Krystina + Cullen - Vintage Southern Engagement Portraits

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

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!

Anjuli + Charles - Arkansas Engagement Photographer

I met up with Anjuli and Charles in Benton where they're both from. We had a couple locations picked out in downtown Benton, that we knew we wanted to photograph their engagement photos. They both knew the area much better than me but I because I was down there the week before, I also had a place in mind that I wanted to shoot. We hopped in their car and started towards the open field I was looking for, but stopped suddenly when we saw this section of planted pine trees. Probably the coolest area I've found in a while. I had a blast! Here's just a couple of my favorites. Enjoy!

Patrick + Courtney - Little Rock Engagement Photography

Last week I met up with Patrick and Courtney. We were all watching the weather everyday leading up to their engagement portraits. Of course we were looking for the perfect weather, but this is Arkansas. : ) When we began our e-session, the sun was up and there was no chance of rain. It was only slightly overcast. That was all good though, we started knocking out some great portraits right off. Courtney and Patrick were awesome, they were having fun just enjoying each other and I was just snapping away! Towards the end of our session the weather began to change dramatically but that still didn't stop us, we were having too much fun. I also wanted to make sure we got a couple shots on top of the Junction Bridge in the RiverMarket, this was were Patrick proposed to Courtney. We ran to the top of the bridge, braving the wind, rain, and cold. The photos right at the end turned out to be some of my favorite photos from the day, and I know they'll be extra special Courtney & Patrick. Lesson learned... always take that extra effort. : ) Here's a couple photos from the session! Enjoy!

Justin + Sarah - Little Rock Engagement Photos

I'm so excited to show off these engagement photos that we took on Monday. I met up with Justin & Sarah downtown Little Rock near Sticky Fingers, FYI I'm a big fan of their chicken. We had a great time and I promised them I would make it easy on them. Nothing to difficult, just hanging out taking some photos right? Truth is, they made it easy on me. What a great looking couple, and Justin kept us both laughing with all his jokes, haha. Here are just a couple of my favorites! Enjoy!
