Absolutely incredible - will cherish these photos forever

I cannot describe how lucky I feel that the stars aligned and I was able to snag KeLi Photography for our wedding!! As someone who is extremely particular about photos, especially on this important occasion, I could not have asked for a better photography team. Kelsey and Liam were so incredibly easy to work with, talented, and professional. From the very beginning of our engagement session, we felt at ease in front of the camera with their guidance. Not only do we love the photos of us on our special day, but also the photos captured of all our family/friends enjoying themselves. They truly captured our wedding celebration perfectly and we are so thankful. Could not recommend enough!!!

Run don’t walk to book KeLi Photography for your wedding!

Videography and photography were so important to us as we looked for vendors. When we came across Kels and Liam’s work, we knew we found the partner for our big day. Kels has an incredible eye for photography - not only did she capture the shots we wanted beautifully, but she also captured candid moments that are some of my absolute favorite photos from the day. And Liam’s videos are amazing - it’s hard to articulate all the emotions of our wedding, but his videos do so beautifully.

Kels and Liam truly see their couples and help bring their love story and personalities to life. Their photos and videos will have you feeling like absolute movie stars. Their work is so unique and beautiful, and something you’ll treasure forever.

My husband and I were nervous about feeling natural in photos and videos, and Kels and Liam made us so comfortable and confident. We genuinely had the most fun with them from our first conversation, to our engagement shoot to our wedding day.

Kels and Liam are the kindest, funnest, most compassionate people, and they bring an awesome team together that makes absolute magic. We will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work with KeLi Photography and look forward to having them capture our future family milestones.

They Check All The Boxes!

Talent, personality, dedication, excitement. Selecting a photographer/videographer for our wedding was a very important part of the planning process for us. We didn’t want just any person with a camera standing with us on our special day and documenting the memories we would forever cherish. We knew we wanted showstopping photos with moody editing. When we hired KeLi, we got this and much more. We got photos that not only capture our love, but are Pinterest and Instagram worthy. We got a fun, easy experience in front of the camera with excellent and playful guidance from Kelsey, Liam and their second shooters. We got professionals who not only know what they’re doing, but are excited and enthusiastic about what they’re doing, too. Kelsey and Liam have very down to earth personalities and made us feel like we were friends, without overstepping the vendor/client boundary. As an anxious bride, I felt very relaxed in their hands, and could rely on them to help us through vision planning, arranging a wedding day timeline, and even putting our venue’s Maitre D in his place when he was going on a power trip. So far, we’ve gotten to see our engagement photos and a preview of the wedding gallery, but I cannot wait to sit with a box of tissues and cry over the rest of our photos and our video! The turnaround time to receive our photos, even with the craziness of the pandemic, has been very reasonable and, honestly, quicker than expected! Hiring KeLi has been worth every single penny with no regrets. Don’t hesitate!

A decision you absolutely will not regret

I’d love to say that my fiancé and I spent weeks of research, culling through various photographers, but that wouldn’t be true. After hours of mindless scrolling on Instagram, I was struck by this beautifully cultivated photo that you’d swear was straight out of a magazine. Lush waterfalls, two gorgeous models who looked incredibly in love, and a perfect composition. And that was it.

I reached out to Kelsey and Liam right away to try and lock these two down for my upcoming nuptials. Surely, they would be unavailable...but turns out we got lucky. They took our call, and I’m glad they did. Kelsey is the chillest, sweetest and most vibrant person you will ever speak to or meet. It’s hard not to fall in love with her the second she starts to talk. And Liam? Quiet, but you realize why once you’re on a shoot with him. These two are the perfect blend of creativity and magic. Their energy and passion is so palpable, that you’d think you could just reach out and grab a handful of what makes them special.

Never in a million years did I think that my pictures would look as beautifully cultivated like the ones they had in their portfolio. But they have this way of bringing out every beautiful moment of love and tenderness between you and your partner. Our engagement shoot was perfect. Kelsey is the literal hype man you never knew you needed, and Liam is the artistic ninja you never knew existed.

You want these two in your corner. NO, you NEED these two. We can’t wait for them to shoot our wedding, you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to work with them.

Best Photographers EVER!!!!

Kelsey and Liam are UNREAL photographers!!! We booked them for our engagement and wedding day and boy are we SO thankful to have found them!! We initially fell in love with their breathtaking moody aesthetic but were TOTALLY hooked once we had the initial details call with Kelsey which revealed their AMAZING personalities! They are a truly magical couple and made the whole wedding experience SO fun for us! Being a very awkward person in general and a tad camera shy, Liam and Kelsey made my husband and I have such a great time and not looked posed at all! We legit laughed the entire time and had an amazing time both days we spent with them. They are the BEST duo and make you feel like the hottest person on the planet. Every single person that has seen our wedding photos has said they can feel the emotion and love come through each photo. The most difficult part has been choosing our favorites to frame in our house. Photos are forever so it’s so important to have someone amazing like Kelsey and Liam to capture all the moments you might have missed or want to relive over and over!
Kelsey and Liam are so much more than just photographers, they literally became our friends. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and to capture the best shots possible. From untangling my necklace on my wedding day, to occupying our flower girls with camera lessons to get them out of ALL the shots, they are amazing and such a pleasure to work with. Their energy is contagious, and you can't help but love life when you are around them! If you are thinking about booking them for your wedding, PULL THE TRIGGER! I promise you won’t regret them and will fall in love just like we did! It is 100% WORTH THE INVESTMENT! I’m SO thrilled they captured this special time in our lives. I can’t rave enough about how great they are and can’t wait to find another excuse to hire them!! 😊

The Absolute Best!!

I truly do not have enough words for the talent that is Kelsey and Liam of Ke-Li Photography--but I'll give this a shot. If you are looking for FUN, professional, creative, kind, artistic, experienced, whimsical, incredibly easy going photographers then this power couple are where it's at (I could have extended that list but you get the point). When I started my search back in 2018, as a newly engaged bride to be who really doesn't like the "all eyes on me" aspect of getting married, I felt SUPER comfortable once I got on the phone with Kelsey and explained what I was looking for. She walked me through their process, answered every single one of my questions, provided helpful information and even shared guidance in the planning process from her experiences working in the industry. When it came time for our engagement shoot, Marc, my husband, was a bit reluctant going into it as I would imagine most grooms are in this situation but once the 4 of us met in person, we clicked instantly and the nerves went away. We couldn't stop talking about how great Kelsey and Liam are on our way home. When it came time for the Big Day itself, everything went PERFECTLY. Their sense of style and creativity is unparalleled and they both have a beautiful way of making the entire process a beautiful experience for couples. I cannot thank the two of them enough for being so wonderful. This caliber of client service is beyond appreciated and certainly doesn't go unnoticed. I HIGHLY recommend Ke-Li Photography!

Best Photographers Ever. Full Stop.

THE best photographers you could ask for. Period.
Kelsey and Liam were unbelievable. From the get-go, they were not only talented photographers, but great people to work with. Very easy-going and personable duo that just blew us away. They were constantly in touch with us throughout the wedding process and shot our engagement photos as well. I have been absolutely in love with the literally hundreds of digital photos we received. Our ceremony photos alone were just stunning. Our guests have even commented on how "invisible" they were even when getting some very visible and important shots. I am beyond excited to have these amazing memories captured so beautifully.
I could not be more enthusiastic about these 2. I will absolutely be hiring them again for any other milestones that come our way.
