Eli Murray

Eli started his professional career in television as a commercial producer. He had several responsibilities, including writing, shooting, editing, and production. Photography of weddings began as a hobby and quickly turned into a passion.Eli decided to leave the corporate world to pursue the art of wedding photography.

After successfully growing the business in Arkansas, Eli expanded into the West Coast market and relocated to Southern California for a few years. He had the opportunity to photograph a variety of weddings, from large extravagant coastal ceremonies to smaller intimate elopements. After the birth of their first child, Eli and Leslie decided to move back to the South to be closer to family and raise their children.

WEDDING ADVICE:
I'm no expert, but after 13 years of marriage to my wife, I can tell you that marriage is an incredible blessing but also a big responsibility. You will have ups and downs, but if you keep God in the center, always remember to be kind to each other, and support each other, then your marriage will be filled to overflowing. - Eli

Eli and his lovely wife Leslie are two people who you can't help but love! From the beginning of the process, Eli was very helpful when we were deciding what package to go with. Eli treated my fiancé and I as if we were dear friends that he truly cared about. When the wedding weekend finally came we felt as if Eli and his wife were already friends of ours. They were extremely professional and all of our guests and family members couldn't say enough about the two of them. They were such a joy to have around on our wedding day. It was a complete joy to work with them! We were just as pleased when it was time to view our pictures! The images were beyond what we imagined! Absolutely amazing! We highly recommend Eli and his wife!

My husband I absolutely LOVED having Eli and Leslie as our wedding photographers. My husband is in the military, so I had to choose all of our wedding vendors myself. It was difficult to choose most of our vendors without my husband's input, but choosing Eli and Leslie was not difficult for me at all. When the big day finally arrived they made my husband and me feel very relaxed throughout the whole day. I can't even describe how wonderful it was to not worry about our photographers on the big day. They were in the background, yet everywhere at the same time capturing all of our special moments throughout the day. They were even kind enough to stick around and go with us to the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point after the wedding and take pictures of just the two of us while the sun was setting. I HIGHLY recommend Eli Murray Photography to any bride and groom-to-be. Eli and his wife are kind, professional and super fun to be around. I have seen a few "teasers" so far and cannot wait to see all of our edited photos! I am 100% confident that they are going to be absolutely stunning. Thanks Eli and Leslie!!

Eli was so wonderful and did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer! Both he and Leslie were a pleasure to work with. Eli in particular was brimming with energy and enthusiasm. On both the engagement shoot and the day of the wedding, he would search out perfect photo spots and guide us with poses if we seemed dazed. He would also spontaneously choose a new spot as we moved from one location to another if he was drawn by something striking that caught his eye. His love for the profession was clear in the way he tirelessly worked to find the best shots. We chose Eli because of his ability to capture natural outdoor shots that look timeless and classic. We were absolutely thrilled with the photos when we saw them! And we got the wedding photos back within 2 weeks! Amazing!
