!
Ken and his wife were our photographers for our wedding. We signed up with them over a year before our wedding--make sure you do, as his schedule books very quickly! Ken was very s...
traight forward on what the package included and he answered questions quickly via email (sometimes almost within minutes). One aspect that slightly bothered me, was the extreme of "tooting his own horn" he did during email responses. Yes--he is VERY talented, and has many accomplishments and awards for his work, but it can come off as arrogant after awhile. This may simply be a way of self-promotion, but every email response went from the answer to his history of success. Other than that, Ken (and his wife) were incredible. They arrived on time the day of the wedding and captured just about everything we wanted. We have many photos that look as if we are "famous" models. Compliment after compliment have been given by all that have viewed our shots--truly works of art. He is a very funny guy, seriously full of endless energy. (Side note, make sure you reserve two spots at the reception for him and his partner for whatever meal you are serving your guests--keep in mind, he is on his feet all day and will not be pleased with a Ham and Cheese sandwich (as he told us lol)and plus it is in your contract). Great guy though. He definitely dedicates his life to making your wedding shots worth the money. Hands down, the best in Ohio!
Ken is awesome to work with!!! He responded to all of my emails within minutes and at any time of day. When we met with him, he and his wife were extremely welcoming and showed us ...
several examples of his work over the years. We hired him to shoot both our engagement photos and wedding. He was extremely easy to work with and very passionate about his work, which makes sure he gets you the best results. Additionally, Ken provides you the rights to all of your photos and a copy of all photos. We received 300+ photos for our 1 hour engagement session and 6 disks of our wedding photos, including 900 photos that were retouched at no additional cost. We loved all of the photos and would gladly work with Ken again. You will not get this experience any where else!
We loved Ken Love from the minute we met him. He was not exagerating when he told us he would do anything and everything possible to make our wedding day run smoothly. Ken and his ...
wife/partner are more than photographers. they are coordinators, artists, planners, and therapists. That is just there service side. Our photos are phenominal! They got every single shot imaginable and the ones we never even dreamed of. They were everywhere for the shots but they blend into the crowd so our guests never felt like their view or experience was interrupted. In that moment between ceremony and reception when we were getting a few family photos and I was starving; they had snacks for me! when I was about to cry because my dad was missing right when we were supposed to walk down the aisle his wife calmed me down while Ken found him. They did everything you want a photographer to do and then more. He was super fast to respond to any email inquiries and I had my photos within a week! The pictures are to die for! Ken's color theory is stunning! He sees things I did not! He has an eye for design and a knack for capturing moments. He took a picture of our first dance that looks staged. My husband actually had to ask me when we "posed" for that picture. Ken is THAT good!
If I could do it all over and plan the whole thing again I would have changed many things. I would NEVER change choosing Ken Love!
Julia and Ken were amazing to work with at my recent wedding. They showed up promptly and were extremely easy going, despite the sudden snow storm that blew in on us. Julia's eye...
for detail as well for the big picture and Ken's extremely talented photographic abilities make them an excellent pair. Plus, they were incredibly fun, laughing and joking the whole day, keeping the entire Bridal Party (including my 5 year old niece) entertained and excited for the event to come.
We received our completely retouched pictures in less than 2 weeks, including the disks, and from the few people that we've shown so far, everyone has been amazed and impressed with the details and quality of the photography.
Even prior to our wedding, Ken and Julia were instrumental in helping me nail down the timeline for the day to ensure there would be enough time for everything. Three hours might (and in some ways still does) sound like a lot of time for pictures, but if you're wrangling a medium sized or large-ish Bridal Party, you need all that time to make sure you get every great shot possible. And once posed shots really start Ken and Julia are amazingly time efficient.
They were wonderful and I know having them there on what could have been an incredibly stressful day really did make everything so much easier and more fun.
If you do plan to book them, do it as early as possible and don't delay. They book up fast!!!!!
Ken and his wife were the photographers for my engagement party/surprise wedding in March. Right away they were very relaxed and fun and really flexible which was perfect consideri...
ng my unique wedding. I told them what pictures were important to me and they made sure to capture those moments. It snowed... at first I was bummed but them Ken got some amazing pictures outside in the snow. I was just a smidge nervous prior to my wedding because I did not meet him or talk to him on the phone unlike the 5000 other people that you have to meet prior to your wedding but have no worries because there really is no reason to meet... he is great and a total pro... and his wife too! I would highly recommend him to other brides.

creativity is only surpassed by his ability to capture the emotion and moment in a photograph. When I look at our photos, the specialness of our day is palpable.

e captured at every angle. The edits and effects that were made on the pictures were beautiful and really helped to display the best parts of each photograph. We are so appreciative for the work that Ken and his wife did to capture our amazing day! They truly make an amazing team and worked diligently and very well with our large wedding party and family. We will definitely be recommending Ken Love Photography to all our family and friends. Thanks again!

