We had a very small, intimate backyard wedding. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and the video highlight reel transported us back to that day, bringing all the feels along with it. I really loved Anne's communication, especially with our phone call a month before the wedding to work out the kinks. Absolutely ADORED her direction day-of. No wasted time and she made us look great in every photo! David was so slick with the camera work as well, half the time we didn't even know he was there! Kim did an amazing job editing our highlight video and really captured all the details in 3 minutes. He synced it well with the music we chose too (Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish). I highly recommend Something New and Blue team to capture your day!!!

I chose Anne and Dave as the videographers for my March 2023 wedding for two main reasons: (1) they…read moreoffered a video package that I wanted, that few others did, and at a reasonable price. It was really important to me to have a copy of the raw footage from my wedding, because I knew I was going to be too busy to remember the ceremony and the toasts, and all those other important moments. Anne and Dave offered a package that included this footage, and at a reasonable price. The other videographer I had found who offered this was charging an exorbitant amount. (2) I spoke with Anne before hiring her, and I really liked her. She responded to my email inquiry very quickly. When we talked about their packages, she gave me her honest opinion--that, for what I was looking for, one of their cheaper packages would be sufficient. She could have tried to upsell me, but the fact that she didn't showed me that she has integrity. I also just really liked her energy when I spoke with her. She seemed really earnest, cheerful, and supportive. I'm so pleased with the work that Anne and Dave did. They arrived early to the venue and worked nonstop until after the first dance. Our photographer seemed to enjoy working with them, to the extent that I thought they were already friends (but they'd all just met that day). Anne and Dave both had good suggestions for certain shots they wanted, and even recommended some shots to the photographer. Lastly, there was a point before the ceremony where I was extremely stressed and frustrated, and Anne came over under the guise of fixing my necklace, but I think she was also trying to help me take deep breaths. She wasn't being condescending or anything, it was just a natural extension of her calm energy. That moment helped ground me, and helped me feel like I had someone supporting me. I could cry just thinking about it, because she knew what I needed in the moment. We received our highlight video less than 2 months after the wedding, and it's so cute! I'm excited to go through the raw footage next. This experience has been 100% positive.

The team was absolutely incredible to work with and made sure to capture every single special moment of our wedding.

Travis and Anna are exceptional. I feel beyond lucky and blessed to have chosen 8 Kinds of Smiles…read moreas our videography team. Travis from the start was so professional and has a really chill, non anxiety inducing demeanor. I mention this because I was a very frantic, panicked bride, but he made me feel calm and relaxed even when we were running behind schedule. From the very start of our Zoom meeting, Travis was punctual and communicative, and laid out his contracts very clear. As the big day came closer, we worked together closely to work with the timeline and he assured me everything we needed captured will get done. On the day of, I was so fortunate to have both Anna and Travis there. I gotta say, even though it was my first time meeting Anna, I have so much gratitude for her. She was such an MVP. She made me feel so safe and taken care of, and I know she was there only as my videographer but being around her really felt like I was around a close friend. Whenever my hair fell apart, there she was with tons of bobby pins/elastics. When one of my bridesmaids dresses were too long, there she was with some magical tape and safety pins. You can tell that this husband and wife team are EXPERIENCED and whatever "fiascos" that may happen that day, they got you. It wasn't long before Travis came back with our highlights video, less than 2 months from our wedding day and it is my favorite video on planet earth. Everything captured was so aesthetically pleasing and the edits were so seamless. He also incorporated our chosen music SO WELL, it just was absolute perfection. I'm so excited to share it with friends and family and best believe I will be recommending 8 Kinds of Smiles to everyone. Thank you both again for making my day so magical.

We had little pockets of conversation throughout the event, and each interaction was so easy and effortless. They definitely brought great energy to the celebration. I'd love to work alongside D.

But as you can see from her email, didn't seem like a huge deal to lose a customer. Must be nice. Needless to say we will be going with someone else. Taking this as a blessing in disguise!

