Have partner, will travel – and the wedding moves from Illinois to Iowa!

Chicagoland resident Marykim met Kris in Iowa and they enjoyed a commuter relationship.
So it was fitting that their Illinois wedding would ultimately be moved to Iowa. For almost
three years Kris would travel to see Marykim and help with her bed and breakfast on his
weekends away from work. The Paper Doll House in Sycamore, IL. often holds scrapbooking
retreats and keeps her hopping.

Marykim and Kris’s Wedding In Corn Country Yields A Bumper Crop!

From the first conversation, the wedding of Marykim and Kris sounded like a fun trip. I’ve never been to Des Moines, Iowa and always hear about corn, corn, corn: much like my home state of Illinois. I was certain there was more to the surroundings than just corn.

Natalie and Tom’s Wedding Party in Canton and at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Was Beautiful and FUN

The Byzantine Catholic wedding ceremony took place at the St. George Romanian Catholic Cathedral in Canton. We took portrait photos on the grounds of the church, taking advantage of the very interesting buildings on the property – like those in Romanian villages.

There are 280 bronze busts in the Hall of Fame Gallery and it made for some dramatic photos.

They chose Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens for the ceremony. It is a truly beautiful estate – named for the Old English for stone quarry and abundance of stone used in its construction. Built by Goodyear founder F.A. Seiberling and his family, it was completed in 1915. So much history and amazing details lent themselves to beautiful photos. Thank you, Mr and Mrs. Seiberling! And to the fine folks who maintain the estate.

The earlier rain left some small puddles and the sun turned them golden from just the right angle!
Tricia’s unique ring and dress were also a great touch.
