Victoria & Thomas’ Picture Perfect Wedding In Philadelphia

Nothing beats a wedding in Philadelphia. Take one look at these photos and you’ll see why!

Victoria and Thomas shared a picture perfect wedding day as they visited some of the most noteworthy spots throughout Center City. There were SO many special, and scenic moments to document, which is why we are thrilled our friends from Philip Gabriel Photography were also a part of this day!

The fun started early in the morning, as the bride and groom prepared for the ceremony. It was wonderful to watch Victoria’s dad see her in her gown for the first time!

The whole morning was filled with smiles, from Victoria’s reaction to her bouquet, to Thomas enjoying a quiet moment reading a note from his future wife and receiving a beautiful new watch. These are truly once in a lifetime moments that we know Victoria and Thomas will not soon forget, especially since the Allure Films team was there to document the whole thing.

Victoria and Thomas said their “I do’s” at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Rittenhouse Square. The Rolls Royce that brought Victoria to the cathedral was gorgeous, but not nearly as stunning as the blushing bride!

After the ceremony, the couple made their way to the Hyatt At The Bellevue, stopping along the way to vist some of the city’s most historic spots and romantic gardens.

Everyone’s jaws dropped when we first set foot in the Hyatt. With stunning décor by Lamsback Floral Decorators, the backdrop for the rest of Victoria and Thomas’ evening was truly a sight for all to see.

The evening was spent enjoying fine food, a fantastic couple, and incredible music by one of our favorite bands, as our friends from Jellyroll did a phenomenal job keeping all of the guests on their feet. What’s not to love?

Enjoy this short preview from Victoria and Thomas’ picture perfect day:

Sparks Fly At Tracy & Brandon’s Curtis Center Wedding

Another fairy tale wedding in the books – and we’re still reeling from it!

Tracy and Brandon exchanged their vows at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. While preparing for the big moment, they were able to relax and enjoy a morning of pampering with their bridesmaids and groomsmen at the Hotel Monaco. Tracy’s bridesmaids looked gorgeous in their matching silk robes!

After the ceremony, the newlyweds were joined by their bridal party for an adorable photo shoot. So many smiles, hugs, and kisses were exchanged between the bride and groom, as Sara DiCiccio Photography snapped shot after shot with the Allure Films team filming the entire time.

The group made their way to The Curtis Center, one of our favorite reception venues in the city. With its famous Tiffany mosaic and sky-high ceilings, it truly is a breathtaking place to celebrate a brand new marriage. We love the look on Tracy’s face when she first stepped into the reception hall and saw the stunning décor!

The dance floor was packed all night long as the bride and groom partied with their guests to the sound of the stellar band Strangers from BVT Live! As the evening came to a close, the bride and groom were led off into the night by a sparkler send-off. What a romantic end to a beautiful day!

Allure Films was thrilled to document Tracy and Brandon’s big day. Thank you for letting us be a part of it!

This Bride Got The Surprise Of A Lifetime In The Middle Of Her Crystal Tea Room Wedding

Everyone knows that your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life.

We’d be willing to bet that the bride and her entire guest list will be talking about this big surprise for years to come!

The groom wanted to surprise his bride at their Crystal Tea Room wedding. This stunning Philadelphia venue provided the perfect backdrop as they took the stage for their first dance, and the room filled with the sound of the acoustic version of You And Me.

As the song began to play, the bride looked up in shock – there on the stage was her favorite band, Lifehouse, performing their hit song live right in front of her!

We’re not sure what we loved more: the bride’s look of surprise, or the way the groom lovingly grinned at her sweet reaction. What a wonderful way to start a lifetime together!

When the song ended, the talented musicians from the award-winning band were more than happy to pose for photos with the bride, groom, and even the Allure Films team.

Congratulations to the happy couple, and thanks to the groom for letting us in on his little secret and allowing us to capture the touching moment on film!

You Have To See This Breathtaking Wedding At The Ballroom At The Ben!

What a wonderful day this turned out to be!

Allure Films was dazzled by Amy and Jason’s Ballroom At The Ben wedding. Carl Alan Floral Design did an amazing job transforming this already beautiful space into a jaw dropping background fit for royalty…or for a couple as lovely as Mr. and Mrs. Weiss!

We love shooting at this venue because of its sky-high ceilings, stunning chandeliers, and European atmosphere. You may recognize the venue from the final scenes of “Silver Linings Playbook,” but we’ll forever remember it as the place where Amy and Jason said “I Do!”

After the happy couple’s touching First Look, they stepped into the ballroom to exchange their vows. There was hardly a dry eye in the building as they expressed their love for each other under the chuppah.

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, the ballroom was magically rearranged into the reception hall, where everyone enjoyed delicious food and plenty of dancing all night long.

