What is the story behind Will Khoury Photography?

Eloping is such an awesome thing and you deserve an amazing time celebrating your love. There is nothing that I love more than capturing moments that matter and being part of an experience that’s so memorable! Whether you plan on eating pizza after your Amalfi Coast elopement, hiking Iceland’s epic highlands to exchange vows, popping champagne in Southern France, or celebrating by drinking mint tea in the Moroccan Sahara desert; IT ALL MATTERS!!

I’m an elopement photographer who cares about the bigger picture, the intimate celebration, and your love, and I’m here to help you create an unforgettable experience and capture it in all its beauty.

An elopement is exactly what the word suggests — a raw and true celebration of your love. Eloping means doing it your way, forgetting about industry trends, and creating a day that celebrates you as a couple, and the things that matter to both of you. It’s an opportunity to do anything you wish, have something unique, and capture meaningful photos that you can cherish for years to come.

My role for your elopement day is more than just a person with a camera who shows up to take pictures. I want to bring value to your day and invest my time in getting to know you! I love getting to know your story, what’s important to you, the little things that matter to you and your partner, and the things that got you to where you are together as a couple.

Believe the hype — Will is incredible!

Where do I even begin with Will?!

From our very first conversation, we could tell what a genuinely wonderful person he was. Planning a wedding in Yosemite comes with its own challenges, and Will went above and beyond from day one. From navigating permits and weather to helping us choose our date and even weighing in on what color our officiant should wear (yes, really!). He was always happy to answer our endless questions and made the entire process so much easier.

The first time I met Will in person was when he knocked on my hotel room door at 5:15 AM on our wedding day. Within minutes, I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. He helped us check out of our hotel, then gave me a ride to our first-look location, chatting the whole way like we’d known each other for years. That’s just the kind of person he is.

Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken before (not even engagement photos!), so I was naturally a little nervous. But Will has this incredibly kind, calm, nonjudgmental energy that immediately puts you at ease. He offered gentle guidance without ever making anything feel forced or posed. Our friends and family absolutely loved him too!

And can we talk about how HARD this man works?! I’d been following his work on Instagram, and you can just see the passion he puts into every photo. But watching him in action is something else. Walking backwards, constantly moving, searching for the perfect angle and lighting. He’s truly incredible at what he does, and somehow makes it all look effortless.

From our sunrise first look and private vows to our Yosemite Valley ceremony and evening reception, he captured it all so beautifully. I’m especially grateful we had him return for our reception. We got to be completely present without worrying about documenting anything ourselves, and he even captured amazing drone footage!

Just a few days into our honeymoon, we got a text from Will telling us to check our inbox. Our sneak peeks were already there!!

And our reaction? OMG. THE LIGHTING. THE MOMENTS. EVERYTHING!! We were genuinely in shock. How did he make everything look SO beautiful?! We kept saying, “Wait, when did he even take that?!” The photos are stunning, candid, emotional, and so completely us. He didn’t just capture what our wedding looked like, he captured what it felt like.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’ve said multiple times since our wedding that I wish we could do it all over again, partly because I want another excuse to have Will photograph something for us!

If you’re considering hiring Will, DO IT. You’re not just getting an incredibly talented photographer. You’re getting someone who genuinely cares, goes above and beyond, and feels more like a friend than a vendor.

We truly couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture our wedding day. Thank you, Will, for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever! ❤️ We hope we get the chance to work with you again someday!

Best decision we made.

Buckle up, 'cause this is about to be a long review because this man and his company is so deserving of recognition.

Will Khoury is a 10/10 photographer and human. When we started our wedding journey and began the process of finding a photographer, Will easily stood out as a knowledgable, professional, kind, and calming person who would go above and beyond to make sure our day was captured with the artistic edge we were looking for. Throughout the entire process, he was a steady presence and helped us plan our wedding weekend with ease and attention to detail. He remained a constant source of support through what is often a stressful (albeit exciting!) season. Planning a wedding from across the nation truly should have been more stressful than what we experienced... and I believe we owe much of that to Will and his guidance and knowledge of Yosemite and our venue. Whether it was helping us navigate timeline details with park traffic, order of photos to minimize possible family tension and improve flow, or simply check in with us about how we were feeling, Will was foundational for our wedding planning process.