Wow, where to begin? Ok - starting with the general photos and vibe. When browsing for a photo…read morevendor, I'd been seeing a lot of airy pictures or color that was orangey - meh. I wanted something that looked like the cover of a romance novel. A romantic vibe. During this journey, we were introduced to this Lin and Jirsa (referred by a venue I think? Not quite now). Fast forward - I had an amazing experience with Juliana for our engagement photo shoot. Honestly, I wasn't even going to do the engagement photo shoot but the more I looked at Lin and Jirsas photos the more obsessed I got. Once you commit, you fill out a questionnaire and they even ask for inspo photos, good AND bad which I thought was cool! I'm so so so happy that Juliana will be with me on my upcoming wedding day. She was really great at coaching poses, which I was super nervous about. She showed photos in real time. Might I add, it's absolutely fascinating what settings on a camera, and someone holding a lighting stick can produce. The photos she showed me in real time looked like the magic that was produced in our viewing album! She was receptive to feedback about how I felt about myself in pics. Me: "My arm looks skinnier but when my hand is on my hip but I don't want to look like I'm trying to be skinny and have the same pose so like um, I don't know what I want." Juliana "I got you! Let's try this!" No hesitation. She also was very purposeful with the photos she took. She wasn't aimlessly snapping her camera with hopes of a good one - she was intentional and thoughtful. Julianas personality was great - engaging, funny, thoughtful. Her lighting assistant Diana (I think that was her name, so sorry I don't quite remember!) was super easy going too and took the direction of whatever vision Juliana had. The support team that emails you is very nice and efficient. I feel bad that I've not gotten back to them nearly as quickly as they replied to me! The original beach we selected Victoria Beach, ended up having super high tide so when we got there, she immediately had Plan B, no time wasted. When we got to the beach, we really wanted a picture with this seal we saw on a rock (from a safe distance of course so as to not bug). It looks like CGI but she got the pic!! She was climbing over rocks and really putting in effort to get good shots! At the end of the shoot I spontaneously wanted to get in the water and she happily snapped some shots and they came out great! (Visible in my post here). If you have any thoughts or concern about the cost or if it's a good idea - ITS THE BEST IDEA, do it!!! Before I ever saw their site (well, stared at it for hours) I never knew this was something I would want, or feel comfortable with. If you're getting married and are unsure because hey, weddings are insanely expensive, remember that your pics with live forever. So just commit, enjoy the process, and look forward to being absolutely in love with the magic this company creates!

We can't get over how cinematic and professional the finished video is. It brought back the memories of our big day and we laughed and cried when we were watching it.

From the very first consultation, Anatoliy had a gift for making us feel completely at ease. There was never a moment on our wedding day where we felt posed, stiff, or like we were performing for a lens. Instead, they moved with us, blended into the background when it mattered, and somehow always seemed to be in exactly the right place at the right moment. What came back to us weeks later helped us relive that special day. The photos and footage don't just document what happened, they actually captured how we felt. Every moment preserved exactly as it was. Almost a year out, those memories feel just as vivid and alive as the day itself. We are so deeply grateful. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel at ease and capture your special day in the most authentic way, look no further. Absolute perfection from start to finish.

They brought the perfect balance of calm, fun, efficiency, and authenticity to one of the most important days of our lives From the very start, they made us feel so taken care of. Communication was always clear, timely, and professional. They arrived early, stayed until the very end, and coordinated effortlessly with every other vendor and team at our wedding. They even used headsets to stay in sync with each other, seriously next-level professionalism! What really stood out was how much they went above and beyond for us.. without us even asking. When my wife's bridal party was running late, they managed the situation with so much kindness and grace. And throughout the day, whenever we were feeling stressed or overwhelmed, they would subtly play our first dance song during our private photo moments to help calm our nerves. It was thoughtful touches like this that truly made the day feel extra special and that they really cared. They always checked in on us to ask us if we were okay or needed breaks They also made sure all of our must-have photo ops were confirmed well in advance, and helped coordinate everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Their ability to direct and guide with a relaxed energy was exactly what we needed. And then the cherry on top! by the next day (Monday!) they had already delivered sneak peeks that were beautifully edited and ready to share. The photos are absolutely stunning and the sharing platform is seamless and easy to use. It's rare to find vendors who not only care about your big day, but also deliver at this level of excellence with so much heart and intention. We would hire them again and again for any photos we ever need in the future. If you're on the fence.. don't be. Definitely book them!! You'll be so glad you did. They are worth absolutely every penny and more. They don't just capture moments, they really elevate the entire wedding experience :)
