About

8 Kinds of Smiles offers wedding videography services. We're based in Orange County & Los Angeles in Southern California and are also available for travel.

The goal of 8 Kinds of Smiles is to move beyond simple event documentation and to truly capture the emotion, energy, and personality of the event and couple. The special events of our lives should not be simply documented by a camera sitting on a tripod but captured in a way that truly instills the emotion and energy of the event and its participants in the final video piece. This is truly the spirit of 8 Kinds of Smiles and why it exists.

5 stars!

We cannot recommend 8 Kinds of Smile highly enough! Our very first check-in leading up to the wedding, Travis was organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure our vision came to life. He took the time to understand what mattered most to us, which made the entire planning process stress-free.
From the early morning preparations until the very last dance of the night, Travis and Mai were by our sides capturing every single moment. They both made us feel completely comfortable in front of the lens. We were so impressed by their stamina and passion; they truly spent the entire day with us, ensuring not a single memory was missed. They managed to be everywhere at once while remaining completely unobtrusive.
What truly sets Travis apart, however, is his commitment to the final product. It was clear that he took his time editing our highlight video, treating it like a piece of art rather than just a project to rush through. Every transition, song choice, and clip was perfectly timed and intentional.
The wait was 100% worth it to receive a film that feels so polished and personal. You can tell he put a lot of heart into the post-production process to make sure the story of our day was told perfectly. If you want a videographer who is hardworking on the day and meticulous in the studio, look no further! C+M 10.18.25

Beautiful Videos!

We loved working with 8 Kinds of Smiles! Sean, Brandon, Travis, and the entire team were all wonderful to work with. Their artistry really shined--they helped us feel comfortable, cared for, and fully in the moment, all while capturing the most creative, heartfelt, and beautiful shots. When we watched our wedding video, we were so touched by how thoughtfully they preserved the emotion and spirit of the day. They truly have a gift for finding those meaningful moments and bringing them to life. We couldn't recommend them more!

Amazing Wedding Videographer!

Travis did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing our outdoor wedding! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. The video he created is nothing short of stunning—it perfectly captures the emotions, energy, and joy of the entire day. His attention to detail and creativity really stood out, as he used a variety of angles and perspectives to showcase every key moment and all the little ones in between. Travis has an incredible eye for storytelling, and his ability to seamlessly piece together all the highlights of the night made it feel like we were reliving the experience all over again. Whether it was the ceremony, the speeches, the first dance, or the fun on the dance floor, he captured it all beautifully. He really understood the vibe we were going for and turned it into a masterpiece that we’ll treasure forever. If you're looking for a videographer who goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, Travis is your guy. We couldn't be happier with the result, and we’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

February 2024 Wedding

We were fortunate to have 8 Kinds of Smiles as our wedding videographer, a decision we made almost a year before our wedding in February 2024. Their professionalism, transparency about their various video packages, and punctuality were commendable. Travis was always quick to respond to our queries, which was greatly appreciated with so many unknowns during the planning process. Meeting Anna on the wedding day was a joy, and she instantly felt like family. As a bride without sisters, I felt a special bond with Anna, who guided us through our various location changes with grace. She made sure that my dress was put on right and coordinated with the bridesmaids and the videographer and photographer team for the grand entrance.

One of the many reasons we were thrilled with our choice was the bonus of Travis being a licensed drone pilot, which allowed us to have a breathtaking aerial view of our reception venue. But what truly blew us away was the quality of the video reel. The results exceeded our expectations! Travis and Anna's support for over 10 hours was admirable, and their meticulous attention to the finest details throughout the day was evident in the final product. The video was nothing short of stunning, and they beautifully captured all our special moments and emotions. We took a week after the wedding to record our personal vows since we ran out of time during the wedding day, but they reminded us to send the file and incorporated into the video beautifully! I wholeheartedly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles as Cinematic Wedding Storytellers to couples in search of a dedicated and talented professional to immortalize their wedding day.

Our Memorable Day Highlighted!

Travis and Anna were awesome videographers. There was not a lot to prepare for leading up to the wedding. They worked well with our photographers to get all the shots they needed for their wedding-highlight and to capture almost every second of the day. The highlight they put together for us was amazing and I don't think I've skipped a day without watching yet. Our and friends and family could not get enough the amazing video they put together. Thank you guys so much!

