Today we are combining a late November engagement session in Michigan with this years March wedding in Indiana, so you all have a lot to check out. Tyler and Lisa are such a wonderful couple. They are so much fun and I think it is clearly evident that they really enjoy each other, that they are so happy. In fact, I bet you just might have a smile on your face by the time you get to the end. That’s what they do, Tyler and Lisa, make you smile. Let’s begin with how they met…
As told by Lisa.
“We met at work…we both work in the ER. Three separate people suggested we would be a good match and so I started paying more attention to Tyler (I didn’t know him very well before that). He seemed super nice and so I worked up the courage to ask him out……I had to ask 3 times before he accepted!! He claims he didn’t know I was asking him on dates! We have only been apart for a week since then when he traveled to Japan for Indy Car.”

First comes love, (and an engagement session) then comes MARRIAGE!
Earlier in the day, the weather was questionable with rain, wind, and lightening as Adam and I mentioned in our cheesy clip from on our way down, but thankfully that wasn’t the case for the wedding day. It was only a tad windy making it pretty bitter cold but Lisa was so happy and the fact that it was her wedding day, she could only feel warmth.
Tyler and Lisa chose to do a “first look” giving them a moment to really enjoy seeing each other and to react in a personal, intimate way.
This chocolate/peanut butter cupcake was so incredibly delicious and was quite a hit as Lisa mentions. I’m getting cravings looking at it!
Such an adorable couple with their love still strong.
We had such a wonderful time! Cheers to your new journey!

tyler+lisa
What was the most memorable moment of your day?
Lisa: Seeing Tyler for the first time….we had only been apart for a few hours, but it was a lot of build up!
Tyler: Seeing Lisa for the first time.
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
Lisa: I loved having all photos done before the ceremony. It gets rid of the lag time (and anxiety about fitting everything in) between the ceremony and reception. That way your guests can go straight to celebrating and you can join them!
Tyler: Hire good people who know what they are doing…..it relieves a lot of worry and stress if you trust everyone who is helping you. Don’t think you can do it all yourself.
Funniest memory from your wedding day?
Lisa: Belting out Broadway showtunes with all the bridesmaids before walking down the aisle.
Tyler: The groomsman who didn’t know he was in the wedding (even though he had been officially asked twice)……called one hour before and still arrived on time!
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
Lisa: Order more Bart Simpson cupcakes (chocolate peanut butter) and less carrot cake cupcakes. =)
Tyler: Nothing
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
Turtle Island, Fiji
Yeah, he’s peeing. Adam was proud of that stance…
I remember asking him what school he went to (I assumed he HAD to be in college if he looked that good!) and when he said Stoney Creek High I nearly dropped my tray of dirty dishes (something that, for those of you who know what a klutz I am, understand that would not be unusual for me). We would chat at work a bit, but after a few weeks, I started to lose hope. Then one day, holding a tray of coffee cups, he offered to take me to a movie. I later overheard him singing country music into his mop and that was it – I was officially won over. 7 years later, I’m as crazy about him as ever and SO excited to become his wife!
Everyone was patiently waiting, but little Nova was getting a little too comfy so Kacie had to get induced making for a long night, and she took it like a champ (ofcoarse, she’s a Putman).
