"LETTING YOUR MOMENTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES"

From the moment I walked through the door, I felt like Bridget’s adopted sister! I instantly bonded with her and her mom — and spending the day with them was a hoot and a half! Bridget is one of those people who sees the glass half full. She speaks with so much grace, and she is just FULL of joy!! And Brett is every bit as kind and thoughtful as she is. You can see how much he loves her — it’s written all over his face. 🥹 They truly compliment each other! Their wedding day at Congress Hall was… perfection. Cocktail hour on the lawn, golden sunshine, and smiles stretched ear-to-ear on absolutely everyone who loves them.  Unfortunately Bridget’s dad couldn’t be with us, so I did my best to honor him as much as I could. I’m confident this will be a memory they both will treasure for the rest of their lives and get to share with their future children and grandchildren.  To the happiest couple! Thank you for finding me, making me feel like family and giving me this honor! It was truly a pleasure getting to know both of you and molding your memories into a keepsake!

Kelsey and Tyler tied the knot at the beautiful Bonnet Island Estate, and I still can’t get over how perfectly the day reflected who they are—kind, grounded, and head-over-heels in love. From the sun sparkling off the water to the happy tears and energetic dance floor, this was one of those weddings that makes you believe in love all over again. My favorite part of the day was their handwritten vows, they painted a beautiful picture of their love story. Filming it felt like being let in on the sweetest secret ever! And just when I thought it couldn’t get sweeter… their dog made a guest appearance for portraits (yes, cue the collective “awww”), and they raised a flag with their pup’s face on it at the flagpole like the true VIP he is. Iconic behavior. Congratulations again you guys! I am so thankful to know you and to have shared in your special day! I’m so excited to FINALLY get to share your love story with the world!

Sarah and Richard got ready for their big day at her mom’s beach house and it was so beautiful, with a view of the ocean to boot! It also had an elevator which was super exciting for me and my heavy gear(my knee’s thank you!) From the minute I walked in the door there was a palpable sense of happiness! Lots of laughter and smiles, not to mention all the beautiful natural light (which is super exciting to me!) You really get a sense from these two how important family is to them, and there was a deep love shared by everyone in attendance! We traveled to a few different spots for their photo session but my favorite part was during sunset, right behind the Icona with all the warm glowy light! You can never go wrong with a sunset session! While I was editing this film I tried to honor Sarah’s father’s memory with the placement of footage and the words I chose in particular places, I hope that comes through. After meeting Richard myself I agree that her father would have loved him and been so proud of Sarah. To the happy couple, I am so happy for the both of you and I enjoyed every minute of the day I spent with you. You are both two amazing humans and I am so honored you chose me to capture your day! Cheers to happily ever after! Love your friends (and by friends I mean meeee!!!!!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

On the morning of Kenzie and Jame’s wedding the heavens opened and it down-poured! But that didn’t ruin their day, not even for a moment! Even when we had to postpone the Ceremony a bit! Kenzie and James were still in good spirits and I was so proud of them! The weather and the lighting the rest of the day was absolutely gorgeous!!! The speeches and hand written vows were perfection!!!! The right amount of humor and heart! It’s funny because this film is very happy, the music and sound bites are very lighthearted, but I still found myself crying while I was editing! Is it just me? Let me know if you cried in the comments! And special shout out to the light beaming through the window during the best man’s speech! These two were an absolute dream! Everything they did together was adorable and fun! I could hear us laughing in the background as I was editing! Especially the heel jump and click James does during sunset and sparklers! What’s funny to me about that is during the initial call I always tell my couples I’m never going to make them feel like they are acting! And I use the example, I’m not going to say, now dip her and kiss her and jump up in the hair and click your heels together and spin around and smile at the camera!!!! He did that all on his own! To Kenzie and James, thank you for entrusting me with your memories! It’s always an honor and a privilege to be invited to share these precious moments with you!

Bringing you back to the beach with this one! I’m running out of ways to talk about how amazing and sweet my couples are! (But I will do my best) When I think about Jenna and Tyler the word smiley comes to mind! They are always smiling! They are so gentle and kind with each other and everyone around them! Oh! And just wait until you hear Dad’s speech! Your heart-strings will be tugged and there might be some tears welling up in your eyes if you’re a big sap like me! I’m really excited to share this with the world! (And by world I mean the 2,259 of my followers!) Finally, to the happy couple, it was such a pleasure spending your special day with you! You guys are pretty amazing! I hope you treasure this film that I definitely put my whole heart into! Love your friends (and by friends I mean me!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

What a happy day with such a sweet couple! Shannon and Kevin are an absolute delight! I didn’t feel like I was working at this wedding! They took care of me like I was a guest! (Thank you Shannon for introducing me to Golden Berries btw, I am obsessed with them!) The location couldn’t have been more perfect with the beach right across the street from The Peter Shields Inn! It was only a 30 second walk for the most picturesque backdrop! I loved the intimacy of the day as well! It was just a sweet time to break bread and spend time together with the people Shannon and Kevin love most! Family means everything to these two and it really shows in the way Shannon and Kevin talk about her Daddy! Thank you so much for entrusting me with such precious memories! I will treasure them as much as you do! Love your friends (and by friends I mean meeeee!!!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films! P.S. Seriously everyone need to go out and buy some Golden Berries!

Enjoy the sunny Florida weather from Chelsea and David’s wedding day! They got married at the beautiful Fenway Hotel in Dunedin (and don’t make the same mistake I did and say that like the descendants of the Numenoreans from Lord Of The Rings! Haha!) What an amazing couple! They spent the whole weekend worrying about anybody but themselves! It was an honor to share this special moment in time with them! Enjoy! And as always, stay tuned for more!

On this dreary day Im bringing you allllllll the light that Lizzie and Adam radiate wherever they go! These two amazingly wonderful humans somehow found each other and made the world a little bit brighter! This was particularly why I chose to share the verses from Matthew in their film, I couldn’t have said it better myself! “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is nothing better than a proud parent talking about their son or daughter! “She will always be my little girl.” Uggghhhh doesn’t that just get you right in the heart! It pulls all of my strings! Especially while he’s walking his baby down the aisle! I think my favorite part of what I do (and I have many) is the joy it brings! I was texting with Lizzie this morning, she informed me that she would be sharing the video with her family today (which is why I can FINALLY share it with you!) and I told her how her and Adams joyfulness was contagious and she said “Life’s too short not to be happy!” So in conclusion (Haha!) what Im trying to say (and overexplaining, because that’s what I do!) I hope this film brings you a little bit of that light and fills your heart the way these two seem to radiate to everyone in their orbit! And finally, to the happy couple, thank you for not only entrusting me with your love story but making me your friend! I hope you cherish this film and it brings you back to that day every time you watch it! It’s always an honor to be included in such intimate moments of someone’s life! Im thankful and blessed!
