What is the story behind Brown Stones Photography?

Brown Stones Photography is a wedding photography company based in Bloomington, Indiana.

Hi!

I'm Keely, the chick behind the camera at Brown Stones Photography. I have been photographing weddings professionally for over 10 years, but I've always had a camera in my hand.

I love the idea of freezing time, giving my clients a little bit of history to cherish forever.

The artistic piece of photography is so exciting to me, I love being able to explore new ways of telling your story.

It's so important to me that you get to know me before the wedding. I highly encourage an engagement session. It helps us get to know each other, as well as for me to teach you how to move and give direction before the big day!

The photographer is really the only vendor who spends all day with you, so it's important to have a good vibe and be able to communicate well.

I hope to meet you and see if we click!!

xoxo

Keely

Stop the search, you found the one

We had the pleasure of meeting Keely almost 1.5 years ago to talk about potentially being our wedding photographer. And I’m so glad we decided to go with her.. our engagement & wedding photos are BEAUTIFUL! All of our family and friends talk highly of them.
Photos are the only thing you take away from the day besides memories.. and I’m definitely glad we have some amazing photos to use for years to come!

The Best Photographer

Brownstones Photography is hands down the best photographer we have ever worked with! Keely made our wedding day stress-free, helped us capture our most precious moments, all while being professional, courteous, and respectful! She was one of the best decisions we ever made! HIGHLY Recommend!

The smartest choice you’ll make for your wedding

Where do I begin? When we first met with Keely on our wedding vision, she said don’t hire me if you don’t like my vibes, you’re going to spend a lot of time with me on your wedding day. Fortunately for us, we loved the vibes!

We had an idea of what we wanted, but we wanted a trusted advisor that would listen to our thoughts and ideas and develop a creative and well researched plan that would result in a day of flawless execution. We had ideas that she was able to take her years of experience and turn it into something incredible. Beyond just the photography, she took a tremendous amount of time to understand our vision, our historic venue, and our schedule of events to ensure her plan for photography was thoughtful and included as part of the plan, but would not take away from our opportunity to experience our day.

We were smart to do a couples session prior to our wedding where we got to spend 2-3 hours shooting with Keely, and we said goodbye with big hugs feeling she was just as excited for our wedding as we were.

On our wedding day, Keely was prepped and ready and was there calling shots in the best way. Just like she directed us when she was behind the camera to engineer the best photo results, she was not shy about getting to know and working with all our vendors to make sure everything happened in concert. With background as an architectural photographer, she knew not only how to capture beautiful shots of us, but also how to shoot the venue and us in our venue to truly capture all of our beautiful wedding choices we’d worked so hard to plan.

It was important to us that all our guests got great photos of themselves as it was that we got great photos. Since we asked our guests to dress in formal attire, Keely created a Photo Booth at our venue and made sure every guest got great photos of themselves and/or their group.

Keely was quick to turn around our photo edits, and she went above and beyond to help us create shareable albums with our friends and family. The experience of working with Keely alone was tremendous, and the quality of the photos she was able to deliver far surpassed our expectations.

Keeley is a Must Have!

Photography is one of the areas I was a little concerned about. I know how important getting pictures of your wedding day is, but I have never been the best at posing for pictures. I found Keeley through a friend recommendation and we could not have been happier.

She was extremely kind and professional. And gave great direction and feedback so that we got some of the most beautiful pictures. She was able to work with a pretty diverse group of personalities and get both great staged and candid shots.

She returned the photos within the exact time frame promised, and they were BEAUTIFUL. We were so happy with the quality and the number of photos. Neither my husband nor I are artistic folk, so we really didn’t know how to explain what we wanted. We told Keeley what our vision was, and she MORE than followed through!
We wanted to do pictures at McCormick’s Creek, where we had our first date, and Keeley went ahead of time and prepared space on the trail and made sure the lighting was good. Those pictures in the woods are our favorites!

As an added bonus, I wanted pictures with my dog, who is 10 years old and has cancer, and Keeley was more than patient and accommodating to make sure I got some sweet pictures with my pup.

We definitely made the right choice working with her and I highly recommend her for any event you need photographed.

Best Decision!

Keely is hands down the best. She was my saving grace during our wedding and was straightforward with me the whole time. Her patience and drive for this business is incredible! Our wedding pictures look so perfect; the colors, positioning, and amount we got back are above and beyond!

The best part of our wedding was having Brownstones capture our day!

Looking back on our Big Day, I cant put into words have thankful I was to have had Brownstones helping me through everything. My mother is a photographer, too, and she couldn't help be gawk at Keely's incredible work and ease throughout the day.
Timelines were (of course) thrown off throughout the day, but Keely kept us moving along with comforting help as we got every perfect moment captured. She absolutely nailed every moment, and she was so fun to have by our side. My husband and I wish that we lived closer to have Keely photograph every milestone in our lives - She's just that incredible!

Stunning Photos

There are many reasons we chose Keely to be our wedding photographer. The biggest reason for me though was because I loved her true to color style and willingness to understand what exactly we were looking for in our photos. Keely was also super helpful in creating our timeline for the day and making sure we stayed on track to the best of our abilities.
The photos we received were stunning and everyone who has seen them has said the same.. the color, the angles, the style… all of it came together to create the perfect photo gallery of our wedding.

The Best Ever & Easiest Vendor Choice

There's really not enough great things I can say about Keely and BSP. We met Keely at a friends wedding and kind of hit it off with her. She was so nice and personable, that even as a guest, we felt she was the best photographer we've encountered. (and we have been to a lot of weddings haha) Fast forward a year and it was now our time to look at vendors—we had a list of photographers in hand but knew we had to choose Brown Stones. Keely was great with communication, direction, and asking all the necessary questions and helping plan, so this worried bride's mind was at ease. Thank you so much Keely!!! Hopefully we will be able to use BSP for even more major life events in the future :)

Local or away, check Keely out!

Keely made my wedding vision come to life in our engagement photos and wedding photos that we received! My fiancé and I had never taken professional photos before and Keely made the process easy and comfortable for us. She captured some really special engagement photos that we still look back on. Most of all, she captured beautiful wedding photos for us on our special day. She was able to accommodate our large families and get some beautiful pictures that are now hanging up in our families homes! She has a good eye on where to take pictures and get the most out of the experience. She even pulled us away to get some awesome sunset pictures (highly recommend doing this during an evening wedding). The quality of pictures and amount we received were worth every penny! If your local or even away, check her out!

Excellent photographer and experience!

Keely was absolutely wonderful to work with and does an excellent job. She makes you feel comfortable while not being shy about making sure she gets the best quality pictures. Several of my wedding guests commented how great she was and they wished they had a photographer like her for their event. Keely is both an awesome person and awesome at what she does, can’t recommend her enough and my husband and I will definitely use her in the future for our photography needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
