An Outdoor Wedding at Ridley Creek State Park

February 21, 2019 Outdoor Locations, Wedding Films

Outdoor weddings always come with a risk in the weather, but if you’re lucky, your wedding can fall on a gorgeous day. Hayley and Alex celebrated their outdoor wedding at the Parque at Ridley Creek. Tucked back in the woods, this scenic venue allots for a background of natural foliage. A reflecting pond and sprawling gardens surround the historic Hunting Hill Mansion. When exchanging vows, sunlight shone through the trees onto the loving couple.

After the ceremony, everyone relocated into the mansion for the reception. Alex and Hayley shared their first dance, and Alex picked up his wife and spun her around. Their first dance showed that they care for each other while also having fun together. Both of them could not stop grinning the whole day, excited to start their lives together. Inside and out, Susan Beard Design did a wonderful job photographing the scenes at the Parque at Ridley Creek.

We were so happy that Hayley and Alex gave us the opportunity to shoot their wedding. It was effortless to capture the love between these two, and we’re grateful to give them these memories on film.

Congratulations Hayley and Alex! We wish you many more happy days together.

Madeline and Zack’s Wedding Day in Villanova

February 7, 2019 Villanova Chapel, Wedding Films

VillanovaMarriage is about building a family together, but before that, it is about joining two families as one. Madeline and Zack knew this, and knew that their relationship would grow even more with their families’ support.

Zack’s brother said he thought that their family would scare off Madeline, but instead she fit right in. From the start, she bonded with Zack’s brother and quickly became part of the family. On the other side, Madeline’s protective sister quickly saw how much Zack cared for Madeline, and gave her approval as well. After much family bonding, Madeline and Zack tied the knot at St. Thomas of Villanova Parish. After a traditional ceremony, everyone relocated to The Inn at Villanova for the reception.

As the two entered the reception, Zack excitedly motioned to Madeline, showing off his wife. After their entrance, the couple joined together in a fun choreographed first dance. Madeline and Zack found happiness in each other, and their celebration showcased the love they created. Our Allure Films team was honored to film this joy for them so that they can relive it year after year. We were also joined by our talented friends from Morby Photography on this special day. BVTLive’s Jellyroll band set the tone for the reception with their entertaining performance as well.

Congratulations Madeline and Zack! We wish you joy in every day together.

A Sparkling Wedding in Logan Square

January 15, 2019 The Logan Hotel, Wedding Films

basilicaThe best couples understand that even in the busiest of times, you should still make time for each other. Through long hours and busy schedules from their medical professions, the two always supported each other. While John’s original rule was to stay a bachelor through his residency, his love for Christyna changed his mind. Their strong relationship led them to a joyful wedding day, starting out in Logan Square. At The Logan, the couple and wedding party prepared for the ceremony, located at St. Peter and St. Paul Basilica.

After relocating to the Basilica, the ceremony began. In front of family and friends, John and Christyna joined together in a new partnership. They vowed to stay by each other’s sides and continue to grow in faith and love together.

The newlyweds then relocated a third time to the Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park. The charming venue came with a carousel ride to begin the celebration. In the banquet hall, Carl Alan Floral Designs decorated the room with gorgeous flower arrangements. The fun continued as CTO Tribeca began to entertain with their 10-piece band. Guests danced and sang along to keep the celebration going.

Throughout the exciting day and night, our Allure Films team captured these exciting moments. Our friends from Philip Gabriel Photography also helped capture these memories in photos. We were honored to capture this day for Christyna and John for them to look back on for years to come.
