Capturing memories

Keanu was an incredible photographer and did an amazing job documenting all of the important details for our wedding. We had a lot of hand made elements and he made sure to get thoughtful photos of everything we spent so much time on. The photos of the wedding party and family were done so fast we had extra time, and they all turned out incredible. I would absolutely recommend KonoMedia for any photography, the photos really captured the magic of the day.

When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding I had a vision of how I wanted my photos to look, a warm vintage look to them. I came across Keanu’s profile and loved how he photographed. He was quick to respond, had a video chat with him, he went over his packages and etc, answered all our questions. Day of the my wedding, he was on time and got right to it with taking photos. I’ve seen some previews and they turned out amazing!! Thank you again for capturing our beautiful day ❤️

Highlighted review.

Keanu did such an amazing job! We were scrambling around trying to find a photographer's photos that we loved, and also at a reasonable price. That's when we found Keanu. He has su...

ch an amazing style that brings the photos to life. We chose him to take our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos (we definitely recommend doing both with him). He was very easy to work with, and we clicked with him right away. After our wedding day, our family and guests all talked about how they loved having him as the photographer; he was very polite and just wanted to capture great photos of our special day. We cannot recommend Keanu enough; we're glad we chose him to take some special photos!

We had the absolute best experience with Keanu Mono from Kono Photography for our lakefront wedding at Bay Pointe Inn in Shelbyville. From start to finish, Keanu was easygoing, cal...

m, and such a grounding presence on our wedding day. He kept everything flowing smoothly while still making sure every special moment was captured. What stood out most was how beautifully he captured our family and the genuine emotion of the day. Every photo reflects the warmth, sweetness, and love we felt — the quiet moments, the joyful ones, and everything in between. Looking through our photos truly feels like reliving the day all over again. Keanu has an incredible eye for storytelling and emotion. He didn’t just take pictures — he captured the feeling of our wedding perfectly. We are so grateful for his talent and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who is both professional and deeply intentional with their work.

Keanu is a talented professional, with a keen eye for candids, and an infectious energy that makes the process all the more fun. He is committed to his work, flexible, and adaptabl...

e with great ideas for both posed, fun, and artistic shots. Above all, he was just absolutely fantastic to work with, he had my husband, who hates taking photos feeling comfortable, confident, and smiling, and the photos he returned to us were beyond anything we could have imagined, they were perfect. He took shots by the lake, and photos of us with horses that were stellar. He was flexible when timelines changed as they sometimes do during weddings and even took the initiative to stay an hour later then his contract when he knew that important moments were still happening we were grateful were captured. He arrived early and had to travel all over the venue to various places indoors and out, and he was punctual, and had great ideas for every one. We did lakeside shots, forest shots, photos at a barn with horses, overall wedding scapes, outdoor/indoor, we had a huge wedding party and he captured every moment beautifully, beyond expectation. If you want to work with an enthusiastic, adaptable, and overall great human, book Keanu, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything Keanu!!!

e about what he does; he makes sure that all his clients get the most out of each shoot and that was definitely reflected in the time we had with him. Keanu made sure that both of us were comfortable the whole time, and in the end he delivered such amazing photos just days after the shoot!! To this day, those grad photos are some of my favorite photos.
