Sarah + Chris - Teaser Arkansas Wedding Photography
With the storm clouds rolling in and umbrellas in hand, Sarah and Chris were more than ready to risk getting rain on and trudging through an open muddy field. Sarah was ready to do what it takes to get the great shots, and from my experiences, the reward is always greater than the risk. Don't they look great! More to come, here's a quick teaser from their wedding day in Altus, AR. Enjoy!
Brad + Evin - Little Rock Wedding Photography
Evin and Brad tied the knot April 15th on the balcony of Brave New Restaurant. I've always heard good things about this place, but now I can tell you for sure, Brave New is the bomb. All the beautiful floral arraignments were done by Tipton & Hurst. The ceremony was on the balcony on the back side of Brave New with an awesome view of the Little Rock skyline and Arkansas River as the backdrop. I had help from my good friend and fellow photographer Justin James. Check him out, he's a rock solid photographer. Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding day. Aren't Evin and Brad such a great couple together? Enjoy and leave them some love!
Lauren + Michael - Jonesboro Arkansas Wedding Photographer
Last weekend my wife and I had the wonderful privilege of spending a couple days with Lauren and Michael, their families, and closest friends. I'm so thankful that they chose us to be a part of their wedding day. The ceremony was beautiful, Lauren's dad's speech made us all cry, and these people know how to throw a party! I had so many photos that I wanted to share. I tried to narrow them down, but it was way too difficult.The Ceremony and Reception were both at the Church Street Station in downtown Jonesboro.

Krystina + Cullen - Marlsgate Plantation Wedding

My Big Sister - My Biggest Fan!
Today is the fifth year anniversary of my big sister's wedding! I just wanted to take a second to thank my sister and her husband Nick for all their love and support over the years. Elana was there with me in the beginning of my plans to be a big time wedding photographer. She supported my dreams and let me take lots of pictures of her to help build my portfolio. I can tell you that without a doubt, I'm no longer the same photographer that I was 5 years ago. A lot has changed. If I was getting married five years ago, I probably would have considered other options for my wedding photos other than Eli Murray photography, but not my big sis. I was completely under qualified and without experience, but she still trusted me and wanted me to be there to capture her special day. This was probably the most loving gift I could have received at that time in my life. After shooting her wedding, I gained so much courage and confidence to begin the next steps of my life. Like I said before, no doubt, I'm not the same photographer that I was 5 years ago. But that's my story. Happy Anniversary Nick and Elana! Here's to 50 more! Thanks for being my biggest fans! I love you both!
