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.

Effortless, Observant, and Masterful
Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special！ Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined. If you’re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding day—Jake is the one.
Response from vendor•Jun 27, 2025Aww! Thank you so much for the review and the kind words! I'm so happy to hear that you had a great experience working with me. I had such a great time photographing your wedding. You two are the best. :) JakeCapturing 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! -Jake
