Joanna & Collin | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Joanna & Collin :: Same Day Edit

It’s been a minute since the last time we shot at the wonderful Strawberry Farms in Irvine, CA. The venue is just as beautiful as we remember, and over the weekend, we put together a same day edit for Joanna & Collin (who are such an amazingly sweet and down to earth couple). These always make us a little nervous, but the end result is always so worth it!

2018 Rewind | 8 Kinds of Smiles

2018 Rewind

2018 marked 8 years for us doing weddings, and since 8 is such an important number to us (it’s in the name!), I thought it might be nice do a recap video of moments from the many weddings we shot this past year. We’re so happy to have been a part of each one and are thankful for all the couples who trusted us to capture their big day in 2018. We’re excited for an even bigger and more epic 2019 and look forward to the amazing moments and smiles to come in the next year. Cheers, and happy new year!

Amanda & Joseph | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Amanda & Joseph :: Wedding Highlights

Amanda is definitely one of the sweetest girls you’ll meet while Joe is that guy that instantly becomes everybody’s best friend. It should be no surprise then that they make a perfect pairing and that their wedding was full of moments both funny and awesome. Weddings should be a celebration, not a performance, and Amanda & Joe’s wedding definitely lived up to that.

Marlene & John | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Marlene & John :: Wedding Highlights

It’s a little crazy to think that Marlene & John have been together since they were kids. Those kinds of relationships are hard to find in today’s world of dating apps. But hearing their vows, it all makes sense. They’ve been in love with each other for as long as they can remember and continue to be in love with each other despite, as they say, knowing each other fully.

Marie & Brent | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Marie & Brent :: Same Day Edit

We closed out our 2018 weddings with a same day edit up in Monterey for Marie & Brent’s big day. At first, things were looking grim as rain was expected for some major parts of the day. But just right before we departed to shoot portraits in the late afternoon, the skies cleared, and nature provided us with the beautiful shots you see toward the end of the video. +1 to nature for coming through for us at the very last minute, and congrats again to Marie & Brent! It was a pleasure to shoot you both as our final wedding of the year!

Cindy & Brian | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Cindy & Brian :: Wedding Highlights

A bit of rain didn’t stop Cindy & Brian from putting on an amazing October wedding. Some quick highlights that come to mind include a duck carving station during cocktail hour, indoor (somehow non-flammable) sparklers to end their first dance, and lots and lots of swigging on the dance floor that was a clear indication everybody was ready to have great time with the couple.

Valerie & Eric | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Valerie & Eric :: Wedding Highlights

If there’s one thing we really love about Valerie & Eric, it has to be how silly they are together. It’s such a natural and raw feeling that really carries across in their interactions with one another and how they portray on camera. Tustin Ranch Golf club of course was a beautiful venue, but it’s Valerie & Eric’s energy as a couple that really ties this whole highlights video together.

Melanie & Christopher | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Melanie & Christopher :: Wedding Highlights

In his speech, Chris’ best man told the story of when Chris first met Melanie when they were just teenagers. It was at a chance party and following their initial encounter, Chris paid close attention to the directions it took to get back to Melanie. You could say that Chris knew from the very start that Melanie was the one. He was lovestruck.
