Hey there.
I'm really happy you're here.
Photographing love is my calling.
Let me tell your love story.
About Benfield Photography
modern, fine art wedding photography for the discerning bride
I started photographing my friends and family as a way to pay for college (#relatable). What started as a hobby become my passion and now I can't imagine a life where a camera isn't in my hands. That was more than a decade ago and I still wake up giddy on "wedding morning."
Every wedding is unique. Your wedding is unique. Your story is unique. You should pick me to tell it. (I'm really good at it, and you'll love having me by your side on the wedding day).
Photographing love is my calling.
Let me tell your love story.
My style is a blend of storytelling and modern portraits.
If you love photography that captures special moments, I got you.
If you love looking and feeling your best on your wedding day, I got you.
If you love timeless portraits that
you'll look back on in 5, 10, and 20 years and want to remember the love
you felt, I got you.
Telling stories with my camera is what I was put on this Earth to do. I live, breathe, and love weddings, and find the uniqueness and beauty in each and every wedding I photograph.
I've been photographing weddings in Northwest Arkansas, the US, and worldwide for more than a decade. The best job in the world is one where it comes naturally and doesn't feel like work. Because of my incredible couples, I feel like I have yet to work a single day, and show up every wedding inspired and ready to tell your love story.
I can't wait to chat with you about your wedding!

proud to call Arkansas home
available for travel
I have been a wedding photography in Northwest Arkansas for more than ten years. I've photographed some of the most beautiful NWA wedding venues, including Crystal Bridges, Osage House, Mildred B Cooper Chapel, St. Catherine's at Bell Gables, The Ravington, Inn at Carnall Hall, and more. I know each and every venue very well, and if you're getting married at a new location, I love being inspired by different settings. Let's talk asap about your wedding in Northwest Arkansas.
If you are having a destination wedding or elopement, I would love to travel to your faraway wedding location. I've photographed weddings all over the world. Frequently, I shoot in Mexico (I've photographed multiple weddings at Excellence Playa Mujeres, Secrets, El Dorado resorts, and others). If beach weddings aren't your thing, I also have photographed in Paris, France, all across Italy, and others. I have a passport, a Covid Vaccination, and I'm ready to head to your perfect wedding venue.

Dale is an incredibly gifted photographer, but much more than that, he treats you like family. He is dedicated to creating lifelong memories for his clients, and getting the best shots, best angles, and best lighting possible. He also brings a friendly and upbeat attitude to everything he does. Dale will always be sure to gently direct you so you’ll never feel awkward behind the camera. I am so grateful for Dale and the kind, talented person he is!

I was instantly mesmerized by Dale's work and knew I wanted to work with him someday. Fast forward to my NYE wedding and teenage me couldn't have been more right... I am still so mesmerized by! Dale and Tyler were a dream to work with. Dale arrived early, stayed late, snapped what I call "the money shot" and got every insignificant and deeply meaningful memory in between. We're obsessed with our wedding photos and truly enjoyed having Dale and Tyler by our side on the best day of our lives. You can't go wrong with Benfield Photography, brides!

Dale is a true professional and knows his stuff! On wedding day he was extremely efficient getting all of the shots he needed and we were done with group/family photos post-ceremony in no time!
We love the images he captured- there's a very glamorous, romantic quality to his style- and we got all our photos within 1 week of the wedding!! We can't say enough good things about Dale!

They say the perfect gift for any occasion is a gift that keeps on giving. My biggest piece of advice for all brides-to-be is to remember that flowers die, cakes get eaten, decorations come down, candles burn out, but the memories are FOREVER. The only way to capture those candles, shoes, décor, wedding cakes and flowers are with photographs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to give the gift of memories.
