    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.

    Beyond Grateful!

    It was an absolute pleasure to have Kyle filming at our wedding. He was professional, kind, and personable--which is wildly appreciated on such a big and busy day!

    After watching our film, WOW is all we can say. What an incredible, well constructed, and beautiful gift. Kyle captured exactly what we hoped and more. He clearly took the time to understand us as a couple and design a film that captured our personalities, emotions, values, and special highs of our unique day. It is not simply a video that shows events of the day, it feels like a film that cinematically captured the best moments & feelings of our wedding.

    One of a kind

    Words can't begin to describe how pleased we were with Kyle (87&Smith). His portfolio speaks for itself, but on top of that was his unique ability to have been seemingly everywhere on our day, without making us once feel "filmed". He was such a pleasure to be around on a frankly stressful and emotional day, and made us feel comfortable being our goofy selves. Truly, we cannot recommend 87&Smith enough.

    A dream!!!

    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.

    Absolute Perfection

    Going into wedding planning, one of the things we were unsure about was whether or not we wanted a videographer because we weren’t sure how often we would watch our video. When you have a videographer as amazing as Kyle, the answer is you watch it all the time. 6 months later and I’m still watching it regularly and it brings tears to my eyes every single time. I watch and I am immediately taken back to the day and all of the love and happiness we felt. This film is perfect and it was worth every penny.

    Kyle and his team were incredible to work with. Wedding planning during a pandemic was filled with uncertainty, but no matter what plan we were working with, Kyle was ready to go. I was grateful for his easy-going and calm personality. Even when I was panicking about what our wedding might look like, Kyle had a plan and was ready to just go with the flow. The day of I was so amazed at how he quietly captured our day. Never missing a beat, and getting everything as it was naturally occurring without it being obtrusive. He rolled with all of the random last minute requests I had and captured every single moment of our day.

    The final product was phenomenal. The short film Kyle created perfectly captured our wedding and we received so many compliments on it. Due to the pandemic, a few of our loved ones were unable to travel and come to our wedding, and being able to share this video with them allowed them to feel like they were there and part of our day.

    Now that the wedding is over, the video is one of the things we have to look back on and remember our day. We knew those memories would be important, but watching it has truly brought us so much joy over the past few months. We are so thankful to have found 87 & Smith because they really captured the essence of our day and we have loved watching our video to relive the love and magic. They really captured all parts of our day and got clips that really reflect who we are. We are so thankful we ended up getting a videographer and more importantly that we found 87 & Smith because we will cherish these memories for years to come. The final product exceeded our expectations and truly makes our hearts so happy.

    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.

    87 and Smith was exactly who we needed!

    After planning a full wedding and having to delay due to covid, this whole wedding planning experience was not an easy time for me. Kyle was so helpful and easy to work with throughout the process. My partner and I are extremely awkward on camera and Kyle and his team were able to capture our sweet moments (and funny) without making them look staged or uncomfortable. We are soso happy with our wedding and reception videos and could not imagine working with anyone else.
    When my family from abroad ultimately couldn't make it due to travel restrictions Kyle offered to turn around the ceremony video for them within 48 hours of the actual ceremony! Honestly, it was something I had never even thought to ask because I didn't think it was possible. My grandmother and extended family so appreciated being able to see it so soon as if they were there with us that weekend.
    I HIGHLY recommend choosing 87 and Smith as your videographer for your special day.

    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!!

    Incredible service and beautiful video!

    I am so happy that we chose 87 and Smith as our video team for our micro-wedding! Kyle was extremely responsive and personable. Our video turned out incredible. They were able to capture the most romantic and special moments of our wedding. We will treasure our video forever!

    Our wedding video is the best keepsake we have from our wedding day!

