Unique photo locations

We are trying to finalize how much time we need on our wedding day for pictures and would love to have some good ideas for our photographer and trolley driver. I am thinking the pictures at the bean are starting to look very cliche and want some one-of-a-kind type of places. Any suggestions? I want to map them out and see if they fit in between our ceremony and cocktail hour.

    I took mine on the Kinzie St bridge.  There are some cool views of the city and the river.

    if you want to find unique photo locations.. go straight to the horse's mouth. start researching 'photographer blog' websites. to see where they prefer to shoot, lighting, angles, architecture, different heights/angles, etc. ask the photographers! i'm just a bride. that's what i'd do. but, we did our e-pix in DOWNTOWN naperville and my photographer did a great job. cantigny is great. in wheaton, il. morton arboretum another location. finally, danada house in wheaton offers a different view/landscape/farm/horses.

    It will be dark out by the time we take pictures, but I still wanted to have some that showcased the city with minimal lighting. Our photog suggested the Chicago Theatre and Wrigley Field. Both will have huge lit up signs and scream chicago.
