Manhattan Wedding Videographer – Arrakis Films
Luxury Cinematic Wedding Films & Photography
Capture your wedding day with an award-winning wedding videographer in Manhattan
Cinematic Wedding Video
Manhattan is the heart of New York City, where every street corner feels like a scene from a film. From Central Park to iconic rooftops with skyline views, the borough offers endless opportunities for cinematic wedding videos. Our approach focuses on storytelling — capturing both grand gestures and quiet emotions. With careful attention to light, composition, and rhythm, we create a wedding film that reflects the energy of Manhattan while keeping your love at the center.
Super 8 Wedding Video
For couples who want a touch of nostalgia, Super 8 is a perfect choice. Its vintage texture and warmth turn your day into something that feels timeless. Imagine walking through the Upper East Side or sharing vows by the Hudson River, filmed with the soft grain and unique character of Super 8. The result is a wedding video that feels raw, personal, and unforgettable — a true keepsake that reflects both your story and the city’s charm.
Luxury & High-End Wedding Films
Manhattan is home to some of the world’s most luxurious wedding venues — from grand hotels to historic ballrooms and private clubs. Our high-end wedding films highlight the elegance of these spaces while preserving the intimacy of your emotions. We capture every detail: the décor, the atmosphere, the energy of the celebration. Your film becomes a balance of sophistication and authenticity, ensuring your wedding day is remembered with artistry and style.
Elopement Wedding Videos
For couples who want to escape tradition, Manhattan offers countless possibilities for elopements. Exchange vows in Central Park, on a quiet rooftop terrace, or at City Hall — each setting is full of character. Our elopement wedding videos focus on your connection, documenting the promises, the laughter, and the tender moments. With Manhattan as the backdrop, your elopement feels both personal and cinematic, a story told with depth and beauty.
Small & Intimate Wedding Cinematography
Some of the most memorable weddings are small gatherings with close friends and family. Manhattan provides endless options for intimate venues: boutique hotels, hidden gardens, and stylish lofts. Our cinematography approach is unobtrusive, allowing us to capture genuine emotions and candid interactions. These films highlight not just the events of the day but the feelings that defined it, giving you a warm and authentic memory to return to for years.
Destination Wedding Videography
While Manhattan is our home base, your story may take you far beyond the city. We love traveling with couples to capture destination weddings around the world. Whether it’s the vineyards of California, the beaches of Mexico, or historic cities in Europe, our destination videography blends your journey into the narrative. Starting in Manhattan, your wedding film becomes more than documentation — it becomes a cinematic piece that reflects love without borders.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
How do you film on the wedding day?
We focus on real moments and natural storytelling. Our team stays behind the scenes, capturing the energy and emotions of your day. The result is a warm, cinematic wedding film filled with sincerity, spontaneity, and honest beauty — one you’ll love watching again
Super 8 or Digital — What’s the difference?
Super 8 feels vintage and nostalgic, like an old home movie with warm tones and texture. Digital is crisp, clean, and modern, with dynamic editing and vibrant color. Many couples mix both to blend timeless charm with a fresh cinematic touch. It's the best of both worlds.
Can we customize our wedding package?
Of course! Our base packages start at $2,000 for either photo or video. From there, you can add hours, Super 8, or tailored edits. We work closely with every couple to match the energy, budget, and style of the day. Your film will feel like you — genuine and unforgettable.
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.
Do we get to pick the music for film
We choose licensed music that fits your vibe and story. If you share favorite genres or moods, we’ll suggest soundtracks that match. Our goal is to craft a rhythm that elevates the film without distracting from the visuals. It’s all about feeling, not just sound
Do you film destination weddings as well?
Yes, we travel worldwide for weddings! Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement or a beach ceremony abroad, we’ll bring our cinematic eye to your location. We love discovering new places and telling love stories in unforgettable settings. Wherever you go, we’ll be there.
