Your wedding day is the perfect opportunity to let your personalities shine. Katie and Ryan are such a fun-loving couple, we knew their big day was going to be a blast!
Allure Films was there to capture their breathtaking Union Trust wedding. This brand new venue, located in Philadelphia’s Historic District, is the perfect blend of vibrant and chic – it was such a fitting place to celebrate Katie and Ryan’s big day.
The Allure team was joined by Baiada Photography, whose talented photographers helped document all of the day’s precious moments. After the ceremony, guests arrived at Union Trust ready to party! BVTLive’s very own Big Ric Rising had everyone out on the dance floor. We were impressed by the moves that some of the guests had!
Carl Alan Floral Designs did a fantastic job decorating the venue…they never cease to amaze. Guests were in awe of the setting, which fit perfectly with Union Trust’s beautiful architecture.
Congratulations to Katie and Ryan, and thanks for inviting us to capture your special day! Enjoy a quick preview of their wedding here:
When asked to describe Jennifer and Michael’s Down Town Club Philadelphia wedding, the first word to come to mind is “jaw-dropping.”
Allure Films was thrilled when the happy couple invited us to document their special day. With stunning views of Independence Mall, the Ben Franklin Bridge, and the Delaware River, we couldn’t wait to get to the Down Town Club and start filming!
The décor in the ballroom was flawless. We loved capturing Jennifer’s astonished look when she walked into the room for the first time and saw her dream wedding brought to life.
The day was made even better when we learned that our good friends at Philip Gabriel Photography would be there photographing the gorgeous wedding! They did an amazing job capturing each moment as it unfolded, right alongside our team.
Jennifer and Michael’s big day was filled with smiles, love, and memories that will last a lifetime, thanks to the experts at Allure Films!
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!
After weeks of frigid weather, it’s nice to escape to warmer days for a minute. And this beautiful summer wedding at The Reeds At Shelter Haven is sure to warm your heart right up!
Jacqueline and Brian’s wedding in Stone Harbor, NJ was practically flawless, with a ceremony by the water that was like something out of a fairy tale.
Allure Films truly enjoyed capturing every last detail, from the beautiful floral designs, to the touching photographs of family members on their wedding days tied to the bride’s bouquet.
Jacqueline and Brian had fun in the sun with all their family and friends all day long. The gentle breeze throughout the day helped keep everyone cool, and made for some breathtaking videography shots!
After their waterside ceremony, guests gathered for an evening of dancing and dining inside The Reeds. This was the perfect location to celebrate such an amazing day! Congrats to our newlyweds!
Cescaphe Event Group Down Town Club Wedding for Sarah and Shmuel
A wedding with Cescaphe Event Group is sure to be one to remember. Sarah and Shmuel decided to plan their wedding at the Down Town Club. This glamorous venue was the perfect pick for the happy couple. The tall windows within the ballroom overlook Old City and the Delaware River. In addition to the views, the inside is equally as stunning. Marble floors and wood panelling create an elegant atmosphere for weddings. Paired with decor from Evantine Design, Sarah and Shmuel had the perfect set up for their big day.
The First Look
Before their ceremony, Sarah and Shmuel met outside for a touching first look. Sarah’s face immediately lit up when Shmuel tapped her shoulder. The love between them shone through with every smile. It was such a touching moment for our Allure Films team to capture. Our friends from Philip Gabriel Photography also joined us in capturing their big day though photography.
A Down Town Club Wedding Ceremony
After meeting, the two headed inside for a traditional Jewish ceremony. Under the beautifully decorated chuppah, Sarah and Shmuel became husband and wife. After the ceremonial smashing of the glass, everyone cheered and shouted “mazel tov!” to the newlyweds. Then, they made their way back up the aisle, and into the reception area.
Reception
The Down Town Club ballroom was beautifully decorated with large glass vases, white and pink flowers, and soft white candles. The romantic decor paired with the Down Town Club’s elegant scenery created a gorgeous reception venue. BVT Live’s Jellyroll joined in at the reception to provide great entertainment. All of the guests danced and sang along to the music all night.
