We have a 1:00 p.m. ceremony & 6:30 p.m. reception (both in Lemont) which leaves us plenty of time in between for pictures - almost too much time. Undecided  Any recs for good outdoor picture locations in the Lemont area?

    If the Narnia Estate doesn't already have a wedding that day, you could probably do something there.

    You could go down to the downtown area and get some fun vintage shots in front of the old buildings, clock tower, old rail station and ice cream shop (that was our plan but we ran out of time).  Also, parts of the canal and trails are really pretty.  There is an old train car back near the canal trails that you might be able to get pictures on.  Good luck!

    Narnia estate, or Monte Fiori (sp?) over on Archer Ave.  Where is your ceremony & what kind of transportation situation do you have?  You could go around to several places.  I also like the idea of heading to downtown, there's a bunch of cute little spots down there.  Are you from Lemont?

    The ceremony is a Ss Cyril & Methodius in Lemont (reception is like 5 min away at Crystal Grand so lots of down time). We'll have a limo bus (still need to decide for how long) so we'll have options to get the whole group around. I'm not from Lemont so my knowledge of the area is pretty limited. :)

    St. Cyrils is a beautiful church, so you can probably get some great pics there (i used to go to this church); DOwntown Lemont is very close, but you will not want to walk down the huge hill from the church, so limo bus is good.  Depending on the weather, check out the quarries, or the I&M Canal pathway if you want some out door shots; NArnia Esates & Monte Fiori gardens will be a less than 10 minute drive, but you'll have to contact them to see what their policy is on bridal pics;  Ifyou have time one day before the wedding, just go for a drive through the town & see what you find :)
