There are so many wonderful things I could say about this day and this couple.  Brooklyn and Darin’s Zimmerwald Estate wedding was truly a fairytale and they have such a precious love. It was a gorgeous day in June and the decor, colors, and style could not have been more perfect for this setting!  The […]

When the stars align and you FINALLY get a spring-like day to work with!  Not only was the weather perfection for this Carolina Thread Trail maternity session, but this sweet momma couldn’t have been more beautiful!  She seriously glows in every single picture! XOXO,

Recently, I have been spending time reflecting on the past years. Where I started and where I am now, and it’s hard to believe that my 2014 couples are coming up on their FIFTH YEAR anniversaries.  The craziest part for me is that I started Broad River Photography in 2007, so those couples…12 YEAR ANNIVERSARIES.

After over ten years of waiting, Kalie and Ryan finally said “I do.”  Their lovely Gingerbread Meeting House wedding was beautiful and filled with pops of purple that made it perfect!
