My photo
Welcome to my blog - where I can share my personal life and my photography! I am married to the most wonderful man and I have an amazing little boy who lights up my every moment. I have always loved taking pictures but over the past few years it has really become a more serious passion. I think one of the most fun things about taking someone's picture is being able to CAPTURE that particular moment in time so that it can be held onto forever! I prefer natural light, on location photography that allows people to just be themselves. If you are interested in contacting me regarding photography please send me an email to holly@simplycapturedphotographybyhollybenfield.com Oh yeah, and I'd love to hear what you think ... so feel free to leave comments at the end of my blog posts. God Bless!!

Mountain Wedding!

Victoria and Greg were married in an intimate ceremony in Blowing Rock. The day was dreary and extremely foggy but just minutes before guests began to arrive, the fog lifted and the sun peeked out from the clouds. The fall colors surrounding the ceremony site were perfect. Victoria looked gorgeous and seeing Greg's reaction to his bride walking down the aisle was priceless. The entire wedding was beautiful and heartfelt.

Victoria and Greg are just such a fun couple and I'm so happy for them. I pray God's blessings on their marriage! Here is a super long peek at their big day!!

Little A is Three!

Tonight was a great night ... the weather was perfect, the sunset was beautiful, and I got to see one of my favorite families. I started photographing this family when little A was just a few days new, and I feel so blessed to be able to capture them each year! I look at the images I captured tonight and I remember the joys of being a carefree little girl ... of twirling and dancing ... the excitement of a birthday. I loved watching A run around the field, twirl her dress, get excited when we talked about her party, and ham it up for the camera!! I was also so glad to see baby C and how much he has grown since his newborn session ... He is such a cutie!!

I had a wonderful time with you guys tonight. Thank you for choosing me and trusting me to capture your family yet again!! Here is your sneak peek!! I hope you love them :)
