♬ I'll never run
Leave you behind
I'll never hurt you like he hurt you
I'll never make you cry
I'll treat you right
I'll stand by you
And no matter whatever happens
I'll never not love you ♬

✨ Ever After Estates – Official Launch Post
After months of passion, creativity, and countless late nights — I’m so proud to finally share Ever After Estates, a collection of intricately designed wedding venues created to celebrate love in all its forms.
As the designer and owner, I’ve poured my heart into every detail — from the flicker of candlelight on forest paths, to the shimmer of lanterns over the lake, to the soft glow of sunset through garden glass.
Each venue tells its own story:
🌿 Evergreen Hollow – an enchanted woodland retreat
🌸 Roselight Garden – a pastel dream of romance and light
🌊 Lantern Lake – a boho lakeside haven with cozy charm and golden-hour magic
Every element — every flower, every beam of light — was placed with intention to create spaces that feel alive with love.
If you’d like to experience them firsthand, tours are now open.

Welcome to Ever After Estates — where every love story finds its perfect setting.
Truly a marvel of engineering,the octagonal Secrest Barn was built by George Frank Longerbeam.Already known as a great barn builder,it was his first try at building a round barn.Amazingly,he had no formal training in engineering or architecture,but more importantly the pride and desire to do good work.This was the pinnacle of his work and was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1974.
The barn is now a popular wedding venue,and is open to the public.The day we visited,there was no one around.We walked up,went inside,and did our own "tour"!
Located near sleepy Downey,IA.

This photo also has a reflection of an outdoor area of the venue.
I hope all are having a wonderful Wednesday!

A friend came visiting from Mexico. We drove over the Sonora Pass, a mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada in California. On the other side of the mountain we stopped for coffee in Bridgeport. I noticed a barn next door with an oversized flag. A man waved at me when I took a photo. I hopped over the fence to talk to the person, who happens to be the owner of this place -- a wedding venue. He said it's fully booked on weekends in summer.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a realistic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, previously known as Villa Vizcaya, is the former villa and estate of businessman James Deering, of the Deering McCormick-International Harvester fortune, on Biscayne Bay in the present day Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida.
The early 20th century Vizcaya estate also includes extensive Italian Renaissance gardens; a native woodland landscape; and a historic village outbuildings compound. The landscape and architecture were influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance models and designed in the Mediterranean Revival architecture style, with Baroque elements. F. Burrall Hoffman was the architect, Paul Chalfin was the design director, and Diego Suarez was the landscape architect.
Miami-Dade County now owns the Vizcaya property, as the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, which is open to the public. The location is served by the Vizcaya Station of the Miami Metrorail.
The estate property originally consisted of 180 acres (73 ha) of shoreline Mangrove swamps and dense inland native tropical forests. Being a conservationist, Deering sited the development of the estate portion along the shore to conserve the forests. This portion was to include the villa, formal gardens, recreational amenities, expansive lagoon gardens with new islets, potager and grazing fields, and a village services compound. Deering began construction of Vizcaya in 1912 officially beginning occupancy on Christmas Day 1916 when he arrived aboard his yacht Nepenthe.
The villa was built primarily between 1914 and 1922, at a cost of $15 million, while the construction of the extensive elaborate Italian Renaissance gardens and the village continued into 1923. During the World War I years building trades and supplies were difficult to acquire in Florida. Vizcaya is noteworthy for adapting historical European aesthetic traditions to South Florida's subtropical ecoregion. For example; it combined imported French and Italian garden layouts and elements implemented in Cuban limestone stonework with Floridian coral architectural trim and planted with sub-tropic compatible and native plants that thrived in the habitat and climate. Palms and Philodendrons had not been represented in the emulated gardens of Tuscany or Île-de-France.

This portion was to include the villa, formal gardens, recreational amenities, expansive lagoon gardens with new islets, potager and grazing fields, and a village services compound.
Vizcaya was built with an open-air courtyard and extensive gardens on Biscayne Bay. As such, the estate has been subject to environmental and hurricane damage, the latter notably in 1926, 1992, and 2005. Miami-Dade County has granted money ($50m U.S.) for the restoration and preservation of Vizcaya. These funds have been matched by grants from FEMA, Save America's Treasures, and numerous other funders. Plans include the restoration of the villa and gardens, and adaptation of the historic village compound for exhibition and educational facilities; however, additional funds are required for this. The completed first phase of this project has included the rebuilding of the museum's Cafe and Shop (in historic recreation areas of the building adjacent to the pool), renovation of the East and West Gate Lodges that flank South Miami Avenue, and rebuilding of the David A. Klein Orchidarium in a plan that generally uses historic precedent. At the same time, Vizcaya has completed the first half of a major conservation program of its outdoor sculpture collections. With a consulting landscape architect, Vizcaya has too finished a comprehensive cultural landscape report, which will be a vital tool in the ongoing restoration of the formal gardens.

Finally, in this short series from Morden Hall Park, here’s another view of the River Wandle as it ambles through the former private estate. In the background is Morden Hall itself – once a substantial family mansion which, along with the park, was bequeathed to the National Trust by Gilliat Hatfeild (the spelling’s correct) in 1906.
Today, Morden Hall is an upmarket wedding venue and the surrounding open space is a park for all the people. There’s no entrance fee, and it’s one of London’s natural delights.

In 1909 by Edward Francis Searles started to build a castle is a 1/4 replica of the Stanton Harcourt Castle in Oxfordshire, England. It was designed by Henry Vaughan and build of local granite and fieldstone. At the time it was built it cost over a million dollars. It was finished around 1915.
EF Searles was an amazing man. He built the castle using local resources and labor, and when WW1 broke out and then the Great Depression, he continued to build. He built a local a church and hundreds of miles of walls and small bridges and dams using the local men who were out of work and needed to feed their families during these hard times. History records little of what he did for the people of the area in books, but the people of Windham tell stories of how he employed their grandfathers and great-grandfathers to build stone and wooded walls to nowhere and payed them a more than average good living wage to do so, so they could feed their extended families at a time when families where dying of hunger on the streets on the America for lack of a job. He truly is a unsung hero of this country.
Today the castle is used for weddings and other celebrations.

Sisterdale Dancehall & Opera House was built Circa 1890. The Opera House is the oldest continuously operating opera house in the State of Texas. It's also a popular wedding venue.
The city of Brampton has just completed extensive renovations on this house called 'Alderlea' and the millwork really is something to see. I'm not sure how much is original and how much had to be re-created but it has been crafted well. The house will have to work to pay for itself and is going to be used as a venue for various functions and probably weddings will be the top of the list.
I suspect Alderlea is going to become one of those landmark properties that is so 'over photographed' we're all going to get sick of looking at it. At least locally anyway. :-)
During the last couple of weeks I've been photographing heritage properties in the area and in spite of the fact that an enormous number of wonderful old places have been lost in the last couple of decades it's quite fine to see how many are now being preserved.