I would definitely recommend these two to capture all the wedding moments for you.

Reliving our best day with 8 kinds of smile

10/10 PICK 8 KINDS OF SMILE TO CAPTURE YOUR PERFECT DAY!!!

Nothing but positive energy and a good time with Travis and Anna! Our wedding planner recommended many videographers, but we fell in love with the work of 8 kinds of smile. What stood out from the start was his video skill and style, the ability to capture the happiest of moments, telling a love story in short snippets. Travis was so friendly and easy to work with, he was organized and responsive to our emails, and we felt we were in good hands from start to finish! We felt so comfortable in front of the camera with Travis and Anna. He gave good suggestions and pointers on things to do for content, and we put full trust in him and followed his lead, and when we saw the final product, we were blown away!

He arrived day of our wedding with such positive energy!! He directed us through the process. We expected our video to be good, but when we saw it, we were over the moon! The video was delivered to us in such timely manner, we didn’t even expect to get it back so soon. It’s truly been an honor working with 8 kinds of smile, and we are beyond grateful for choosing Travis and his team to help capture our perfect day.

Thank you for the memories, 8 Kinds of Smile!!!!

Simply Incredible

Travis and Anna are amazing people. We actually met them at a different wedding and were blown away by the final product. It was an easy choice to reach out to them for our own wedding.
The quality of their work was apparent in every part our wedding. Even our photographer had nothing but positive things to say about them. They were very accommodating to our bridal party and guests, always offering to take pictures for them and overall just being pleasant people to be around. It was easy to feel natural around them since they are cool people to just shoot the breeze with.
They were quick to produce our final video which has been shared profusely to our friends and family. They captured our the essence of our special day and now we get to relive it as often as we want.
I would easily recommend them to anyone looking for any videography needs and would give more stars if possible.

We love 8 Kinds of Smiles!

8 Kinds of Smiles captured all the special moments from our wedding to relive for a lifetime! Travis and his assistant were so kind, observant, patient, helpful, and flexible. My husband and I were absolutely in love with our wedding video. Our package included a 4-minute highlights video and 2 hours of raw footage. The highlights video was just the right length for sharing with friends and family, and the raw footage captured so many sweet and silly moments we forgot about or didn’t get a chance to see during our wedding. We are incredibly impressed with their work ethic and talent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result!

Amazing service and experience.

Travis and Anna are an amazing team. They made our wedding day into an event which both me and my wife can remember forever. My wife found 8 Kinds of Smiles through social media and she shared some clips with me. Their style of filming and editing caught my eye almost immediately. They are able to capture the raw emotion and portray it beautifully. When we contacted Travis, he was very professional and timely. He gave us details on every process and was transparent each step of the way. On our wedding day, both Travis and Anna were courteous and resourceful. They worked very well with our photographers, communicating and taking turns with each pose. They made our poses natural by walking us through the process. Both Travis and Anna have a lot of experience with an eye for detail. Travis got our wedding highlight video done in about a week which is VERY fast. The video was well produced and edited. From the video quality, to the recording, to the music; everything was top notch. Travis provided us with the completed project as well as all the raw video and audio files. I've watched the video with my wife many times and it never gets old. If you're looking for a videographer, look no further. 8 Kinds of Smiles will have you smiling more than 8 different ways.

Highly recommend

Travis and his team are AMAZING. I first contacted him back in 2019 as the videographer for our 2020 wedding and from the very beginning he was professional, approachable, and communicative (which I'm extremely appreciative of!). COVID hit and we had to delay our wedding twice; Travis was completely understanding and was so flexible whenever we reached out about the delays. It was so stressful and demoralizing to have to delay and replan things for our wedding, but we're so thankful that Travis made it so much easier for us.

In terms of quality, we're just amazed at the final product that he delivered. We got the extended cut and added the highlight reel last minute. I HIGHLY recommend the highlight reel. We didn't think we needed one with the extended cut, but Travis did such an amazing job that we're SOOO happy we decided to add it on.

I also cannot overstate how professional Travis was through the whole process: he provided detailed information about the packages, gave us timelines for delivering the final product and payment schedules, and sent us proofs to look over to make sure we're satisfied. Every communication he sent was clear and concise and all my questions were always answered in detail.

Thank you Travis for helping capture our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
