Krystina + Cullen – Vintage Southern Engagement Portraits

Eli — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:17:21 +0000

I’m super excited to share these Southern Arkansas swampland engagement portraits. This was probably the most unique engagement session I have shot. Cullen and Krystina were completely natural in this environment though. I think they may have been born in the wrong era, hahaha. It also could have something to do with all the practice taking photos they’ve had. You see Krystina just happens to be an awesome photographer in Benton and I’m sure Cullen has had his picture taken a few times. I had a blast shooting them both! We were probably inches away from Arkansas Alligators making a snack out of us, and we were definitely lunch for those giant mosquitoes but we got some great photos right? I decided to break their e-session up into two parts. Check back later this week for more photos with and outfit change and new location! Krystina & Cullen I can’t wait for your wedding, Enjoy!

Tuesdays with Eli – Arkansas Mosquitoes

Eli — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:15:50 +0000

Hope it’s not too late for a Tuesdays with Eli blog post…Today was a very busy day for me. Lots of running around and craziness, but it ended on an awesome note. I finally got to shoot an engagement session similar to the “boat scene” in The Notebook. More on that later. Can’t wait to blog those. Well after we survived the alligators in the swamp, we decided to let the sun drop down and take on the deadly Arkansas Mosquitoes. I’m pretty brave when it comes to most environments, but it only took about two minutes in the misquotes for me to say “That’s a wrap!” Here is one shot I got. Those are NOT stars, they’re deadly Arkansas Mosquitos. Enjoy!

Patrick + Courtney – El Dorado, Arkansas Wedding Photography

Eli — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:57:17 +0000

Patrick and Courtney decided to tie the knot at the First United Methodist Church in El Dorado, Arkansas. They also wanted to set up a first look before the ceremony to save some time with family photos after the ceremony. I always love when couples decide to do a first look. They’re always some of my favorite photos. Patrick anxiously awaited his bride as she walked down the isle to see him for the first time with her wedding gown. These special moments are the reason I love my job. If I can capture an image that shows half the love that they felt in that moment, I feel like I’ve done a good job. Stay tuned for some more of my favorite photos from there wedding day on the blog Wednesday! Enjoy!
