Hallie Sigwing Photography

ow to navigate our day best to capture what mattered to us. On the actual wedding day, she was a stable, calm, joyful presence who let us be who we are. Nothing felt forced, unnatural, or stressful. She expertly navigates the role of quiet observer to let moments happen and kind leader when it’s time to wrangle family and friends for group portraits. After the wedding, she delivered a gallery to us that transported us back to every moment of the day in the most artistic way possible. Every photo tells a story, with light that feels magical, and compositions that prove her mastery of her craft. Most importantly, Hallie captures the feelings of the day, so as time passes and memories fade, you can relive those moments over and over again. She has given us a true gift with her work. I cannot recommend Hallie enough!

the wedding day and it felt like I'd known her forever. We have only received our sneak peek so far and we absolutely adore the photos, so I can't imagine how amazing the entire gallery will be when it's complete. They brought back the exact feeling of being there. Hallie is very sweet and down to earth and was overall a great human being to work with. I knew in my gut when we hired her that she was the right choice and I wasn't wrong.

d again, she was FABULOUS! I definitely recommend her services!

us. For someone who despises the cold very much (that’s me), the pictures turned out AMAZING! She is also just a fun vibe to be around. I suggest you hire this lady and enjoy spending every moment with her for whatever occasion it may be!

ody looking for amazing work by an amazing person!

st priority. To us, October 3 was so much more than a wedding. It was a celebration with so memories that we will have forever. I am SO late writing this review, but here I am over a year later, I don't think about much else other than the pictures that I'll have forever. I wanted to show our kids our wedding pictures and really feel the moments like we did. I could not be more thankful for Hallie's work. She's truly an artist.

to put a lot of trust in someone when it comes to capturing the most important day of your life, and from our experience with Hallie, she went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of, from start to finish. Our initial meeting (over zoom) gave us an idea of what to expect, and boy did she deliver! On the day itself, she had such a calm energy, something that we needed in the midst of all the hubbub. She effortlessly floated from place to place, managing to catch moments that we explicitly said we wanted, and also moments that we didn't even see! It was important to us that our photographer helped us create memories from these photos, because seeing how happy our guests were and how different groups of people from our lives came together was extremely special. The photos themselves are beautifully edited and, I can't stress this enough, the emotion shines through! We will be forever thankful that we had Hallie as our photographer!!

e ours. We were, to put it in way too few words, completely blown away by the results.

f your wedding day that not only capture how it looks, but how it FEELS. I knew I wanted Hallie to photograph my wedding years before I got engaged. I could tell she captured something truly magical when I felt emotional looking at photos of complete strangers. I knew I wanted that for our family and of our family. It is truly a gift to look at our wedding photos and feel the same emotions we did that day. Hallie tows the line perfectly when it comes to interacting with everyone so they feel comfortable without calling attention to herself or interrupting any organic moments (super important- you want a friendly photog but not so much that he/she disrupts interaction with you and your family/spouse/wedding party/etc). When I look at my photos, I don’t recall a photographer’s instruction or a moment involving her at all. Just what was actually happening on my wedding day with the people I love most in the world. Hallie gave us the gift of time travel.

ng and we are so happy with the moments she captured!

we love who couldn't be there, but our photographer would be one of the very few people we'd be sharing this day with in person. Hallie was the best. Period. Her laid-back style made us feel so at ease and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead of our photographer. But WOW did she deliver on the photographs as well! She perfectly captured my husband and I. We look like ourselves in the best light and I can't wait to continue to return to these photos for the rest of our lives. It's also worth noting that she will go above and beyond to do whatever she can to make your wedding day the absolute best. She hooked me up with other vendors she knows and trusts. And when a miscommunication resulted in a missing officiant, she was a fierce advocate for us, resolving the issue and is now literally the reason I was still able to get legally married on my wedding day. She's just the absolute best. Hire her!

