87 and Smith is a wedding videography business based in Washington DC. This videography company is dedicated to capturing weddings with care and professionalism. Their style is to be unobtrusive, to focus on videography, allowing you to focus on your special day. They are a wedding videographer for couples who don't want a wedding videographer, because they don't associate themselves with the videographers that run around, get in your guests way, becoming an eye sore and stick out like a sore thumb.
87's reviews speak for themselves- many have described the process of working with Kyle "too easy compared to other vendors" "Kyle is a magician" and "The best decision from my entire wedding"
The approach that 87 and Smith has is simple and refined. In an industry that obsesses over the latest gear, the latest technology and fancy unneccesary tools, Kyle relies on what he knows best. Capturing the natural moments as they are happening, nothing in the slightest scripted or directed. Authenticity is Kyle's aim and you can see that in every single one of his films. The wedding is about the couple, not the photographer and not the filmmaker. It's unnatural to ask the couple to perform for the camera, there is enough real action going on that 87 doesn't need to fake anything, it's a wedding after all and not a movie, but after watching his films you might think it actually is a movie because they're unlike a lot of other "wedding videos" you see.

Kyle and his team are the best of the best. From the very beginning, Kyle took the time to truly understand our vision, not only for the video or the wedding, but our vision for the rest of our lives. He is a true professional, and I barely noticed he was there on the day, but he managed to capture every one of our special moments to created the most breathtaking video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The film was an expression of who we are as a couple and as individuals. I can't recommend 87&Smith more highly.

watching the film on repeat in awe ♥️
I am in awe. Every emotion is so beautifully depicted. It’s raw and elegant, fun and intentional - every piece from beginning to end is so, so captivating.
I cannot thank Kyle enough for so perfectly capturing the joy, love, tenderness, and excitement of our day. I don’t believe anyone else could have told our story better.

Look no further!
LOOK NO FURTHER!! If you want a video that you can share with your family, friends and bask in all the love from your wedding day forever, 87&Smith is the perfect video team for you!! Kyle and his team were such a kind, thoughtful and talented group to work with! Since we had to decrease our wedding size by 150 ppl (#thanksCOVID), we decided to add them last minute so we could share something more than photos with our loved ones who couldn’t join our wedding day anymore. What Kyle created had all of our family and friends feeling so much love from our day and like they were there with us. COVID aside, on the day of, Kyle and his team hang in the background. You may barely notice his team as they're quietly capturing all excitement, love and special moments that naturally occur. He is clearly a master of his craft and creates such a special experience. Though we added 87Smith last minute, it was one of the BEST decisions of our wedding! I couldn’t speak higher of Kyle, his team and the perfect video they’ll craft for you to cherish forever!!
