Rehearsal Dinner Before the Sassafras Springs Vineyard Wedding

Carly and Payton’s Sassafras Springs Vineyard wedding in Springdale, Arkansas began with an intimate rehearsal dinner and welcome party at The Garden Room in Fayetteville.

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they gathered for a candlelit seated dinner adorned with soft blue hydrangeas and white roses. Carly’s matron of honor and Payton’s best man offered heartfelt toasts as the evening unfolded.

As the celebration transitioned into a joyful welcome party, more guests arrived to kick off the wedding weekend.

Carly glowed in her rehearsal dinner dress, made even more meaningful by the bow from her mother’s original wedding gown. It was a personal detail that made the night feel especially significant.

Carly and Payton’s wedding was everything an early spring celebration should be. The skies were a clear blue, and the air felt fresh with new beginnings. Bright florals hinted at the promise of the season ahead.

Yet what made their wedding day truly special wasn’t just the beauty surrounding them. It was the story that led them there.

Before Carly was born, her parents enrolled in a Lamaze class. There, they met two other couples who would become lifelong friends.

Carly grew up alongside the daughter of one of those couples. That childhood friend now stood beside her as maid of honor. Their friendship had spanned decades.

Meanwhile, Payton happened to be best friends with that same best friend’s brother. Weekends and summers were spent in the same home. Their lives overlapped long before either of them understood what it would mean.

Though Carly wasn’t initially aware, Payton quietly admired her for years. What began as childhood proximity eventually became friendship — and, in time, love.

Kind Words from Carly and Payton

“Our day was everything we dreamed of and more. A majority of that was because of Cameron and Elizabeth’s work.

Photography was at the top of my priority list throughout the wedding planning process. When I came across Cam and Elizabeth’s work, I knew they were the ones I wanted to capture our big day.

What stood out most was their focus on creating and cultivating a genuine relationship with us from the beginning. Because of that, we felt encouraged, loved, and cared for the entire time.”
