The Tylers officially met in gym class playing basketball during 8th grade at Powhatan Jr. High School. Though both sides of the story varies slightly, it ultimately ended with Tyler Bray getting a concussion and blacking out on the gym floor. Tyler Bray still blames Tyler Daniels for tripping her, but after he bought her tater tots at lunch, how could she refuse such an affectionate act? Not long after both Tylers were officially dating by the start of 9th grade at Powhatan High School.
From the start of their relationship in 9th grade, the two will have shared an official decade of time together once wed. Wow! A decade of love to stand at the altar to share vows with one another. Memories of high school, college, vacations, holidays, date nights, birthdays, racing weekends, photoshoot fun, marvel movie fan-girling, camping, and so much more traveling to come. A decade of commitment to one another already with so many more to come.
The couple were on their way to model as bride and groom for Tyler Bray's best friend, Arianna, who was looking to add to her photography portfolio. On February 12, they all set out to get some epic winter bridal shots on top of Roan Mountain, Tennessee. The wind, snow, and ice were brutal but the photos were worth it. After the bridal portraits were done, the couple switched back into their normal outfits to take "couples pictures" while there. As Tyler Bray turned around, Tyler Daniels behind her got down on one knee. Arianna, well aware of this plan, was able to capture the whole thing beautifully. Tyler Bray admits that she blacked out and doesn't remember a thing Tyler Daniels even said. In the end, a 'yes' was uttered and tears were shared. The two walked down off of that mountain, in the state of Tennessee they both adore so much, as a newly engaged couple awaiting their next journey.
For the couples official engagement shoot, they visited the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. On August 30, 2021 the couple went out for their shoot and brought along their wedding photographer and videographer to capture it all. Their wedding theme colors can be seen throughout the images with tones of deep greens and sparks of gold. Fun fact: Tyler Bray's heels broke just 10 minutes into their shoot! Forcing the barefoot look which matched well enough to the whimsical theme anyway. Most of the images on this website will be from this shoot and mirror the mood and nature focused decor that will be present at the wedding.