The weekend of our wedding, Will reminded us again and again why we chose him with his professionalism and fun personality but also his ability to calm our nerves (and our family's!). I distinctly remember a moment before our ceremony where my young nephew was struggling with his boutonniere needle on his suit and was quite upset and overwhelmed by how it felt (sensory ish is really hard on an overstimulating day!). Before anyone else, Will jumped in, got on his level, and readjusted it perfectly so the sensory overwhelm of the needle was completely removed from my nephew's perspective. This highlighted his ability to work with people from all ages and backgrounds with ease and skill. That's a "backstage" memory I truly won't ever forget and I am forever thankful for.

Will also decided last minute to bring a colleague/coworker David with him, who I want to make sure is included in this review. He not only was so similar to Will in his calming presence but clearly was just as knowledgeable and skillful. We were so thankful Will brought him along!

Throughout the ceremony, reception, and sunrise photos, Will balanced guidance for photos with disappearing in the background to capture organic moments. My husband and I were very nervous about portrait photos as we tend to feel awkward and are unsure how to pose (classic Midwest white people), and Will made us feel so comfortable and honestly made the entire experience more fun and authentic. We received our preview photos within a few days of our wedding, and we were absolutely blown away. My husband and (mostly) I half sobbed our way through the photos and loved reliving those moments.

TL;DR: Will and his team are incredible. Would absolutely recommend him for all your photography needs. His portfolio speaks for itself and meeting him in person solidifies the deal with his kind soul. :)

Will is the best!

Working with Will was one of the best decisions we made for our intimate Big Sur wedding. From our very first conversation, we knew he had exactly the demeanor we needed to make an exciting, but sometimes overwhelming, planning process feel calm and effortless. We went into planning with lots of ideas, and Will helped us refine our vision. One of his best suggestions was splitting our photography into two days, which made our wedding day feel incredibly relaxed and allowed us to be fully present with our families.

Since we live on the East Coast and planned everything remotely, Will went above and beyond by scouting multiple ceremony locations the week before our wedding. He sent detailed videos, photos, maps, and notes about each location, including the trails, lighting, and views, so we could confidently choose the perfect spot. It felt like we had someone on the ground who genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision, not just taking beautiful photos.

On the wedding day, Will made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His direction was subtle and natural, never forced or overly posed. We knew we were in good hands when we realized he was smiling just as much behind the camera as we were in front of it. It felt less like working with a photographer and more like spending the day with a friend who just happened to be incredibly talented.

Then came the photos. We received our sneak peek the very next day, and we were blown away. Will has an incredible ability to tell a story through his images. Every photo brought us right back to how the day actually felt. If you're looking for someone who is not only an exceptional photographer but also a calming presence, thoughtful guide, and genuinely wonderful person to spend your wedding day with, we can't recommend Will highly enough.

Most Perfect Wedding Ever

Will was absolutely incredible to work with! He made every part of our day run so smoothly, and everything turned out perfectly. From meeting us at our ceremony location to making sure we got every photo we could have dreamed of, he went above and beyond in every way.

He wasn’t just our photographer, he was also our tour guide, helping our families get to all the locations they wanted to see and making the entire experience stress-free. Throughout the day, he made sure we were comfortable with every part of the process, from navigating the hikes to checking in with us at the higher elevations. He was always there to offer a helping hand and genuinely seemed to enjoy celebrating alongside us.

When we received our photos, we were completely blown away. They are the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen, and they captured our day more perfectly than we could have imagined. We truly couldn’t recommend Will more highly!

Incredible Engagement Session Experience from Start to Finish

We had the best experience working with Will for our adventure engagement session and honestly can't recommend him enough!

Going into it, my biggest worry was just feeling awkward on camera. Neither of us are used to being photographed and I wasn't sure how that would go. Will made it so easy though. He was super involved in the planning process, helped us think through everything, and even went out to scout the location the day before the shoot. He came back with some great suggestions for adjusting spots but still made sure to take our opinions into account, which we really appreciated.

