WNOK Bridal Show Success!, by Columbia SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:02:25 +0000

Thank you to all the brides and grooms-to-be who stopped by my booth this past Sunday at the WNOK Bridal Showcase at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. The show was huge success with over 1200 people through the doors and over 450 brides registered. I always look forward to bridal shows, even though it’s a LOT of work getting ready for them, and my feet are always soooo tired after them! If you missed me, it’s not too late to get in on my bridal show specials. Post a comment with your e-mail address or send me an e-mail (patty@hallmanphoto.com) to receive package/pricing info along with the bridal show specials.

In memory of Lee Hinton

Patty — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:43:24 +0000

Last week I did something I hope I’ll never have to do again. I attended the funeral of one of my wedding clients. Lee Hinton passed away on December 18th, far too young and only 18 months after his wedding to beautiful bride, Dana Jackson. I’ll never forget photographing Lee and Dana’s wedding in May of 2010 at The Lace House on the Governor’s Grounds in Columbia. It was so hot and humid that day, but despite that Lee had the biggest smile of any groom I’ve ever seen. And I remember how sweet Lee and his parents were to me that day… it made such a lasting impression on me. I am still so sad about Lee’s passing and hope that my gift of a framed 16×20 canvas portrait of Lee that I brought to his memorial service will help Dana and the Hinton family remember how amazing Lee’s smile was each and every day. God bless you, Lee. You are missed by so many and I will always remember your smile.

The PPA (Professional Photographers of America) International Print Competition results for 2011 are in! I’m thrilled to announce that two of my print entries were accepted into the Loan Collection and the General Collection. They’ll be on display at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 15-17, 2012 during Imaging USA, PPA’s annual convention. Only the best of the best are selected for the esteemed Loan Collection, so I’m extra happy about that honor. “En Pointe” is the title of my image selected for the Loan Collection and it will be published in the 2011 Loan Collection book later this year.

"En Pointe"-- accepted in 2011 PPA Loan Collection.

“Bonded” is the title of the other image that made it into the General Collection, and I’m happy about that too!

Staci’s Boone Hall Plantation Bridal Portraits, by SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:49:58 +0000

Well, now that Staci is on her honeymoon it’s safe to post some of her bridal session images. We headed down to Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant a few weeks ago to photograph Staci’s bridals. It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind was blowing like crazy! There are so many great spots around Boone Hall that we didn’t have time to photograph Staci everywhere before closing time. Which do you think Staci picked for her bridal portrait?

It was the last image on the tree-lined driveway that ended up as her pick for a 16×20 canvas bridal portrait, but Staci had lots of favorites. Oh, by the way, Staci also did a bridal boudoir session a few days before her wedding. Stay tuned for a peek at those soon!

Real Estate Photos, by SC Commercial Photographer

Patty — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 23:07:03 +0000

I’ve been doing some work lately photographing homes for a wonderful realtor, Dana Browne, with Coldwell Banker Realty. If anyone in the Columbia area needs a realtor, she’s the one you want! Great photos are essential in selling homes especially when the MLS on-line listing is the number one way most people search for homes. I’d love to work with some other realtors, so if you’re a realtor and need great photos of your listings, call me!

Congratulations to Kristen and Freddie following their April 24, 2010 wedding in Nesmith, SC. Kristen and Freddie live in Largo, Maryland now, but are from South Carolina. Their friends and family from near and far gathered for their big day in the small community of Nesmith, near Hemingway and Lake City, SC. After a great ceremony, everyone headed to Cades, SC for a fabulous reception at Sunset Acres. The food was some of the best I ever had at a reception! Thank you Kristen and Freddie for letting us be part of your special day!
