  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Willow Springs, 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.

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon was so nice to work with! He also was always checking on me throughout the day. the photographers of course will lead the way throughout the day and Gordon made sure he was capturing more natural things. We received all our footage so quickly! Gordon also cares about giving the best product to his clients and that’s something I really appreciated about him. The product was amazing and so flawless. Our short clip had all the perfect words from our ceremony and the video was like what happened the whole day! I loved it!!

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

Floral Wonders did an amazing job for our wedding! I don’t know anything about flowers but I sent inspo pics of floral pillars and they absolutely nailed it. They were gorgeous and exactly how I had pictured them. They deconstructed the pillars after the ceremony for loose florals on the reception tables, which also turned out exactly as I had imagined. The boutonnières and corsages were perfect and the bridal party bouquets were beautiful. I loved my bridal bouquet - I’m in the process of preserving it into a resin table so I can keep it forever.

Full service, independent wedding florist serving all of Chicagoland and Southeastern Wisconsin including Milwaukee. I believe that your wedding flowers should reflect your blended, personal styles and accent your attire and event space, not steal the show.

Annette was truly a joy to work with! She made all of my visions come true and was so helpful during the decision process. Annette was extremely kind, accommodating and a great communicator. She was very flexible throughout the entire process and allowed me to make changes and adjustments. One way she went above and beyond was allowing us to drop off hundreds of bud vases at her house a month before the wedding. She then decided what vases to use and how to organize them on each table. That took so much pressure off of us. The flowers ended up turning out so beautifully. I received so many compliments from guests. I absolutely love the way that all of the flowers turned out and how much they make pictures of the day pop!

Our team is led by Klaudia Szymel, who has been in the floral industry for 6 years and supported by an incredibly talented team. Odie is the Hound. He's included in every proposal, is on every call, and spends tremendous amounts of time in the studio. While he loves flowers, you'll catch him on our Story often or snoozing while the rest of the team works away!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Klaudia! From the very beginning, she was warm and supportive and understood our vision despite our inability to fully articulate it ourselves. We are not flower experts but we knew we wanted something whimsical and magical for our winter wedding. She spent tons of time with us, in person, on the phone, and via email, making sure our proposal was exactly what we wanted. She even stuck with us through some huge changes to our original wedding plan and budget and came up with creative solutions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted within what we could afford. Within just a few weeks of the wedding, we got some wild ideas to use some items of our own in the decorating, and she made that work for us as well. The day-of, our flowers were unspeakably gorgeous. Klaudia delivered the bouquets to us right on time, and decorated the venue beautifully (all while having a broken leg!!!! She is magic.) Our other vendors, guests and even strangers during our outdoor photos raved about the flower arrangements. They were super unique and special, and I never wanted them to be over! In fact, we still have my dried bridal bouquet hanging in our apartment three months later... In sum, hire Klaudia. She is the florist of dreams.

Brass String Chamber Ensemble 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Willow Springs, IL

Paul and Kris met in 1989 while playing in an orchestra in Wheaton, IL. They started the Brass String Chamber Ensemble in 1990 which quickly became very popular throughout Chicago and the suburbs. They have played over 2000 weddings and special events and have thousands of titles in their combined music library. The BSCE enjoys playing for ceremonies but also cocktail hour and during dinner. They are familiar with all traditional church ceremonies and also happy to play in banquet halls, country clubs, hotels, or even at a lovely home celebration. They are based in Naperville but travel throughout Chicago and the suburbs.

The Brass String Chamber Ensemble (BSCE) are an absolute pleasure to work with and we 100% recommend that you hire them to perform at your wedding! The BSCE played our wedding in October 2019 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mokena, IL. Our decision to hire them was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process! We discovered the BSCE during a wedding showcase and were extremely impressed with their offerings across the board. The setup we saw during the showcase was a very professional one and the music that we heard matched it perfectly. We knew right away that these musicians were true professionals and that they take their craft very seriously. In addition to the classical music you'd expect to hear at a wedding, we also heard them play a lot of pop music during the showcase as well. We thought this was really cool because it shows that they are willing and able to play some more modern hits. Another big factor that influenced our decision to hire the BSCE was how comfortable we felt talking to them about our ideas and what our vision was. Shoutout to Paul and Kris for being so down-to-earth, friendly, and accommodating during the entire process! Once we gave them the contact information for our music director at the church they were able to work directly with her on all of the details. This was great for us because it was one less thing we would have to worry about coordinating ourselves. Fast forward to October 12, 2019, the day of our wedding - the music was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! The church sounded so full of sound which truly helped to create one of the most memorable and love filled experiences of our lives so far. All of the musicians played in perfect harmony throughout the entire wedding. One especially memorable part of the music during our wedding was the use of the trumpet. To be honest we were kind of on the fence about whether or not we wanted to include the trumpet in the ensemble. However, after going to the BSCE website and listening to their audio excerpts (http://www.thebsce.com/audio.html) we decided that we did want to include the trumpet and we were SO glad that we did! While the organ and strings create an amazing sound all on their own, adding a brass instrument like the trumpet definitely takes it to the next level and makes the music at your wedding especially memorable. My wife and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on October 12, 2020 and as is tradition we ate our saved slice of wedding cake and re-watched our wedding video. Let me tell you that hearing the music again during the ceremony instantly brought us both back to that very moment at the altar - we both had chills!

