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.

Winter Elegance At The Union League

Winter brides, take note! Allure Films captured plenty of winter wedding inspiration while filming Francesca and Brian’s stunning Union League wedding video.

The entire day was filled with laughter and plenty of fun. Even the first look gave us a giggle, with Brian’s adorable backwards wave as he heard his bride walking toward him.

Brian and Francesca’s wedding party was a blast to be around, and we captured plenty of smiles and laughs in our “getting ready” footage. Francesca looked stunning in her wedding dress, with a fur coat to keep her warm and snug in Philadelphia’s frigid winter temperatures.

The wedding took place at the Union League. Located in the heart of Philadelphia, it is one of our favorite places to film. There are so many beautiful rooms, soaring ceilings, jaw-dropping chandeliers, and impressive architectural accents that make every angle amazing. Documenting a romantic kiss on the iconic twin staircases is a must, and as always, we were not disappointed by the outcome of that perfect shot!

As if the venue wasn’t stunning enough, Carl Allen Floral Designs took everything up a notch. Between their stunning arrangements, the upbeat live music from EBE’s Dreamtime, and the fabulous bride and groom, the wedding was truly picture perfect!

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?

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!
