THE LORE DROP ABECEDARIUM:

An abecedarium is a book of letters, often with exercises, and this lit-teacher-turned-photographer (who never stopped reading) has made one just for you and your love story.

So grab your hottest homie, pour yourselves a glass or a cuppa something, and meander together into your favorite subject (each other) with the Lore Drop Abecedarium Vowels, my gift to you in service of joy and closeness everywhere. 

the vowels 

a hello from your friendly neighborhood cosmic co-conspirator.

Hi, I’m kyle khalil

I got here the long way: an MA in literature, a decade teaching it, and fifteen years behind a camera in the wildest places I could find. I built ky khalil co after I stopped resisting my inner calling and at last alchemized all of the things I do best into what I do now for couples all over the world. I read the story the two of you are already living, closely, and I build a whole wedding experience around what I find.

Most couples have never been read that closely. I’m told it feels the way reading a book feels the moment the story clicks: when the scattered, seemingly random twists and turns suddenly cohere into a throughline that was there all along. Except this time the story is your own, and the throughline is the two of you. 

Let's Make

SOMETHING
TRUE-TO-YOU

Your story read by someone trained to find the throughlines, and a bespoke celebration built from what I find there.
