A Magical Horticulture Center Wedding

October 10, 2017 Blog, Horticulture Center

From the moment Morgan took her first step down the aisle to meet her future husband, Justin, their wedding felt like something out of a storybook.

Philadelphia-based wedding planners Lauren James Events played a huge role in helping the bride and groom’s fairytale wedding dreams come to life. After a classic car ride from her childhood home to Fairmount Park, Morgan met Justin under a stunning wrought-iron archway wrapped in flowers and vines. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows to one another in front of their friends and family in the midst of the majestic and whimsical gardens of the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center.

After the ceremony, the princess bride and her prince were taken away on a horse-drawn carriage to join their loved ones for a magical evening of celebration. Their reception was held underneath a tent on the Horticulture Center property, filled with violet- and lavender-colored florals designed from the vision of Petah Bashano Event Design.

Not only were the decorations stunning, but one decoration in particular was looking especially delicious! The Donut Tree (yes, you read that right!) was definitely a hot spot for photos and satisfying your sweet tooth after the main course. Philip Gabriel Photography captured several great shots around The Donut Tree, as well as countless beautiful moments throughout the evening.

When the wedding party and guests weren’t chatting and reminiscing about stories of the bride and groom, they were dancing the night away to the sensational musical performance by The Vincent James Band.

Fireworks capped off the magical evening, and Morgan and Justin were caught stealing more than one kiss in the middle of the show! Congratulations to the happy couple, and best wishes for a life of happiness together!

What Are The Top Wedding Photo Locations In Philadelphia?

April 13, 2017 Blog

Allure Films has had the privilege of attending countless weddings throughout Philadelphia. We’re thrilled that so many couples have chosen us to document their special day!

One of the first questions that most of our couples ask during their initial wedding video consultation is, “What are the most popular wedding photo locations in Philadelphia?” It’s an excellent question to ask, since Philly is full of incredible places to steal kisses with your partner for life!

Fortunately, some of the top wedding photo locations are situated right in the heart of the city. Take a look at this clip from a summer wedding where we were able to capture stunning images of the happy couple in Rittenhouse Square, at the Art Museum, on Broad Street, and in front of the Academy of Music:

The Art Museum is arguably one of the most iconic landmarks in Philadelphia. Most people recognize it thanks to the infamous “Rocky pose,” but hidden within its nooks and crannies are countless stunning photo opportunities other than just throwing two fists in the air!

With City Hall in the background and a conveniently located median, most of our couples request a stop along Broad Street. It’s the perfect place for a romantic dip-and-kiss photo; despite the city traffic crawling by on either side, the world seems to stand still and focus on the two of you.

Rittenhouse Square is a tree-lover’s paradise. Flowering bushes are shaded by centuries-old branches. Fountains and sculptures pop out of hidden corners. You and your new Mr. or Mrs. will feel like you’re lost in a never-ending garden, as the city noise seems to fade away.

Philadelphia has such a rich history. Many street lamps are still lit by gas-fueled flames, like the Academy of Music. Built 160 years ago, this stunning structure has seen performances by some of the most infamous musicians and performers of its time. Add a bit of your own story to its history by snapping a few photos in front of its façade.

No matter where you choose to say “I Do,” you can trust Allure Films to find plenty of stunning spots along the way to snap a few photos and record a stolen kiss or two. We’re here to help you make your day as magical as possible, and to capture every moment on film!

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 & Thomas' Picture Perfect Wedding in Philadelphia

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?
