JLB Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Southgate, MI

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of meeting JLB in the dead of winter for our engagement shoot, and despite the below-freezing temperatures, his commitment to capturing the perfect shots never wavered. As two people who had absolutely no idea how to pose for pictures, we were amazed at how effortlessly he directed his vision and brought it to life — making us look like absolute naturals in front of the camera! JLB’s professionalism, creativity, and patience truly set him apart. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already had multiple guests at our wedding ask for his contact information for when they have their big day comes. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, we cannot recommend JLB enough. A true 10/10 experience.

Hello! My name is Tony Coppola and I’d like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself and CC King Entertainment.

Shortly after, I DJ’d my first wedding and CC King Entertainment was born! After DJing hundreds of weddings, my business allowed me to leave my 16-year career as an occupational therapist. I ALWAYS go the extra mile to personalize my wedding services. I also have the distinct honor to work with an amazing team of Michigan wedding DJs!

Aina Films 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,995
  • Serves Southgate, MI

Aina Films is a luxury wedding videography studio built on cinematic storytelling. We don't approach weddings as events to document. We approach them as stories unfolding in real time — captured with the same narrative focus, cinematic craft, and attention to detail that defines great filmmaking. Every film is shaped around the couple, their people, and the moments that make their day irreplaceable. Not a template. Not a formula. For couples who want a film — not just a video. Serving weddings across Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and beyond.

TL;DR Hiring Abhishek and Aina Films was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Initially, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Looking back, hiring Abhishek and Aina Films should’ve been one of our top priorities. In the hierarchy of wedding decisions, I’d put it right up there with picking the venue itself; it was that important! Your wedding day flashes by in an instant; ours certainly did. In the craziness of that day there were so many amazing little details that would’ve been lost to time had they not been captured on film. We initially met with and reviewed the work of many different videographers but it quickly became apparent that Aina Films would be our preferred option. They had many great reviews and the demo video videos we watched were amazing. Outside technical competence what really sold us was his willingness to work on crafting a package that would fit our vision and our wedding day. Many of the other videographers seemed to want to want us to try to fit our day around what they provided in their pre-established packages. Due to our indecisive nature, it took a couple of weeks and many back-and-forths before we settled on what we wanted. Throughout this time, Abhishek was very patient with us. He made himself readily available for questions and was super personable and kind every time we reached out to him, which made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, he and his 2nd videographer arrived on time and started working with the photographer and the event planner without needing so much as a word from us. They were true professionals and it eased our minds knowing there was one less thing we needed to worry about. After the wedding we only had to wait a few days before we got to see some of the results. In that time, Abhishek had already edited and pieced together a few social media clips for us to post and man were those a hit! As soon as we posted them to our social media, we had people reaching out to us about how awesome the wedding looked and asking who created the clips. The final video we received is truly amazing; I cannot stress that enough. Abhishek and his team really did a fantastic job capturing all sorts of amazing memories from that day. Some of which we had missed or not been present for, others would have simply faded with time. Now and forevermore, I can go back and revisit our wedding in beautifully edited high-definition video. This is by FAR the best decision you could make for your wedding day or any event for that matter. Hiring this team is a choice that you will never regret. We will certainly never use another for any event! Thank you again Abhishek and Aina films for allowing us to relive our day over and over again! You are a truly talented team!
