About

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.

The Best in the Business- No Doubt.

My husband and I searched far and wide to find videography for our wedding day and likely drove our planner a little bonkers with how particular we were being ;) I'm so thankful our planner referred us to 87 and Smith. Hiring Kyle was easily one of the best decisions we made. Simply put- Kyle is a cinematic genius. He captured everything that was important to us and went way above and beyond expectations to make sure our film was perfect. To top it off, he is so down to earth, kind, and easy to work with. Literally our only wedding regret was not having him capture our rehearsal dinner. Our wedding day was truly magical for us, and he captured it so beautifully. We would hire him 1000 times over again, he was worth every penny.

Kyle is a magician

I don't even know how to write a review on Kyle because I am still speechless from my video... Kyle was so easy going and amazing to work with. I honestly feel so lucky that we had him! We hired him for our rehearsal dinner and wedding and I am so thankful that we did. He captured our entire weekend. Looking back at the videos now, I am so so happy we made that decision. The way he is able to tell a story through video is unmatched. I feel like a celebrity watching my video- it really does feel like a movie trailer. He captured all of the fun/crazy moments and the loving/sentimental moments and put them together to seem absolutely seamless. I would 1000% recommend Kyle and his team!

Best videographer ever

I want to start with this statement: Kyle is a rockstar and your will not regret of working with him.
In general, I felt that wedding planning was stressful and for the vendor that i book with i won’t know the final result until I see the final product. With Kyle you do not need to worry about that! He was truly more than anything that we could ask for. Prepping with him was super easy before the wedding. And during the wedding shooting session, he made us feel like he was barely there. Everything came out naturally from us. Yet our wedding film came out breathtaking! We cannot stop watching the final wedding film. I personally cannot stop raving about 87&smith to my friends. He will worth every single penny that you pay for.