The day of was so much fun. We were a little nervous at first but warmed up quickly. By the end we were just laughing and exploring and it genuinely didn't feel like a photoshoot at all. Will has a great way of directing you without making it feel forced or stiff. His energy just puts you at ease!

What really stood out to us was how prepared and professional he was the whole time. The location scouting, the creative ideas, the way he kept us comfortable throughout it all made a huge difference.

The sneak peek of our photos already exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with how they turned out and can't wait to see the full gallery!

If you're on the fence about booking Will, just do it. He makes the whole process so easy and stress-free and you will be in great hands the entire time. Worth it!

Will Khoury Photography is the BEST!

We cannot recommend Will Photography highly enough! His photography is absolutely stunning, and the images he has captured so far during our wedding day are beautiful. Beyond his incredible talent behind the camera, Will went above and beyond in so many ways throughout the day.

He was calm, professional, and willing to jump in wherever needed-- even helping my groom with his tux when things got hectic. He worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, making everyone feel comfortable and helping the day run smoothly.

What stood out most was how much he genuinely loves what he does. You can see his passion in the way he interacts with people, looks for the perfect shot, and pours his heart into his work. He wasn't just our photographer, he felt like part of the team, helping create an amazing experience from start to finish.

If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, kind, and truly invested in making your day special, Will is the photographer you want. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day! And we can't wait to use him in the future for anniversaries shoots. :)

100000000/10!!

My fiancé and I got the opportunity to do a film session (35mm & 120mm) with Will at the Marin County Civic Center.

We cannot say enough about how wonderful of an experience it was for the both of us! Will was so thoughtful in scouting the location and providing us explicit directions on where to meet him, map included (which we totally misread and he was very understanding about)! I was having a really difficult time choosing which dress to wear, and Will graciously offered to look through pictures of several options & provided me with really helpful suggestions!

The day was just a dream - Will has such a warm demeanor and any nerves we were feeling leading up to the photo shoot quickly dissipated after meeting him. He provided the perfect amount of direction while also giving us time during the shoot to just "be." He took time in between shooting locations to really observe the different spaces to be sure we were going to get the best results possible out of the day. We also got the chance to just spend time chatting with him, which was so lovely.

We're so in love, enamored, thrilled with our photos! We feel so incredibly blessed that we had the opportunity to meet Will and be a part of his art! We could not recommend him enough. If you want a photographer that will care deeply about YOUR day and about YOU, go with Will.

11/10 would recommend:)

Where do I begin?? Will is incredible—he is truly a visionary and can make the mundane look magical! He is thoughtful and very responsive, doing regular check ins, providing support and suggestions on preparing for the shoot and choosing outfits that would match our intended vibe, ensuring that we felt important and prioritized. He was flexible in working with us and helped to create a comfortable environment—he made it very fun and natural for us two non-photogenic people! He delivered our photos quickly and we were obsessed, to say the least. The photos were beautiful. If you ever get the chance to work with Will, take it! He is so talented and kind—you’ll be so glad you did.

Above and Beyond Photographer

Will truly made our micro-wedding at the end of October. It’s obvious how much he loves what he does. His portfolio speaks for itself, but what you don’t see there is all the behind-the-scenes work he does to capture the perfect shots.

During planning, his questionnaires helped us sort through things we hadn’t considered, and he helped map out the day-of schedule. Will relieved a ton of stress for our small (12 person) wedding without a coordinator.

On the actual day, the venue had set up the arbor in a spot with poor lighting, and Will immediately stepped in to get it moved to a better location. It made such a difference. One of my favorite parts of our wedding day was doing a small hike with my husband so that Will could take some picturesque shots of us along the Point Reyes National Seashore. Having those quieter moments in nature to take pictures, relax, and laugh with my husband on our wedding day are some of my most cherished memories. It went so smoothly because of Will's coordination and planning.

Honestly, Will was the most essential vendor we had. Both my husband and I were feeling insecure about being photographed, but he made us feel comfortable, and the photos turned out so much better than we imagined. There are several we can’t wait to print.

I would absolutely recommend Will to anyone looking for the perfect wedding photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