For nationwide flower delivery, Phillip's was recently named one of the Top 50 florists in North America, the company's online flower shops have earned it honors, and Phillip's has also been named an Illinois Retailer of the Year. Phillip's Flowers may be best known locally for its colorful floral shops, busy delivery vehicles, and custom wedding flowers. Still, in an age of giant corporations and mega-mergers, it's nice to know that some small family businesses like Phillip's are blooming, too.

Phillip's Flowers is the absolute best! The flowers and decor were absolutely perfect! We worked with Laura Walsh and her team, and they were truly outstanding. At our first meeting, Laura guided us through every step of the process, took detailed notes, and asked questions to help us think through every detail. She even made arrangements based on our wedding colors. At our second meeting, she created more bouquets and centerpieces, which really allowed us to visualize what to expect on our wedding day. Laura was incredibly patient and understanding of last-minute changes. She is knowledgeable, flexible, and truly cares about her customers. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything!

Hi I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist i am also certified in airbrush makeup I have work with several bridal companies but finally want to do something for myself I have also worked with Asian/Indian/Pakistani brides

I had a lovely experience with Beauty Professional for my wedding day hair and makeup. Their communication was easy over text. The quality of work from Beauty Professional was beautiful and seamless. My bridal makeup looked flawless and was exactly the vision I had described to them. My bridesmaids also looked stunning with their hair and makeup done by Beauty Professional. I received so many compliments from guests on how lovely my makeup looked in photos and in person. Overall I would highly recommend Beauty Professional for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Their artists do beautiful work though and contributed very positively to making me feel like a gorgeous bride on my special day.

We're Jenna & Joey, a Husband and Wife team based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2020 (yes, in the middle of the pandemic). You'll often either find us at a coffee shop, the nearest burger joint or curled up in bed binge-watching New Girl while eating allllll the snacks. Oh, and we can't forget that we're dog parents to our favorite girl, Nala who is always trying to snuggle close.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We booked an engagement session and 8hr coverage from her for our wedding day with a second shooter. She ended up being sick the day of the wedding and texted us already with a plan in motion for another shooter to come in her place. When they got there they knew absolutely every single detail I ever spoke about with Jenna. It couldn’t have been more like if Jenna was there herself. She even got us around 25 photos as a sneak peek the very next day! We have talked so much since the wedding that we have absolutely zero bad things to say about the photographers and how easy they made the entire day go. Absolutely loved Jenna and her whole team and have already discussed booking with her for any future photography we might need!!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

My name is Bailey O'Neal -- I am the owner + videographer of Avant-Garde Videography and I love making videos! I love going places with my camera and enjoy capturing the content around me.

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

I cannot put into words how perfectly Colby Campbell Photography made our special day. From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Colby Campbell Photography!

I believe in marriage. I believe in portraying couples in the beauty that they are, to elevate their love and the aesthetic of the wedding day. I am a fair mix of the candid “in between” moments and refined, posed, timeless poses that will serve to be heirlooms for your children and children’s children.

As wedding venue owners of The Wilds (www.thewildsvenue.com) in Bloomington, Indiana, we have had the opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to absolutely adore Jordan Leffel Photography. We find ourselves frequently recommending Jordan and her team as they are incredibly talented photographers who are equally as focused on authentic client relationships as they are their final products. If you’re searching for true professionals with hearts of gold, look no further!

I've worked as an editor and videographer for the last 6 years of my life and filming weddings has allowed me to connect storytelling to a lifelong hobby and passion of mine; videography. In the off-season, I work for creative agencies, production houses, and all kinds of others as a videographer and editor. Follow me on Instagram to see some of my other commercial and creative work that I've had the pleasure of working on.

Brad was an absolute breeze to work with. Planning a wedding in 2020 was not easy, but you wouldn't have known that working with Brad. His communication was always on point and was there to answer every question. Not everyone decides to hire a videographer, but I would 100% recommend it. The outcome of his product left my husband and I speechless, not to mention brought tears to our eyes. Everyone always says the actually wedding day flies by, and truly it does. But having all of the video footage to go back and watch is something I can't put into words. Brad and team, I can't thank you enough!! So if you are on the fence of whether to hire a videographer or not, do it. I promise you won't regret it!

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

I don't even know where to begin......I found Nichole on good old Facebook. Right from the first point of contact she was just so easy to reach and she responded so quickly which is like the most important thing for a vendor when you're trying to plan a wedding. After our first phone conversation I knew I wanted her to be our photographer! We met in person for the first time for our engagement photos in January 2021 and it was like instant best friends. She knew how to make us laugh, it never got awkward, and the pictures turned out phenomenal! Next step was helping to outline the day of our wedding with pictures. She was really helpful in guiding our timeline of photos and making sure we were including all the photos we want. Helped with my stress levels. Then it was finally wedding day! Nichole is a rockstar!! My bridesmaids were even raving about her the next day! She knows how to make a bride feel less stressed on her wedding day! Nichole got all the photos we wanted and more. I still look at our wedding photos on a daily basis! Nichole is the absolute best photographer you could have! BOOK HER NOW!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

I've worked along side Mike as his second photographer for two years, he is by far the most creative and innovative wedding photographer I know. He has a great attention to detail and he is quick & efficient to capture a very meaningful moment. At times he even goes out of his way to create something unique & filled with emotion. He give great cues that create natural feeling emotions & poses. He is funny, kind, calm & upholds a standard of professionalism. His editing is consistent and thoughtful. I would absolutely without a doubt trust Mike with my own wedding photography.

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah was a such a pleasure to work with! She's easy going and flowed well with our video team on the bride and groom's wedding day. Her photos are full of life and speak in authenticity in documented and candid moments. We would love to work with her again!
