My path to wedding filmmaking was shaped by a lifelong passion for storytelling and human connection. With a background in theatre, vocal performance, and even a touch of stand-up comedy, I’ve spent much of my life on stage, learning how to connect with an audience and evoke emotion. While I once thrived in front of the camera, I eventually discovered my true passion was behind it—quietly capturing life’s most meaningful moments with intention and artistry.

 

This foundation in performance gives me a unique perspective as a wedding videographer. I intuitively understand how moments unfold, how people move, and how emotion reads on camera. It allows me to subtly guide when needed—rarely to manufacture, but to elevate what’s already present.

​

My approach is warm, refined, and deeply personal. I believe the most beautiful moments aren’t orchestrated—they’re revealed. With an eye for natural elegance and a calming, confident presence, I make timeless, story-driven wedding films that are emotionally resonant and unobtrusive in style.

 

Based in New Jersey and serving Philadelphia and destination weddings, I specialize in documentary-style wedding videography that prioritizes authentic emotion over trend. To me, it’s not just about telling your story, It’s about making you feel it. Every frame, every detail from the music I chose to the placement of your vows is intentionally crafted to move you, And I'm not satisfied until Im confident you are going to cry!

​

Weaving together the visual narrative of your day is like putting together a beautiful, chaotic, emotion-packed puzzle — one where I have no control over the pieces but somehow, when it’s all said and done, the story fits together as perfectly as the two of you!

 

At the heart of every film I craft is a love story worth remembering. My goal is to preserve not just the beauty of your day, but the feeling of it—so that years from now, you’re transported back to every meaningful moment, effortlessly and honestly.

ABOUT ME...

- I love a good cup of coffee, Im pretty sure that's the way to my heart, that and Dad jokes! - I keep a pair of roller-skates (quads) in my trunk at all times, because you never know! - I love trying new restaurants with the company of my friends (which thankfully to your benefit, most of them are Photographers!) - My Mom and Dad are my biggest fans and they get sneak peaks of all of my films! - My dream home is an A Frame Cabin with a window from floor to ceiling and the most breathtaking view! - My most favorite show of all time is LOST! - My office is a cozy couch, laptop and a little table my cat squeezes under so she can sit on my lap!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT ME...

"From the first phone call Alyssa has felt more like family than someone I just happened to hire to shoot my wedding. She is so genuine and the conversations we had up to the big day felt like talking to your best friend. Additionally, her professionalism and confidence is something that I never had to question; not a single time. Alyssa surpassed my expectations on both a personal and professional level. 

 

May I add that my wedding day would have LITERALLY fallen apart without her. When my wedding day took an unexpected turn due to sudden rainy and dark weather, Alyssa was confident and prepared! Right when I began to think the day couldn't continue she swooped in and provided that personal and professional relationship she worked so hard to build; just in time for when I needed someone the most. She took the time to talk to me like a friend and assured me that everything would be okay. Immediately she proceeded to make good on her word. Just like that she sprung into action and pulled out these large lights that provided the light we needed to continue. On top of that she incorporated the rain into the video as if it was the best decoration that nature could have gifted us for our wedding. 

 

Because of her I gained two things: an amazing friend that I can call whenever, even to this day and a cinematic masterpiece of a wedding video that I just happen to replay every week since she delivered it to me!"

ABOUT MY CAT

Let's be real, what you really want to know about is my cat!

 

Aria is the unsung hero! You can often find her on my lap or sprawled out over my computer while I'm trying to work. Like she is currently doing right this very moment as I'm typing her bio (I took a picture if you don't believe me) She presses all the wrong buttons and gets mad at me when I try to adjust her a little so I can get my editing done. I guess she thinks I can put a roof over our head with my good looks and wit! But I wouldn't change it for the world!

​

You can find more Aria content in my Instagram stories if this adorable picture of her isn't enough!​​
