About Us

At Arrakis Films, we craft emotionally resonant wedding photos that reflect the beauty and authenticity of your celebration. Led by Andrew — a contentmaker with over a decade of storytelling experience — our team approaches each wedding with artistic sensitivity and technical precision. With a foundation in cinema and a passion for detail, we capture more than just moments — we capture the feeling. Our mission is to deliver a film that becomes a treasured part of your personal history.

Cinematic Wedding Photography

Cinematic wedding photography goes beyond posed shots. It blends composition, light, and emotion into images that feel alive. A LA wedding photographer knows how to work with changing lighting conditions, ensuring every frame reflects the atmosphere of the moment. From early morning preparations to the last dance under the stars, our work follows the rhythm of your celebration.

What makes this approach unique is the attention to every moment. We don’t just create pictures; we tell a story that you can revisit and relive. The way your family embraces you, the tears in your parents’ eyes, the laughter of friends and family — these are the details that become priceless with time. With cinematic storytelling, your memories turn into art, and your images feel like stills from a film you star in together.

Elopement & Intimate Weddings

An intimate celebration brings focus to the couple and the emotions shared between them. For weddings in Los Angeles, elopements are becoming increasingly popular. The city offers endless hidden spots — from quiet gardens to dramatic cliffs — that set the stage for a meaningful union.

As a LA wedding photographer, we approach these events with sensitivity. Instead of orchestrating the day, we allow emotions to flow naturally. This approach ensures your wedding feels genuine, and the resulting photos reflect the joy, intimacy, and connection you experienced. When photographing small weddings, every smile and every touch becomes more powerful because nothing distracts from what truly matters: the couple and their story.

Film & Digital Wedding Photography

Couples today often ask about film versus digital. Film offers texture, grain, and a timeless quality that feels nostalgic. Digital provides clarity, versatility, and vibrant color. We offer both, and many couples choose a blend that highlights the best of each world. With analogue wedding photography or 35mm film wedding photography, your images gain a softness and depth that feels authentic.

At the same time, digital allows us to capture fast-moving moments in challenging lighting conditions, delivering a wide range of photos you can share instantly. For us, the choice is not film versus digital — it’s about combining tools so the final images reflect your vision. Either way, you receive a gallery that balances artistry and emotion, designed to be cherished for decades.

Destination Wedding Photography

Your story doesn’t have to stop at the city line. We are also la wedding photographers who travel worldwide to capture love stories in stunning locations. From vineyards in Europe to beaches in Mexico, destination work allows us to combine the excitement of travel with the intimacy of marriage.

Working with a destination wedding photographer means your journey is part of the narrative. The landscapes, architecture, and cultures you experience become part of your wedding film in still images. Weddings in LA often inspire couples to dream bigger, and we are always ready to join you wherever love takes you. With us, your wedding is not only documented — it is transformed into art that reflects your adventure.

Our Style & Approach

Our philosophy is simple: every couple has a story worth telling. As a wedding photographer, we combine technical expertise with emotional awareness. This means adapting to different lighting conditions, guiding when needed, and stepping back when the moment calls for authenticity.

We photograph with intention. The way your gown flows, the way you look at each other, the way everyone gathers to celebrate your marriage — these details shape your gallery. By focusing on every detail, from composition to timing, we ensure your photos carry not just beauty but also depth.

For us, wedding planning is not only about logistics; it’s about creating space for genuine emotions. Our role is to help you truly enjoy the day while we take care of preserving it. With years of experience and dozens of events per year, we’ve learned how to balance creativity with reliability.

Can we customize our photography package?

Do you travel for destination weddings?


Absolutely. As wedding photographers Los Angeles, we are often invited to capture weddings in LA and abroad. Travel is part of what makes our work inspiring. Whether local or international, your celebration will be covered with the same care.

How far ahead should we book your team?


Most couples book 3–12 months in advance. Popular dates fill up quickly, especially in spring and fall. If your date is coming soon, reach out anyway — we’ll do our best to make it happen. The earlier you book, the smoother and more stress-free the planning will be.

How soon should we book?


We suggest reaching out at least six to twelve months in advance, especially for popular seasons. Some dates book quickly, but we always try to stay available to new clients. The earlier you secure your date, the smoother the planning process will be.

Yes. Many couples love the texture of analogue images combined with the clarity of digital. We’ll discuss your vision and create a gallery that blends both approaches seamlessly.
