Lily & Hoai | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Lily & Hoai :: Wedding Highlights

Lily & Hoai are our officially last wedding of the summer, and they were a great way to wrap the summer for us. What we really enjoyed from their wedding was how playful they are with one another. We noticed this especially during the open dancing. They just had a blast with one another, and you could really tell that they were in their own world… dancing like nobody was watching.

Kim & John | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Kim & John :: Wedding Highlights

Major props to Kim & John–they managed to close on a house all in the middle of wedding planning. And not only that, they finished enough work on it in time to use the wonderfully lit space for morning prep shots and first look. We love shooting in spaces with great light and minimal clutter, and this was exactly that.

Location aside, it was a pleasure to work with Kim & John. They were both great to work with, and we had a blast working alongside other friendors. Congrats again, you two!

Vy & David | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Vy & David :: Wedding Highlights

These days, it’s hard enough to find high school sweethearts yet Vy & David go back even farther than that. Having known each other since childhood, they’ve really been through so much together both as friends and as a couple. Because of this, it was so fitting that both of their vows ended with “I love you, and I like you” — just perfect.

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.

Hang & Dinh | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Hang & Dinh :: Wedding Highlights

The amount of fun that Hang & Dinh have during their grand entrance and first dance really should be relationship goals for anybody out there.