    We had the pleasure of working with Kyle Smith for our wedding at the Inn at Perry Cabin this past July. We don't even know where to begin. Being that we both come from a service background, we have very high standards and 87& Smith blew away our expectations. Kyle was extremely professional and kept a low profile during the event capturing footage while blending in with our photography team. We didn't even know he was there to be honest. He's basically a Camera ninja. He captured all of the important moments and some amazing aerial shots of our venue. Kyle even sent us a trailer immediately after the wedding as a sneak peak to share with family and friends right away- the anticipation of the true video was now killing us and we could barely wait!

    We received our edited video promptly after the wedding and we were blown away by the compilation to say the least. The quality of the cinematography, shots & sound were on par with a major motion picture film. My husband and I both got emotional watching the video as the theme was centered around us and our love story. Kyle chose the most beautiful portions of the ceremony & speeches as part of the voice over while showcasing shots taken all throughout the day. His creativity, attention to details and artistic flair made our wedding video a keepsake we will always cherish. Kyle also sent us full videos of the ceremony, speeches, intros, dances, cake cutting & our gender reveal. These are all of amazing quality as well. We couldn’t have imagined how spectacular everything would turn out and are very grateful to Kyle for his dedication to excellence! In retrospect, we'd have paid triple what he asked for this kind of finished product. This was mic drop material. Thanks Kyle.

    87&Smith went above and beyond!

    This was the first vendor we hired and more than a year out! The easiest and best decision ever!! From the very beginning it was easy communicating with Kyle, which made it so comfortable for us because it felt like we'd known each other forever. He was also always on top of everything. Due to COVID-19, our guest count was limited to 45 in DC and Kyle did everything to help us figure out the best way to do a live stream for our family and friends that weren't going to be able to attend. He emailed us all the time with updates regarding this too! I got an email from Kyle the week of the wedding and even the day of the wedding just checking in to see if there was anything we needed! On the wedding day, it was so easy! We knew Kyle (and Ace) was there, but he just did his thing! We received our highlight film and documentary edit in less than two weeks and both turned out BEAUTIFUL, more than I could have ever imagined!!! The soundtracks, the montage, and all the moments one doesn't necessarily think about wanting in their wedding film Kyle got and they were PERFECTION. I was in tears for days, they literally take you back to that moment it and it just feels so real again.

    Highly recommend working with Kyle!

    Kyle was so wonderful to work with and I could not recommend him more for any brides looking for a memorable and beautiful wedding video. Kyle is kind, professional, responsive and was so felxible as we worked through four wedding dates and reschdules due to COVID - which was not an esay situation for anyone involved.

    It's so clear how deeply Kyle cares about his craft and the results couldn't speak more for themsevles. Here are just a few comments I received about our wedding video after I posted it on Instagram:
    - "But seriously...the cinematography on this is Oscar worthy."
    - "Perfectly captured!"
    - "I feel like I was there after watching this!!"
    - "This video is beautiful!"

    Our wedding video truly does feel like a movie. The cinemotgraphy is gorgeous, the song choice was excellent and it makes me tear up everytime we watch it. What's even more impressive is that Kyle delivered the first cut of our video less than two weeks after our wedding. He works fast!

    You can not go wrong working with Kyle and I promise you will be so happy with the outcome.

    Astounding

    Kyle blew my mind with our wedding video. End of story. He managed to make me laugh and cry in a matter of six minutes with his ability to tug at your heart strings while simultaneously bringing a smile to your face. He completely surpassed any expectation I had (and let me tell you, I was superrrr picky when it came to a videographer). I didn’t want any of this cheesy zoom in, zoom out stuff that I kept seeing. If you are in the market for someone to capture your special event, I beg you not to look any further. It was an absolute delight to work with someone so talented and I will continue to break out my video to random strangers for at least 5 years from now. It’s that beautiful! Thank you, Kyle, from all of us!!

    87 and Smith's reply:

    This review is everything. Thank you Chelsea for trusting me with your wedding, it was an honor to do so. Wishing you many many wonderful years!!

    So worth it!

