After a 2 month break to recover from shoulder surgery, it was wonderful to get back to work photographing the wedding of Dennise and Mitchell in Leesville, SC. Everything went wonderfully, except the intense humidity and thunderstorms that hit just as the ceremony started. But, we all survived and the power stayed on… thank goodness! After post-ceremony photos at Oak Grove Baptist Church, we headed to T & S Farms near Leesville for a great reception with lots of dancing and food. Congrats, Dennise and Mitchell!










Dennise and Mitchell’s Wedding in Leesville, SC
Hallman Photography, SC Wedding Photographer, Featured in Carolina Bride Magazine
I was very happy when I got an e-mail from the editor at Carolina Bride Magazine saying they’d like to do a feature story on two of my recent weddings. Check out the latest issue of Carolina Bride, Summer/Fall 2010 issue, to see the feature story on sisters, DeAnna and Ashley Lewis’ weddings.
I photographed DeAnna’s wedding in December 2009 and Ashley’s wedding in May 2010. The whole Lewis family is wonderful to work with, and I look forward to photographing the youngest Lewis daughter’s wedding someday. Her dad says it won’t be any time soon!
Anne-Kathryn Flanagan did a wonderful job interviewing the sisters and writing the story. And of course, the story features lots of images shot by me during the weddings. Flip to the middle of the magazine to see the wedding album section that includes several more images courtesy Hallman Photography.
Jennifer and Dustin’s Engagement Session
I’m really looking forward to photographing Jennifer and Dustin’s wedding next April in Sumter. Jennifer’s sister Vanessa is one of my favorite brides from a couple years ago, so it was so good to hear that Jenn wanted me to photograph her wedding to Dustin next year. I got together recently with Jennifer, Dustin and their little dog Julio for a 50’s style engagement session in Camden.
Here are a few of my favorites…
Suzie and Michael’s Wedding at The Millstone at Adam’s Pond
You can’t go wrong with a wedding or reception at The Millstone at Adam’s Pond, so I was so excited when I met Suzie and Michael and booked their May 28th wedding a few months ago. This is one of my top picks for locations and for caterers, Southern Way Catering. The location at Adam’s Pond is beautiful with rustic elegance, and the Southern Way staff and food can’t be beat. Here are some previews from Suzie and Michael’s wedding day and evening…
Dean, The Biker
I had a great time this week photographing Dean and his custom built motorcycle. Dean’s a paramedic in Easley, SC , and has his own side business building custom motorcycles, called “Blackwatch Choppers”. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session…
Blair and Austin’s Big Day
Had a wonderful time photographing Blair and Austin’s wedding and reception last Saturday. These two are so sweet and have wonderful families too.
I absolutely love Blair’s dress, and she’s got the perfect shape for it. What a gorgeous bride, not to mention a handsome groom! Even though it was a bit hot, the reception at the Greek Orthodox Church’s facility was great. Can’t beat Greek food, especially Baklava for dessert!
Here are a few of my picks to preview…
Dana and Lee’s Wedding
Congratulations to Dana and Lee following their beautiful May 15th wedding at the Lace House at the SC Governor’s Mansion complex in Columbia. Everything was absolutely perfect, except for the high humidity that day. Thick enough to cut with a knife! Despite that, everyone in attendance had a fabulous time, especially the bride and groom. Big thank you to wedding planner, Leslie Ellison, for making sure everything was picture perfect! Here are a few sneak previews of Dana and Lee’s big day…
Anfel and JaQuest’s Wedding
It’s been a very busy May, so I haven’t had much time for blogging. I know Anfel and JaQuest would like to see a few images from their recent wedding, so here are just a few teasers for them and for you!
Babies, Babies, Babies!
Getting ready for the second annual Palmetto Health “Oh Baby” event this Sunday, May 16th, so thought I’d post a few recent baby images.
I’m looking forward to meeting new parents and parents-to-be and hope to see lots of them in my studio over the coming months and years.
Ashley and John’s Wedding
Congrats to Ashley and John! I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding at St. John Baptist Church in Columbia and reception at the Columbia Museum of Art on May 1st. It felt a little like “DejaVu” since I had just photographed Ashley’s sister, DeAnna’s wedding at St. John’s in December. Love this family… they’re so nice and great to work with! Here are a few of my favorite images of Ashley and John that I wanted to share on my blog…
