Candid Wedding Films & Photography

Capture your wedding day with an award-winning wedding videographer in NYC

Candid Wedding Filmmakers

A candid wedding video tells your story without scripts or poses. At Arrakis Films, we quietly capture the real energy of your day—unscripted laughter, teary smiles, stolen glances—so you can relive not just how it looked, but how it truly felt. Our candid style brings out honest emotion with a cinematic eye, creating films that feel raw, intimate, and beautifully real.

At Arrakis Films, we blend candid wedding videography with a timeless visual style. Using both digital and Super 8 formats, we craft wedding films that feel like treasured memories—honest, nostalgic, and emotionally rich. Our focus is never on staging. Instead, we follow the rhythm of your day and document it with warmth, depth, and care.

Our candid wedding videos are built on quiet observation. We blend into your surroundings, letting events unfold naturally. You won’t be asked to perform or pose—we simply follow the story, capturing the moments you didn’t realize were happening. The result is a film that feels effortless and genuine, a reflection of your day as it truly was.

We believe that comfort creates beauty. That’s why our process starts with real conversations—not shot lists. We get to know you, your rhythm, your dynamic. On the wedding day, that trust allows us to film candidly, with empathy. The result? A candid wedding video that doesn’t just document your celebration—it reflects your connection, your humor, your heart.
