    Hi Bee's!

    If anyone can help me brainstorm on locations, I would be so grateful!

     

    We were discussing locations with our photog of where we would like to take photo's after the church ceremony/before the reception and we are all over the board.  At first, we went with an easy outdoor idea (Downtown Naperville), but it's really not "us".  We are more unique and just love historical buidings with huge staircases, high ceilings, old moldings, ect.  And if we are paying all of this money for a photog, we would like to put his great skills and experience to work!

    So bee's, any ideas?  Something near Naperville would be ideal.  Naper settlement is not large enough (not what we're looking for), Cantigny/Morton Arboretum, too much walking (not really what we are looking for, either). I believe there are some historical buildings, but they are more south and too far.

    It will be myself, my FI and about 9 people in our bridal party plus the photog.

    Would you be willing to go to Oak Brook? It's not too far from Naperville. If you would, I'd recommend checking out the Mayslake Peabody Estate. It's owned by the forest preserve, and there is a GORGEOUS old mansion on the property with just the right amount of decay.

    @ltleen:  Great suggestion.  I am familiar with it, I don't know if they would allow us to show up/take photo's especially with another wedding going on... so I'll follow-up!

     

    Any other suggestions?
