Tara was a circus performer. The trapeze suddenly broke and she fell into Nicholas’ lap who was sitting in the audience. Yes! They told me this story when I asked them how they met. The true story still involves falling. Tara played hockey. She took ice skating lessons from Nicholas’ dad. He wanted Tara on his hockey team. Tara fell… fell in love with his son and Nicholas took her in his arms.
On Thanksgiving, Nicholas dressed Ryder and himself in matching sweaters. Tara walked down the stairs to find Nicholas on one knee and Ryder saying, “Mommy will you marry my daddy?” Tara answered a muffled half sob, “Yes!”
These pictures were taken on the grounds of Trilogy Golf Club in Corona, California…. Beautiful waterfalls, a picturesque creek and views with an incredibly helpful staff.
What a beautiful place! The one of them sitting by the waterfall is amazing.
What a great set! They’re going to cherish these for years to come! I really hope some of these end up on their wall…
I especially love the shot of their son in the foreground!
