Hello! I'm Alisha Cerny! I'm a wedding filmmaker and storyteller based out of Lincoln, Nebraska. The world is full of rare, unique, and authentic people. I absolutely love capturing them on the day they have planned for, forever, with the one they will be with forever. How cool is it to be able to cement the legacy of your wedding day. How cool is it to see your wedding day as a cinematic work of art. Because that's what your love for each other is. From the grandest of churches to an intimate venue, you deserve to have your story told. You deserve to have your story heard. You deserve to look back 50 years from now and watch and hear yourself recite your vows, watch your first dance, see the look on each others face when you see each other for the first time on the day you become husband and wife. It's an absolute honor to travel near and far and have the opportunity to meet couples and provide them with that memory in an authentic, cinematic, and raw way.
