Outdoor photo locations

I need some Knottie brainpower on this one!  My ceremony is in Orland Park and my reception is in Schaumburg; yes it's a drive. I'm trying to find an outdoor location to take photos that we could stop at along the way--preferably off of I-355. Morton Aboretum would be nice, but you have to have a permit and it's $150 which I do not want to pay. I'm open to anything--urban, natural, etc.

TIA!

    Cantigny Park is very pretty and I always see wedding parties taking pictures there.  Not sure if you need a permit....

    There's a park like setting right outside of the Westin in Itasca. It's closer to Schaumburg. We got ready at the Itasca so we could take pictures there. I thought it was part of the hotel premisis. I didn't find out until after we booked the rooms that it was part of a corporate park, not the hotel. It's really pretty...and I think it's free.

    We had pics done at Adams Park in downtown Wheaton.  While we were there, there were also 2 other bridal parties getting photographed.  Very pretty with all the flowers, the fountain, and little gazebos scattered around.
