We LOVED working with Funico Studios! We met James and Alice pre-pandemic when they were photographing another wedding where I was a bridesmaid. It was such a great experience we knew we had to book them for ours. They are wonderful to work with - very helpful and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and once we finally got closer to the big day, they answered all our questions beforehand and provided fantastic, professional service the day of. James and Alice are true artists, and their talents show through in the photos.
For the wedding day itself we had James behind the camera and Ryan as our videographer. James made the photo-taking process so much fun and really put us at ease. The final photos are absolutely stunning and brought back so many great memories of the day. James captured amazing moments at the reception and I didn't even realize he was right there. Ryan was also wonderful to work with - fun and personable and we are thrilled with how our highlights video turned out - we can't wait to see the long one!
Not only are they talented but they are incredibly nice people and so easy to work with. Our whole experience with Funico Studios was fantastic and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer and videographer team for their big day!

Just had our wedding yesterday so I don't have any photos yet! But Alice was so helpful and answered all my questions quickly, and our photographer Brian was amazing. You could tell he loves his craft he made sure to get all the photos we wanted and more! If your looking for talent and photos that look great for years to come I'd choose funico!

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!

Funico is simply AMAZING! We hired them to photograph our wedding, which took place on September 17, 2017. From the moment we chose them, we knew we had made a great decision! Working with Alice and James was truly a pleasure, they are so very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They knew off the top of their heads the layout of our venue (Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle, NY).
They are well-versed in all aspects of a tradition Jewish wedding. Alice and James were always quick to respond to our questions and willing to talk by phone, email, whatever was best for us. They very patiently explained all the various options and we never felt they were trying to force the more expensive options on us. For the wedding itself, we had James and Kevin, who were spectacular!
Our family and friends (and ourselves!) are so pleased with how the photos came out and capture so well the memories of such a special day in our lives. We cannot say enough good things about Funico and would totally hire them again. Thank you Alice, James and Kevin for being so pleasant to work with and doing such a wonderful job of photographing our wedding!

The best decision my husband I could make! We absolutely loved having Alice and her husband James as our photographers on our wedding day. They were able to capture every moment that really meant something to us. I'd also like to mention that they were not invasive, like I've seen other photographers be during the ceremony or reception. We have gotten nothing but compliments on how amazing the photos came out and we would highly recommend them to anyone getting married or needing a photographer! Thank you both so much for capturing the most important day of our lives so far! We hope you had fun too!

Simply the best! I can't recommend Funico Studios enough for whatever event you'd like to have photographed. My wife and I hired Funico to photograph our wedding this past July and it was easily one of the best decisions we made. From a planning perspective, Alice and James were fantastic.they answered all of our questions and patiently helped us determine how we really wanted to visually capture our wedding.
We loved how they carefully explained all our options and willingly offered their advice from both a personal and professional perspective. They responded to our many emails quickly and called us on the phone whenever we needed. For the day of the wedding, our photographer Jimmy was incredible. He alone was worth every penny! He took the most amazing photos that we are absolutely in love with.
More importantly, he went far above and beyond to put us in just the right moods and positions to really make our day that much more special. I cannot recommend this company enough and would hire them again and again.

My husband and I were married on Palm Sunday and started planning our wedding over a year ago. We chose Funico Studios because they photographed my sister's wedding over 10 years ago and I was impressed with their work. It was the only photographer we looked at. We initially met with Alice (husband and wife team) who was vibrant, enthusiastic and bubbly.
It's hard not to instantly love her. She was patient and detailed oriented. We have lots of questions and she addressed them all. Most importantly, they were affordable and fair. Her husband James did the photography on our wedding day and he was amazing! He was punctual, nicely dressed, and guided us through every step of the way. He worked for the entire time he was there.
Didn't appear to sit down at all. He was pleasant, funny and made us all feel comfortable. They are a great team and I highly recommend Funico Studios for your wedding or special events.

Words cannot express what a wonderful experience it has been using Funico Studios to photograph my wedding day. From the first phone call I made to Alice inquiring about their services, she and her husband James have been a pleasure to work with. Patient, kind, honest, helpful, professional, fun, and reliable are just a few words I would use to describe my experience with them. Alice is friendly and always on the ball.
She answers questions and emails with ease and is quite quick! James took time out of his busy schedule to create a timeline of events for my wedding day that I wanted photographed. He made some valuable suggestions which made for a perfect "flow of the day" and the pictures proved just that. James and Alice arrived on time and got right to work! They snapped away and took pictures of everything I wanted photographed and then some.
Not only did they take lots of pictures, but more importantly they captured moments. I can feel the emotion in some of the candid pictures they took. I also love how they used different lighting techniques to capture some very artistic pictures and the essence of my Fall wedding. I have gotten so many compliments on the quality and originality of my wedding pictures and am extremely pleased with them myself.
I am in the post-wedding stage of creating my thank you cards and album. Alice has been dependable and prompt with creating a beautiful website and slideshow of my pictures to view and share with friends and family. I am looking forward to seeing how my thank you cards and album came out. I am sure they will be beautiful! As you can tell from my review, I highly recommend using Funico Studios for any special occasion; as their work will capture your most special moments and leave you with photos of memories to last a lifetime!

We absolutely LOVED working with James and Alice this past May for our wedding. They saw the exact vision we had wanted in our photos. The photography was incredible, and they really knew how to position everyone in the perfect spots to make the most beautiful photos. In addition, Alice and James were such a pleasure to work with. They were very warm and welcoming to our ideas, and worked very hard in understanding exactly what type of photos we wanted before our wedding day.
They were also very good at responding to our phone calls, emails, etc., without making us feel like we were a bother. On the day of our wedding we couldn't have asked for more patient or talented photographers. Alice and James have such an eye for photography, and while it felt like they weren't there, they captured some amazing shots! My husband and I highly recommend Funico studios! Thank you Alice and James :
