South Wind Ranch

I was invited to photograph the stunning, South Wind Ranch in Travelers Rest, SC for their first-ever Influencer Brunch. I met with the creator and owner of this beautiful venue, Ron Hakala, a brilliant entrepreneur with a huge heart and a passion for helping others thrive. Ron created SWR from the ground up, 33 acres of rolling hills and cattle, he built a stunning barn that would soon become the south’s top tier wedding and event venue. Along with the venue, they have their own bar service, South Wind Spirits, and provide exclusive access to vendors in design, florals, photography, entertainment and catering. I was lucky enough to meet some of them, like Laura Michelle Events, whose gorgeous florals can be seen below. We also met with top makeup artists from Crystal Valley Day Spa and a handful of the most inspirational influencers of the upstate. These young women are so amazing and are taking the world by storm with intellect, wit and style. They are leading the charge on equal opportunities for women and are the best role models for little girls all around the world. I have no doubt that will be in better hands because of them. If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out South Wind Ranch and all the fabulous work they are doing. If you need a venue for your next event, without hesitating, contact them! You will not regret it.
