Tim Alan Smith/The Today Show and Dateline NBC! Sunday Night/Monday

Tim Alan Smith Wedding Video will be have some of our work featured on this Sunday's Dateline NBC episode and either Monday or Tuesday's Today Show most likely. Additionally, the footage may appear on MSNBC next week as well! Dateline has produced a segment on marriage and relationships in which they contend marriages are lasting longer and divorce rates are down (good news!). The producer of the show attended one of our weddings and wanted to use footage from the wedding. After getting in touch with us, she really liked our style, and asked for more of our NYC Wedding Videos for the segment. We were happy to oblige! No idea how much is on there or for how long but it should be a very interesting segment regardless. Set your DVRs!

A compilation of fantastic Tim Alan Smith Weddings!

As a NYC wedding videographer, we have had plenty of opportunities to film amazing weddings in and around NYC. While we have been able to post highlights of some of these weddings individually both on the blog and the Tim Alan Smith website, we have never created one highlight with shots from an assortment of weddings. Well, that's changed as of now! After a massive undertaking that included viewing hundreds of master tapes, we have put together some of our favorite shots to Cold Play's "Viva La Vida". While this is not the finished product (we are still going through tapes!), it's a rough draft and a pretty good indication of what the final product will look like. Enjoy!

New York Magazine Wedding Guide: Tim Alan Smith selected once again as a top videographer in New York City.


We are excited to be included once again in New York Magazine's semi-annual industry bible, The New York Wedding Guide. New York Magazine chooses vendors in different wedding-related categories that they consider the best in NYC. Writers and editors then collaborate on a short piece about each company. Here's what they said about NYC wedding videographer Tim Alan Smith:



"Smith's background as a magazine writer and stand up comedian make him a story-telling pro, and he prides himself on his ability to catch small, fleeting details throughout the day. His work, which was recently honored by the International Special Events Society, incorporates live audio and fun outtakes to veer away from that sappy montage territory."


We couldn't agree more. Thanks New York Magazine for honoring us once again and for understanding what our company is all about!
