Benny Brides Tell All: Maeve!

Dale and Mere are such amazing photographers! They captured so many sweet and precious moments at our wedding. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be this one of Taylor and I! Everytime I look at this picture it makes me smile. It captures the all of the joy and excitement we felt on our wedding day! We had waited so long for this day to come, and we both felt like it was kind of a fairy tale while taking these pictures together. All else aside, I can't help but love my husband's cute dimples in this pic!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1130_maeve/arkansas_wedding_photography_002.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/1130_maeve/arkansas_wedding_photography_002.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><br />~Maeve

Benny Brides Tell All: Christy!

Those of you who know me, know I kinda have a thing for shoes. So, of course, they were an important detail to me on my wedding day. Kurt is a very laid back guy and I knew he would hate formal shoes, so we decided to go with Converse for the guys. I had been dying for a pair of Christian Louboutins, so what better day to wear them than my wedding day! But I figured there would be no way I could last all night in them so I also got some yellow converse. I'm telling you all this as the backstory of how my favorite image of the night (and possibly ever) came to be. Since I knew at some point I would be changing into the Converse, I wanted to do two mini portrait sessions, One right after the ceremony in my Loubs and the other we snuck out of the reception for a while in my Converse.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/christy_kurt.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/christy_kurt.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><br />I love this image because it captures the day so perfectly. It is the perfect mix of the timeless portrait and the fun candid shot. It reminds me of the beautiful setting, how happy we are to be husband and wife, how much we love each other and how absolutely perfect the day was. I can't help but smile every time I look at this picture. It sums up the best day of my life! I still don't feel like I can thank Dale and Mere enough for their amazing talent and for pictures I will cherish for the rest of my life! <br /><br />~Christy

Benny Brides Tell All: Lindsey!

First, off it goes without saying how much I love Dale and Meredith...SO when they asked me to be a guest blogger I naturally jumped at the opportunity! I don't have to tell you guys how amazing their work is because clearly it speaks for itself but their quirky personalities and fun sense of humor is the shimmery icing on the wedding cake. I could not have asked for better people to photograph our wedding, engagements, and bridals! <br /><br />My favorite portrait from my bridal session was taken on Times Square in New York City and if you know me you know how much I love NYC! Every time I see this picture it literally makes my heart happy because I feel like they captured the essence of my personality and style...very Carrie Bradshaw if I must say so myself! It was a dream come true to take my bridals in the best city in the world with the best photographers. This is a memory I'll remember always. <br /><br /><a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=458a706325&view=att&th=136a75dd3ee6559d&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=458a706325&view=att&th=136a75dd3ee6559d&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 427px; height: 640px;" /></a><br /><br />~Lindsey

Benny Brides Tell All: Hillary!

Wow! It was very hard for me to narrow down my favorite picture from our wedding day. Dale and Meredith did such an amazing job of capturing every single moment from our day. BUT if I had to pick one, I would say my favorite image would have to be Steven and I walking down the aisle immediately after we exchanged our vows. I believe Mere shot this from our church balcony and it makes my heart melt every time I look at it. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/guestblogs/hillary_fave.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/guestblogs/hillary_fave.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><br />Not only is it an amazing picture (all props to Mere), but I think it really embodies our relationship and how truly happy we are together. I also love it because it is not posed and we had no idea the picture was even being taken. Dale and Meredith have such a talent of capturing sweet moments throughout the day. When looking back at all of the images from our wedding day, it is almost like we are reliving the entire experience. <br /><br />~Hillary

Benny Brides Tell All: Shiloh!

Hey everybody!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Meredith and I are in the Dominican Republic this week shooting some cool stuff (can't wait to show you!), and since I'm a planner-aheader, I enlisted some fabulous Benny Brides to help keep the blog streak alive amidst my spotty internet. I'm having guest bloggers who are previous Benfield brides share their favorite wedding image and tell us why. Fun! I hope you enjoy!</span><br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /><br /><br />I think it is fair to say that if you are a Benfield Bride & Groom it is nearly impossible to select your favorite wedding photo. Jonathan and I love every single photo from our wedding day, but if we have to choose just one image, it would be this one...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/guestblogs/shiloh_pratt_place_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/guestblogs/shiloh_pratt_place_1.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><br />This photo was taken just after our ceremony. We had a few minutes alone to see the inside of Pratt Place (finally!!) before the reception and we were absolutely blown away. It was incredible. The photo captures every word that we would use to describe our wedding day: gorgeous, rustic, elegant and southern. And, the lighting is amazing. Everything is glowing!!! Love it.<br /><br />~Shiloh

Power of a Picture

Hey everybody!<br /><br />I received a touching email from a recent bride and I really wanted to share it with y'all. It reminded me that while Meredith and I love our ability to capture fun and fab portraits, it's the MOMENTS of a wedding that tell the story. (Luckily, we're pretty good at that too)<br /><br />From Shelly:<br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">My family too has been thru a difficult time in the weeks following the wedding. My grandmother had not been feeling well in the days leading up to the wedding but fortunately was able to power through that day..... until that evening. When she got home from the reception that night she fell and since then has been hospitalized for several days and though now is home needs round the clock care. As a family we have all stepped in. She is getting better slowly but it has been a slow process.<br /><br />I say all of this to tell you that one of my favorite pics isn't the most impressive but the sweet one where she sees me for the first time and she looks so happy and sooooo beautiful. So thank you for TRULY CAPTURING A MOMENT! For that I say God Bless you and your talent. You both are truly doing what God has called you to do.</span>"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/shelly_moment.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/shelly_moment.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 533px; width: 800px;" /></a><br /><br />The people we love are here for a limited time.
