TRUE FIERCE BEAUTY

Andrew, founder of Arrakis Films, is an award-winning film director shaping each project through cinematic storytelling, emotional intensity, and a strong visual signature.

Arrakis Films is a cinematic photo and video studio creating imagery with true fierce beauty. We work across weddings, photography, portraits, and selected commercial projects, building stories through presence, tension, movement, and emotional truth. Our background includes commercial campaigns, music videos, and documentaries, with work created for brands such as Nutella, Adidas, and Mercedes. That experience shaped the way we work with composition, atmosphere, rhythm, and emotion. It taught us how to create images that feel polished, intentional, and alive without becoming artificial.

This is the same approach we bring into weddings and photography. We are drawn to real emotion, strong frames, magnetic energy, and moments that cannot be staged twice. We want every film and every photograph to feel sensual, stylish, and deeply human. Beautiful, but never fake. Refined, but never lifeless. Whether we are documenting a wedding day, photographing a couple, or creating visual work for a brand, the intention stays the same: to make imagery that leaves a mark. Work with presence. Work with feeling. Work with force.

“Arrakis Films delivered both stunning photography and an incredible wedding film for our NYC elopement. Roma and Andrew work seamlessly as a photo and video team—the photos are beautifully composed and emotional, and the film is cinematic and heartfelt. What sets them apart is that both services feel equally important and equally beautiful. We love rewatching our film and cherishing our photos in equal measure. Highly recommend for any couple wanting artistic, professional work in both photo and video.”

“I couldn’t have asked for better photographers and videographers. They did an amazing job of capturing my wedding day. My wedding day was on May 17,2025. Not only were they supportive throughout the day, but they also made me feel special and beautiful. I’m grateful to have met Andrew and Roma. They helped me with everything, from the smallest details to the biggest ones. When you showed me the pictures and then the videography, I was blown away. The quality of the photos was stunning, and the passion and warmth in them were incredible. The video was even more impressive. I couldn’t believe you could create such a piece that we would laugh, cry, and watch over and over again. Thank you so much, Roma and Andrew, for being the team who captured my wedding day. I was blessed to meet you both.”

“I could not imagine my wedding day without Arrakis Films. They are without a doubt the most transparent, organized, and determined team to tell your love story, the way you want it, in a way that's beautifully authentic and heartfelt, including everyone present for such a classic wedding day. It's a little nerve racking picking a vendor as a bride. We thought that since they were both Photo + Video/ Super8 Film, it was a no brainer we wanted them to be our photographer. They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot when it matters most, and still when you're not looking, capturing the most perfect moments. It’s been such a gift from them to us to be able to relive a day for that flew by in the blink of an eye. The photos and the videos—are absolutely incredible. I am so in love with every single moment they have captured, and grateful for their guidance and ability to move from one part of the day to the next. I had absolutely no worries!! Especially with everything else going on. I find myself watching our Wedding Film, remembering each moment more and more as it was, and each time I realize that I’m smiling from beginning to end, every. single. time. These memories mean more to us than I can say (especially cause it went by too fast!). The team is truly amazing. They kept us laughing and easing all of our nerves, made me and all of the girls feel so beautiful, while capturing everything and everyone so thoughtfully and meaningfully. Words truly can’t express how grateful I am for Arrakis Films. With love, The Bride”
