Last night, Tim Alan Smith's NYC corporate company- Avenue 5 Films- took home best NYC event video at the annual ISES Big Apple Awards Gala honoring the top NYC event vendors for our coverage of the Biz Bash Event Style Expo last October. ISES (International Special Events Society) is a international organization of special event talent with the NYC chapter hosting last night's event. This year the event was held at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, where Tim Alan Smith has filmed plenty of NYC weddings and other events over the years. Three videos were selected in advance as finalists for the top award, including Tim Alan Smith's very own wedding recap of Ralph and Priya at the Rainbow Room from April of 2008. A lot of great nominees and award winners were there including NYC wedding photographer Andre Maier, who took home top honors for best image. Below is the rest of the night's big winners. We are very thankful that one video from each of our companies made it to the top three of NYC and excited to take home the top honor!
