Elopement Wedding Photos with Arrakis Films

Our approach to elopement photography is about intimacy, storytelling, and capturing authentic moments and memories that will last forever. We document each touch, glance, and smile with the same care as a full-day celebration — only with more space for presence. Our style influences the work that is captured throughout the day, ensuring each image reflects the unique atmosphere and feeling of your wedding. The images feel editorial yet authentic, balancing aesthetic composition with the raw emotion that defines your bond. Every photograph tells a part of your shared narrative — from quiet laughter to the way you look at each other when no one else is watching.

A City Made for Two

There’s no better canvas for elopements than New York City. Its energy becomes part of your story — the cobblestone streets of Dumbo, the calm of the High Line, the glow of the skyline reflected in your eyes. Central Park is also a favorite destination for NYC elopements and photos, offering couples a scenic and iconic backdrop. As your NYC elopement photographer, we guide couples through these spaces, helping you explore the city and make the most of your NYC elopement. Every location — from a minimalist hotel room to the steps of City Hall, perfect for city hall weddings — becomes cinematic when the moment is honest, especially with a local expert who knows how to capture the unique experience for diverse couples.

The Experience of Elopement Photo

Your elopement day unfolds differently — slower, more mindful. There’s time to breathe, to laugh, to simply be. Our process is designed to help you feel comfortable and ensure a seamless experience from start to finish. We believe that thoughtful planning and creating a timeline that aligns with your priority for the day are essential for a stress-free celebration. We don’t direct every pose; instead, we focus on candid moments, including your guests, and avoid overly posed shots to keep everything authentic. We make every effort to accommodate your needs, coordinate details, and ensure all moments are captured, even if it means waiting patiently for the right emotions to unfold. Our professionalism ensures you can trust us to document your day with care and dedication.

Working with Arrakis Films means you’ll have not just a photographer, but an artist who understands how to translate emotion into imagery. Every frame is an expression of trust and love — the essence of what eloping truly means.

Absolutely incredible! Our wedding videographers went above and beyond to capture not just the moments, but the emotions, energy, and pure joy of our special day. They truly understood our personalities and seamlessly wove them into the video, making it feel so personal and authentic. Every smile, every happy tear, and every heartfelt embrace was beautifully documented. They also perfectly captured the vibe of our guests, making the entire film feel like we were reliving the day all over again. We couldn’t be happier with the final result—it’s a masterpiece we will cherish forever! Highly recommend!
