This is the story of Tara and Ryan’s beautiful wedding continued with their wedding reception that was held at the Timacuan Country Club in Lake Mary. If you missed Part 1 you can see that here. The cake was provided by Party Flavors and was created to compliment Tara’s dress-beautiful! The candy bar was a huge hit and I love how they personalized the candy bar with all of the bridal party “favorites”. Touches of Tara and Ryan were on every aspect of the reception which made it that much more special for all of the family and friends in attendance. And DJ Lou provided the tunes for the bride and groom’s first dance and the dancing continued right up until Tara and Ryan left to the crackling of tons of sparklers. Wishing them a lifetime of love, laughs and happiness…

Their first dance…A yummy candy bar…Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances…This is one of my favorites…I adore how he is looking at her…

I have been anxiously awaiting to post this gorgeous wedding of Tara and Ryan and had a truly difficult time narrowing down my favorite shots…so this will be a two-part blog post beginning with the pre-ceremony, ceremony and after ceremony followed by Part 2-the reception.

It’s hard for me to put into words what it meant to me to photograph this most wonderful day for them. I have known Tara and Ryan for years now and was elated when they asked me to be their photographer. We actually started off with the Photobooth “Save the Date” photo shoot and then shortly afterwards shot their engagement in Winter Park. And then on Saturday, January 29th they became Mr. & Mrs. Gasparovic or kindly known as “The Gaspos”. Their day was nothing less than perfect-the kind of fairy tale perfection every bride dreams of. So here is a little of that perfection to enjoy…

Fantasy Surf is a great place to celebrate and have a party! I recently did a photo shoot for Fantasy Surf, in Kissimmee, FL to highlight their party packages. The kids had a great time laughing and giggling, eating cake and flowboarding. If you are interested in their party packages go here to their website and check it out.

Cody (flowboard instructor-and my son!) helps the kids get onto the wave and teaches them how to ride.

Harper was baptized on February 20th and I felt truly honored to be able to document this special ceremony for the St. Onge family. And speaking of family-they came from California, New Hampshire, New York and all over Florida for this amazing day. The last time the entire family was all together was for Andrea and Ed’s wedding three years ago so this was a day to celebrate. Harper was a perfect little lady for the entire ceremony and did not even budge when, as the Priest aptly warned us, cold water was poured onto her head symbolizing her baptism. I’ve said it before and I’m sure I will say it numerous times in the years to come but I adore this precious family. So here is Harper’s day…

Fantasy Surf, located in Kissimmee, opened their doors in October of 2010 to a very thrilled flowboarding community. I am a tad bit familiar with this since my son and husband have been flowboarding since 2007 and both hold national titles from the Flow Tour 2009. Fantasy Surf houses a double wide flowrider that local flowboarders and tourists have been enjoying for the past six months. At Fantasy Surf you can not only flowboard and bodyboard but also shop at the Surf Shop and grab something to eat at the Lull (the pizza is amazing by the way!) And if you are visiting you can stay at the Fantasy World Resort Villas located on the property right behind Fantasy Surf. What an amazing facility they have opened for Central Florida. I was privileged to photograph the Fantasy World Resort and Fantasy Surf, including the flowboarding instructors, for their marketing campaigns and encourage everyone to visit Fantasy Surf and “catch a wave…”

The riders featured below are the Fantasy Surf flowboarding instructors including my son Cody along with Gilberto, Vanessa and Brad. Also featured is Sean Silveira-two time world champion and three time national champion who is sponsored by Fantasy Surf.
