Funico is simply AMAZING!!! We hired them to photograph our wedding, which took place in the fall of 2017. From the moment we chose them, we knew we had made a great decision! Work...
ing 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. 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!
Loved working with Funico for our 2015 wedding! Alice and James are so responsive and detail-oriented! Our pictures and video are just fabulous! Couldn't have asked for a better ph...

My husband and I got married in 2016 and were beyond happy with our photos/video! Alice and James were kind and courteous. All our questions were answered quickly and if we had any...
concerns they were handled and we were assured everything would work out! I feel like they went above and beyond and would highly recommmend them!
My husband and I got married in December and we were fortunate enough to work with Alice & James. First of all, they're great people (which ends up meaning a lot on the big day whe...
n emotions are running high.) We recently got our photos back and are beyond thrilled! The photos are creative and artistic- but there's just enough tradition (thanks James) to keep my mom happy. My wedding day was the best day of my life and funico captured that joy in the most perfect way! Thanks guys!
We recently got married and Funico studios Did the wedding. It was amazing to see how professional they were from the day we called them to get information to the wedding day. Alic...
e and her husband James are awesome! As their client I was extremely excited to see how enthused they were to making sure I have the best captions on my day. My photographer Jimmy was absolutely amazing. He made sure to capture every important moment throughout the eventful day and when we received our pictures, they were absolutely draw-dropping. Our wedding album is on its way and we're already anticipating a masterpiece. We highly recommend this place. Thank you again Alice for everything. Your favorite couple: Rose & Mack.
Alice and James were terrific. So easy to work with! Very communicative, flexible, fun. hey paid attention to every detail and really listened for what you wanted to capture. T...
he planning before our wedding was fabulous and we knoew that on the day they would take care of ewverything - and THEY did!! Their pictures were great - artistic, one of a kind. They worked GREAT with our 5 year old boys and the pictures were better than we could have ever wished!
My wife and I got married at the end of October and worked with both James and Alice from Funico Studios. The day could not have gone more smoothly, and both James and Alice were a...
HUGE part of that. Their pictures speak for themselves, and are very impressive. I was less than ten pictures into their portfolio when I knew we had to hire them. We shot our engagement pictures with James last November and they came out beautifully. My father, an amateur photographer, was blown away, along with the rest of our families. We knew we were in good hands for the big day, but what impressed us most was how easy and fun it was to work with them and how that made the day, which has the potential for being insanely stressful, worry-free.
We called James a week before the wedding as my wife wanted to make sure everything was in order for the big day. James worked with us closely to outline a schedule and coordinate when we would need to be at certain locations. At the end of the call he told us: “On October 29th, you don’t need to stress about the schedule or if everything goes according to plan. If something comes up, we will manage and move on. Just relax, have fun.” This put us at ease, and we felt more confident than ever that we had made the right choice.
That Saturday, James worked with the girls as they got ready, and Alice came to take pictures of the guys. James was on time, pleasant, and professional as usual. It was the first time I had met Alice, and I was immediately a fan. We put ourselves in her hands and she directed us effortlessly and covered the whole “getting ready” flawlessly. She laughed at all of our stupid jokes and made the whole process a lot of fun. At one point, as I’m not used to being photographed, I would hold my position to help her get the shot. She told me: “Just be natural, I’ll get it.” From that point, her camera clicks faded into the background, and produced some really stunning candid photos.
Later in the day, when we all came together, James and Alice worked together to cover the pre-ceremony group pictures. At times, they would both be snapping away, at other times, James would set up a really nice shot, and Alice would position the light and keep our energy up, while still laughing at our jokes. They both directed sixteen people with ease and stuck to an incredibly tight schedule. During the reception, they covered every inch of the grand ballroom, took photo requests from guests, and perhaps most impressively, did so without being intrusive. I wouldn’t have even known they were there without seeing them in other people's pictures!
My favorite moment came after my best man’s speech. I am big into television and he wrote and delivered a perfect toast referencing some of my favorite shows. As I was praising him for job well done, James came up to get a photo, and told my best man: “The speech was good, but I really think these people need to curb their enthusiasm.” I had thought highly of James before that, but that put him over the top.
