Chelsea & John * Bentonville Wedding Reception

Chelsea and John were married at a small ceremony during a trip to Hawaii in May, and celebrated back in Northwest Arkansas with a reception at 21C in Bentonville a few weeks later. Chelsea worked with her planners to create a dreamy Disney themed party- every table was brought to life with items from a Disney movie. Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and more were represented, which transformed the space into a magic fairytale. It was unlike any reception I had ever photographed- and their vision came together in the most sunning way. The castle from Cinderella was illuminated onto the dance floor, pixie dust adorned the tables, and the most stunning flower arrangements gave life and elegance to the room.

Chelsea, John and I headed over to Crystal Bridges for their portraits, and I just love the way the architecture provides a clean, linear backdrop for this lovely bride and groom. We met back up with their bridal party and used the grounds surrounding the 21C hotel for our bridal party portraits. This was such a beautiful day and way to celebrate this couple- their friends and family danced and partied late into the night with music from Brock Entertainment. Here is a little glimpse into this amazing wedding reception:
