About Two Birds Photography
Two Birds Photography
Hi, I’m Jake Moreland—the photographer behind Two Birds Photography. I’m also a proud dad to three awesome boys (who I lovingly refer to as my unpaid interns) and a rescue cat who keeps me company—mostly by getting in the way in the best possible way. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me out hiking, camping, painting, digging through vinyl records, or making something with my hands. I’ve always been drawn to the soulful, timeless feel of black and white photography, and that sense of honesty and simplicity is at the heart of everything I shoot.
I started Two Birds Photography in 2008 with a love for storytelling and a desire to capture the real stuff—those unposed, joyful moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. My style is radiant, natural, and full of life. I’m laid-back, easygoing, and I do my best work when you feel like you can simply be yourselves. I’m based in the western suburbs of Chicago and cover the entire Chicago area, including northwest Indiana—but I’m always up for an adventure and happy to travel. And because I believe love should ripple outward, I make a donation to my favorite animal rescue with every wedding I photograph.

Capturing The Chaos And The Love
From the moment we first spoke with Jake and Emily of Two Birds Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was both professional and personal, making us feel at ease and excited for our wedding day. The quality of their work was amazing - they patiently and perfectly captured all the special moments, from the trampoline antics and inflatable ball tosses to the intimate candids and group photos. Jake felt like one of the family as he performed his job, and the final photos were absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the results, and the value was incredibly reasonable. A HUGE THANK YOU to Two Birds Photography for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable!
Response from vendor•Jun 20, 2025Thank you, Cathy, for the review! Im so grateful that you had me photograph your wedding ceremony. It was such a pleasure capturing the memories of your wedding. I appreciate you! -JakeAwesome to work with!
Working with Jake for our engagement and wedding photos was wonderful! He’s kind and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He approaches photography in a creative, genuine way rather than catering to Instagram trends. Our photographs are stunning and truly captured the feelings of the day. 10/10 would hire again.
Response from vendor•Jun 11, 2025Thank you so much for giving me a review! I'm so glad that you loved working with me. I wish you all the best! -JakeBeautiful Photos!
Two Birds Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication was clear, open, and understanding - they took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and provided helpful guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly professional, offering great value for the exceptional photos they captured. On the day of our wedding, they ensured we got beautiful portraits with all of our loved ones, and beautifully documented both the small details and big events - we especially love the photos they took of our sparkler send-off, which was a highlight of the day. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Two Birds Photography to any couple planning their wedding.
Response from vendor•Jun 11, 2025Thank you Sarah for the review! I'm glad you had a great experience having me as your photographer. I truly appreciate you having me be a part of your day. Thank you! -JakeGreat working with Jake and his team!
We were familiar with Two Birds Photography from my brother's wedding and then again for some family photos, so it was a no-brainer to go back to them for our wedding photos. They were incredibly responsive, understanding, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, always making sure we felt supported and heard. Their work was high quality - the photos they captured were seamless, with creative backdrops and poses that perfectly reflected the joy and intimacy of our special day. We had a truly great experience working with Two Birds, and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, professional, and personable wedding photographers.
Response from vendor•Jun 10, 2025Thank you so much Annie! I appreciate your kind words! I absolutely loved working with you and it's always a joy to do photos with your family and to see your families grow. You're the best!
