Romance Abounds At This Stunning Overbrook Country Club Wedding

Your wedding day isn’t just some ordinary day in the books. For Mary Lauren and Derek, it was a day that they’ll never forget!

Allure Films joined Philip Gabriel Photography at Overbrook Golf Club, where Mary Lauren and Derek were each getting ready in separate rooms. We captured several touching moments of the bride and groom reading one another’s letters before the ceremony, and receiving help from their family and friends to strap up shoes, button up dresses, and tie bow ties.

Mary Lauren and Derek said their “I Do’s” in a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony in front of their loved ones at Saint John Neumann Parish in Bryn Mawr. After the vows were exchanged and the newlyweds were announced, everyone made their way back to Overbrook Golf Club to kick off the party with an outdoor cocktail hour over the 18th Fairway.

Overbrook Golf Club provided an incredible natural landscape where the team from Philip Gabriel Photography was able to snap some jaw-dropping romantic shots of the bride and groom. Just as stunning was the décor in the ballroom, where Petah Bashano Event Design had pulled out all the stops with their floral centerpieces and romantic candlelit tables.

After a delicious meal, guests of all ages danced the night away to the upbeat tunes performed by the Don Eaton Band. There was never a moment when the dance floor wasn’t packed!

Mary Lauren and Derek, here’s to your wedding day and a lifetime of more extraordinary days ahead.

Love, Laughter, & Happily Ever After At This Phoenixville Foundry Wedding

Just like the old song goes, “Love will keep us together.” Throw in a dash of fun and laughter and you’ve got the wonderful couple that is Christine & Nick!

This fun-loving couple exchanged vows in a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony held at Saint Coleman’s Church in Ardmore, PA. At the church the Allure Films team and Hoffer Photography were able to capture many touching moments, including the bride walking down the aisle towards her groom at the altar, as well as sharing one-on-one moments with family members.

After the ceremony it was time for the guests and wedding party to head on over to the Phoenixville Foundry for the bride and groom’s reception – also known as the party of their lives! The reception took place in the Foundry’s main ballroom. This facility within the Foundry contains a mix of timelessly historical and modern architecture that made for a great interior backdrop for photos. Christine and Nick made their grand entry in style, with the groom playing a mean air-guitar performance accompanied by his bride rocking along with him! After feasting on a delicious meal catered by J Scott Catering, the couple of the hour hit the dance floor dancing away to the hot tunes spun by Silver Sound Entertainment’s DJ Steve Croce.

Not only was the reception a blast, it was also a sweet celebration in every sense of the word. The couple had a terrific dessert spread including a make-your-own sundae station, along with a make-your-own candy box station that guests could take home with them afterwards. Christine and Nick, we wish you many more years of sharing the laughter and love together!

Pure Romance At A Logan Philadelphia Wedding

In 2009, Allure Films had the honor of capturing Lauren Briglia and Pete Pryzbylkowski’s wedding day on video.

In the summer of 2017, we were beyond thrilled to have reconnected with this amazing family and document Lauren’s sister, Alison, on her special day marrying the love of her life, Jeremy.

Everything about Alison and Jeremy’s wedding represented timeless style and pure romance. The official wedding ceremony was held at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul, where the aisles of the Roman Catholic church were filled with friends and loved ones seated amongst beautiful ivory floral décor created by Evantine Design.

The reception took place at The Logan in their Grand Ballroom. The amazing floral decorations illuminated by countless candles created a spectacular backdrop for this wonderful celebration. Susan Stripling was there to photograph not only the amazing décor, but also to get group shots of the bridal party at the Rodin Museum in the courtyard around the whispering waterfall and fountain.

The bridal party and guests were able to dance the night away in style to the music of the BVTLive!’s Jellyroll band. Jellyroll kept everyone on their feet by performing a wide range of music styles from today’s top pop hits to Motown. There was definitely a lot of love and fun in the air on Jeremy and Alison’s day. Not only will the happy couple have great memories to look back on, but they’ll have the whole day on film where they will be able to watch themselves recite their vows to each other, and re-watch the touching speeches made by loved ones in celebration of their union.

Congratulations, Alison and Jeremy, and thanks for letting us continue to be a part of your family’s special days! We look forward to capturing touching moments with you for years to come.

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?

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!

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!

Love, Laughter, And Plenty Of Patriotism At A Union League Wedding

What an overwhelming day filled with love!

From the love for their country, to the love for their city, to their undying love for each other, Christine and Evan’s wedding day was one of the most romantic events that Allure Films has had the privilege of filming.

As members of the United States Air Force, the beautiful couple carried a patriotic theme throughout their wedding. Red, white, and blue dresses, flowers, and even the wedding cake kept everyone feeling festive and the venues looking incredible.

Christine and Evan exchanged their vows at the stunning Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul, right at the heart of Philadelphia. Afterward, they were whisked away to some of Center City’s most amazing locations, where our friends at Philip Gabriel Photography snapped photographs of the entire wedding party having fun.

After sneaking several kisses underneath the new “AMOR” sign at the top of the Art Museum Steps, the newlyweds moved the party to The Union League of Philadelphia. With more than 150 years of history supporting the United States military, it was the perfect place for Captain and Mrs. Farren to celebrate their marriage.

From the lively music by EBE Dreamtime to Evan’s one-of-a-kind Eagles party shirt hidden under his uniform jacket, the fun-filled reception was definitely one for the books.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! Thanks for letting the Allure team be a party of your special day! Enjoy this preview from Christine and Evan’s Union League wedding:

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!