Enjoy this sneak peek into Amy and Jason’s big day, and watch the Ballroom At The Ben transform before your very eyes:

We were so thrilled to be a part of such a great wedding! Congrats Amy and Jason!

Love & Romance At This Stunning Moulin Philadelphia Wedding!

If you’re looking for a jaw-dropping location to host your dream wedding, look no further than Moulin at Sherman Mills!

This venue by Brûlée Catering was the perfect place for Laura and Alec’s June wedding. Nestled in East Falls just a stone’s throw away from Center City Philadelphia, had everything the bride and groom could have hoped for, and more!

After capturing some very touching footage of their “first look” in the heart of the city, Allure Films traveled with the couple to Sherman Mills, where Evantine Design had draped Moulin’s towering ceilings in hanging greenery and perfect summer colors. Laura and Alec exchanged vows under a chuppah that appeared to be raining flowers on the couple. How romantic!

The new Mr. and Mrs. led their guests into the reception hall, where they dined on Brûlée Catering’s award-winning fare and danced the night away to live music by Simply Irresistible.

We enjoyed documenting loving moments between Laura and Alec around some of Philadelphia’s hot spots. The historic locations all throughout Philadelphia are definitely an advantage of a city venue. Moulin is definitely a unique venue that will provide a wow factor that just can’t be found anywhere else!

Take a look at this sneak peek video, and start taking notes for your wedding day décor!

Sheer Wedding Perfection At The Reeds At Shelter Haven

If you’ve always dreamed of a romantic wedding down the shore with an equally stunning indoor option, look no further than the Reeds at Shelter Haven!

Kasey and Adam took one look at this gorgeous bayside venue and knew it was the perfect place to celebrate their wedding with their closest family and friends. With stunning views of the Stone Harbor bay, an outdoor veranda, and a jaw-dropping indoor ballroom, the Reeds had everything they wanted, and more.

After exchanging their vows at St. Paul’s Church, the newlyweds took in the summer bay breeze as they made their way to the reception. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect as guests gathered on the veranda for cocktail hour, and Allure Films captured more than one loving glance and stolen kiss between Kasey and Adam beneath the setting sun!

As the night wore on, we made our way indoors for an evening of ocean-inspired dinner, dancing, and fun. The happy couple’s closest family and friends gave speeches filled with heartfelt words and well-wishes. The dance floor was never empty; it was clear that everyone had an amazing night!

Best wishes to the new Mr. and Mrs! Thanks for inviting the Allure team to share your special day with you!

Dreaming Of A Fun-Filled Wedding? This Unique Philadelphia Venue Is Perfect For You!

We can’t remember the last time we laughed so much at a wedding!

Kim and Mitch are a fun-loving couple who had their wedding at an equally fun location: the Please Touch Museum.

This unique venue is the perfect place for couples who want to step away from the traditional wedding venue and add a bit of originality to their big day. Its soaring ceilings and breathtaking carousel add just the right amount of romance to the venue, while surprising structures like the artistic replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch provide guests with plenty of exciting adventures.

From the soft pink magnolia trees to a Center City dumpster (we’re not kidding…check out the video!), Kim and Mitch definitely kept things exciting for their wedding party and the Allure Films team! All of the smiles and laughter were punctuated with plenty of sweet kisses and a tear or two as they exchanged their vows.

All in all, it was a fantastic wedding to be a part of. Congrats Kim and Mitch, and thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

Magical Moments Caught On Film At Kaileen & Kyle’s Romantic Wedding

One look at Allure Films’ footage from Kaileen and Kyle’s beautiful wedding, and you’ll think you’ve been whisked away to the middle of a fairy tale!

After a heartwarming morning getting ready at her childhood home, Kaileen was chauffeured in a classic car to St. Francis of Assisi Parish, where she would tie the knot with her Prince Charming. Kyle was all smiles watching his bride walk down the aisle, and who could blame him! It was clear, from the moment our lovely bride and groom exchanged first looks, that they are truly a perfect match.

There was hardly a dry eye in the house as the couple exchanged vows. You could really feel the love this couple shares as Kaileen held back tears of joy at the alter.

Following their vows, the new Mr. and Mrs. took advantage of the beautiful scenery and stunning architecture of Lucien’s Manor to pose for the Allure team and the awesome photographers from Baiada Photography.

After the photos were taken (and many kisses were stolen!), it was time to party! Lucien’s Manor has seen its fair share of celebrations over the past 100 years. With breathtaking waterfalls (inside and out), and a romantic grand staircase, this venue was the perfect choice for Kaileen and Kyle’s big day.

Allure Films was excited to be a part of such a spectacular day, and to celebrate with such an amazing bride and groom. Thank you for letting us document one of the most important days of your life, and congratulations Kaileen and Kyle!