Ken and Julie Love were fantastic!!!! From the very beginning with our engagement shots to the last photo of the night at our wedding they were 100% amazing! Ken is so quick to r...
espond to email, text, and phone calls at ALL hours of the day/night. Half of the time I never even set my phone down before he would respond. I don't know how he does it with all the weddings and events he does. The quality of the photos are above and beyond but what really sold me was how personable and friendly both of them were with us and the family. I love all of my photos and had them all (5,440) 4 days after the wedding! Some may view the price as a little high but I disagree! Ken and Julie give you the best customer service, flexibility, creativeness, and ALL rights to every photo! To me, those things are priceless especially for our special day! Flexibility doesn't even describe how awesome they were on my day. I had an extremely tight schedule to begin with but when my morning got delayed by 2 hours due to hair and make-up, they seriously rocked it out! They had my family posed and waiting for me as soon as I was done, they had all the spots picked out for the photos, and Julie helped me run all around with my big dress!! You will NOT be disappointed with these two! I loved having both of them especially for the first looks and special moments like catching my mom crying. Having both of them at different angles at all times captured my day perfectly. I will always use them in the future and I have to say it - I LOVE the loves! I mean how can you not book them for your day based on their name alone!! :) Honestly, the best money I spent on the best people!
My husband and I have NOTHING but GOOD THINGS to say about Ken and Julie Love! We live in Akron, OH, but decided to have our wedding and reception at a venue in my hometown, Buffal...
o, NY. Back in the fall of 2012, we had Ken take our engagement photos in Ohio, figuring that it would be too complicated to travel to Buffalo to have a photographer do a engagement/wedding package (I should probably mention that I read reviews on over 25 other photographers from the area before we decided to go with Ken because of all the nice things everyone else had to say about him). Bill and I were FLOORED with his creativity and talent, our engagement session was quick and painless, and we had almost 500 fantastic pictures! The hardest part was picking which ones we liked the best! We looked at many wedding photographers in Buffalo and I even had my family meet with a number of them, but we couldn’t find anything comparable to the photos we had from our engagement shoot – SO, we decided to take Ken and Julie with us to Buffalo!
Julie and Ken arrived at my parent’s house before we had even gotten back from the salon and got pictures starting from the second we stepped out of the car and stayed all the way until our sparkler sendoff! Being in NY, they were unfamiliar with all of the locations we had chosen for pictures – they were quick, efficient and creative in picking unique shots for all of our pictures, the true test of talented photographers! They were patient with our crazy, rowdy wedding party and found ways to make each and every person comfortable in their pictures and look fantastic! Julie had so many helpful tips throughout the day to make things easier for us (I must have thought to myself at least 15 times throughout the day “Thank God we have her here!”), her and Ken truly make a wonderful team. They weren’t intrusive at all with our ceremony or our reception, but still were able to take fantastic pictures! Looking back, hiring Ken and Julie was one of the best decisions we made – there isn’t anyone else we would have rather had with us for the day!
Ken and Julie’s patience, professionalism, skill, artistic eye, and great sense of humor were all deeply appreciated. Thank you both for everything you have done to make our wedding a day we will never forget, especially when we go back through our gorgeous pictures!
I dont think words could even express how amazing Ken and his wife are. My husband and I LOVE our photos. We couldnt have asked for a better photographer for our special day. Ken a...
nd his wife were so much fun and easy going. They are two of the most wonderful people in the world and we are so lucky to have had them there to share our day with us.The photos are breath taking and I love every single one of them.
WE LOVE KEN LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!
Choosing Ken and his wife Julie to be our photographers is one of the first and best decisions I made for our wedding day! I looked at several photographers online but when I came ...
across Ken’s site, I knew I had found mine! Ken and his wife Julie are innately talented in capturing the details, emotions, and people that make up the special moments of the wedding day. They are extremely experienced with weddings and not only took breathtaking photos but helped our day run smoothly. Ken is quick to responding to messages or calls which is very reassuring and helpful since, as the bride, I had many vendors to keep in touch with. I also loved that he was open to any ideas I wanted to try. I threw in a very random location that I wanted to take photos at after the ceremony and Ken was completely open to it and came up with many creative and fun shots I would never had thought of for the location. We have been getting compliments non-stop about how unique, creative, beautiful, and fun our pictures are. We absolutely love them! Ken and Julie are truly artists with a gift for what they do and they are truly awesome people you will not regret booking for your wedding. We love you guys! Thank you for everything!
The Absolute best photographers in the business! Words can not even express how amazing they are!! Highly recommended!!

ion! They made our day run smoothly and took on responsibilities that other vendors were not following through with. Our pictures....like I said, out of this world! We have received so many compliments on them and how they look like they are from out of a magazine. They're turn around time is like no other. Our cd's of pictures were already at home waiting for us when arrived home from our honeymoon! Not to mention his quick response to anytime I needed him. We will definetly be using their services anytime we need photography in the future! Truly amazing experience!!!
