Elopement Photo Locations in Illinois

Illinois elopements feel surprising once you leave Chicago. Starved Rock, Shawnee National Forest, and the Garden of the Gods cliffs give couples a wilder side of the state.

8 locations

Couples eloping in Illinois often skip the city entirely for southern Illinois. You can say vows on the sandstone bluffs of Garden of the Gods, in the canyons of Starved Rock, or beside the waterfalls of Ferne Clyffe. The Shawnee National Forest offers hardwood ridges and bluff overlooks, while the Cache River bald cypress swamp feels almost Louisiana-like. Lake Michigan's northern shoreline brings a different kind of quiet. Here are some of our favorite elopement photo locations in Illinois.
