Hello, Lovelies! Sheena here! I’m a Chicago Wedding & Engagement photographer located in Lockport, IL. I start from your wedding day, and I’m there to help with your timeline, set up our friendship, and so excitedly I have been with families from the wedding to the birth of their children, and one day on to their senior photos. Let’s capture your life as it grows and blossoms! Let’s work together to make some of your most beautiful moments your most precious memories.

Don’t hesitate to book with Sheena! Not only a great photographer but an amazing person as well. Ever since booking with Sheena for our wedding over a year out she was consistently in communication with us to prep for the big day as well as answering any questions I had about the logistics of the day leading up to it. The day of the wedding I was stressed with the timing of things and she kept me calm and assured that it would all be okay and made it work whenever we were cutting it close with time. I really appreciated the energy she had when I was stressing. Andrea also accompanied Sheena and was just as great. I definitely recommend booking Sheena’s 2nd shooter too because it’s a life saver when you’re tight on time and want to maintain your intended wedding schedule. Both women were super on top of getting all the shots I wanted and even jumped in to help outside of their photographer duties which was much appreciated. When my venue hadn’t lit all my candles minutes before cocktail hour they immediately started helping light candles and when my venue didn’t have a plate and silverware at our cake cutting table they sprinted to find some. Couldn’t be more grateful to have them there on our big day. When we had our engagement shoot with Sheena we were blown away by how amazing the pictures turned out and how she captured the sunset. I had a vision in mind and she made it come to life. All of our family and friends were astounded by how amazing those pictures were and we can’t wait to see all of our wedding photos and are already wowed by the sneak peaks she posted of our day!

Two Birds Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Crete, IL

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.

Jake is hands a down the best photographer out there. He was absolutely amazing to work with, professional, speedy, and efficient. We had a few inspiration photos but most let him run free with poses and style and we are SO glad we did. It’s honestly hard to pick our favorite pictures out of the gallery because they are all absolutely stunning.

  • Serves Crete, IL

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle. It honestly felt like they were everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding !! Thank you again luxurious memories.
