Taking our pics in a week and a half. Our photographer suggested St. James Farm and/or Fayban Forest Preserve West in Geneva Japanese Gardens Area anyone been there?? She has some railroad tracks and an urban warehouse near the Japanese garden in downtown Batavia that I definitely wanted to do..

    The Japanese garden in Geneva is beautiful but you need to buy a permit to take pictures there!

    In doing some research for myself, I found out the St. James Farm requires a permit...in fact, it seems like many of the locations that are in the DuPage Forest Preserve District may be requiring them. And they're not cheap; something over $100. However, I think a photographer can "buy" a yearly permit & shoot as much as they want? I'd ask your photog to double check :)

    Herrick Lake, Blackwell Forest Preserve and Warrenville Grove are some very pretty areas for photos. No permit needed.
