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.

Everything was communicated clearly from start to finish. Very professional and easy to work with. The final video and the instagram reel turned out absolutely adorable -- it captured all the special moments perfectly and had such a sweet, heartwarming feel. You can truly see the attention to detail and creativity in the editing. Travis even went the extra mile to ensure it was done to our liking. We'll cherish all the videos forever and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, beautiful work!

From the very beginning of our planning process, choosing our videographer felt like a big decision…read moreand 8 Kinds of Smiles was one of the very first vendors we booked. We were extremely picky when it came to selecting our vendors, and some took weeks of consideration, but the moment we saw Travis's work, we knew immediately he was the one we wanted to capture our wedding day. Working with Travis and his wife, Anna, was such a great experience! They are incredibly sweet, kind, and easy to be around, and they worked seamlessly alongside our other vendors. Their calm, friendly presence made the day feel effortless, and we never once felt uncomfortable or overwhelmed. When we received our wedding highlight and full video, we were completely overwhelmed with emotion. Watching it truly felt like we were reliving the best day of our lives all over again. Every moment, emotion, and detail was captured so thoughtfully and beautifully, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories preserved in such a meaningful way. We have zero regrets about choosing Travis and Anna, and we cannot recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles highly enough to anyone looking for a videography team that is not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely kind and wonderful to work with.

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.

Wish we could have experienced the rave reviews that everyone else had - just to get a phone…read moreconsultation I felt like I had to keep following up with them. Booked a call with Shilpa, and then today she is totally unreachable (including anyone at the studio). This was for my parent's golden anniversary and this group was the first on my mom's list. Received an email response from her explaining about covid and last minute emergencies, which I get. Stuff happens, but next time a simple email/text/smoke signal would be just common courtesy. 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!

They produced a 5-minute wedding video, Instagram trailer, and a full ceremony edit. I must say that we got our IG trailer a week after the wedding and we were dumbfounded how fast they edited the video! We got our highlight video a month after and they NAILED it! 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. Everyone who watched it commented on the quality of work and the amount of effort that was put into the editing process. We can't thank them enough for doing such an awesome job and I can't imagine having someone else instead of them as our videographers!

Sorry in advance for the LONG review, there are just not enough words to express how happy we are with our wedding films! From start to finish, Anatoliy & Susie exceeded all of our expectations. The final videos beautifully captured every highlight and precious memory from our special day, and we honestly can't stop watching them. Each time we watch, it feels like we're reliving those magical moments all over again. One of the most important things we were looking for in a videographer was someone who could authentically capture the emotions and moments of our wedding day in an elegant, documentary-style so that we could have a keepsake that we could show to our future children and re-watch to relive our story. And Anatoliy Kim Weddings did just that! Working with Anatoliy & Susie was an absolute joy! They are professional, communicative, and genuinely made us feel comfortable throughout the filming process (even with both of us being a little awkward in front of the camera)! Their artistic style is stunning, and we especially loved the drone shots of our venue and the thoughtful transitions, which added such an elegant and cinematic touch. Anatoliy & Susie coordinated seamlessly with our photographer from San Diego, making the entire day feel effortless and stress-free. What we truly appreciate is how they captured the essence of us as a couple. They showcased our love, joy, and personalities while making the footage timeless and cinematic. We also loved the playful touches they've included, like the groom's favorite anime theme song and funny moments from the day like when we realized the groom had the wedding ring on the wrong hand! We wholeheartedly recommend Anatoliy Kim Weddings to anyone looking for a videographer who will not only document your day beautifully but also create something you'll cherish forever. These videos are priceless keepsakes, and we are so grateful for the care, talent, and creativity they poured into every frame. We can't wait to share them with our friends, family, and even our future children!

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 :)
