Our Story
We are Chantel and Derek Keener, a husband and wife wedding photography and videography team from Chambersburg, PA.
We met in elementary school, Derek was 2 years ahead of me at a small private school where everybody knew everybody. We knew each other for 11 years before we really became friends 2 years after he graduated.
At the time, I was in the beginning stages of my photography career and he had just filmed his first wedding. He worked up the courage to ask me out to dinner and shopping, our evening ended by checking out a local look-out that night.
From that day on we were inseparable, many of our first “dates” were spent exploring new places and taking photos. Photo and video was our common ground, the love for capturing the beauty of the world around us and life’s fleeting moments is what brought us together.
Two years later Derek proposed at that same lookout where we went on our first date. In late 2013 we officially combined services and started “Keen Imagery”.
We said “I do” on June 14, 2014. We now have two beautiful daughters, Brookelyn, age 4, and Brielle, 2. We are truly blessed and so thankful for our little family!
Now that you've gotten an idea of who we are and how Keen Imagery came about, let's talk about what we do!
Derek and I both have over 7 years experience in wedding photography and videography. I am the lead photographer while he is the lead videographer. He's the master behind putting all of those amazing clips to music while I am the one and only photo editor! We are always each other's "second shooter", unless of course we are both booked to do the same wedding, in that case we hire one of our preferred photographer's to be our second shooter/assistant for the day! Derek's gear of choice is his Panasonic GH5, while I am totally in love with my Canon 5D Mark iv. We are SO passionate about what we do, and we just love love! We would be honored to be a part of your wedding day, or capture your family in the season of life that you're in and give you memories to cherish for years to come!
