My husband and I have nothing but the best things to say about Funico Studios. Alice and James compliment each other perfectly, and helped make our big day so special. Let me rewind, and talk about what a great experience having our engagement pictures done this past summer was, first. James graciously dealt with our reschedules and my obsessive worrying about locations, weather, timing, etc. I consider both my husband and I a bit on the camera shy side, but we warmed up to James within minutes. We had such a fun day, and the pictures came out amazing. Our friends and family especially loved the montage Funico put together for us. A movie of our best pictures set to music - I must have watched it one hundred times. On our wedding day, Alice and James were the definition of professionals. They were there when we wanted them to be, they gave space when we needed it, and they had amazing ideas for pictures. Alice and James respectfully took us outside of our venue at one point in the night for what I'm sure will be amazing night time photos in front of the country clubs fountain. I am so happy they did that, and can absolutely not wait to see the pictures. Message me if you have specific questions about Funico, but in short they are professional, responsive (which is huge for a busy bride!) and take gorgeous pictures. Also, their prices did not break the bank! I would highly recommend them to any bride and groom!

Simply amazing. We looked at a number of photographers' portfolios before deciding on Funico, and I cannot express how happy we are with our decision to go with Alice and James. Even though I knew that Alice and James' style was exactly what we were looking for, I was still completely blown away by the photos and slideshow they provided us from our wedding. They managed to capture our wedding more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. Highly, highly recommended.

Funico's husband and wife team are awesome. Yes they are pricey, but you get what you pay for. I have many friends who used very good photographers and I must say quality and finished look of our photos are the best. (and no I'm not biased)... In fact I'm one of those people who don't look at photos all that much and it took us 6 months to even choose photos for our album. The photographers were recommended by family. And when there was fear of rain for the big day James was quick to give lots of indoor venue alternatives. Alice is quick to respond and always communicated with us, even when they went on vacation!

Alice & James are wonderful. From the first time we met them my husband and I got a great vibe from them and we all just clicked. They did our engagement photos, maternity photos and wedding. They're work is remarkable and they both being different things to the table. So with both of them you're sure to get great artistic shots. It never felt like we were working with strangers. They make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and set a laid back atmosphere so you know you'll get great pictures! They are so worth every penny we spent. I haven't gotten the finished product of my wedding album yet but all the other photos they've done for us are so special. There's no other way to put it, Funico Studios is simply the best!

Alice and James are a great team! They take the best pictures, are unbelievable friendly, very reliable and great to work with!
I got married on September 14t, Alice and James where there to document everything, and they did a great job! We have the most amazing Wedding pictures and we did not even wait long to get them (which I know is a big problem with other photographers out there)!
I can highly recommend this husband and wife team for your wedding, they are amazing and take the best pictures.

Alice and James with Funico Photography, where should I start....From the first moment I met with Alice, I know that my Husband and I will be hiring them. My first meeting with Alice helped me foresee what my wedding day will be like and all the details that will take place. Alice was asking all the right questions, which lead me to visualize my wedding day and better plan the events that will take place. Their planner document really walks you through the events and what is important to you. They are very professional, prompt, and fun to work with. I so far ordered guest book and Thank You cards and they are both just fabulous. I also have received all the photos and video, which were spectacular. Our package included an engagement session, which I think is a must! James photographed the engagement session and went above and beyond. I recommend Funico to anyone and everyone who is having an event to remember. My husband and I are extremely pleased with their work; I can't wait to use them again one day in the near future.

Photography was one of the most important factors in planning my wedding. Since I planned my wedding myself, I wanted to make sure that our photographers were not only talented, but professionals that would work hard to create the memories of our day. Funico Studios was AMAZING! I would recommend them to any and every bride. They are wonderfully talented photographers who made our pictures look like works of art. They captured everything from the scenery, to the small details, to the emotion of the day. Their photos captured our wedding in the most beautiful way. Many of my friends have raved over our pictures. In fact, our package included custom thank you cards. When our friends and family got our custom thank yous (with pictures from our wedding) they could not stop raving. And that was only the thank you card! One of my friends said that when she saw the front of the thank you card with our picture, she thought it was a postcard or a painting it was so beautiful. Also, they were like ninjas at our wedding. Most of the time, I didn't even know they were there snapping away, but the photos they shot were so lovely. They don't just have talent, they have vision, and it comes across in their work so perfectly!

Now, there is no question that Funico Studios is talented, but you're not just hiring talent. You're hiring people. What struck me most about James and Alice when I went to see them was how easy they were to talk to. They are such a sweet and genuine couple, that I didn't just love their work, I began to like them as well. We had interviewed with several photographers, but once I met them, it was a no-brainer. They are warn people, and we felt so comfortable around them. If you want photographers who are talented, warm, and professional, Funico it is!

