These two were made for the silver screen! Raquel and Maksim are absolutely adorable—you can see it in every single interaction between them. I barely needed to give them any instruction! They celebrated their beautiful day at the lovely Holly Hedge Estate, surrounded by its lush landscaping, charming stone architecture, and that iconic historical fountain that feels straight out of a fairytale. Everywhere you turn there’s a picturesque scene to capture—and with a couple this ready for their close-up, we made the most of every corner! My only complaint? I had so much good footage of just the two of them, it was hard to fit it all in—but as Tim Gunn would say, I had my “make it work moment!” A day full of smiles, laughter, and love everywhere you turned. What more could you ask for?! It was such a joy to witness it all—and even more of a joy to celebrate two people as wonderful this pair! And lastly, to the happy couple! I am so happy for the both of you! It was so much fun spending the best day of your lives with you! From your friends (And by friends, I mean meeeeeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

Im over the moon about this wedding at Mansion at Oyster Bay! The day itself holds so many joyful memories for me! Plus Taylor and Scott are so adorable together! I was really excited about the fountain in the Courtyard (if you’ve seen my work, you know how much I love a good fountain moment), and the property offered so many majestic spots for portraits throughout the day. These two are truly the sweetest, and their personalities made every aspect of the day just as sweet. They have a beautiful love story but I’ll let them tell it to you in their own words! I couldn’t possibly do it justice! I think my favorite moments from the day were the golden glow from the sun that hit the Bride and Groom when they met at the tip of the aisle, and you can’t forget that epic spin during their first dance with all their adoring fans cheering in the background! Please enjoy this little peak into their first day as Husband and Wife! And finally, to the happy couple! Thank you for finding me all the way in NJ and entrusting me with this memory! Cheers to Happily Ever After! Love your friends (And by friends, I mean meeeeeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

Not a traditional venue… just a backyard filled with love, tacos, and one very happy couple. Jaimie and Josh’s day felt so warm and personal from start to finish. From the taco truck to the fire pit, every little detail added to the cozy atmosphere and made the whole day full of heart. Oh, and their letters to each other had me crying tears of joy the moment I put them to music! These two have the kind of chemistry that radiates joy and laughter. You can feel how much fun they have together just by being in the same space, and it made the entire day effortless! I’m so excited to share their love story with all of you! And to the happy couple! Thank you for entrusting me with this precious day! It was a joy to be with you and witness your first day as husband and wife! Love your friends (And by friends, I mean meeeeeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

Before I talk about this happy couple I first have to tell you the story of how I met Francesca! (It’s important!) She remembers it better than me but I started chatting her up at a Wawa many years ago and she has been following me ever since and knew one day I’d film her wedding! (Clearly my long con is working! Mua ha ha!) Enter Tom, I actually don’t know how they met, but they did! Because clearly it ends with a wedding! Which brings us to the big day! They said their “I do’s” in a beautiful Ceremony at Merion Caterers and danced the night away thanks to the Dinardo Brothers! Their handwritten vows will tug at your heartstrings and their larger than life personalities will make you smile from ear to ear! It was such a fun day with these two and it didn’t hurt that my dear photographer friend Ted Felsberg entertained us all day long! This film is a little extra special to me on a personal note, it’s the first time I got my hands on something I’ve been dreaming about (and patiently waiting for) with my friends at CHPTRS. I told them about a score pack from Multiply Sound that I had been using and said, “You guys should make one—you’d crush it!” Well… they DID! (A secret I kept for a long time) And it’s incredible! This film sounds like it was professionally scored, and I’m obsessed! I could not be more excited to finally share this one with you! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry! So get your tissues ready! And finally, to the happy couple! Thank you for entrusting me with your love story! And welcome to the neighborhood! Love your friends (And by friends, I mean meeeeeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

Okay, so on this wedding day, I was the other Alyssa. 😂 I told the bride early on that I would just not respond to my name — because let’s be real, if someone was yelling “Alyssa!” they were 1000% talking to her! (And honestly? Fair.) But I felt like more than just the other Alyssa that day — I felt like a friend. Because Alyssa and Nicholas are those people you just instantly click with. It must be an Alyssa thing! 😉 They’re kind and thoughtful and generous, and you can feel it in your soul from the second you meet them. The love they have for their people is so genuine, and it showed in every single moment and detail. This wedding was the definition of a backyard dream — intimate, dreamy. Every detail was intentionally planned with love. My favorite part was the drink truck! Beautiful AND yummy! Well… the truck was beautiful, and the drinks were yummy. (Just to be clear) I loved it in the backdrop and got to try some kind of blueberry lemonade mocktail which was soooo refreshing on a hot day! Also — you know how I feel about handwritten vows. 😭 Theirs were absolute perfection. And don’t even get me started on bride prep!! Alyssa let me capture every single dreamy shot my little filmmaker heart desired, and the lighting was chef’s kiss! Totally my jam! I’m really excited to finally be able to share this with all of you! And, to the happy couple! Thank you for entrusting me with your memories! It is always an honor! I hope you cherish this moment for years to come — just like I’ll cherish the joy of being part of your beautiful day. You two are pure magic.

Oh happy day! Crystal + Christopher wrote the most heartfelt handwritten vows and absolutely killed it. And let me just say—“Guys, we have a crier!” (I loooove when the groom cries… is that weird? 🥹) I may have shed a tear or two myself! You really can’t go wrong with the scenic backdrop at Rock Island Lake Club—the sunsets there are next-level gorgeous, and this day was no exception. They are such an amazing couple, and we honestly had the best day together. From laughs to sweet little moments, everything about being with them just felt easy and fun. Plus, they think I’m funny (which made it so easy to get those big laughs on camera)… though honestly, I don’t think they needed any help in that department! Since Im pretty sure no one reads these Im going to stop rambling now! And to the happy couple! What a day it was—full of laughs, a few (happy!) tears, and so many little moments I’ll be thinking about for a long time. You two are such an amazing pair, and spending the day with you honestly felt like hanging out with old friends. Thank you for letting me capture all of it—I’m so grateful you trusted me with these memories! Love your friends (And by friends, I mean meeeeeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

This film is a little different from what you’re used to seeing from me—it’s more lighthearted, more playful… honestly, it’s just pure JOY. Which makes sense, because Ashley and Zach are basically walking sunshine ☀️ These two tied the knot at the incredible Artesano Gallery and I have to say—I’m fully obsessed. There are so many cool nooks and crannies to explore there, it was a dream come true! When I think back to their wedding day, the thing that stands out the most is all. the. laughing. Ashley and Zach have this amazing dynamic—everything they do is print ready and adorable! I barely had to say a word! And I have to shout out Zach’s dance with his mom… it was so unexpected and so full of energy, I honestly can’t describe it. You’ll know exactly what I mean once you watch the film! So excited to finally share this one with you 💛 And to the happiest couple, thank you for entrusting me with this amazing memory! I had a blast!

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!
