Dale & Meredith,

After 13 hour flight from Dubai to NYC we returned from our honeymoon this evening, ordered dinner online via Seamless Web and I go into my email to check for the dinner confirmation and I see two blog posts from Benfield and decide to open them and I was blown away! Jonathan and I are both SPEECHLESS!!!!!!! We'd been checking our email and stalking your blog from the Maldives and Sultante of Oman but didn't really have time to check email in Dubai so we had no idea the last two blog posts were our wedding--what a great way to come home!! The photos are gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Not only did you capture our wedding perfectly-you also made it look like a dream come true! Everything looks amazing and the inside of the barn looks like it is glowing! Since 90% percent of our guests were visiting the Great State of Arkansas for the first time I really wanted them to love my home sweet Arkansas as much as I do and I can safely say all of our friends had a wonderful time and fell in love with Fayetteville, Pratt Place Barn, and the Razorbacks!

It was a complete pleasure working with both of you. You are both so incredibly sweet, professional, and naturally talented! You both have a very special gift for capturing such special life moments exactly as they happen. We are so fortunate we were able to work with you. Thank you a million times over!!!

Shiloh and Jonathan

One of the most pinned dresses on all of Pinterest, Chelsea's Vera Wang is gorgeous. She has amazing style! Check out her couture bridal session here.

Dale loves helping other photographers - here's his most recent e-book, 5 Minute Fix: step up your photo/business in 5 minutes a day.

Kady and Tyler's to-die-for engagement portraits are on the blog here.

Signe and Chad had such a dream rustic vintage wedding in Austin, TX.

Benfield Photography started in 1998 and quickly became one of the most sought after studios in the area.  After moving the business to Arkansas in 2006 (because Dale fell hopelessly in love with Meredith and hated being so far away from her), Meredith joined Dale as a full-time wedding photographer.

We describe our images as timeless, storytelling, with amazing portraits.  We work hard to capture all the little details of your wedding day, while also collecting all the special moments that you'll want to hold on to, and shooting great wedding portraits of the bride and groom. We pride ourselves in being able to shoot these no matter where in the world you're getting married, as we work in all types of lighting situations, and also take into account your wedding style. We're able to capture your wedding day whether it be a vintage wedding, rustic wedding, modern wedding, green wedding, etc.

Aside from weddings, we also take on other jobs.  To step out from Dale's shadow, Mere started her own branch of Benfield Photography, specializing in classy and beautiful boudoir images, affectionately called Secret Sessions, while still photographing weddings with Dale.  She's also our Photoshop Queen Bee.

In 2007, Lauren and Jessica joined the team who also shoot weddings for Benfield Photography.

Lastly, Stephanie is our fabulous office manager and handles scheduling, assists at shoots, runs the Benny Booth, designs our engagement websites and wedding albums, and does all the behind-the-scenes stuff  you'll never see, (but help us run super smoothly)!

We love being out there and transparent so you can get to know us!  Feel free to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook!
