Two Birds Photography

Downers Grove, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

Zachera Photo

Elmhurst, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,600

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin with Zachera. She is a truly special human being, and it was an absolute honor to have her documenting our most intimate and special moments during our wedding day (and engagement shoot). If you go to her website, it'll tell you what you need to know about her and her work, but what it doesn't do is detail exactly how amazing she is and how amazing she'll make you feel. Before we officially booked Zachera, she set up a FaceTime meeting with us (we're in different states) and wanted to know our story so that she could ensure that we were the right fit for each other - an important step to making sure your day is going to be smooth and capture what you're envisioning! After we booked her she was nothing but exceedingly kind, helpful, and accommodating. I can't say enough how wonderful it was having her there on our wedding day. She really enhanced our entire experience, and I can't imagine our day without her help and guidance and kindness. I am a self-conscious person who worries often what I'm going to look like in pictures, and that's not something you want to think about on your wedding day. Zachera helped make me feel like the most beautiful bride, with genuine sincerity. Outside of Zachera being a great human, her work is absolutely stunning. It speaks for itself- you just need to look at her samples and you'll know. It makes you feel things. I don't know anything about photography but I do know that looking at her work conveys actual thoughts and feelings and not just images. Please consider sharing your day with someone like Zachera, and rest easy knowing that your memories will be lovingly preserved.

I live with my husband Clayton, our two little kids, & our sweet little puppy, Xander. I love coffee, seltzer, attempting to learn to play the guitar, & wine. Mainly, I live & breathe weddings. I adore the challenge & joy of shooting your wedding day- capturing every little moment of your day is my very own marathon and I absolutely live for it. So much so that if you want to share every wedding detail with me, prior to the big day, I'm all for it!

She made us feel very comfortable, and did not make the shoot awkward at all. She kept giving us good tips on how to pose. Pictures turned more beautiful than i imagined!

Being Joy Photography 

5.0

Carol Stream, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,799

For as long as I can remember I have always been around a camera. Growing up, my Mom was a big documenter of life freezing childhood moments in prints and recording videos. For my ninth birthday I received my first camera. GAME CHANGER. Boy was it fun to step on the other side of the camera. I was unstoppable, never letting my camera leave my side. From then on I cannot remember I time I hadn't owned a camera... or two... or three! Giving other the gift of memories is what brings me the most joy in life. To know that they will have moments they loved shared and reminisced for generations to come. That is everything.

Joy has been absolutely wonderful to work with in all capacities. She puts a lot of effort into getting to know her clients with personal touches that do not go unnoticed. Most photos taken of me (the bride) in normal life are of the marathon / running photo variety, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel with more posed couple photos. Joy made everything feel so natural and easy between both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Joy is extremely organized and is fantastic with time management - her template for the timeline worked so well for further planning. When the ceremony ran over, she got us back on target and moving out of the church while getting all the photos we had requested. She has such great vision for small details and how things will photograph - I often said “I trust your vision!” and the photos turned out so stunning! I especially wanted to remember the day in color, and Joy absolutely delivered on that (and quickly, too - the sneak peeks came back the next day!). She truly captured the magic of a fairytale day, and I am thankful to her and her team for their hard work. Joy is an invaluable asset to have on your wedding day, and you truly will not regret booking with her.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot, our photographer for our wedding, was incredible to work with, fast and took amazing photos for us to remember our special day. We did not have much of a “plan” so his help was instrumental in organizing and initiating photo opportunities. We would %100 recommend him to anyone needing a photographer for an event. He has a drone that he uses to take stunning cinematic quality video

It’s easy to tell that brook captures some of the most stunning photos you have ever seen just by glancing at her website, but it wasn’t until we experienced what it was like having her photograph our own wedding day that I realized how truly special she is! As a person, she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and like we could finally just let loose and didn’t have to continue to worry about every last problem! As a photographer, she captured some of the most beautiful, intimate details in a way that brought us back to our wedding day the moment we saw them! I don’t know how she does it, but she is just simply amazing all around! Friendly, passionate, professional, and an all-around amazing photographer!

Capturing wedding days is my bliss. We may start as strangers but throughout the process, many couples consider me a friend and I take care of my friends. I set out to make sure that the day is captured exactly how you envisioned it. I won't over-edit, I have an eye for anticipating special moments before they happen and capture them with style.

We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!

As a past bride and wedding professional of 16+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

As a DJ for over 25 years, I have worked with many photographers in my time. None are as easy, professional, and fun, to work with as Shayla Loring Photography is. I have had the pleasure a handful of times, and those are the weddings that go the smoothest. She has great communication skills, lots of unique ideas, and a passion to capture the night just the way the bride and groom want it. She also realizes the night is about the two getting married and her sole focus is on capturing the best memories in the photos. If you are in search of the BEST photographer, look no further!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse is the best. She is great with directing you into the perfect pose, always making sure you are show your best self. Her photography is natural and bright. I chose her for all our family photos and business photos because her editing and photography is timeless. She is great at getting everyone's attention and keeps things moving. Friendly, personable, reliable, basically every positive word describes Elyse and her photography! It's always hard to pick favorites when we get our galleries!

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney is everything you could want in a photographer. Photography was a top priority for my wedding and I'm so thankful I went with Expedition Joy. My photos are the exact "timeless, bright and airy (without being washed out)" that I dreamed of. She made us feel super comfortable, took feedback and let us request shots, quickly turned around our engagement session & wedding sneak peaks, and even let us sneak a shot back within 24 hours (insane!!!!). Photos are so important and you should book someone you can trust to give you the gift of those memories in the way you you want and envision them. Courtney did just that for us!! 10/10.

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!

I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

I'm a photographer driven by the desire to capture raw emotions and authentic moments. Specializing in emotive and documentary styles, I aim to evoke feelings in viewers through collaborative shoots that align with my clients' visions. With a keen eye for beauty in everyday life, I meticulously edit each photo to stir the soul. Whether amidst the golden hour glow of nature or any chosen setting, I strive to create images that resonate deeply with viewers.

Sarah is one of the most talented photographers I have ever worked with. She photographed our December wedding at Sanctuary Cove. Sarah's skillset is exceptionally versatile. We had a small intimate ceremony held indoors in the small Chapel, followed by photos outside in the sanctuary grounds surrounded by the Saguaro National Park. Her ability to capture the intimacy and closeness of every moment and emotion in each of these settings went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Beyond her skill, Sarah is a joy to work with and she demonstrates her passion for her craft in the energy and kindness she brings to her clients. We would 100% recommend Iris Rose Photography and can't wait to work with her again in the future!
