Hallman Photography, SC Wedding Photographer, Featured in Carolina Bride Magazine

Patty — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:05:48 +0000

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.

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.

Amy and Reid’s Wedding

Congratulations to Amy and Reid following their April 30th wedding at Grace Baptist Church in West Columbia.

It was a pleasure working with Amy and Reid, and their wedding director, Robin Cannon. The reception was held at Springdale House and Gardens, where everything was perfect as usual. Great food, great music and great folks!

Shoot Out… digital style.

I was asked to be one three featured photographers to participate in a “Shoot Out” this week for Professional Photographers of South Carolina. At first, I was hesitant to do it because I hate photographing when other professional photographers are watching. I’m always worrying that they’ll think, “what the heck is she doing?”! But I accepted the invitation and headed down to Mt. Pleasant Tuesday afternoon for the shoot out. Glad I did. It was great fun and quite a challenge at the same time. Each photographer was given 5 minutes to photograph our models, Whit and Cassie, outside The Red Roof Inn, then inside. The purpose of the exercise, was to see how each photographer handled the challenge of shooting in a less than picture perfect environment, with the pressures of little time and lots of eyes watching. Oh, by the way, each photographer was not allowed to watch the other photographers shoot. Didn’t want to give away any good ideas, to keep it as challenging for each of us. After we finished photographing, we then headed to Cindy Cantore’s studio to quickly edit our images and present a slideshow to the gathered photographers. I think I did a pretty good job. Here are a few of my images from the shoot out, so let me know what you think…

2009 has been a wonderfully busy year for me with weddings, and 2010 looks to be even busier as my calendar

Christmas Time is Coming!

It doesn’t really feel like it to me yet, but Christmas time is coming! I did get on the ball with ordering cards to send out to my clients and business associates.

Here’s what the card looks like…

Hopefully, getting a card with my face on it won’t scare anyone!
