Lights, camera,vows CinematicBride provides Hollywood-style memories for newlyweds and their guests At 21, West Monroe native Joshua Smith has a business that's been featured on Lifetime, "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition." It all began with a 13-year-old and a video camera, when Smith first became fascinated with the idea of filming weddings. Eight years later, the Monroe-based company CinematicBride creates film-like wedding pieces that have gotten the business named in the top 25 wedding videographer companies in the world by the magazine eventDV. "We do pretty big-budget weddings, which are a lot of fun to shoot, and we get to travel all the time," Smith said. "We've been to Jamaica, Canada two or three times, Chicago, California, Ohio, Oklahoma, pretty much all over the U.S." The hook is CinematicBride's finished work — the video is converted to look more like film, Smith said. Sixty to 80 hours can be spent editing the piece, adding music and manipulating colors. "We spend a lot of time at a wedding on the details, to make sure we're capturing that place, the flowers, everything that's going on," he said. Smith also creates what resembles a movie trailer of the wedding to send to the family before the entire video is complete. "I'll spend typically 15-20 hours working on the trailer, and it's something that really highlights their day," he said. "It showcases the beauty of the location they get married in." CinematicBride's appearances on national television were for wedding-related shows, Smith said. "A lot of times they were featuring stories about weddings, and they would call us to ask us for footage," he said. "On Lifetime, it was a wedding show, and they were doing stories that kind of revolved around what we did." Though his work takes him out of the state and sometimes out of the country two or three times a month, Smith still has the company's home base in Monroe, in a New York-style loft on North 2nd Street. "Once I found it, I walked right in the door, and I knew this is what I wanted," he said. "It's something that if a local person comes in to hire us for a job, they get the feel that it's something completely different and a unique experience we provide." Smith also runs CinematicWeddings with packages affordable for smaller budgets. "It's more of a documentary style but still has as a cinematic approach to it," he said. Smith was thrilled to have CinematicBride named a top videographer company in eventDV magazine. "They do a lot of research on success of companies, they do a lot of polls," he said. "We were in the top seven of the list, so it was really nice." Smith started out filming in church, and he remembers a particular wedding that started him on this path. "I had gotten asked to film a person's wedding locally who was just a friend of the family, and that sparked something in me," he said. "I loved it; I thought it was neat to showcase the love of two people getting married. "By about 16 I knew I wanted to go full time with it." Joshua Smith is the videographer for Cinematic Bride. The company does wedding videos in a movie-like cinematic format. He has been featured on Lifetime, "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition."
