Another amazing film AND couple in the books! Laura + Sean are, you guessed it, the sweetest couple! (I know I’m a blessed lady!) And if you don’t believe me just listen to the BM and MOH’s toasts! 

It was truly an incredible day at Willow Creek Winery with these two and their wonderful friends and family! The light was perfect! The couple was perfect! The venue was perfect! (I still have to go back and drink some wine, who wants to come?!)

Congratulations again to the happy couple! Thank you for entrusting me with your love story! I enjoyed every minute of it! From your friends (and by friends I mean me!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films! Cheers!

Now get yourself some tissues! We have another crier on our hands! And Happy New Year! Cheers to another amazing year full of love!
