Christine + Kevin (Teaser) PAFA

I always say my favorite people are the ones who are always concerned that you’ve eaten! On our timeline call before the wedding Christine said, we want to talk about something that’s very important to us! Food! I thought she was going to tell me to make sure I film it but instead she implored me to eat! I was told there would be so much amazing food and she wasn’t lying! Especially @xiwestevents who are not represented in this teaser but they definitely didn’t disappoint and deserve a shout out! I can’t say enough amazing things about these two! They are truly the kindest most generously sweet people! I absolutely loved this day! The culture, the colors, the story behind her dresses and how it was a nod to the blending of their Filipino and Chinese heritage! Not to mention the Lion Dance! I was so excited for this! And now I’m excited to be able to share it with all of you wonderful people! Please enjoy Christine and Kevin’s Teaser! And as always, stay tuned for more!!!

I know I sound like a broken record but I really do have the most amazing clients in the world! Samantha and Michael cornered me after the wedding to shower me with compliments and just wanted me to stay and hang out with them! This job makes me so thankful that I get to establish amazing relationships with people who end up becoming friends! Oh and what a pair! Samantha is sweet and lighthearted and you can see the way people love her and the way she loves is so genuine! She lights up the room when she walks in! Michael is funny and kind and I love the way he just adores Sam! They had a beautiful ceremony in front of the estate with a gorgeous view of the vineyards in the distance. Plus it was a treat getting to shoot with my friend @jennalynnphoto! My favorite part of the day was when we got these two alone for their couples session! They just laughed and smiled from ear to ear the whole time! I think it’s safe to say that everyone just wants the best for these two amazing souls and I agree with that sentiment! Thank you again to this happy couple for entrusting me with these most precious memories! I will forever think of you when I hear “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls” on the radio! Cheers to the happiest life together! Love your friends (and by friends I mean meeeee!!!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

When I think back to Maggie and Kyler’s wedding what I remember the most is the sweetness of the day and the light! It’s was such a gorgeous day! The way the golden light glistened during cocktail hour was my favorite! You’ll see why in a minute! The song I chose is called Glow which is very fitting! There’s so much I love about these two! They are both so kind, so sweet! (I don’t know how all of these amazing couples find me!) I love the way Maggie laughs! It’s not only adorable but it’s straight from the heart! You can see just how in love and precious these two are from this small glimpse of their wedding day! Their vows to each other were so tender! My favorite is what Kyler says at the end where he paints a picture in your mind of the two of them dancing across the kitchen floor! Gets me everytime! He is some kind of word smith! I should have him write these blurbs for me! It feels good to get this one off my chest! I’ve been excited about it since the day I filmed it! I mean that light! And now I’m so excited to be able to share it with all of you! And of course, to Maggie and Kyler! It was so much fun these last few weeks looking back on this most wondrous day and basking in the glow of your love for one another! Thank you for choosing me, as always it was an honor! Love your friends (and by friends I mean meeeee!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films! Now, grab some tissues, you’re gonna need em!