This is a fairly long review. In summary: James and Alice are amazing. From the planning process to the product, they are incredible.
I did A LOT of research before choosing a photographer. Funico allowed me to review many photos from a number of different weddings they had photographed. This meant that I saw the product that clients actually received after their wedding day.

Why did I pick Funico? They truly capture beautiful, emotional moments in every wedding. Equally impressive, their photojournalistic style allows their work to reflect the individual nature and feeling of each of the many different weddings they photograph.

Pre-Wedding Planning: During the planning process they were very patient with me. They took the time to answer all of my questions. They even helped me organize the timeline of my day make sure I would get the most of the time we had to photograph. They asked which types of shots were most important to me and which shots I didn't want them to miss.

Wedding Day: They seamlessly orchestrated the "first look", family photos, and bridal party pictures. They made everybody feel comfortable. My husband and I are not especially relaxed in front of a camera but they made it easy for us. No cheesy shots - just us truly enjoying each other and our wedding day. During the ceremony and wedding, they were completely unobtrusive.

Note if you are getting married at Snug Harbor: This is a huge property. Alice and James know it very well. They knew where to take which shots, at which time of day so the light would be most flattering.

The product: Incredible. Beautiful. My wedding had a vintage inspired feeling, and their photographs captured the experience and sense of the day beautifully. The emotion they captured in my family and loved ones faces (including my husband and I) was perfect.

Working with Funico Studios was such a pleasure! Alice and James were so kind and helpful and always quick to respond to questions and requests. They made the whole day go so smoothly and were not the "in your face" type photographers. Our pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! we could not have asked for more. I got so many compliments on our slide show and people are now going out of their way to tell me how much they like our thank you cards! That's not something you usually hear about.
I would recommend Funico Studios to anyone and everyone!

Alice and James are a joy to work with; artistic, professional, and speedy with communication- so clutch! My husband and I opted out of videography for our special day so we were relying on Funico big time to capture our wedding memories. Between the breathtaking photos and a slideshow that still brings me to tears every time, we have no regrets! Funico completely exceeded our expectations.

Amazing photography, Amazing People, Amazing Value. Alice and James are wonderful people and a pleasure to work with. They are so sweet, prompt and on-the-ball, they made planning the photo/video portion of my wedding a breeze. Rob Lowell and Arthur took the photos during my wedding, and I cannot say enough nice things about them both. They are wonderful to work with, took charge in the middle of the wedding-day chaos, and work great as a team. Alice and James worked an engagement photo shoot into the original price quote so the groom and I could get to know Rob before the big day, which was a great idea. In doing that, we also go to see the quality of the photos that Rob took before the wedding, which we were really pleased with. We scheduled the shoot in Central Park on one of the hottest days of the summer, and Rob was such a trooper! He directed us perfectly and knew the best backdrops in the park to incorporate into the shoot. He took such beautiful photo-journalistic style shots that were both posed and candid.

We have yet to create/order the photo album from the wedding, although I'm confident that it'll turn out as beautiful as the photos. I also can't review the videographer as I haven't really seen his work, but I really liked how Funico Studios priced the photo and video into one package deal- it made my life a little easier, and was a great value! Would definitely recommend Funico Studios!!

Amazing. First, the photographs were amazing! Exactly what we wanted. Funico really captured the energy and spirit of our wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice in using these talented New York wedding photographers.

But perhaps more importantly, the album! Alice has an amazing eye for layout and presentation. These days, when it is so easy to make your own album online, Alice is proof that sometimes there are good reasons to hire a professional. Not only was her design beautiful, but she also exhibited tremendous patience in taking comments from a very opinionated family. Just to hammer home this point, we wound up ordering numerous large prints of album pages because the wedding photography + layout deserved a larger print than the album could hold.


My wife and I could not have been more pleased.

For anyone looking for a unique, fun, professional, and authentic New York City photo experience, Funico photography is without a doubt your one stop shop for incredible photo's at an affordable price. James was incredible to work with and was very mobile. Our photo shoot started near Central Park, throughout Central Park, Subways, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Flatiron District. James and Alice had the subway lines pre planned to maximize photo time. The photos speak for the themselves...truly amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an "I Love NYC" photo shoot to give James or Alice a call.

Funico studios provided outstanding photography for our wedding. Alice and James are husband and wife, and they work together extremely well. Both are very talented photographers, with a calming, professional presence. They were always responsive, and very easy to work with. They took amazing photographs and made them available within weeks of the big day. They even surprised us with some sneak preview postings on Facebook, which our friends and family loved. They took a great variety of candids, portraits, and some cool, but classy special effects. Their website is professional, and well organized and it makes the ordering/album process relatively easy (given that we had over 1500 pictures to choose from). They even made personalized Thank You cards for us, and had them delivered to our house within a week of ordering. We also did an amazing engagement shoot with them, which really helped prep us for the big day. The photos are beautiful, and its great to have shots of us in "normal" clothes. The full package is a little pricey, but well worth every penny! We have amazing images that will last us a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend Funico Studios!
