WHO WE ARE

Your Los Angeles wedding, shot like an editorial

Arrakis Films is a Los Angeles wedding photographer duo with a film and fashion background. We build the wedding like an editorial, shooting digital on Sony A7R5 and medium-format film on Hasselblad 503. We select and retouch every frame personally and deliver 200 or more photos within a month, across LA County and Southern California. Packages run from $3,500 to $5,890.

Award-Winning Wedding Photographer Los Angeles

OUR STYLE

Editorial wedding photography in Los Angeles

Editorial means the frame is built: light, silhouette, pose and composition are treated the way a fashion magazine treats them, and some shots are staged on references from glossy magazines and art. The base stays documentary, real emotion on a real day, and we look for the fashion inside what actually happens.

Festival juries have recognized this work: Grand Jury Winner at FFTG Awards 2023, Best Short Documentary at Venezia Shorts 2021, Best Director at Seattle International Fashion Film Festival 2021, Best Cinematography at Prague International Film Awards 2021.

This style asks for a little time and trust. It suits couples ready to give portraits real time in the timeline, and camera-shy couples do well with us too, calm and simple direction is what unfreezes people.

OUR PROCESS

How We Work
with Los Angeles light

LA gives photographers long golden hours, dry air and a warm amber cast that arrives earlier in the evening than almost anywhere we have worked. We plan the shoot around those pockets of light. Harsh midday sun does not scare us either, clean composition holds in hard light, and after dark we bring our own.

Our recent desert elopement in Joshua Tree shows the other side of LA photography: open landscape and total quiet around the couple. The area around Los Angeles offers settings a city venue simply cannot, and we love using them.

OUR SIGNATURE

Film photography on Hasselblad

Alongside digital, we shoot medium-format film on a Hasselblad 503. It carries depth, characteristic grain, deep color and a timeless feel digital cannot reproduce. Digital coverage runs on Sony A7R5 with resolution built for editorial print. Film suits couples who already know analog and choose it deliberately; tell us at the first call and we will build the coverage around it.

BEFORE THE WEDDING

Engagement
Sessions

An engagement shoot removes most of the wedding-day nerves. You learn how we direct, we learn what makes you feel like yourselves on camera, and the wedding coverage gets planned better as a result. Beverly Hills, the beaches, Downtown or the desert all work, and we choose the location around your vibe. An engagement session can be added to any package.

“Beyond and forever grateful I chose Arrakis Films for my special day. They provided a comforting and reassuring energy, open to my vision and preferences, executed and delivered exceptionally. The edited photos were authentic yet professionally and gracefully polished. I look forward to booking them again.”

Alexander Karnyukhin
★★★★★

“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.”

“Andrew was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He has an incredible creative eye and artistic flair that truly sets his work apart. Every photo is beautifully composed and captures not just the moments, but the emotions of the day. Our gallery exceeded every expectation and perfectly tells the story of us. If you're looking for a talented photographer who creates timeless, artistic images, we highly recommend Andre. We will cherish these memories forever.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and video—they came out absolutely amazing. They captured so many intimate, beautiful moments that we’ll cherish forever. Also such wonderful people to have around on our wedding day! They made us feel comfortable, were a joy to work with, it felt like we’ve known them for forever!! We’re so happy we chose them to create these memories for us. Thank you for giving us something we’ll treasure for a lifetime!”

“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”
