Ave Nocturna Photography

feel like a priority. It was very important to us to hire someone who had experience shooting mixed race couples not just for the pictures but also someone who GOT it (and had the portfolio to prove it). She is all that and more. Throughout the planning process I found the wedding industry to generally lack diversity and Keli was a breath of fresh air in what felt like a stuffy and old fashioned business. She is also very fun on the day and kept everything going in an easy breezy style. We love her. And the pictures are great also lol!

nd I was having a really hard time finding a photographer with a similar vibe and style to us. At one point I was thinking I would have to fly someone from LA but came across Keli and her amazing work and knew she was the one. I feel so honored she shot our wedding and kind of can't believe she was available. Highly recommend her especially if you are looking for big city style. Thank you Keli!

y and smooth style so you almost don't realize just how much she is getting done. She was also my therapist throughout the entire wedding process! Our pictures are priceless and we could not be happier. Thank you Kel!

elivered better than what we could have imagined. This was the best investment we made in our wedding. Totally worth it and love love her.

w spouse of course :-) is your photo's and video's, which is why picking your Wedding Photographer is a major decision. Wow Wow Wow is all I can say about Keli. For starters, you need to remember that whomever you pick is basically going to follow your around like a stalker from when you are in your underwear getting ready right down to your sweaty dance moves near the end of the night, so you really want someone who you are comfortable sharing the entire day with. Not only does Keli feel like your long lost best friend at first meeting, you will actually feel the urge to call her for coffee for a catch up when its all over! My husband and I first met with Keli last summer after checking out her website and loving her work. We wanted to have a face to face meeting before booking, just to get an idea on personalities to make sure we would all gel on the wedding day. I think we booked her before our coffee even arrived. She did an incredible job on our engagement photo's and now she has just featured our wedding on her blog today and the photo's are unbelievable. We haven't even gotten our full set of photo's yet, but I am sure if they are anything like the ones she featured on the blog then they will be amazing. She has a magical way of capturing the sweetest moments of the day and has made our wedding photos look like some kind of disney fairy tail! Keli's manner is very laid back and chill, you can't help but relax around her, and she does a great job of moving it along during all the formal photo's when all you really want to do is grab a drink!! I just can't say enough about Keli, if she is available for your wedding date then you should book her asap before someone else does!

wedding. Everyone loved her. She is golden to us!

o us. She was just easy to work with and was not rattled at all by our bad weather! Top notch photographer and also she is a very cool person (almost too cool for us!). Thank you Keli! Jeff and Caitlin

so wonderfully. Couldn't more highly recommend someone!

essional, and was always responsive which I loved right off the bat. Definitely hire her!!

ks of art and we are so thrilled.

insight for things she did not have to and was generally a great sounding board for everything. Most importantly she is the greatest photographer and our pictures could not be better! Everyone kept telling me to invest in the photographer because that is the only thing you keep after the wedding and I am so glad I listened to that advice!

f the details, emotions, expressions and we will forever be thankful! Very professional and LOVE her style!

li did that and more. We could not be happier with our photos or our experience.

sponsive on all correspondence which is very important to me) and always had great insight to offer us not just on photography but on the whole wedding, which is not something she had to do but was so generous with her time. But most importantly she is a great person and we loved having her there! She went above and beyond in every way and I highly recommend her. Worth every penny!

elaxed, natural way. We had so many frame worthy pictures from our shoot, that we became that couple with photos of themselves all over the house! HA! Thank you Keli!!

ure the perfect light, natural poses, and the perfect mood and emotion. I couldn't be happier with the work she has done for us.

she did our set. They turned out beautifully!!! I keep recommending her to everyone I know because I love them so much!

is what she was doing in that camera of hers! Hire her.

me: you get what you pay for. SERIOUSLY the ONLY THING left after the wedding is the pictures. Even if your budget is small (like mine was) the most important thing is the photography. Highly highly recommend Keli!

ot really respect the ceremony leaving a generally bad taste in our mouths about wedding photographers. Enter: Keli Brown. She shot a wedding I was a bridesmaid in and I immediately became her groupie and even changed our wedding date by 2 weeks so that we could have her be there. We are thrilled with our photos and are fans for life!!! I still stalk her blog looking at everyone else's pictures :)

from who she is. The absolute best.

anted us to buy a package that we didn't need and did not understand the spirit of what we wanted. Basically- they were all really "in the box". Keli not only got it but made it better than we could have ever imagined! She not only did the pictures but she also ended up being our legal witness (and bought us a bottle of champagne!). These photographs are so special and we will always cherish them.

at personal style and everyone at the wedding raved about her. 2 of my engaged bridesmaids hired her the day after our wedding! We are forever thankful for our gorgeous photos.

mal and mundane (like my kitchen floor) and turn it in to art. We have used Keli for several sessions and we can't wait for the next one. You can't go wrong with this chick - except for coveting her entire wardrobe ;)

s. Keli is FABULOUS!

From babies to weddings, I am taken by the beauty and emotion she captures in each shot. Keli is amazing to work with. So talented, professional, fun and hardworking that I hope we'll soon have another reason to work with her!

ch any wedding or special event has plenty of. I have worked with Keli on several occasions and will absolutely hire her again!

jackpot when we found Keli. She did an incredible job, delivered amazing photographs and is a really cool and interesting person. The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring her!

(and look) far more glamorous than I typically am. And, as a result, she has become our family's photographer for everything: bridal portraits, my sister's DC wedding, maternity shots, newborn, my son's 1st birthday, and a session with my extended family. It wouldn't be a family event without Keli there to document it so beautifully!

tyle and creative art are amazing!

, are stunning.
