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:

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!

Capturing Pure Bliss At Two Of Philadelphia’s Hottest Wedding Spots

This is one fun-filled Philadelphia wedding video that you simply have to see!

The Allure Films team was thrilled Jennifer and Gregory asked us to document their gorgeous Philly wedding. They would be celebrating their special day in not one, but two of our most favorite locations!

Their ceremony took place at the jaw-dropping Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. The cathedral looks like something straight out of the Vatican with its breathtaking columns, antique marble, and beautiful stained glass,. It felt even more special illuminated by the smiles of the happy couple.

After the ceremony, the party really got started! We all climbed into a party bus and made our way over to The Ritz-Carlton. Along the way, we made a few stops at some of Philadelphia’s most beautiful landmarks. The gorgeous fall foliage created the perfect backdrop for the entire wedding party to strike funky poses, and the Allure team was there to capture every happy moment.

As we filed into The Ritz, everyone’s jaws drop. The always-elegant venue did not disappoint. The décor was perfect, and EBE’s Rio kept the party going all night long with their flawless musical performances.

Congratulations to the newlyweds, and thanks for inviting Allure Films along to capture your big day!

Filming Those Unforgettable Moments Before “I Do”

While many people tend to focus on the vows, the ceremony, or the party at the reception, Allure Films’ favorite part of wedding day is capturing the moments before the “I Do’s.”

During our initial meetings with Hallie and Sam, it was clear that they felt the exact same way. They were thrilled to have the Allure team there to film their Hyatt at The Bellevue wedding, and wanted to make sure we would be there extra early to film all of those touching moments leading up to their walk down the aisle.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect when we arrived in Philadelphia on that gorgeous October day. Our crew ventured off to meet up with Hallie and Sam in their rooms as they got ready for the big day.

So many wonderful moments were caught on film that morning. As the beautiful wedding dress hung in the background, we followed the bride and her family around as they helped each other get ready. The way that Hallie’s dad looked on as his daughter’s hair and makeup were done was truly touching.

Our videographers also captured Sam hanging out with his groomsmen, sharing funny stories and laughing at memories captured on their phones as they put on their tuxedoes and fastened their bow ties.

It’s these candid moments, caught on camera by Allure Films, that the bride and groom will cherish forever. They truly make each wedding video unique!

With the entire bridal party dressed to the nines, we ventured down to the ceremony hall. The traditional Jewish ceremony was held under a gorgeous huppah. The floral arrangements, provided by Carl Alan Floral Designs, were out of this world. They truly transformed the ceremony and reception halls into incredibly stunning spaces.

It was truly a pleasure to document Hallie and Sam’s wedding day. We got to be a part of so many unforgettable moments. Congratulations, Hallie and Sam!