can take a photo, Hallie takes moments. Moments where the emotion is felt. As a bride you don’t want the day to end, her photographs capture every experience. I had a “story” I wanted for our day to tell. Hallie’s vision made every photo come to life. Our photos were so meaningful, so deliberate, yet free. Her skill and talent are unmatched by any other photographer! She must be Super Woman because I don’t know how she got all the different angles! I can not thank Hallie enough for perfection! Not only is Hallie the best photographer you will find, her personality is so special. Trust me, I’ll save you weeks of looking and stress; pick Hallie, book her now, don’t wait or you will miss out on an opportunity to have your wedding photos be pure magic! I would pick Hallie a million times over. Hallie will definitely be our photographer for life!

so easily relatable and super sweet. I was worried our engagement photos were going to be awkward since she doesn't pose her couples, but they ended up being very easy. She was able to make us laugh and have fun. Our engagement photos turned out a million times better than I ever could've imagined thanks to her. She communicated with us so well to coordinate wedding day photos making it that much easier for us the day of. We had so many guests tell us that they didn't even notice she was there when it came to taking candid photos at the reception. She is very professional and is willing to do everything she can to help you. . I can't wait to see our wedding photos/videos and I will definitely be recommending her to all my friends!

e has very special aesthetic.

e always made us feel relaxed, which is important when you have a stranger taking your pictures!! Her beautiful spirit and genuine love of helping others shows through her work. I chose her because her style of shooting is so personal and different (plus we just clicked on our first phone call with each other). I can say without a doubt that choosing Hallie as our photographer was one of the easiest decisions when planning our wedding. I look at our wedding photos at least once a week and we were married 6 months ago (they’re just so good). I told her the other day that she’s our “photographer for life” and plan on asking her to photograph a lot of life’s big moments. So, definitely hire Hallie for your photography needs... trust me when I say you won’t regret it! And on a personal note, Stephen and I would like to acknowledge Hallie and her fight for equality for all people (within the wedding industry and our country). We notice and we are beyond proud and grateful to have met you.

d live in New England, and it was through a series of happy events we found Hallie. Even though she's based so far from us, we were so in love with her work and general approach to photographing weddings that we knew we wanted to hire her over anyone else. She was super fun and approachable when I first reached out, and from there I have nothing but good things to say about how quickly she gets back to emails (within an hour, usually less), and how flexible and open she is to plans (we were planning on getting married in the mountains of Maine, far far away from any major airports and yanno...civilization). And then the pandemic happened. This is where our great choice of choosing Hallie turned into an exceptional one. If there's one thing rescheduling a wedding during a pandemic has taught us, it's that you can immediately tell which vendors have your best interest at heart and which are trying to use this time to their gain. Whatever stresses that may come with wedding planning are only heightened at this moment, and I can't imagine losing out on an entire season's worth of shooting jobs. Still, the willingness that Hallie has shown to bend over backwards and support us during this time speaks volumes. Like her bio says, it should feel like you're being photographed by a friend, and I can truly say it feels like you have a friend/support system on your side and not just someone you hired. I'll post a review in 2022 after we've had the wedding we've been looking forward to for Hallie the Photographer and the pictures she's taken (I'm sure they'll be amazing). For Hallie the Person, 100 out of 10 stars. For everyone out there right now planning a wedding, HIRE HER. From one stressed-out couple to all other couples, we cannot recommend her enough. It may be the worst of times, but Hallie is truly the best.

ies. She did an amazing job and I would recommend her to everyone I know!

c way. When we reviewed our engagement and wedding photos it felt like we were reliving it all in the best way. Nothing felt over posed or forced. Also, our families loved her. I wouldn’t change anything about working with Hallie.

made us feel so comfortable, her personality shined through and treated us like we’ve been friends for forever! I am so in LOVE with how those photos came out and it is all because of her. Fast forward to the biggest day of our lives, Hallie was hands down amazing. She was EVERYWHERE and never stopped moving. She captured photos that I am so blessed to have. I never knew photos could have so much “emotion” to them. Just wow. We got so many compliments on how much fun our guests had at the reception, and Hallie’s photos speak just that. We will always remember how it FELT on that day because of her. What a talented young woman and we are so thankful she was apart of this wonderful journey with us!!

