Benfield Photography

ith her now-husband, her engagement to him, and during her wedding week, Dale was always aiming to capture my sister, her husband, and our families in our most intimate and authentic moments. When I look back on our wedding pictures, I don't just see professional, high-quality photos—I also see the unique touch and authenticity of someone who cares deeply about celebrating love. I am confident that Dale brings this level of service and compassion to all of his clients, as he is one of the most sought-after wedding photographers in the entire state of Arkansas and is now traveling across the country to photograph weddings and engagements. Even though the wedding was taking place in Alaska, Dale already knew the best places to take photographs, how to time the lighting just right (which was necessary as Alaska summer sunrises and sunsets are at strange hours!), and how to think quickly while also getting the job done right. He had clearly done his research before coming, which demonstrates his years of experience and commitment to giving the best service. Dale takes a lot of initiative to ensure proper communication with other vendors and to check-in with his clients. He was very respectful of our family's American-Pakistani style wedding and customs; I greatly appreciated that he always made sure to ask me questions if he wasn't sure about any particular ritual or custom. He seemed excited to learn from us and was a great listener. In Pakistani-style, the wedding comprised of multiple events over the course of three days, and Dale brought his A-game throughout all of it (don't worry, he got to have a little bit of fun dancing with the aunties and uncles too!). One special moment that I will never forget is that after messing up and buying a Barbie for the flower girl, and later learning at the last minute that she doesn't actually like Barbies at all, Dale and his wife immediately offered to pick out a new present at the store. It was another example of Dale's initiative to always communicate and make sure nothing was getting in the way of us enjoying the wedding as much as possible. I'm certain that if you choose Dale to photograph your wedding, engagement, bridal portraits, or other events, you will be highly satisfied by his generosity. And, you'll make an awesome friend in the process!

nd we were done with group/family photos post-ceremony in no time! Dale also didn't need to take a bunch of unnecessary pictures to get the shots we wanted- one or two clicks and he was ready to keep moving. 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!

ng party! Would work with Dale again for sure! And btw, all his pictures are priceless!!! Thanks for capturing her special day in such a special way!

f his work. Thank you!

only hope I have the privilege to work with him again in the future!

and shared our excitement down to every last detail (even those that had nothing to do with photography!). When it came time to do engagement pictures, he exceeded every expectation! My absolute favorite part about Dale so far: he asked me to send him every outfit we would be wearing in pictures. Then, he sat on it for a few days while he decided the perfect locations to go with our styles. And when the pictures came back... WOW! My fiancé and I were crazy happy with how they turned out and couldn’t possibly pick a favorite. The wedding isn’t for another 2 months, but I have no doubt he will exceed anything we could imagine!

experience.

os - which were absolutely BREATH-TAKING! We had such a fun afternoon together that day. Dale also shot my Bridal portraits - and I can't express how much fun that shoot was! Dale has a gift - truly capturing precious moments and making you feel so confident and beautiful! Fast forward to our wedding day - Dale and Tyler got every shot to the tiniest detail. It was truly amazing! Their fun loving personalities make them so fun to be around and never once did I feel awkward with a camera around all day. I couldn't dream of anyone else capturing this special season in our lives. We are so blessed for the wonderful photos that we will always treasure! If I could sum up Benfield Photography in one word, it would be PERFECTION!

graphy images. I was instantly mesmerized by Dale's work and knew I wanted to work with him someday. Fast forward to my NYE wedding in 2018 and teenage me couldn't have been more right... now this time I get to be in the pictures that I am still so mesmerized by! Dale and his fiancee Tyler were a dream to work with. Leading up to the wedding, Dale was super responsive -- even on an international vacation... like c'mon... that's commitment! On the day of the wedding, Dale arrived early, stayed late, snapped what I call "the money shot" and got every insignificant and deeply meaningful memory in between. We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and truly enjoyed having Dale and Tyler by our side on the best day of our lives. It was like hanging out with friends who are REALLY good photographers ;) You can't go wrong with Benfield Photography, brides!

uch a fun weekend and so glad to have great pictures to show for it.

ough the celebratory chaos all while capturing the candid moments you never knew were happening. An amazing photographer, and an even better friend. Thank you, Dale!!

and were never invasive or in the way, but somehow they got shots from every view point! We still love our photos and are thankful we can reminisce on the day through them. Dale is thoughtful, professional and most of all FUN. I really appreciate his laid back demeanor while he still is attentive and gets the job done. I had many guests comment on how they felt like Dale was just another guest at the wedding which is pretty impressive as he was on the job. Thank you, Dale! I would highly recommend Benfield Photography to any bride. I am still pleased almost a year later!

bridals, and wedding pics, and Dale was always on board and exceeded my expectations! We are in love with how everything turned out and would highly recommend him to anyone!

e highly recommend him for your wedding or special occasion. Cheers Cheryl

fun! We love his style, and is super easy to communicate with! Five out of five! We Love Dale!

orked so well with our family, guests and all the vendors. As a mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the day knowing Dale had everything under control. I HIGLY recommend Dale Benfield!❤️

e loved! He is also so fun to be around, so we had a great time exploring Atlanta that day! He and Tyler were also fabulous at our wedding! We are so happy that we had them with us the entire day as they did not miss anything and so beautifully captured all of the special moments. My family kept going on and on about how fun he was to be around and how he and Tyler were seamlessly a PART of our celebration all the while taking the best photos! While on our honeymoon, my now husband actually said--"Man, I wish Dale was here with us to take pics of all the cool stuff we are doing!" hahaha! Dale Benfield photography is highly recommended and we hope to work with him again in the future! : )

im and so glad that we got to have him apart of our wedding! We couldn't be more pleased with him and all of the memories he captured for us!

dinner-he truly felt like family!

how them off at our wedding as well as hang them up in our home!

e. We love all of his work from in home sessions to travel. He is professional, fun and truly enjoys what he does which is so important in our line of work! -The Ballroom at I Street

easy to tell he absolutely loves what he does! I highly recommend him!

ity to our wedding even though we had never met. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

, I used Dale as well. He's got a great eye and a quick turnaround time, and he's a great human. I like him so much, in fact, that I'm marrying him :) but now I have to find a different wedding photographer, which is the only bummer.

earth. He traveled to Chicago for the engagement pictures and our wedding. Because a bridal session is not typical in the North, he was willing to exchange the time for our rehearsal dinner. His work speaks for itself and we hope we get another change to work with him in the future when we start a family.

g shots we have will be so important to us for the rest of our lives. If your looking for a great photographer who really knows his trade, this is your guy! Don't even think twice!
