About

Husband-and-wife led team. Award-winning New York wedding photographers and videographers. Creative. Reliable. Trusted.

Our names are actually Alice & James Thompson, not Alice & James Funico (though we've gotten mail addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Funico!) We created the word "funico" because we wanted a name that people would remember and something that includes the word "fun" in it. Your wedding is a celebration and all parts of it should be FUN!

Our goal is to document the many emotions of your wedding day. We are unobtrusive observers who anticipate and capture the smiles from the heart, the spontaneous gestures of your love, and the rhythm of your celebration.

We absolutely recommend Funico!

My wife and I cannot praise Funico enough. We had a two-day Indian/Western fusion Sangeet & wedding and our photographers/videographers were with us every step of the way with fun dispositions, professional demeanor, and passion for their craft.

Brian (photographer) was imaginative and adventurously creative with shots and made us feel at ease. Dan (photographer) was equally engaging and adept. Also, an important issue for us was that the photographers not obstruct guests' views and feel a little too *present*. They were not. They just blended into the background while still getting amazing photos that we look back on with immense joy. The final products were outstanding. Funico's samples on their website already speak for themselves and drew us to them in the first place.

And Alice was a delight! She was our first contact point with Funico and she was assuring, understanding, and communicative. We knew we were in good hands.

If looking for a wedding photographer, we strongly believe you should consider Funico Studios!

Amazing photos - highly recommend!

James was perfect choice as our wedding photographer! He recommended first look venues and locations based on our vision and wedding location. We love the intimate bride/groom shots, as well as the special moments James captured with family and friends!

Amazing photography and cinematography!

I don't even know where to begin so I'll just start by saying we're SO glad we went with Funico Studios for our wedding. From start to finish they were always available helping us with whatever questions or concerns we had. They took away the stress of planning the day of the wedding by preparing a timeline we would follow. Having that timeline down was such a relief! We didn't have to worry about where we'd be taking pictures or with whom. They already knew the best places to photograph but would always indulge us if we wanted specific pictures. The quality of the pictures and cinematography were also astounding! We posted our wedding video for friends and family to see and they could not stop talking about how amazing it came out. Thank you so much, Alice, James, Bryan, and Thomas! You all helped make our wedding day the greatest day of our lives!

5 stars just aren't enough

Alice and James are an absolute pleasure to work with! They are fun, professional, and know how to keep things light. Choosing pictures for the album was very difficult since every picture came out perfect! I would highly recommend Funico Studios to anyone who is looking for a pair of photographers who are guaranteed to deliver!

Of all the vendors that I worked with for my wedding, Funico Studios was the best. James was my photographer and not only could you tell he cared about his work, but he was critical in making sure the day ran smoothly. Before the wedding, he created a timeline of photos to take, based on my preferences, and he made sure the day followed the timeline well. His calm presence was much needed for my nerves! My wedding day was an unusually hot and humid May day, and we all felt the heat. However, the heat did not phase James and he took amazing photos. Our photos came out amazing, and you couldn't even tell we were melting under the sun! Working with them was so easy! With regards to logistics, and contracts, we spoke with Alice on the phone, and she is so fun and bubbly, it made everything so easy. Her laugh is infectious and she is responsive and organized. I would highly recommend this team for all your wedding photo needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As a new bride things at the beginning can be overwhelming, after interviewing so many photographers I knew that James and his team were the ones for me. Right from the beginning he gave me a sheet that helped me decide what pictures i really wanted capture and made me feel at ease that the day of my wedding the moments most important to me would not be missed. Now as a wedding planner myself, I would feel comfortable and confident sending one of my clients to James (Funico Studios) because I know that they would be as professional as if it were their own wedding.