t, making out in front of a stranger can also make getting those candid photos awkward. Hallie was our solution to both. She became a friend throughout this process, I almost jumped out of my seat when she arrived at my wedding because I was genuinely excited to see her. She captured moments of my wedding I hadn’t even noticed that day. When you get your album back from her (because you hired her) just know that you’re going to feel all the warm and fuzzies just like you did on the best day of your life. We are forever thankful we picked Hallie and you will be too.

no one else. But what really differentiates Hallie from other wonderful photographers in the industry is who she is as a person. Tucker and I approached Hallie about a month prior to our wedding. Tucker’s father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and after a difficult family conversation, we made the decision to plan a wedding at a time everyone could be there. For us, this day was so much more than just a wedding. Because of this, choosing a photographer to capture the true emotion of this day had just become incredibly important. We sat down with Hallie, explained our situation and without batting an eye, Hallie looked at our timeline and began to work her magic. She connected us to vendors, created a day-of timeline, and gave perfect suggestions whenever needed. Quite literally, our day wouldn’t have been possible without Hallie’s extra effort. We couldn’t have made a better decision – we hope you do to!

and a sense of candid moments, she more than delivered. Since then we've asked her to capture more moments of our family because her aesthetic is ... just ... so ... amazing. ✨

d, and boy is she an amazing photographer. Once we saw her portfolio, we knew that we had to work with Hallie. She was very communicative throughout our whole process and we did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with her and her team. I cannot stress enough that Hallie was the best person to work with and we truly feel like the images she captured represent all of the love and magic from our wedding.

to work with and was always on time and responsive. We did engagement photos and wedding photos with her. During the engagement shoot, she did a great job loosening us up so we got great candids. For the wedding, words can't describe how thrilled we are with the photos. She captured every moment perfectly! I highly recommend Hallie!

is the love between us— not some awkward pose we would never do in real life. I really appreciated the time she made to sit with us and talk through the plan for the whole day— I felt confident we weren’t going to miss anything. Then, actually having her there felt like having a really good and really talented friend show up! Her professionalism and dedication to detail really back up the gorgeous photos that make you want to book her. I can’t recommend Hallie enough!

y of a good photographer) and captures the true essence of moments because she is involved with them. All I can say is, book Hallie for your wedding.

n, and she stuck it out for 2 different locations. She made us laugh and was incredibly friendly, and for two people who have never taken professional photos, she put us right at ease. She was such a pleasure to have around on our wedding day. She really captured every single emotion of the entire day. We are forever grateful to be able to look back at our photos and actually relive the day. There’s life in this woman’s photos, and you can feel it! We are so happy we chose someone who cared about us and our story, and who we felt genuinely wanted to capture that!

mmodating vibe, leading my family to ask, "Is she a friend of yours?!" With that being said, she also brought professionalism and talent that exceeded my expectations - but know that she can mingle well with guests and get the great shots that are only privvy to someone with such a bubbly and comforting personality to guests, bride, and groom. She also took a lot of care in really understanding what we wanted photographed, and captured so many special moments between attendees as well as us on our wedding day. If she's available, BOOK HER! She will not disappoint.

knew almost right off the bat from her personality and the few pictures she shared that she had to be our photographer! She’s professional but personal, communicative, and unquestionably talented. She made us feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process, from big questions to small she was there to help guide us. It’s evident from our photos that she took the time to combine her approach with what we wanted, and the result was so beautiful. Not only that, she went the extra mile for us more than once. From squeezing us in for a quick engagement session during one of her busy trips to NYC, to literally getting down on her hands and knees to sew me into my dress, there was no doubt she had our back. No need to look anywhere else :)

for some great photo ops. Our experience with her was beyond incredible and we highly recommend her for your wedding. Thanks Hallie!

one laugh and have a good time. Her personality and calmness on the whole day rubs off on you and makes you feel better. She was the greatest person to work with and we will be using her again the future. Thank you, Hallie!

