Mediterranean Adventures ~ Italy, Greece & Turkey, OH MY!

Mediterranean Adventures from Five Sixteen Cinema on Vimeo

Here is a little peak into our amazing trip to the Mediterranean! Unfortunately we didn't take as much footage as I would have liked... Not even any in Rome! (~sad face~) I think with the amount of amazing sites we were able to see and the rapid pace at which we were snapping pictures, I forgot to ever hit record! Sometimes you have to just sit back and take it all in. I guess we'll just have to go back someday! It was an AWESOME trip and I hope it inspires you to "sea" the world!

Bobby + Andi | A Perfect Fall Day

Bobby + Andi [Highlights] - A Perfect Fall Day from Five Sixteen Cinema on Vimeo

We had a blast at this wedding! Not only was it an absolute gorgeous fall day, this was one rockin' couple; a hilarious and fun pair! We were all smiles all day. Their ceremony took place in the gorgeous Metropolitan United Methodist Church in Detroit and the party continued at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. One of my favorite moments of the night had to be when the best man and bridesmaid sang their personal rendition of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way". Took me back to the 90's and swooning over Nick Carter ;-) This being our last wedding of the 2011 season, it was a great way to end it! Enjoy their super fun trailer and highlights.

As I put together this film, I am reminded of how great my job is! I get to experience and capture so much LOVE! It is truly the greatest thing on earth and it's my job as a wedding cinematographer to capture, preserve and share that love with the world. I honestly couldn't ask for a better job! So sit back, press play and enjoy this film. I promise it will make you happy!

Adventures in Fiji

Bula! from Fiji... voted the happiest place on earth!! We traveled to Fiji back in November, and I would have to agree, it is the happiest place I've ever been! Truly the world's friendliest people and some of the most gorgeous landscape you'll find in the world. We stayed at the Koro Sun Resort & Spa (you may recognize it from last season of The Bachelorette). Yes, I'm admitting to watching the Bachelorette! The resort was great, with our own private villa & pool on a hill overlooking the ocean, I don't think it could get much better. The staff was awesome and we made friends instantly! It was a great trip, filled with fun, sun and adventure! Hope you enjoy the video and a small look into our week in Paradise.

Vinaka!

Brian + April [Highlights] - Shh...it's a 516 surprise!

Brian + April [Highlights] - A 516 Surprise! from Five Sixteen Cinema on Vimeo

I have to say that this was one of our favorite weddings of the year! No offense to any of our other couples, they have all been great!! But this wedding had something extra... We got to surprise the bride! I love surprises, and this one couldn't have gone any better! The bride had no idea we were going to be there to film her big day. She had contacted us previously but thought that she was unable to book us. Thanks to her awesome fiance, we were planning on being there all along. We showed up at the hotel where she was getting ready with our cameras in hand. Walking into the room and introducing ourselves as 516 Cinema was pretty exciting. The ensuing screams and tears let us know that we were very welcome :-) So with an awesome surprise, a down-to-earth, beautiful couple, a fun bridal party, a GORGEOUS venue and delicious food, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding! Congrats again to Brian & April, thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!
