Eli — Tue, 31 May 2011 22:28:21 +0000

Here are just a few more of my favorite photos from Leslie and I’s trip to Southern California. These photos were all taken in the city of Laguna Beach. Enjoy!

Tuesdays with Eli – Laguna Beach, CA

Eli — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:15:17 +0000

Okay, so I know that I’ve missed a few Tuesdays with Eli’s, but I’m trying to get back on track and I’ve got some catching up to do. Here’s a couple of my favorite photos from Leslie and I’s “Epic West Coast Road Trip” we took back in February. Laguna Beach is probably one of our favorite places to visit. We loved it here. The beaches here are amazing, the weather is fantastic (even in February), and the whole town in filled with art and creatives. Definitely a location I wouldn’t mind working in… Let me know if any of you Arkansas Brides want to plan a destination wedding and need a photographer who knows the area, haha. Enjoy!

Just an old couple that I saw walking the beach together. I thought it was cool the way they walking in unison. I hope this is what Leslie and I will someday resemble.

Just us, doing our thing.

I love this woman.

Leslie snapped this photo of some kid running on the beach. There was actually a playground right across the beach, what a cool area for a kid!

This is probably one of my favorite images. Not sure why, but I love this frame. From the looks of it, you may think that Laguna is retirement community, but there were lots of young professionals there. I guess this beach was just favored by the older crowd, haha.

Tuesdays with Eli – Somewhere Near Palm Springs

Eli — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:59:14 +0000

So I know it’s cutting pretty close to the end of Tuesday, but with all these crazy weather warnings, my productivity has been interrupted. So with the last few minutes before Tuesday is over, I wanted to share a couple photos from Leslie and I’s “Epic West Coast Roadtrip”.
These were taken somewhere near Palm Springs California. It was really windy here. Enjoy!

Tuesdays with Eli – Holiday Traditions

Eli — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 04:26:21 +0000

‘Tis the season! This is our first Christmas as a married couple together and we are excited. After having Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, grandma, and sister, Leslie and I decided that we wanted to start our own family tradition of picking out and cutting down our own tree. We made a trip to Motley’s Tree Farm for the day and this is what happened. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!

Tuesdays with Eli – Photobooths!

Eli — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 23:31:13 +0000

Leslie and I decided to set up a photobooth at our reception last weekend. I have never done one of these before so I wasn’t sure what I was in for or what to expect. It tuned out to be one of my most favorite things that we did. I still need to perfect the set up, but I’m still super happy with all the funny photos we got from it! Maybe I’ll should start offering this with my wedding packages, huh? Here are just a few of my favorites, there were so many great ones! If you don’t see a photo that you took please check here. You can also download a copy of the images there.
Also huge thanks to the staff at Next Level Events! These guys were super awesome at our wedding reception, they took care of everything for us and had the best service!

Tuesdays with Eli – Mexican Fútbol & Hermit Crabs

Eli — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 13:00:18 +0000

I still have so many photos from my trip to Mexico that I want to share. I’ve decided that I’ll spread them out over the course of a few “Tuesdays with Eli’s“. I spent a week in Mexico with my best friend, Jordan. It was my last trip as a single man. I’ve been on many a vacations with Jordan and his family in the past, we’ve been best friends for the last 12 years. Jordan has this neat web design company out of Fayetteville called Shift Creative, you should check it out. Jordan built my website and blog from the ground up. He’s your man if you have any web needs.
So here’s a few more photos from Mexico. These kids were pretty awesome. Jordan is on the right rockin’ the peace sign. They didn’t speak a whole lot of English, but we learned really quickly that both hunting hermit crabs and playing soccer (fútbol), are universal languages. Enjoy!!

Tuesdays with Eli – Mexican Sailboats

Eli — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 13:00:29 +0000

Still sharing my Mexico Photos. Here’s a few more! Enjoy!

Tuesdays with Eli – Keeping up…

Eli — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:29:21 +0000

Man, it has been way too long since I have blogged a Tuesdays with Eli. I told you guys that every Tuesday I would be bringing you up to date with my life and my happenings, but I have failed…. Since the last post, much has happened. I went on a really incredible trip to Mexico with my best friend and his family, I have moved into a new place, (I finally have a fax machine and my own office!), I produced the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon at the Fox16 Studios, put 3,000 miles on the new Xterra (sold my Integra), and of course I’ve been shooting lots of weddings, portraits, and family sessions! Leslie and I have less that 3 weeks before our wedding in St. Thomas! My life is moving really fast right now, I’m doing my absolute best to keep up. I’m not complaining though, no way! I am still blessed every day to get to do what I love and get paid for it. I can’t wait to be married and settled in with my new wife! I’m extremely thankful for everyone who supports me and all of my brides for booking with me! I have so many photos that I just cant wait to show off to everyone. I need to squeeze in a little more time to blog. Here’s just a few of my favorites from this past month, enjoy! Thanks for all the love!

Tuesdays with Eli – I'm in Sunny Ol' Mexico!

Eli — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:00:44 +0000

I’m super excited to be spending a week with my best friend, Jordan and his family in Casa Palmeras, Mexico for 7 days! I’m actually on the plane right now. I set this blog up yesterday release this morning. This will be the last trip I take as a single man, better soak up the señoritas while I can, haha. Leslie knows I’m just kidding. I’ll be taking lots of photos to share with you all! Stay tuned!

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!
