Intentional Storytelling - Timeless Memories

Hey! I’m Will Khoury

Intimate wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern California.

It’s no secret that I love the heck out of being an elopement photographer. I’ve been taking photos for as long as I can remember and have found my calling through artistically capturing unique wedding experiences.

Elopement and Intimate Weddings are about your connection, how you and your partner are together, being true to who you are and how you like to do things, the small moments that make the big picture, the experiences you value, and the things that make your story unique. This is what eloping is all about.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days that you’ll celebrate and cherish for many years to come, and I’m excited you’re here and ready to celebrate your way

Lets create a memorable wedding experience

WHAT’S AN ELOPEMENT?

An Elopement is the most personalized and intimate way to get married.

Eloping is getting married YOUR WAY.

An intentional approach focused on an experience.

It’s about choosing what speaks to you, forgoing what you don’t care about, and creating a unique-to-you wedding celebration.

More About Eloping

Eloping or having an intimate wedding is all about choosing the experience you dream of

Eloping is for those who want to celebrate in a way that feels true to them,
where the focus is on both of you and your priorities.

It’s about chasing the right feelings, not expectations, finding beauty in the unexpected, and creating a day that’s completely your own.

It’s choosing adventure, a beautiful destination, intention over norm, and a wedding day celebration that’s an experience of a lifetime.

Your wedding day should feel like you, not a production.

That’s why my elopement and intimate wedding collections are built around freedom, flexibility, intention, and a personalized experience. With years of guiding couples to get married in places like Yosemite, Big Sur, Iceland, and beyond, I know how to simplify the planning, focus the day around what matters, and document it in a way that feels honest and elevated. Whether it’s sunrise vows in the mountains, a multi-day destination adventure, or an intimate backyard wedding, I’ll help you shape a day that feels intentional from start to finish.

  • Every intimate wedding/elopement begins with a consultation where we talk through your ideas, vision, and priorities. This is your time to personally connect with us to get clarity, ask questions, and leave with a simple roadmap that makes the planning process feel easier and more exciting.

  • You’ll receive our full planning guide, packed with detailed steps, tips, and resources to help you create an intentional wedding or elopement experience. From timelines to vendor suggestions, it’s designed to save you time and help you feel supported at every stage.

  • Choosing the right location and building a timeline can be overwhelming. We’ll share personalized location recommendations, travel guidance, and schedule ideas so your day flows naturally, with space to breathe and enjoy every moment.

  • Within days of your celebration, you’ll receive a curated highlight gallery of sneak peeks so you can relive your celebration and adventure right away. Then, your full gallery will be delivered, ready to download, share, and love for years to come.

  • A hybrid “best of both worlds” approach to capturing your day, creatively. Both digital and Film photography can be utilized in different scenarios to emulate the best feeling that represents that moment.

  • You won’t be navigating your elopement or intimate wedding alone. From the moment you get in touch to the moment you receive your gallery, we’ll be available to offer advice, suggestions, and guidance so planning feels simple and stress-free.

  • The best photos come from real experiences, not stiff poses or forced moments. Your day will be captured as it unfolds, true to your day, natural, and designed to feel like a celebration, not a photoshoot.

  • When you inquire, you’ll receive the full pricing guide, which includes all inclusions, options, and booking resources. It’s the easiest way to see how we can help bring your day to life and point you in the right direction from the very start.

We take on a limited number of weddings each year because this is not about volume.
We’re here for the couples who want a dialed experience, guided with intention from the first conversation to receiving their gallery.

The photos are forever, and the process should feel calm, cared for, and genuinely enjoyable.

Share your story, and we’ll set up a time to connect, talk through what you’re after, and make a plan that fits.