The bottom line: Yes, the wedding is about the bride and groom. But if you want that day to live on forever, you need great photographers at the forefront. You can look at any of James’ and Alice’s photographs and know they are the right people for the job. Easy. Hired! But there’s so much more to be said for working with photographers who not only put you at ease, but who add to your celebration. They were the perfect people for the job, and they did a perfect job.
No words can describe the services we received and photography work done by Funico Studios. From the inception to the finale. A job well done! From the wedding portraits, the fram...
ed photos as gifts to our parents, our wedding album- all were truly Breathtaking as they came out much more beautiful than we expected.
I was looking for a wedding photographer that did work out-of-the-ordinary. I did not want the traditional wedding photo coverage but nothing over-the-top either. And that is what we got - truly a Fine Art Masterpiece! Classy, Simple and Beautiful! Pictures are so vivid and really a work of Fine Art.
As the bride, I teared up just looking at the final wedding photos and it brought me back to my special day.
Alice and James are very easy to work with and will work with you through every detail until you are satisfied. They truly understand how hectic and frustrating it can be and the demands that entail throughout the wedding planning process.
It was our pleasure working with such an experienced and professional wedding photography team, they will certainly be on our top wedding vendor recommendation!
Again, many thanks to Funico Studios for bringing back beautiful memories... that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Nicely Done!
We booked both Alice and James, who have very different styles, and we were so happy with the end result!
These guys are open to just about anything, but were also happy to take...
charge whenever they had an idea.
From our engagement photo session (at which James stayed about an extra 30 minutes in order to get the best shots possible during dusk) to the amazing photos they managed to get at the wedding to the timeliness of receiving our wedding photos when they had been promised, we were so happy with our decision!
At the end of the day, the photos are really the only thing you get to keep (other than your new spouse!), and Alice and James truly captured the day for us! I can't recommend them highly enough!
Almost 9 months later and we still can't believe how James made our magical day and captured the most memorable moments to last our lifetime...we were in good hands from the start ...
and never spoke to any other photographers...the funico team is exceptional and incredibly professional, personal and make it so comfortable and smooth...there are not enough stars to rate this team and we thank them sincerely for making our day more memorable than possible!
Funico Studios shot our engagement and wedding photos. Overall, we were happy with our experience. Alice, the co-owner, went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our pictu...

You need a great photography/videography team to capture your perfect day! FUNICO is the one, they will help you to remember it forever and those beautiful photos are going to hel...
p you with that. Our Pictures turned out like they were meant to be printed in a magazine!
We were very pleased with how our wedding pictures came out. Alice put together a slideshow for us to share with family and friends while waiting for the rest of the photos, our photographer and videographer did an awesome job easy to work with they make us so comfortable doing all the photos. Words cannot even describe how satisfied I am with James and his wife Alice and the rest of the FUNICO team.
I am very impressed with the service this vendor provided to us, and highly recommend them! You just found your BEST wedding photographers and videographers you can find. Trust me and you will be glad you did :)
We are so happy with Funico Studios! Alice and James were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had an outdoor ceremony, and the weather throughout the day was iffy. They did a gre...
at job finding pockets of sunshine to capture beautiful outdoor pictures - and we never felt like we were missing out on our event. We felt very comfortable with them; also, they did a great job interacting with our families and our guests. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and thorough. High quality, great value, fantastic experience overall! We can't thank them enough!
I researched wedding photographers very throughly and am very picky. I do not really like the traditional photos at weddings (aka "everyone jump up", "everyone make a serious face...
", "everyone make a silly face", etc.) and when I saw the photos on Funico Studios website I was sold. They are very photo journalistic style, capturing the raw emotion of the day and allowing people to enjoy themselves without intrusive photographers. I was scared to email and ask about pricing as I assumed it would be way out of budget since they were fantastic photos but they were realistic and willing to work with a budget. Alice and James are extremely friendly and grounded people that make you feel right at home when you meet them. I should be getting our photos soon and I can not wait to see them! If they are half as nice as the ones from previous weddings we are in for a real treat.
We loved our photographers. The packaging was a bit pricier than we would have liked to pay, but the service was excellent and we can't wait to see our photos. They were very profe...
ssional and patient with everyone. They even stayed a little longer (pass their contract time) to take additional photos for us. Highly recommended.
He was always there for important moments, but never ever at all intrusive. Got people to relax.
