the loganCaitlin and Jeremy married at St. Patricks Church in Philadelphia, and then followed it up with a reception at the The Logan Hotel. Inside the Logan, family members gathered to give their speeches to the bride and the groom. Caitlin’s sister had a touching speech where she formally introduced Jeremy into the family as her “brother and friend.” We love seeing so many supportive people in one place to celebrate love.

At this wedding, we were joined by Cliff Mautner Photography in capturing Caitlin and Jeremy’s special day. Carl Alan Floral Design beautifully transformed the Logan into an even more magical-feeling venue. Our Allure Films team was so lucky to film every replayable memory for the two to watch later in their happily married life.

Surrounded by family and friends, Caitlin and Jeremy celebrated with the help of the Charles St. Paul Band.  They danced the horah and everyone had a great time with the bride and groom throughout the night. We were honored to film such a fun and joyful wedding day for them.

Mazel Tov Caitlin and Jeremy! We hope you have many more happy days 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.

Congratulations Christyna and John! We wish you happiness in every day together!

Opposites Attract & Make The Perfect Pair At Lindsay & Daniel’s Wedding

The Logan Philadelphia Wedding Video - Lindsay & DanielYou know that old saying, “Opposites attract?” Well that statement definitely holds truth when it comes to describing Lindsay & Daniel. According to Lindsay’s sister Shelby “Lindsay is the small East Coast vegetarian who is the perfect complement to Dan, a tall, blonde-haired, football- and steak-loving Texan.” Clearly, they are a match made in heaven!

After meeting in Seattle six years ago, Lindsay & Daniel headed back East and teamed up with Lauren James Events to plan what was to be an unforgettable wedding held at The Logan in Philadelphia.

The Allure Films crew arrived at the hotel to capture the heartwarming exchange between the bride and groom during their First Look. There’s nothing like documenting a First Look between the bride and groom before their wedding, and thanks to the magic of film, Lindsay & Daniel can press the rewind button on this moment for the rest of their lives. Cliff Mautner Photography was also on hand to get stunning images from the entire day.

It’s always amazing to see everyone come together to transform a hotel ballroom from a space fit for a ceremony to a space fit for a reception. Jamie Rothstein Floral & Event Design were the creative visionaries behind all of the wedding décor elements. We were in awe of the couple’s ivory floral-adorned chuppah.

The reception was a big celebration filled with plenty of great speeches and friends and family dancing to Starlight Music. The dance floor was packed the whole night, and everyone had a blast, including the happy couple.

Mazel Tov Lindsay & Daniel, and here’s to a lifetime of lots of love and happiness!

Lots Of Love & Plenty Of Laughs At Sam & Jill’s Philadelphia Wedding

November 15, 2017 Blog, Jewish, The Logan Hotel

A great marriage is built on love, trust…and in the case of Sam and Jill, knowing when to “give each other Reese’s after a long hard day!”

Philadelphia natives Sam and Jill recently tied the knot at the City of Brotherly Love’s The Logan Hotel. Allure Films had the honor of documenting this joyous occasion for the amazing couple and their family.

Both the wedding ceremony and reception took place in The Logan Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. It was incredible to see how quickly everyone worked together to transform the venue into a space fit for both parts of the wedding within a very short window of time. Allure Films and Baiada Photography were there to capture all the great moments, including Sam and Jill saying “I do.” Philadelphia’s Ten Pennies Florist were responsible for the lovely floral arrangements that lined the aisle.

The bride and groom’s wedding vows were heartfelt and tender, filled with lots of love and plenty of laughter. Just like the happy couple! We love the personal twist that they were able to add to their otherwise traditional Jewish wedding ceremony.

As the couple joined their guests for cocktail hour, the Grand Ballroom was magically transformed into the reception hall. A live band was there to keep guests moving and grooving throughout the night.

Sam and Jill’s wedding reception definitely consisted of a lot of love, laughter and dancing! All night long the dance floor was packed, with Sam and Jill always found at the center of it. At one point Jill even becomes a part of the band! Aside from filming the traditional hora dance, we had the privilege of being able to capture moments from the Mezinke dance: a flower crowning ceremony honoring Sam’s parents for marrying off their last child.

Mazel Tov Sam and Jill, here’s to a lifetime of love, happiness, and plenty of Reese’s 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.
