Elopement Photo Package - Whispers in the Wild
FEATURED photos · new YorkYour NYC Elopement, in Photographs
Whispers in the Wild is our smallest photography package and the entry point for couples marrying on a short timeline — a ceremony, portraits, and a first meal rather than a full day. It fits City Hall and courthouse weddings, outdoor elopements, and days with under 20 guests. Best for: couples eloping in and around New York, City Hall and courthouse ceremonies, and anyone who wants photography for the ceremony and portraits without booking a full wedding day.

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 elopement photos carry that same editorial, cinematic eye.
