Brent + Sara | Engaged

Travel Inspired Engagement Pictures | Richmond, Virginia

filed in:

These two just booked a few weeks ago and I loved getting to put faces with names to quickly! Their love love started in the most unassuming way. Brent had flown in for a business class and Sara just happened to one of the few girls in the class as well. Being so outnumbered, she didn’t notice him but he noticed her. Eventually Sara picked up the social cues and the connection was obvious. The rest is history! Brent and Sara are getting married this year at The Mill at Fine Creek and we are so excited to be a part of their big day!

I loved getting back into the swing of things with this shoot. Warmer weather is coming and engagement session season is upon us! We have so many sweet 2015 and 2016 couples to introduce you to in the coming months! Enjoy getting to know Brent and Sara today! They are such much fun. Michael and I have a lot in common with them…. including a deep love for our fur babies! :) I think the only thing that could have made this engagement session a little better would have been if Callie (their beagle puppy) could have come! She’s adorable!!!

Brent and Sara have such an amazing story of long distance love and it was only fitting that they would have a travel inspired engagement shoot!!! Enjoy!
