FEATURED photos · new YorkAbout the First Light NYC Wedding Photo Package
First Light is our essentials wedding photo package for couples getting married in NYC. One photographer covers up to six hours of your day, from getting ready through the ceremony and into the reception, and delivers 200+ edited high-resolution images that read like a story of the day rather than a set of poses. Every gallery is finished with one consistent, editorial look, and it is yours to download and share for a year. It fits couples who want full photo coverage of the day without a full 8 to 10 hour production.

Arrakis Films is led by Andrew and Roma, who came to weddings from film. Andrew is an award-winning director who builds every shoot on dramaturgy and a director's eye. Roma is a producer who spent ten years on the Bolshoi Theatre stage before moving into film, and brings fashion storytelling and the discipline of the stage to every shoot. Between them they have made festival-awarded shorts, commercials for Adidas, Nutella, and Mercedes, and music videos. Your wedding photos carry that same editorial, cinematic eye.
