Sara and Brent met at a work related class and Brent noticed her right away. He described her as a “cute nerd” and that would be fitting since these two are engineers that spend a lot of their time making our lives easier from behind a computer screen during the work week. However, they do a lot more than work… these two have been on more trips than most couples! Their love for travel was perfectly incorporated into their wedding day in both big and small ways!
From luggage tag favors to vintage suitcases, Sara and Brent made sure that their wedding was personal and represented them well! These two were married at the Mill at Fine Creek in Powhatan, Va. This is one of my favorite venues because as you’ll see once you start scrolling, there is SO much variety for portraits!! Historic Ruins, rolling hills of stone leading up to the creek bed and gorgeous willow trees! I was in heaven!! These two had a perfect day! They were married at their church (HOPE) and then went back to The Mill to celebrate!!
One thing you’ll most definitely notice in these pictures is that Brent and Sara LOVE their kiddos from the Sunday school class that they teach! EIGHT flower girls and ring bearers! The were the cutest little things and they tore up the dance floor the entire night! Enjoy this travel inspired wedding and if you love some of Sara and Brent’s awesome wedding ideas, pin your little heart out!!
Brent is from Texas and so of COURSE there had to be some boots!
Oh this kid!!!! What a cutie!
Oh Sara! Stunning!
