Hey there!
We are Keely and Aaron, husband and wife of The Montoya Collective! Keely takes all of these beautiful photos you’ve seen, and Aaron is the mastermind behind the tear-jerking videography. We are based in Northwest Arkansas, but we travel all the heck over. A bit about us…
Keely loves:
–
-DOGS. my dogs Luca and Olive (and every other dog in the world)
-deep dish pizza (the crappy pizza hut kind), —-french 75’s
My “why”: The love that makes up weddings is a driving force for me and the work I produce. Seeing the immense happiness between couples, their families, and their friends is my favorite thing in the world. I strive to connect with my couples on a deeper level, and getting people comfortable with me. Seeing those walls break down is an amazing thing.
Fun fact: I have chronic hiccups. Yup, it’s a thing.
Aaron loves:
-vanilla bean ice cream (Blue Bell)
-Zelda (OOT is my childhood)
-mixing drinks
-live music
-my dogs
My “why”: I have always loved taking photos and being creative. It wasn’t until Keely came into my life that I started to take videography more seriously as a career. Just one of the many things I have to thank her for. Music also holds a huge part of my creative heart. I try to learn whatever instrument I can get my hands on. So you may notice that the ebb and flow of a song plays a big part of the films I make. Every song I choose really connects with me. I can’t stop searching until I find just the right feel to match a wedding day. It is really important for me to be a calm presence during the day.