e was available to photograph our special day. Hallie is so personable and took the time to get to know my husband and I and really work with us to find out what we were looking forward to on our day, and what kind of photos we were looking for. My husband and I were very worried because we do not like portraits or "staged" photos, but she made us feel so comfortable that our day had no pressure and we were just living in the moment. When she says the day is about you, she means it, and makes you feel so special and beautiful. She did such a great job capturing the day and the little moments I was hoping she would catch. She took so many photos that I don't know which ones to choose!! I am in awe of Hallie's creativity, editing, and personality and you can not go wrong in choosing Hallie for your photographer!!

to referred me to Hallie and it was the best twist of fate. My husband and I did a less traditional wedding in Central Park and Hallie immediately got the vibe. She also made us both feel right at home and I couldn't have been more happy with the results. I should also mention she suffered through oppressive July heat like a boss. I could go on, but one look at her Instagram and you will want to book her!

love in the room, and I wanted them to look and feel authentic, not posed. With Hallie, we got that and so much more. Each photo perfectly captures every emotion from that day – the love, the excitement, the nervousness, the joy. After about 15 minutes of meeting Hallie, I already felt like she was one of my closest friends, and every single person in our family and wedding party has said the same. Her presence totally put even the most nervous in front of the camera (me) at ease. She is professional and easy to work with – answering countless emails, providing lots of recommendations, and keeping me up to date on when we should expect our photos (with a few sneak peeks along the way!). On the day of the wedding, Hallie went above and beyond for us – driving around KC for pictures at some of our favorite spots, allowing us to have a few private moments together right after the ceremony, capturing the tears and laughter that accompanied speeches, and taking some of the best dance floor photos I've ever seen. Most importantly, she captured the love we have between each other, and with our friends and family. The photos perfectly encapsulate my memory of our day and are exactly what I set out to find when choosing a photographer. Every single one is my favorite. Book Hallie for your wedding – I promise you will feel the same.

perfect wedding photographer was like my #1 priority when it came to wedding planning. Because I have many family and friends from out-of-state and even out-of-country, I wanted to have an amazing wedding pictures for them to see and feel the same excitement I had. I also didn't want to have those cookie cutter / traditional wedding pictures. I wanted something unique. Something different. Something that captures your eyes. Something that when you look at it, you can just feel the emotions from those pictures. Hallie was literally the perfect photographer to capture our special moments. She took our engagement and wedding photos, and girl. Lemme tell you. I felt like each picture she took came straight out of magazines or commercials because PHEW. Just amazing. High quality. Phenomenal. Masterpiece. All of our pictures were adorable and just real. Like, really REAL. I thought it would be awkward from the beginning, but nope. I never felt awkward with her starting from our first meeting and we had such a blast shooting our engagement and wedding pictures. She definitely has the eye to pick out the perfect locations. She is so down to earth and so funny. Very easy to work with. She has an amazing personality and I'm super glad I was able to have her in my special day. From my engagements to wedding photos, so many of my family members and my friends can't stop complimenting how beautiful they came out, saying they're one of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. A lot of my friends ended up using the wedding photos she took as their profile picture which made me really happy. (You can tell that's some amazing photos if they use it as their profile pictures.) Oh, and the dance floor pictures? Absolutely amazing. It was probably one of my favorite moments from the wedding. You can tell we had one hell of a night on that dance floor and the pictures show just that. We all had so much fun, and I'm so glad Hallie was able to capture every moment. Hallie's work is A+, a top-notch! Seriously went above and beyond my expectation for a wedding photographer. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and book her! You won't regret it. Trust me.

ding at a winery, she made it fun and enjoyable and we love every photo! Each photo is a special memory of the love that surrounded us on our special day. I’m so thankful for the memories Hallie captured for us. She is a great person and an amazing photographer. Thank you, Hallie!!

ot only did she capture our day perfectly and provide magnificent photos, she made our day much more special with her witty humor and amiable personality. She is perfectly herself and easy to talk to. Even when we weren't taking pictures, we were having a blast. When taking photos, she didn't direct us to pose a certain way and our photos are definitely not cliche. She focuses on the moment as it's happening and does not try to orchestrate fake happiness. Hallie sees and captures the world in a unique and romantic way. I recommend Hallie to every person possible. Thank you again Hallie for everything you've done for us!

re exactly where they needed to be to capture the right moments, big and small. She even scouted locations in our neighborhood before our day, and brought a film camera to get a different feel, which we loved. I feel lucky to have worked with Hallie because it felt like working with a friend, not a vendor, which makes a huge difference in the pre-planning and ambiance on the day-of.

and for taking our wishes and making them reality! Hallie even shot a video of our time together and we have no words for how amazing it turned out! I can highly recommend her!

, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for us. Hallie flawlessly captured our New York City elopement. Her work truly tells a story and we had a blast with her roaming around the city during our 3 hour shoot. I was worried it could be a little awkward with just the two of us and a photographer, but Hallie felt like a close friend and made our day special. She was super professional and made everything easy, her turnaround time was also great. I cannot say enough good things about her!

e ceremony you didn’t even notice her, and she caught the most genuine and intimate moments. All the photos are truly breathtaking and tell a beautiful story of the day that myself, my friend, and the rest of the party will cherish forever.

ments. Having a wedding is definitely one of the most stressful things we’d ever had to do. Having Hallie there was so comforting. She’s a pleasant, calming presence, she’s clearly a professional that knows how emotional the day can be. She also knew exactly how to direct us, since we’re both not exactly great in pictures. She let us know how to stand and smile; and knew the right tricks to get good reactions out of us. We also had an amazing fun engagement shoot with her. We didn’t know what we were getting into; but she made us so comfortable and turned our freezing cold and smoldering hot shoots into entertaining experiences. Ours was a non-traditional wedding, we didn’t have a lot of posed pictures and so we wanted someone who could capture the action shots, and Hallie delivered!!

graphed for about 15 minutes while we were still so happy and I was a bit in shock. The gorgeous, artful and absolutely not cheesy shots we got back made it a no brainer that we were going to beg borrow or steal to have her photograph our wedding the following year. Luckily, she said yes :) The photos Hallie takes capture the feeling of getting married, the excitement, the nervousness, the happiness, the cute family moments, the weird dance floor happenings. When you get married you sort of feel like you're black-out happy - so the photos are so crucial to seeing how it actually all was. Remarkably, she was everywhere (even without an assistant) and the photos are a holistic representation of one helluva party. My parents are thrilled. His parents are thrilled. Our friends are thrilled. Everyone says they're some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Hallie is easy to work with, assertive and a true professional. She knows her stuff. I am really uncomfortable in front of a camera, but it's different being in front of Hallie's lens. She knows exactly when to let you know what to do to look like yourself, just better. In summary, you'd be making a big mistake by not booking her. Do it.

She captures real moments - not staged - the candid moments we want captured since they reflect in the moment memories that we can cherish forever! I will definitely recommend Hallie for all of my future weddings and can't wait to work alongside her in the future!

y were represented. Finding Hallie was nothing short of a miracle. Hallie is full of life, humor and talent, she is fun to be around and has a style that is uncomparable. We met Hallie over a year before the wedding, and immediately hit it off. As a trained photographer, I asked her a million questions and she was able to answer each and every one, while alleviating our concerns. She encouraged us to have an engagement session and I’m so happy we did. We were able to understand each other a bit more, figure out some poses, and laughed way more than expected, while quickly gaining a new friend. Hallie and I were in constant communication, allowing us both to understand expectations of the day. We trusted Hallie with our day, and wanted to make sure it was going to be successful for us all. The day of our wedding, Hallie and her second shooter went above and beyond. They allowed us to have moments that weren’t photographed, shared moments that made us laugh about the day, and most importantly, captured the love we felt that day between each other, and all of our guests. A few days later, Hallie sent us a link to her blog, and I cried throughout the entire thing. The photographs were stunning. I was able to see how my husband started the day, see parts of the day that we weren’t part of, and experience the most magical day of my life over again. Not only does Hallie take remarkable photographs, she photographed the day exactly how I remembered it, it was as if she photographed my memory of the day. I hope Hallie is the photographer at every wedding I attend so my friends and family can experience the level of skill, passion and heart that she brings.
