When Alyssa and Tony asked us to come down to St. Augustine, Florida and film their Treasury on the Plaza wedding, we already knew the building. It’s hard to miss: the red trimmed tower rising over the Plaza de la Constitución, the cathedral right next door, and Matanzas Bay stretching out behind it. What we didn’t know yet was how hard this group was going to party.

A Treasury on the Plaza Wedding in Historic St. Augustine

Treasury on the Plaza sits in the middle of America’s oldest city, and it wears that history in every room. Stone walls, iron railings, tall arched windows, and a winding staircase that gave us some of our favorite frames of the day. Alyssa’s bridal portraits on that staircase, with her pearl draped gown and deep red bouquet against the old stone, set the tone for everything that followed.

A Casino, a Tarot Reader, and Hora Loca

This was not a sit down and wait for the cake kind of wedding. Guests moved between blackjack tables, a tarot reader, a charcuterie cart and a coffee cart, and then Hora Loca hit and the room went off. The dance floor never emptied. Our job was to stay right in the middle of it and catch the real moments as they happened: the laughs, the reactions, and the friends who had been waiting all night for that one song.

Wedding Films That Feel Like Reality TV

Every Bernardi Films wedding is directed by Luke Bernardi and built around the people in the room. We sit down with guests for on camera interviews and cut them between real moments from the day, using real audio instead of slow motion over a trending song. The result plays more like a Netflix documentary about your wedding than a highlight reel, and it’s the kind of film couples actually watch again. Alyssa and Tony’s teaser gives you the energy of the night. The full film is on the way.
