Where to take pictures?

Anyone have some names of good places to take pictures after our ceremony? Western Suburbs.  Our hotel is in Bolingbrook, Church in Joliet, reception in Homer Glen.

Obviously I have thought about the morton arboretum but have a huge WP and I'm pretty sure they charge per person.  Any other suggestions would be great.

TIA.

    Aren't there some nice golf courses out that way?  Your photog should have some suggestions.  There's Cantigny here in Wheaton but that's coming back too far west for you.

    I have a friend who lives in Homer Glen.  I'll shoot her an email.

    Where in Joliet is the wedding?

    What about Bird Haven or Pilcher Park/golf course in Joliet/New Lenox? I have also seen some great shots from Bicentenial Park along the river.

    Also, if your hotel is in Bolingbrook Riverwalk in Naperville is pretty nice too and may not be very far. That is where our e-pics were.

    OP - here's part of my friend's email with the recs:

    Downtown Frankfort is scenic.     www.frankfortdowntown.com/" target="_blank">http://www.frankfortdowntown.com/  but further south a bit.  Actually, the Orland Park Civic Center has some nice areas.  That's where my reception was. Not sure of their policy of pic taking if you're not renting out the joint, but it's worth looking into. www.orland-park.il.us/facilities.aspx?RID=71&Page=detail" target="_blank">http://www.orland-park.il.us/facilities.aspx?RID=71&Page=detail   There's also the Will Co Park Dist.

    I don't really know how it works with admission to the Arboretum if you're taking pictures...but I know you have to get a photography permit for $150...I don't think they would then charge per person admission in addition, but I really have no idea.  It's so gorgeous though (it's where we got engaged) that it's worth looking into.  I'd give them a call and see what they say.  Good luck!
