Patty — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:48:05 +0000

We started our coverage of Heather and Darren’s wedding at Flo salon where Heather and her bridesmaids were getting hair and makeup done. Nothing like a little pampering to get your wedding day started! Then, it was on to one of my favorite wedding venues in SC, The Millstone at Adam’s Pond for an awesome day of photos, vows, more photos, and partying down!

Here’s a sampling of the images from Heather and Darren’s big day…

Katelyn and Allan’s Engagement Session on the Farm, by SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:25:48 +0000

When Katelyn booked her wedding and told me that she wanted me to do her engagement session at her fiancé’s family farm in Lexington, I could hardly wait. I love farms… always have, always will! So, I met them at the Smith family farm last week and got some great images of Katelyn and Allan. They are such a sweet couple and I had a lot of fun photographing them. Here are some of my picks to share…

Mandy and Chad’s Rainy Anniversary Session, by SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:52:52 +0000

Things don’t always go according to plan. That’s what happened when Mandy and Chad got married ten years ago. It rained and ruined their plans for outdoor photos on their wedding day. Ten years passed by and six children arrived over that time for Mandy and Chad, and it was time to get those outdoor wedding photos finally. So, Mandy got the dress out of storage and Chad got a new suit. We set the date and time for their anniversary portrait session, and the day arrived, and guess what happened? Yep…. it rained, and rained, and rained! But that didn’t stop us from making it a memorable experience and an opportunity to get some great images! Sure, we all got a little damp and my hair frizzed like crazy, but it was well worth it.

Here are a few of my favorites…

2012 PPSC Print Competition Results, by SC Portrait and Wedding Photographer

Patty — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:39:54 +0000

Well, this time last Saturday I was a nervous wreck as our annual PPSC (Professional Photographers of South Carolina) Print Competition was about to start. It’s a love-hate relationship for me with print competition. I love creating the images and albums for competition, but I hate listening to the judges criticize them, especially if the scores aren’t where I feel they should be. In print competition, a score of 80 or higher earns the photographer a merit. Merits are accumulated to earn state (PPSC) or national (PPA) photography degrees, which can mean little or a lot depending on how you look at it. To me, they mean a lot! I look at it like climbing a ladder. Some are happy to stay where they’re at, and others want to continue climbing to new levels. Entering print competition pushes photographers to new heights, so I continue climbing that ladder.

I came home pretty happy from our state convention this week with a dozen awards from the print competition.

Here’s the rundown of my merit earning entries and the awards won by each…

“Run for the Hills”- Best of Show/ Highest Scoring Entry (92) / CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) Award / Fuji Masterpiece Award / Best of Portraits / 1st Place, Pets & Animals

…………………………

“Let’s Roll”- Best Black and White / Distinguished Award, Men’s Portraits

………………………..

“Prelude”- Distinguished Award, Women’s Portraits

…………………………

“Christina and James” wedding album- Fuji Masterpiece Award / First Place, Wedding Albums

…………………………

“Suzie & Michael”- Second Place, wedding albums

I finished second place overall, just behind my good friend and amazingly talented photographer, Tammy Bevins. There’s no one else I’d be happy to get beat by than Tammy. But just wait until next year… I’ve got my sights set on finishing first!

Talking horses and equine art, by SC Equine Photographer

Patty — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:10:23 +0000

Despite it being a yucky, rainy day, I had a great time presenting a program on Equine (Horse) Photography to about 100 people in Columbia at the State Fairgrounds today. I was so excited when I got the request to do the program a few weeks ago! I got to meet some great folks and was even asked to come photograph at a couple of horse farms in the area. Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE photographing people, especially my brides and grooms, but give me the chance to photograph horses, and I’m giddy. Put a bride on a horse, give me my camera and I’m in heaven!!

Here’s a little of my work that I showed and talked about today…