Heartfelt Speeches
As the speeches started, Sarah’s father summed it up best for the two. Life should not be filled with complications, but simply only the best things. He said, “May you lead the life you always imagined: surrounded my friends, family, and most especially, love.”
Both families were so excited for the couple to marry. Through many congratulations and well wishes, you could feel the genuine compassion in the room. Sarah’s sister said, “Shmuel has a beautiful heart. The love that our family feels for him is immeasurable. He is a gift from God. He is just perfect for my sister and more than I deserve for a brother.” It was such a touching sentiment to hear the kindness between families as they became one. Sarah’s father also stated that he always wanted a son.
The night continued on with more laughter, dancing, and love. It was a perfect day for Sarah and Shmuel to begin their lives together.

For more than 20 years, I have had the distinct honor of documenting countless wonderful weddings with some of the most amazing brides and grooms.
During this time, the Allure Films team and I have also had the opportunity to work with so many talented industry professionals throughout the Greater Philadelphia region.
Recently, my good friends Dawn and Gabe Fredericks celebrated their 10-year anniversary in grand fashion. They shared a beautiful vow renewal, and had an awesome celebration at The Union League of Philadelphia. Dawn looked as stunning as she did on her wedding day, and we’re pretty sure we saw Gabe shed a tear or two when he saw her walking down the aisle!
The day was full of laughter, tears of joy, and fond memories of the past 10 years spent together, as well as well-wishes for the years to come. This time around, Dawn and Gabe were blessed to have their children involved in the celebration! Gabe and I have been working side by side documenting weddings for years, and it was so wonderful to see him on the other side of the camera. Here’s to 100 more years filled with love, health, and happiness! Congrats Dawn & Gabe!
Enjoy this preview from Dawn & Gabe’s emotional vow renewal:
Shortly, you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life. And things between you will never quite be the same. For after today, you shall say to the world, “this is my husband”, and “this is my wife”.
Such beautiful words spoken to our lovely bride and groom, Amy and Brice!
The Allure Films team was lucky enough to be a part of this special day in Newtown Square, PA. The weather was perfect, and the scenery at Aronimink Golf Club made a gorgeous backdrop. From the stunning décor, to all the finishing touches, Amy and Brice shared quite an amazing day.
We were able to document many touching moments both before and after the ceremony. It was in these moments that we truly got a glimpse of the love shared between Amy and Brice.
One of our favorite moments of the day was when Amy presented her dad with a heartfelt gift. It is something he will cherish for years to come. It was clear throughout the day how proud and excited both families were about Amy and Brice tying the knot.
After the ceremony, Amy and Brice shared a fun-filled evening of dancing and dining. Jellyroll kept the dance floor packed as guests danced the night away. Our good friends at Philip Gabriel Photography were also capturing these beautiful moments in photos. We can’t wait to see them!
Congrats Amy and Brice! All the best from the Allure Team.

If you aren’t using a Glidecam for your wedding video, you’re missing out!
What’s A Glidecam?
A Glidecamis a lightweight, hand-held camcorder stabilizing system that offers fine adjustments and an improved balance system.
The camera stabilization systems works to provide stability during movement for dynamic and subjective camera shots.
It utilizes a balancing system that dampens the user’s body movement, providing a smooth, floating image appearance.
When Is A Glidecam Used?
Allure Films uses it for action shots so that we can smoothly follow your movements!
A Glidecam is also perfect for creative shots that capture the real feel of your guests mingling.
It can essentially be used as a guest’s eye-view as the filmmaker moves among, in and around crowds of people.
A Glidecam can also be used during the processional (if there’s room), during the photoshoot, and the reception.
Why Is It a ‘Must Have’?
Allure Films aims to produce wedding videos that best match your personality and taste, so it is important that we give every wedding video production the utmost attention to detail.
The Glidecam helps us catch those details while creating that cinematic look we all love. This will leave you with a wedding video that allows you to share your love story and the most amazing day of your life with everyone!
Check out some highlights from Alyssa & Isaac’s wedding that were shot with our Glidecam!
