About

We are not taking wedding cinematography inquiries at this time due to our shift in focus to social impact films and branded content.

We are a creative film production team who believe in the extraordinary power of stories to help connect people, share unique perspectives, and spark change in the world.

During our first 5 years we built a reputable video production business, splitting our time between South Florida and Central Virginia. During that time we self-produced our first feature documentary film.

Our team travels much of the time working with collaborators and clients in locations throughout the United States and internationally. Please get in touch to inquire about working together.

In 2018 we co-founded Evergrain Studios, a film production company crafting mission-driven documentary films and branded content. Visit us at Evergrain.co

We're also thrilled to announce the release of our award-winning feature documentary The Rebound, on Netflix. Visit us at Reboundthefilm.com

It was such a pleasure to work with Shaina and Mike on our wedding day. Starting with our pre-call a few weeks before, they were prepared with a schedule and logistics to make sure the day went smoothly. They met us at our rehearsal dinner first and they got great coverage of the toasts and a video slideshow that was played. Then on the wedding day, they were both prompt and helped us stick to our timeline. They both made our day so relaxing and they are such a joy to be around. Our final product was a DVD, one for us and each set of parents, and this was amazing. There were several sections, highlighting the full ceremony and special events at the reception. The ~4 minute highlight was so perfect and captured all the important parts of the weekend. We are so happy we chose to work with Shaina Koren Cinematography and wish them all the best!

There are no words to express how much we loved what Shaina Koren Cinematography created for us. Our wedding film was worth every penny. They captured every special moment, detail, and feeling of our wedding day. My husband and I watch our wedding film all the time, and every time it is as if we are watching it for the first time. It brings us so much happiness to be able to relive the emotions we felt that day. Shaina Koren Cinematography does more than just film your wedding day, they tell a story.

We were on the fence about a videographer for a long time, and ultimately decided to go for it - we wanted to remember the little moments from our big day that just couldn't be caught on still film. We debated between a higher-priced team that was stretching our budget, and a couple others that were less expensive, but lower quality/skill level. I am SO glad we went with Shaina and her team. They were professional and courteous from the moment they arrived, and made me feel completely at ease. They needed ZERO direction or help from us, blended perfectly into the background and worked seamlessly with our photographer. When we got our film back, WOW. They were everywhere. I'm so glad we trusted them as artists to come in and do their thing, because the final project was simply amazing. They are also kind, wonderful people - the sort of people you feel really good about supporting as artists and small business owners. Book them now!

I was not completely on board with having a Wedding Videographer at first because I was worried that they would be in the way on the day of the wedding and wasn't sure what a video would add on top of photos but my mother in law insisted and I am SO glad that she did and that we picked Shaina Koren Cinematography. They were lovely to work with and faded completely into the background during the rehearsal dinner and the day of our wedding but still managed to capture our day perfectly. My husband and I have very high standards and Shaina Koren Cinematography more than met them. We will cherish our video forever.

i can't praise Shaina and Michael enough for our wedding video. We flew out from the UK to Miami for my sisters wedding and they did her video we were all blown away and I feel so lucky that Shaina and Mike were able to film or wedding in Portugal last year. They make you feel so at ease on the day and have produced such a stunning video that everyone loves and I watch it over and over. Best money well spent from our entire wedding as watching the film takes me right back. Thank you for your amazing work ??

Of all of the vendors we chose for our wedding, this is the vendor we are most proud of! Shaina created THE MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding film for us! Her and Mike captured our day perfectly, and created a wedding film that was so us, and so magical. They were so attentive to everything we wanted highlighted in the video and were just such awesome people to work with! We knew they were excellent cinematographers, but we didn't realize how BLOWN AWAY we would be by our film! They truly are masters of their craft, and are the best at what they do. This memory of our favorite day is one that we will cherish forever, and can't thank them enough for giving us the best gift; their talent.

Shaina and Mike are two truly incredible people! Not only are they two of the most talented, hard working people in the industry, they are also so warm and kind to be around - I didn't want them to leave our wedding! From our initial email to our actual wedding day, we have felt like we were hanging around old friends. They took such great care of us throughout the whole process, and especially on our wedding day. They really went above and beyond anything we expected from a videographer. Prior to the wedding, they were always willing and super available to talk to us and responded immediately to all our requests and many questions. You could tell they really cared to get to know us and have a connection with us before the wedding and I cannot tell you enough how important that is in someone taking raw footage of one of the most important days of your lives! You want to be at ease, comfortable and relaxed, like it's just you and your best friend getting married with some really awesome friends capturing it all for you. When the wedding day finally arrived, they really amazed us! They were everywhere, capturing every special moment, yet totally out of the way the whole time, I don't even know how they managed to do that but they are pros. They took such unique and spontaneous footage that I'm sure we'll look back on for years to come. But beyond that, they were always right nearby to help us with anything we needed! This is where their genuinely sweet personalities really shined. They got us drinks when we were thirsty, they ran to find people when we needed them, and gave us last minute details we had forgotten - they just took really great care of us all day. We had spent months prior talking to other potential videographers but once we met Shaina and Mike, we felt like no one else could compare. Their service was truly unmatched. Last, they made a real effort to work with our budget. They even stayed later than we had agreed to shoot some last remaining details!

Shaina Koren Cinematography was absolutely amazing to work with. They became much more than just vendors to us throughout the process of planning. They became our friends. I will refer them to anyone getting married. Not only were they super easy to work with along, they love their job. They are a fun loving couple and our video was absolutely breath taking. We have watched it so many times and our family and friends love being able to relive the day with us. Using Shaina and Mike was hands down the best decision we made in the wedding process.

You two certainly are Miami's finest! Lee and I are absolutely blown away with our wedding video! the way you have created it, the music you chose and the quality is amazing! Bring a bride from the UK, organising our wedding abroad could have been hard work but you guys made it so easy! With your communication right from the start, I knew we were in professional, good company:) You and Mike are both so passionate about what you do and it really did shine through in the day. We thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for creating a video so perfect that we can watch it over and over again forever and ever! Keep up your magical work you do and get yourselves over to England, now!! England neeeeeds you!! Thank you again, big loves, Gemma and Lee xXx

Shaina and Mike were an absolute blessing. I was having trouble finding a videographer who shot cleanly, with no artistic graphics/shading, to take away from the purity of the film, but did not look like a family friend was shooting home footage either. I found Shaina Koren Cinematography through my photographer, Katelyn James' blog. Shaina and Mike were so sweet and it was like seeing old friends when we met for the first time! (Perhaps because they are fellow JMU Dukes!) They handled the day of with pure grace and produced the most beautiful work; we could not wait for more after our highlight reel! Our full length film went far beyond our expectations, as they produced it like a short film. We've spent many hours watching it on repeat. The end result clearly showed the countless hours they poured into our piece. We could not have selected better vendors for the day; Shaina and Mike included. You will not be disappointed in these two or your film.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
