FEATURED FILM · new YorkYour NYC Elopement, as a Film
Runaways in Love is our video-only elopement package for couples getting married in NYC. One videographer stays with you for up to four hours, from getting ready through your vows, and edits the day into a cinematic highlight film and a short trailer with your real voices in it. It fits City Hall mornings, Central Park ceremonies, and just-the-two-of-you days in the city. Want photos too? Vows in the Wind puts a photographer and videographer on the same day.

Arrakis Films is led by Andrew and Roma, who came to weddings from film. Andrew is an award-winning director who builds every film 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 elopement gets that same cinematic language.
