I had so much fun the other week making wedding portraits for Kathie and Jes! They built a backdrop and wanted to create a more modern studio look for their photos. It was definitely different from my norm as I usually go out into nature for my portraits but I was up for the challenge and I’m really happy how these turned out. Thank you Kathie and Jes for having me create these portraits for you!

I photographed Kaitlyn and Justin’s wedding a couple of weeks ago on a lovely October fall Saturday. I absolutely adore that the first thing we did was take some photos with their adorable puppy Sloane. She was really camera shy and I did my very best to be calm with her and was happy to get a few good ones. Their ceremony was held at the Buffalo Creek Brewery in Long Grove, IL so we took advantage of the beautiful fall scenery for portraits in the area including the Parker Coffin Bridge and the pumpkins set up for the fall fest going on downtown. It was an honor and privilege to photograph their marriage and to be a part of their day. Congratulations Kaitlyn and Justin!!

Never really thought I’d be photographing sports but here’s my oldest son doing the cross country. So proud of him for trying something new and he’s doing such a good job! Each meet he’s beaten his previous time. Go Graysen! Go Westmont!

Mat and Sarah had their wedding ceremony the other week at the gorgeous Rose Garden at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. It was a sweet and intimate ceremony and I’m honored that Mat and Sarah chose me to capture their marriage. After the ceremony we did a few quick photos before heading over to the Cantigny Golf Club for their reception. A couple of highlights of the day were all the beautiful flowers and details everywhere, the sparkler send off, and all of the night time fun with dancing, the photo booth, and shots. Thank you Sarah and Mat for having me be a part of your day. You’re the best!! -Jake

Kaitlyn proposed to Andrew and he said “yes” of course! I’m so happy Kaitlyn asked me to photograph the moment she proposed to Andrew. I had such a fun time capturing their love and it’s not every day that I get asked to sign as a witness nor is it everyday that I get to photograph my clients peeking out of cornfields, haha. Kaitlyn’s grandparent’s house was the perfect setting for their proposal. I loved every minute of it. Congrats to Kaitlyn and Andrew on their engagement! -Jake

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Emily and Doug’s wedding a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Hinsdale Golf Club. September treated us well with gorgeous and mild weather and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to take photos. Emily and Doug’s love for each other was palpable and I feel so honored to be able to capture their day. I can’t wait to share all the photos from their wedding. Enjoy! -Jake

Ashley and Danny got married a few weeks ago at Galleria Marchetti which is one of my favorite Chicago venues. I mean what could be better than dancing under the night sky on a gorgeous late summer night? They got ready downtown Chicago followed by a first look and portraits on the Riverwalk. I loved capturing Ashley and Danny’s fun and expressive energy throughout the day. A couple of highlights was their dog Hank dressed in a tuxedo who made an appearance during their ceremony and the flaming donut station for dessert. Enjoy the photos! -Jake

Lindsay and Jordan got married a few weeks ago on a beautiful (and slightly rainy) August Saturday. Their ceremony and reception took place in their backyard and I had absolutely great time spending the afternoon capturing their event. Some of the highlights are the millions of rose petals on the aisle, the cocktail bar in the front yard for the guests upon arrival, and the wood fired pizza for dinner. It’s always such a blessing to see two people in love get married and to be able to celebrate them with creating photos. Thank you, Lindsay and Jordan, for having me be a part of your wedding! - Jake

Congrats to Ellena and Alex who got married the other week at Mayslake Peabody Estate in the beautiful Portiuncula chapel. I was with them for just a short time that day but we had an absolute blast. I love it when I get to work with my couples in creating some really fun and unique images. Bonus for all of the laughter as well! Thank you Ellena and Alex for having me be a part of your wedding! -Jake

What a gorgeous August wedding day Staci and Patrick had at the Morton Arboretum the other week! It was sunny and beautiful and they had the perfect setting at the Grand Garden for their ceremony. The day was full of laughter and joy and fun and I am so grateful that Staci and Patrick chose me to photograph their day. Capturing these important moments of people in love joining their lives fills my heart and I love every bit of it. One of my favorite moments from this wedding is Staci and Patrick walking down the aisle and all the guests tossing dried flower petals at them. They were beaming!!

Special thanks to Nick Holstein for being my second photographer! His expertise and creative eye is always appreciated. Props to Ashley Printz of Effortless Events for coordinating another flawless wedding. If anybody is looking for an officiant I highly recommend Anne Styx of Rev for Whatev. I’ve worked with them a few times now and they do such a great job. Enjoy the photos!

The other week I met up with Olga and Jim at the Dupage County Courthouse for their wedding ceremony with their immediate family. It was a quick ceremony but lovely and meaningful all the same! We headed out to do some portraits right afterwards in the beautiful gardens at Cantigny Park followed by a dinner reception at Cadence in Downtown Downers Grove. I had such a fun time with Olga and Jim and I wish them many, many blessings for their marriage together. Thank you Olga and Jim for having me be a part of your wedding! -Jake

FUN. That’s the word I would use to describe Kelsey and Jimmy’s summer wedding. And even that seems like an understatement. Sparkles, sprinkles, tuxedo t-shirts, pool party, bubbles etc. I can’t tell you how delighted I was that Kelsey’s wedding dress and Jimmy’s shoes were light up. This backyard wedding was the day before the Fourth of July so you better believe there was lots of red, white, and blue. Their cake cutting included a confetti candle, they had all the kids blow bubbles during the first dance, and the wedding ended with a literal splash to open up a pool party. Kelsey and Jimmy were a BLAST to photograph!

Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.

I photographed Sophie and James wedding a couple of weeks ago at Kathryn Legge Memorial Park. The first thing I noticed when I got there was the display of the elements earth, air, water and fire. I got excited because it’s not often that I see alternative spiritual principles invoked in a wedding ceremony. One of the first things I do at every wedding is check in with the nature spirits of the place and I spent a few moments looking up at the beautiful pine trees that were overhead and I noticed Sophie glance up a few times during the ceremony and I was all like “I know…they’re lovely aren’t they?”. After their exchange of vows we did a flurry of group portraits in the park and then travelled to Il Poggiolo Ristorante in downtown Hinsdale for a few candids during their reception. I really enjoyed being a part of Sophie and James’ wedding and I wish them all the best with their future together!

Our Story

We are Jake and Jennifer Moreland, owners of Two Birds Photography. Our style is bright and happy. We are a laid back couple, and we love to capture real non-posed moments. We work out of our home in the Chicago suburbs, although we always have our passports at hand, and we love road trips!

Our cute little outdoor wedding in 2006 created the perfect union of a photographer and a designer. As a husband-and-wife team, we have worked side by side from the beginning and founded Two Birds Photography in 2008. We are the proud parents to our three awesome sons, Gray, Bear and Milo - who we fondly refer to as our unpaid interns. At home, our family shares it's quarters with our three-legged dog, our blind cat, and a mentally unstable kitten who are usually underfoot. It’s a full house, and absolutely bursting with love!

Working together has been an awesome experience and owning our own business has been enriching beyond anything we imagined. When we work with each other, our goal is to capture who you are and the amazing love that you share! Our individual strengths blend seamlessly to create a beautiful end-product we know you'll treasure for years to come. We would love a chance to work together to capture your story!

We love animal rescues! We always have a foster dog (or kitten) around the house. We do a lot of photos of dogs and cats who are looking for new homes. A good photograph really helps them get adopted. When you book us for your wedding we will make a donation to our favorite animal rescue!
