Faith & Leland’s Country Love Story at Brookside West Park in Ashland

Faith and Leland’s session at Brookside West Park in Ashland, Ohio felt like stepping right into a country love story. The warmth between them made every image radiate joy! Brookside West Park is one of Ashland’s most beautiful photo locations, and this session reminded us of just how versatile it is for capturing genuine, timeless moments.

We started in one of the park’s wide open greenery spaces, which offered the perfect backdrop for romantic, country-style portraits. This area was perfect for capturing the fun and relaxed side of Faith and Leland’s relationship.

From there, we made our way to a set of steps that I absolutely love photographing. With the sun setting just behind them, the steps created a dreamy, light-filled scene that brought such a soft warmth to the images. Faith and Leland’s smiles said it all—they were having such a great time together.

At the bottom of the steps, the path opened up to Brookside West Park’s beautiful lake. The reflection of the sky in the water made it feel like a painting, and the way they looked at each other in this setting was pure magic. It’s one of those spots that works perfectly for romantic portraits, no matter the season.

We wrapped up the evening in an area of tall grass with a boho-inspired feel which was a perfect way to end their session. The texture of the grass, paired with the warm tones of the setting sun, gave us a soft, natural look that tied the whole story together.
