Recap of our 2011

Hello, 2012! This past year has been an absolute whirlwind for us - both personally and professionally.

We moved our home and business from Kankakee, IL to Westmont, IL to be closer to the majority of our clients and to our family.  And although we are still swearing we will never move again, we couldn't be happier with where we are at!

This summer we welcomed our new baby, Bear Lewis, into the family! He is such a joy to be around.  At only 5 months old, he is absolutely full of laughs and smiles!  He is an amazing little guy, and has already proven himself to be so strong after undergoing cranial surgery last month to correct a birth defect in his skull.

Graysen turned two this year.  He is so sweet, gentle and inquisitive. But, to this day, he remains the single hardest little person we have ever tried to photograph.  As a child of two photographers, one would think he would just give in and resign himself to a life of shutters snapping at him, but he resists it as best he can!

Two Birds Photography has had an epic year filled with incredible weddings and wonderful people.

We can't thank our friends, or our past and present clients enough for all the amazing people that you have referred to us.  We do very little advertising and rely almost solely on word of mouth.  Thank you, thank you.  It's because of you that we had such an incredible year!

We are hoping to do more blog posts on some of these weddings over the quite winter months, but we want to share with you images from each of our weddings this year.  Each of these weddings were beautiful and unique in it their own ways and we are so blessed to have been able to share in so many bride's and groom's special days.

Happy, 2012!

Jena and Brad's Winter Wedding

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Jena and Brad's wedding last month.  They were married at the Zion Lutheran church in Tinley Park and their reception was held at the Esplanade Lakes in Downers Grove.  The outdoor portraits were taken at Hickory Creek Forest Preserve in Mokena but since it got dark so quickly we ended up doing quite a few portraits at the Esplanade.  They were such a wonderful couple to work with!  Enjoy the photographs!

Amanda and Tim's Chicago Wedding

I am just now blogging some weddings from this past year that I didn't have a chance to show before.  Here are some images from Amanda and Tim's October wedding.  They were married in the gorgeous (HUGE) Holy Name Cathedral and their reception was at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Chicago.  For their portraits we took a trolley to the Cancer Survivors Park which is also downtown.  Enjoy!