    I was on the fence about hiring a wedding videographer (I thought pictures would be enough), but after seeing the video that Kyle put together, I can honestly say that hiring him was the best wedding decision that my husband and I made! Kyle captured so many small, intimate moments and wove them together so beautifully. He truly is an artist and the video he created is something that I will treasure forever. I am so grateful to him for perfectly capturing the best day of my life.

    To anyone on the fence about hiring a wedding videographer, my best advice is to do it, and better yet, to hire Kyle! I promise it will be worth it.

    Amazing work!

    We hired 87 and Smith for our October 2019 wedding and are so happy we did. Kyle and his team are extremely talented, but also so low key about it. You won't even notice him at your wedding, then he hits you with an incredibly detailed and meaningful film perfectly capturing the day! Very happy with their work and the turnaround time was so fast. Book them immediately - you won't regret it!

    Best decision we made!

    I have taken too long to write this review because I couldn't not write a whole page.... I had not committed to a videographer throughout wedding planning, and one week before I panicked that I made the wrong decision. Kyle was personally recommended to me in my frantic search, and after a quick message, he and I were on the phone for half an hour, and 3 days before our wedding he made me feel so excited and reassured that we made the right decision! He helped piece together a plan and package that fit us and our timeframe. He admitted he had never booked with such a quick turn around, but he was confident it would be great. He is fun, calm, and so incredibly talented!! I will be forever grateful that I was put in contact with Kyle. The turnaround on his work is excellent, and the videos make my heart melt every time we watch--which is often! All of our friends and family love to watch as well. Not only is the quality professional and absolutely stunning, the ease of sharing and downloading is clean and easy. I don't have enough words to say how happy you made us, and how special it is to have such a beautiful memory of our incredible day! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    Great videos!

    We love our wedding videos from 87 & Smith. Kyle was awesome- so responsive and blended into the background. It was like we forgot he was there! We were so pleased with how the videos came out. They are so classic and not at all cheesy.

    Professional and so Creative!

    The team of 87 and Smith filmed our wedding on August, 24, 2019. They were very professional and made us feel so comfortable, we even didn’t feel they were there.

    The next day, I watched their Instagram story and I saw they were already working on our video.

    Few days later, they delivered a video that seems like a wedding that you see in movies. I lost the count how many times I have watched our wedding video. We got so many complements on. If you are looking for a very professional and creative team, they are your go!

    Incredibly Talented Videographer

    Kyle was beyond amazing - he filmed our engagement photo shoot and captured the day so effortlessly. From the start, he was a fly on the wall, observing and quietly filming the small moments. I wasn't sure what to expect. When we got the footage back, I was floored. He was able to capture small moments on film that photography just wouldn't be able to - a laugh, a glance, a clip of us dancing. He is so talented - I'd recommend him to anyone over and again.

    Best wedding videographer ever!!

    87 and Smith immediately responded to my initial inquiry. That kind of response was consistent throughout the entire planning experience. What a comfort it was. Everything they did was responsive and professional.
    The 87 and Smith team was quietly in the wedding and reception venues. They seemed to have an innate sense of what to capture. Not just pictures, but dialog as well.
    There was a large range of moments captured in the final videos. I was especially pleased that most of the endearing moments were captured as well as some still shots and moments that were just sweet. Dances with the children, moments between friends and girlfriends were also highlighted. The bride and grooms' special moments were the highlights of the videos. We were so happy about that!
    Also, some of the best comments from the ceremony and from the wedding speeches were also caught. That's rare and displayed good judgment on the part of the person who assembled the final wedding recordings.
    Since the videos and pictures are the bride and groom's and their families' only takeaway from this special experience, I am beyond pleased about the work of 87 and Smith.
    In the end, their recording choices, editing, punctuality and professionalism were all exceptional.
    I'd recommend them to anyone, and it is, upon reflection, one of the best wedding planning decisions that we made!!!

    Stunning video short within 36 hours

    What a great surprise to find a 45 second, beautifully edited video of the magical day, while still in the afterglow of it. We loved watching it countless times, and sharing it.
