Where it all began...

Aina Films started not as a business idea, but as a shared passion.

Co-founders Abhishek and Ryan are colleagues at a Michigan-based advertising agency. Both have built careers around creative storytelling—but something deeper was calling them. In the high-paced world of advertising, they told brand stories that moved people. But love stories? That felt personal. That felt powerful. That felt worth capturing forever.

So, they launched Aina Films—born from friendship, fueled by creativity, and grounded in one belief: “At the heart of every wedding is a love story—one that deserves to be celebrated, preserved, and passed down.”

Meet the Co-founders

Abhishek

Cinematic Craftsman Behind the Lens

Abhishek’s passion for filmmaking runs deep—he comes from a family of photographers and videographers. Visual storytelling is in his blood.

• He’s a video production specialist by day, where he crafts ad campaigns.

• His camera skills are razor-sharp—from handheld gimbals to aerial drone shots.

• With an eye for detail and a love for meaningful visuals, Abhishek knows how to capture emotion without forcing it.

• His background in advertising has trained him to find the moment—the one that says it all in a single frame.

Abhishek’s goal in every wedding is to capture not just what happened, but what made it unforgettable.

Ryan

Creative Director With a Cinematic Mind

With nearly 20 years of experience in creative advertising and filmmaking, Ryan brings the big-picture vision.

• He’s directed everything from commercials to short films, earning multiple awards along the way.

• He is skilled in branding, narrative development, and emotional storytelling

• He is experienced in crafting stories that connect and resonate with diverse audiences

Together, Ryan and Abhishek bring a mix of raw talent, polish, and heart that’s hard to find.

Why “Aina”?

In Hindi, Aina means mirror.

We chose this name because we believe a wedding film should reflect:

• Your relationship

• Your personality

• Your unique wedding day

And just like a mirror, it should be crisp and clear—both emotionally and visually. That’s why we film everything in stunning 4K using Netflix-approved cinema cameras. It’s your story, told beautifully.

From Ads to “I Do” – Why Advertising Skills Matter

Here’s what sets us apart from most wedding videographers in Michigan and Ohio: We come from the advertising world. That means we’re not just filming pretty moments—we’re telling your story like a director would tell a film.

Here’s what we bring from advertising to your wedding film:

• Narrative focus – Every brand needs a message. Every couple has a love story. We know how to find it and bring it forward.

• Cinematic pacing – Just like a great commercial, your highlight film will move with rhythm and purpose.

• Attention to detail – We spot things others miss: the nervous thumb rub, the look exchanged across a crowded room, the unspoken moments that matter.

• Fast turnaround without compromise – We're used to deadlines. Expect your film sooner than most—and still jaw-droppingly good.

Why Wedding Videography Matters

Weddings are overflowing with love, laughter, nerves, hugs, happy tears, and chaos—in the best way. But let’s be real: the day flies by. You won’t remember every word of your vows. You won’t see your grandma’s reaction when you walk down the aisle. You won’t hear your partner’s nervous laugh before the first look. That’s where we come in.

The problem: You’re busy living your big day.

The solution: We make sure you can relive it—anytime, anywhere.

And not just as a memory, but as a movie—with real audio, real emotion, and real beauty.

We Don’t Just Film Your Wedding. We Reflect It.

We’re not here to create a cookie-cutter video with soft music and random slow-motion shots. At Aina Films, we take your wedding and craft a cinematic story that mirrors who you are. One that captures your chaos and calm, your elegance and laughter, your people, your party, and your promises.

We bring:

• Professionalism rooted in years of creative experience

• Technical mastery of cinema-quality gear

• A heart for storytelling that’s personal, never generic

A good wedding film doesn’t just show you what happened—it reminds you why it mattered.

Every love story deserves to be told—Ready to tell yours?
