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.

Well, it’s the beginning of a new year and that means it’s time to update my main web site, www.HallmanPhoto.com. So, after looking back at engagement sessions I shot in 2011, I decided to put some of those wonderful couples back on my blog… an encore, I guess. I’m heading upstate now for a great engagement session in downtown Greenville… can’t wait!

Shoshanna and Dontae’s Columbia, SC wedding & reception, by SC wedding photographer

On a chilly late October Saturday morning, we headed to the SC Statehouse for pre-ceremony photos for Shoshanna and Dontae’s wedding. I always LOVE photographing there, especially before weddings, so even though my fingers and toes were numb from the cold, I had a great time. We started off with a “first look” with Shoshanna and Dontae, which is always so sweet to photograph. After we wrapped up the pre-ceremony session, we headed to Seawell’s for the ceremony and reception. Kudos to wedding planner Shannon Baker Jones for doing an amazing job as always and being such a pleasure to work with. Shannon makes weddings and receptions look incredible and I’m always excited to photograph her weddings and events.

Here’s a sampling of Shoshanna and Dontae’s big day in photos. Click on any image below to see larger photos.

Audrae and Timmy’s Wedding in Rock Hill, SC, by SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:49:14 +0000

o.k.— I admit this one’s a little late, but better late than never! Aubrae and Timmy’s wedding took place in June near Rock Hill. My young photographer friend, Corey Potter, was Timmy’s best man, and I was honored to be asked to photograph the wedding & reception. It’s always fun working with Corey and Ashley Potter, and their friends are some of the sweetest and silliest people I know. Hope you enjoy seeing some of the images from this blessed day!

Aimee and Jesh’s Wedding at The Millstone at Adam’s Pond, by Columbia SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:14:34 +0000

Better late than never! I’ve been meaning to get a sampling of images from Aimee and Jesh’s wedding posted to the blog, but it took me a while to find the time to do it! First let me say, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE photographing weddings at The Millstone at Adam’s Pond, so was so thrilled to be there again this year. I’m thrilled too that I’m already booked for 3 weddings there in 2012 and hope to book more. Kristy Polk and all of the staff with Southern Way Catering at Adam’s Pond are fantastic to work with. They take care of their brides and grooms like nobody’s business!

Aimee and Jesh are a wonderful Christian couple who walk the walk in their faith. Jesh is in the Army and was able to arrange for a vintage military truck (“Hercules”) to be their getaway car. I hear that “Hercules” was actually part of the battle at Normandy… very cool.

We did the majority of the bride & groom and family photos before the ceremony, so it was great having lots of time to get fabulous images for Jesh and Aimee. I always am delighted when my wedding clients agree to do a “First Look” where the bride and groom see each other for photos before the ceremony.

So, here are a bunch of images from Jesh and Aimee’s wedding. Click on any thumbnail to see the larger images and enjoy!

I’m really behind on updating my blog with weddings, engagements and sessions over the past few months, so am trying to get at least of few images up every couple days.

Here’s a montage from Paige and Ryan’s recent wedding at Christ Chapel located at Columbia’s Lutheran Seminary, and their reception at The River Road and Jasmine House and Gardens near Lake Murray. Congrats, Paige and Ryan!

CeCe and Dwayne’s Engagement Session, by SC Engagement Photographer

Patty — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:45:12 +0000

I met with CeCe and Dwayne a few weeks ago for a Sunday afternoon engagement session at Horrell Hill Elementary School. This school hold’s a soft spot in their heart’s ….it’s where these two lovebirds met on the playground as kids. It took a while, but they crossed paths again during college and the rest is history! CeCe and Dwayne both played basketball on their highschool teams and wanted to recreate the movie poster from their favorite basketball lovestory, so we did that too. Sweet couple… can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year!

Jenn and Chris’ Wedding at Riverbanks Botanical Gardens, by Columbia SC Wedding Photographer

Patty — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:07:35 +0000

I always love going to Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens, especially to photograph a wedding, so it was great to be there photographing on September 23rd for Jenn and Chris’ wedding and reception. It was a rainy day, but we got lucky and the rain was over before things got started. I would have loved 3o more minutes of daylight to work with after the ceremony, but then again, that’s not a new wish for me! The Botanical Gardens are such a beautiful setting and the Riverbanks staff does an incredibly great job with weddings, receptions and events there. I highly recommend them!

Congratulations, Jenn and Chris!
