Searcy Wedding Details of Maeve and Taylor

8:23 PM 0

Hey everybody!<br /><br />I absolutely ADORE Maeve and Taylor, and their Searcy wedding is one I've been looking forward to for months!  Not only are they super gorgeous, they have such great style and personalities; they're definitely a joy to be around!<br /><br />Their purple and green wedding was really beautiful, and Searcy was about as charming of a town I've ever shot in!  Below are some of my favorite details.  My absolute favorite unique thing about their reception was that they treated their guests to a coffee bar!  I didn't have any because I was too busy shooting, but this is one of the coolest ideas for a special treat I've seen.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_001.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="photography of wedding details in searcy arkansas" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_001.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br />I mean, c'mon... how fabulous is this???<br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_002.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="photography of wedding details in searcy arkansas" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_002.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_003.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="photography of wedding details in searcy arkansas" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_003.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_004.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="photography of wedding details in searcy arkansas" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_004.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_005.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="photography of wedding details in searcy arkansas" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1127_maeve/searcy_arkansas_wedding_photographer_005.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br />Tomorrow's post will be more from this fabulous wedding!<br /><br />Talk to you soon,<br />Dale<br /><br /><div id="fb-root"></div><br /><script>(function(d, s, id) {<br />  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br />  if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br />  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br />  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";<br />  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br />}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><br /><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://benfieldphotography.blogspot.com/2011/11/searcy-wedding-details-of-maeve-and.html" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div><br /><div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://benfieldphotography.blogspot.com/2011/11/searcy-wedding-details-of-maeve-and.html" data-num-posts="5" data-width="820"></div>

5:29 PM 0

Hey everybody!<br /><br /><div>I don't know how Sherri did it.  For most of the past year, Ryan was thousands of miles away serving our country.  But their perseverance paid off on Saturday when they were married at Chapel at the Creeks and had their reception at the UARK Bowl on Dickson in Fayetteville.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh yeah... and Sherri lives in Texas! It's not easy to plan a wedding when you're states away!  Luckily, she was able to work with some fabulous NW Arkansas vendors, and some of our favorites!</div><div><br /></div><div>Our friend Jessica Kersey from <a href="http://finishingtoucheventdesign.blogspot.com/">Finishing Touch Event Design</a> (check her blog soon for more images!) helped make the dream a reality with<br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1017_sherri/purple_red_wedding_001.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1017_sherri/purple_red_wedding_001.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 800px;" /></a><br />The macaroons above and the cake below are from our favorite cake making superstar, Jennifer at <a href="http://shelbylynnscakeshoppe.com">Shelby Lynn's Cake Shoppe</a>.
