Hi! I’m Kyle - desert-drawn, wilderness-tested, soul-led. I’ve spent over 15 years behind the lens and a lifetime learning how to hold stories.

I design elopement days as thresholds, so that the experience you have on your elopement day becomes a blueprint for the life you want to build together.

if you're looking for a sacred pause in a world that doesn't know how to slow down,

then let's make some magic together.

Every one of my elopement packages includes a fully planned true–to–you elopement experience, designed around your values, your vision, and what makes your love wildly yours.

With deep care, practical support, and a photographer who knows how to carry a story through wild places, your day will be as grounded as it is unforgettable.

A deeply personal, co-created experience designed around your story—not a template

I handle the how, so you can stay present with your why and the joy of a wedding day that feels like freedom

If you're ready to embrace

the perfectly imperfect...

flyaways
uncontrollable laughter
weather with a wild heart

if you want a day built around who you really are, not what anyone expects -

I'VE GOT YOU ⟢ Let's design your perfect-fit elopement experience

No date? No location? No ideas? No problem.

book your complementary curiosity call

You need space. Steadiness. A story that feels like yours and a place to let it roam freely.

You want to make a memory that roots you, softens you, and shows you the way back to what matters when life gets loud.

welcome to my corner of the wild.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi, I’m Kyle Khalil. I’m your photographer, planner, and love-literate listener: someone who helps couples like you craft wedding days that feel like you: honest, grounded, free.

I create elopement experiences for those drawn to awe: set in outer spaces, but shaped by your inner world. I’ve been told I hold space like a doula: deep listening, no performance, just a steadiness that lets people show up fully. I’ll ask good questions, help you rest deeper into the present moment, and turn the truth of your love into memories and art you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

I know what it’s like to feel the pressure of doing things “right,” even when it doesn’t feel right in your gut. To want something sacred and true, but not have a blueprint for it. Even elopements have become their own kind of trend. And while I love a beautiful landscape, I believe these days deserve more than just pretty pictures and punchy captions. I’m here to help you build something truer, wilder, and more deeply you - something that honors your story, not the expectations you’ve outgrown.

Whether you’re exchanging vows in canyon light or choosing love again in the golden glow of an alpine sunrise, I’ll be there - not just to take photos, but to help you feel seen, held, and a little bit transformed.

What if you’re dreaming of an elopement experience that feels like you, and you want to plan it with someone who sees more than the logistics – someone who listens for the why, not just the what?

What if you’re not sure how “outdoorsy” you have to be to elope – and that’s making you second guess everything?

What if you don’t want to perform your love story – you just want to live it, fully, and be seen for who you are?

What if this experience could help you slow down and notice what matters most – not just for one day, but for the life you’re building?

Maybe you’ve seen elopement packages that look beautiful on paper, but aren’t fully resonating. Or maybe you’ve been trying to piece it together yourself and it’s starting to feel overwhelming.

You know you want more than a checklist, and you don’t want cookie-cutter.

You want something that feels like you—from the way you plan it, to the way it unfolds.

That’s where I come in.

I dig in deep to understand who you are and what matters most to you,

and then build every detail around that foundation.

a summoning spell for my kinda people:

  • I come to these places not just because they’re beautiful but because I’ve become someone in these places. I know what it means to seek grounding and transcendence in the wild.

  • I know what it feels like to be “too much” or “not enough.” I know how painful it is to not feel seen, and how profound it is when someone finally does. Is there a part of your story that needs to be held with tenderness? I know what it’s like to carry both ache and joy into something sacred. Yes, I show up with a camera, but I also show up with reverence.

  • I work with a limited number of couples each year, ensuring I can learn your lore and weave care and presence into each interaction.

  • Born in Germany, and moved fourteen times by the time I was 18, across countries and continents.

  • Don’t feel like you’re “outdoorsy enough” for an adventure elopement - but deep down, you actually really want to do it? I’m a begin-againer. A survivor. A guide who shows up with presence, not ego. Gate’s open, come on in.

  • I’ve climbed hundreds of pitches, traveled across glaciers, backflipped out of airplanes, crossed the Dirty Devil river 27x in a single day, off–roaded hundreds of miles, and my record for consecutive nights slept under the open sky is 37.

    Whatchu wanna do? I’m in.

I think we are looking for each other
