  • Serves Chicago Ridge, IL

My name is Jake Moreland and I am the owner of Two Birds Photography. I am the proud father to three awesome sons, Graysen, Bear and Milo - who I fondly refer to as my unpaid interns. I also have a rescue cat who is usually underfoot. I enjoy hiking, camping, painting, black and white film photography, and I collect vinyl records.

Jake captured our wedding day beautifully. He was very easy to work with and took one stress off our plate as we were planning. During the day of, Jake blended into the scene and was not intrusive to the day itself. He made sure that we got every shot that we had asked for. He also called us aside for some photos during the reception at golden hour, which was a special time to escape for a few minutes. Jake delivered the photos within the promised timeframe. And we were delighted with the results. My 2 older siblings have both used Jake as their wedding photographer, and I'm glad I followed in their footsteps! Overall, great quality, kind human, and good value.

As a young couple getting married, it was scary to trust a company to provide everything we needed, but we felt very confident when we talked with Steve. The communication with Steve was great and smooth! They offered a Photographer, Videographer, DJ, and Photo booth! Ron, Austin, and DeAndre were the dream team.

JNA Visuals

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,850
  • Serves Chicago Ridge, IL

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

This is guaranteed to be longwinded because there aren't nearly enough words to explain how incredible Jayde is and how magical working with her was so if you're reading this, lock her in now and trust that you won't regret it because you're in amazing hands. For context, I was your quintessential type A bride with a very specific vision for my wedding. Given that, I was especially particular when it came time to pick our wedding photographer but from the moment we connected with Jayde, we knew she was the one. Beyond her professionalism and talent behind the lens, Jayde is kind, genuine, personable, patient, and caring, feeling like more of an old friend than your typical vendor. When we were torn on whether or not to do the first look, Jayde provided a high level of expertise and support, which led to us doing it and literally receiving photos that left us speechless. She also showed the highest level of enthusiasm for and dedication to capturing our day based on the vision described and literal 10 page mood board I created for her the week of our wedding, on top of the fact that she seamlessly captured photos of me and my husband on the skydeck, despite her personal fear of heights. During our initial conversations, I told Jayde that regardless of if I was looking at my photos six months post-wedding or 26 years later, that I wanted to be able to travel back in time and evoke the same emotions that we felt on our special day, and Jayde went way above my expectations, delivering breathtaking memories and stunning photos that we'll forever be grateful for. So all that said, if you're looking for someone who will ensure you're comfortable in front of the camera and will guide you flawlessly through the process of creating magazine worthy images that reflect the love shared between you and your partner, you NEED Jayde and I promise, you will not regret booking with her.

Kriztelle was such an amazing photographer for our wedding journey. From our first consultation she ensured the planning was about us and made us feel at ease with choosing a photographer. We checked out her instagram and loved her work, which led to our decision to book. Kriztelle was always flexible and honest with us. We quickly understood her passion and dedication as hopped on a boat with us on very cold Chicago day to ensure she got the best shots of us! When it came to the big day, Kriztelle made sure we were taken care of throughout her entire time with us. After each grouping of photos we took, after many photo requests from our family throughout the night (of course with our approval), and our truly candid photos on the dance floor. She checked every box we had requested. We also partnered with her for Photo Booth services and she managed everything like a well oiled machine. She was patient with our family and even helped us with a plan B when our outdoor wedding ceremony was rained on (Chicago weather at its finest). She worked a long day with us and captured detailed memories we will cherish forever. We recommend Kriztelle to anyone with professional photo needs, especially on their Wedding Day.

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding.

With a passion for storytelling through stunning visuals, Noah has garnered a reputation as the ultimate choice for couples seeking artistic, emotive, and breathtaking wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Noah is an absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him. I originally hired him to shoot my wedding a two years ago and have since kept in touch and hired him for my own company events. For me communication was crucial when speaking and selecting our vendors and I don't think there was a single email that wasn't responded within less than 24 hours. This was what made us originally select Noah. Noah made us feel at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our big day and even more so on our wedding day. He showed up early, was organized and professional but friendly as well. He made us a priority before, during and after the wedding was done. Within a week Noah delivered to us our entire wedding gallery, something that both my spouse and I were astounded and pleasantly surprised with. After reading and hearing horror stories of some photographers taking months to deliver photos, Noah eased all our fears once again and sent us a full gallery online. The icing on the cake is the photography itself. My wife and I loved all the photos and he did such a great job of capturing the day. I'll continue to hire Noah for anything photography related and have already recommended him to several close friends.
