Conor & Stephanie's Timeless Wedding at St. Luke Church & Concorde Banquets

Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are unforgettable because of the people. Every part of their day reflected the importance of faith, family, and the traditions that brought them together.

A Sacred Beginning at St. Luke Church

The day began at St. Luke Church in River Forest, where family and friends gathered to witness Conor and Stephanie exchange vows, surrounded by the people who meant the most to them, they promised forever.

These are the moments that deserve more than photographs—they deserve to move, to breathe, and to be remembered exactly as they happened.

Portraits at Dominican University

After the ceremony, we made our way to Dominican University, where the elegant architecture and peaceful grounds provided the perfect backdrop for portraits.

Working alongside photographer Jaime Campanelli, we focused on creating natural, authentic moments. Some of the best shots of the day happened between poses. The laughter, the quiet conversations, and the excitement that comes from finally being married.

For couples planning a wedding in the Chicago area, Dominican University continues to be one of our favorite portrait locations thanks to its classic architecture and beautiful outdoor spaces.

An Evening Filled with Family Traditions at Concorde Banquets

The celebration continued at Concorde Banquets in Kildeer, where every detail reflected Conor and Stephanie's story.

The reception featured a live wedding painter from Rosemary Fanti, capturing the evening as it unfolded in real time.

Music played a huge role throughout the evening. A live violin performance by Tony Music added elegance during the celebration before Forever Young DJs kept the dance floor packed for the rest of the night.

A Team That Brought Every Detail Together

A wedding day like this comes together because of an incredible team of professionals working behind the scenes.

Stephanie looked absolutely stunning thanks to Tamara Hair & Makeup Artistry, while The I Do Two kept the entire day running smoothly from beginning to end. Guests enjoyed an incredible cake from The Baking Institute, authentic cannolis from Holy Cannoli Chicago.

Transportation throughout the day was provided by Cloud 9 Limo and The 312 Limo, helping everyone arrive relaxed and on schedule.

When talented vendors work together with one goal in mind, couples can simply enjoy their wedding day without worrying about what's happening behind the scenes.

Capturing More Than a Wedding Day

At Bella Tiamo Films, we believe every couple deserves more than a highlight reel. We want your wedding film to bring you back to the emotions you felt—the anticipation before seeing each other, the laughter during portraits, the tears during speeches, and the joy of celebrating with everyone you love.

It was an honor to preserve those memories, and we're grateful to have been part of such an incredible day.

Thanks for having us! -Travis
