Crystal Bridges Museum Wedding in Bentonville, Arkansas
Emily and Cal’s Crystal Bridges Museum wedding in Bentonville, Arkansas, was the perfect mix of modern elegance and emotional connection. Set in one of the most iconic venues in Northwest Arkansas, their day felt both intimate and timeless. As a frequent Bentonville wedding photographer, I love working in this space. The clean architecture, natural light, and surrounding landscape bring a great deal of depth to every moment captured.
Personal Touches and a Clear Vision Made the Day Shine
Emily brought a strong sense of vision to her wedding day, which shaped the experience beautifully, and the execution of that vision by wedding planner Anne Claire Allen and her team brought it all to life. Her mother later shared, “Emily had a pretty clear vision for what they wanted for their wedding, which made it easier to narrow down decisions. Surround yourself with a great team, which we did with Anne-Claire and Hope, yourself, and the vendors we used. Remember glitches will happen. Just keep your sense of humor, offer advice when asked, and don’t forget to smile for the camera.”
The vendor team worked together with ease, allowing Emily and Cal to stay present and enjoy each moment. You can find the full vendor list in my Instagram posts about their day. It is a helpful reference for anyone planning a wedding in Bentonville or the surrounding area.
Kind Words and Lasting Memories
As a photographer, I always aim to bring not just skill but a sense of calm and support to every wedding. After the weekend, Emily wrote, “Leslee you were such a light this past weekend and we are so thankful to have had a photographer and positive energy like you.” Messages like that are deeply meaningful and remind me why I love this work.

“”Five stars does not do Leslee Layton Films justice! Leslee conveys a calming presence, a pristine professionalism, and a joyful spirit. She helped with making sure the wedding festivities ran smoothly, and made sure to capture all of the most important parts of our special day. We could not imagine our wedding day without having her included. The piece of work she created for us is priceless, and it still brings us to tears each time we open it up. Leslee’s film is the perfect portrayal of our love. Words could never be enough to brag on this woman or to express our gratitude.” – Kassie
