was my first medium as a visual artist
Video is how I communicate
I’ve realized through the years that video is just how I communicate. Even as a kid, I had that camcorder in hand so I could drop into the artist mind of truly seeing. Making videos helps me taste and express the world around me. I want to show people: “Hey, I see you, and you’re awesome. Watch this so you can see what I see.” My favorite part about working with video is the in between moments where I can laugh and enjoy the people I work with. I love meeting each couple and instantly seeing why they are special. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story.
cheers, Alyson
How it all
began
Filming since 1990
Being the 90’s child that I am, home-video was my first medium as a visual artist. So you could say I’ve been doing this work forever or at least since my friends (and barbies) became movie stars. My productions never ceased throughout each stage of life, and in college my cousin asked me to film her wedding. However, the lightbulb “I could do this as a profession” didn’t go off because I was pursuing a degree in Biology at the time.
crossroads
I completed the degree, and soon after I moved to North Carolina. In my first few months living on the beach, I met a crossroads. I didn’t feel the inspiration to continue in the direction of marine conservation, and I felt a longing to live a more creative life. To grad-school, or not grad-school, that was the question.
That’s when I met Allie Miller. In the aisle of a small town Hobby Lobby, Allie took interest in one of my paintings (cue me trying to live a more creative life). We became fast friends. She was a wedding photographer, and pretty soon everything clicked that I should turn my longtime love of video into something special.
creative life
The rest is history. For the past 9 years, I have traveled to places like Sweden, Aruba, and Alaska to name a few to create films for weddings and businesses. Choosing to live a more creative life has fostered many great adventures. Alpine Tree Films began on the beach in North Carolina, but I now reside in the small mountain town of Buena Vista, Colorado. Life is good. Thank you for taking time to be here.
I've always had a camera in hand

As a videographer we knew that she would be moving around quietly in the background for most of the day and wow, she is a ninja! However, she is full of life and energy that we truly adored on our special day. She has an incredible eye for detail and we are so excited to share her video with our out of town family and friends who couldn't attend.

If I could sum up Alyson's work in one word it would be "excellence." Not only is she someone who is kind, humble, easy to work with, and all-around-lovely, she is someone who treats her art with the highest form of effort and creativity. Our wedding video truly exceeded our expectations, and every time I watch it I feel that it perfectly captures the same feelings and beauty of our wedding day.

Alyson's services were hands down the best thing we spent money on for our entire wedding. We watch our video often and listening to the voices of our loved ones, hearing our songs play, and watching us give our vows is something that snaps you right back into the moment that photos alone struggle to do. Trust Alyson and her vision of capturing your perfect day and you will be amazed at what this beautiful, fun loving human creates!

Alpine Tree Films is an absolute MUST for your wedding. When anyone asks me about my experience with Alyson, I don't really have much to say because I literally never even noticed her presence at my wedding day. However, when we got our video back, you would have thought she was glued to my hip the whole day! She's a magician!
Having a video to go back and relive the most special day, is an absolute treasure! Don't miss out!
