Max told us he would be our wedding photographer. On the day of my wedding, 2 strangers came to my parents home saying they worked for Max. The whole day was awful. The pictures showed how unskilled these other people truly were. THEN, after waiting for the albums for several months, max said he no longer lived in Kingston and that we had to drive to his new home in new Rochelle near the city. Max would not pay the $30 in shipping fees to send our albums. After more than $5,000 spent, I am disappointed in the product and the experience that I will never have again. Buyer beware! Max is a liar.
He takes beautiful artistic pictures. He was good to me and my husband but he was kind of tough on our bridal party at times. If you can take a little rousing then it is worth it because the pictures were perfect
Max was our photographer for our wedding in August of 2013. Choosing our photographer was probably the hardest wedding decision that we made. He had to be somebody that we got along with, and was willing to move around and get all those angles and great shots, and of course he had to be affordable… Max was all of those things and more!! He was so easy to get in touch with throughout the whole process and was able to work around our budget which was important to us. We wanted great pictures but did not want to spend an arm and a leg. We weren’t into the fact that many photographers had pre-set packages that could not be changed and you were forced to pay for things you did not want and if you wanted something extra; that would obviously be extra too. Max was great!! He sat down with us and asked us exactly what we wanted and didn’t want and then made a package just for us. He was relaxed and gave us that feeling of he knew what he was doing and things would run smoothly. He also had lots of great wedding advice for us in order to help keep us on schedule on the big day. Although, I never noticed him at the wedding or the reception many guest said that they would see him dart across the floor in order to get an important shot. We cannot thank Max enough for all the time and effort he put in to our wedding. I was a very hands off bride and wanted to hire professionals that knew what they were doing and that I did not have to micro manage. After the wedding Max began to ask about our album and keeping with my hands off approach I completely trust Max to choose the pictures and create an amazing album for us. Thank you again Max for helping us to keep all of these wonderful memories.
I'm not the type who likes being photographed at all. Despite that, Max was able to capture breathtaking photos of our wedding day. I'm so glad we trusted him with such an important job, he is a true professional.
I used Maximilian Nucci for my wedding at the Full Moon resort this past June and he was incredible. Not only did my pictures come out absolutely gorgeous, but he was super funny and really was able to help round up the troops for the photos. My mother and mother-in-law were both very impressed and a few guests kept asking "where did you find your photographer - he's great"! One thing I loved was that during the reception, you would never even know he was there, and yet the photos he was able to get were amazing. I hate when you are at a wedding and it feels like paparazzi is also attending. Max was very personal, attentive, and very accommodating with all of our requests. He was also incredibly responsive to all of my questions and concerns during the months following up to the wedding. I would recommend him to any bride - you will not regret it!!
Wonderful service from the moment Max showed up. He knew what he wanted photos of and went ahead and did what was necessary to get the best. From the preparation to the ceremony, their outdoor pictures and the reception everything went smoothly and the pictures are amazing. I only met Max & Lucia on my daughter's final meeting with them and I knew immediately that they made the right choice.
Max is wonderful & highly professional.He made us feel at home & has a great eye for romance. Phenomenal all around. His wife Lucia is the glue that binds, she is so sweet & helpful.
I planned my wedding from 600 miles away and Max was so helpful with everything. Any questions or concerns that we had, Max and Lucia got back to us quickly. Our pictures are incredible. Everyone that has seen them thinks they could be out of a magazine. Max is very funny and easy to work with which helps take the awkwardness out of having your picture taken a million times. He is also not rude, which was important to me since my husband and I have both been in weddings with rude/pushy photographers. Max has a great eye and takes beautiful photos. We are so impressed and glad that we were able to work with him.
Some hidden fee's if you need your engagement or wedding pictures on a cd. But over all he did an amazing job. This man as extreme talent! Our bridal party consisted of 18 people and he did a fantastic job to work with all the personalities,
Working with Max and Lucia has been quite a pleasure. Lucia is very sweet and responsive. Whenever I had a question or concern, she always returned the call or answered my email right away. Max’s work is absolutely stunning. All you need to do is check out his website and/or Facebook page to understand just how beautifully he captures all those great moments of that special day. I remember looking at wedding pictures on his website and hoping that mine would turn out just as beautiful and unique. Let me tell you, I was speechless when I viewed my pictures. From the black & whites, to the color, to the different angles, Max captured every special moment, every tear, every smile. The pictures are just breath taking. I went with the Photojournalism solely because I like the idea that Max would just hang out in the background and capture all the candid shots. I personally didn’t want the formal photo shoots, but that was my preference. It went very smoothly and Max was funny and professional throughout the entire day. He also knew how to take order on some rowdy bridal party members which was very helpful to me!!! Price is very reasonable for the packages offered. Do yourself a favor and meet with Max for a consultation. Once you see his photos, slideshows, and albums, you would be extremely satisfied and want to book MAXIMILIAN B. NUCCI PHOTOGRAPHY!!!
Max was absolutely the perfect photographer for us. Not only is his work outstanding, his humor and energy added to our day and the quality of our photos immensely. Additionally, Max's expertise was something that we could rely on with regard to scheduling and timing throughout both the planning process and the day of the wedding.
I was the maid of honor in my sisters wedding that Max photographed. At first he was kind and funny but as the night went on his attitude completely changed with me. I asked him to take a "sister shot" which i didn't think was such a bad request. but as the night went on i asked him to take another picture and he snapped at me saying that it was not my wedding and i needed to stop trying to be the center of attention and to wait for my wedding. i admit maybe it was not my place to ask him to take pictures, but i am family, and it was family shots. he should have had a more professional answer if i upset him that much.
when my sister went to pick out her pictures he never explanied to her that he was going to use his watermark on her pictures. when she asked about them his assistant told her that it would be extra money to have them removed. something that was never discussed before the wedding. my sister tried to call him after that and speak to him about the situation and that he would not speak to her or return her phone calls. then his assistant told her the pictures are cheaper to buy from them on there off season, which is when her wedding was. they were just trying to get money any way they could from her.
My husband and I recently had Maximilian B. Nucci studio as our Wedding Photographer. We love Max. He does amazing work, producing beautiful pictures and lasting memories. He is fairly noninvasive during the wedding and knows exactly what shots he wants to get. He is a true artist. We look forward to working with him on our wedding album.
My husband and I can't say enough about Max and his team. From the very fist meeting to discuss packages, even through now as we design our album, both Max a Lucia have been beyond attentive to us. Aside from their outstanding courtesy and professionalism, the photos are absolutely breathtaking; all of our guests who have viewed our online gallery have not stop talking about how amazing the photos truly are. I still tear up when I view the slideshow preview Max put together for us!!
Max did an amazing job ensuring that the best shots were taken, all while keeping us on time. We were dead set on getting to our cocktail hour on time, and thanks to Max, we arrived right on schedule without compromising a single shot! Once at the reception, Max stayed with us until the final song; He was with us for a total of 12 hours!!!
We would like to thank Max and his team from the bottom of our hearts for the truly amazing experience they have given us. We will be able to relive our special day for years to come with the phenomenal photos he has taken for us.
My wedding was literally just a few days ago and it was perfect! It helped a lot that we had such a brilliant and upbeat photographer...Max. In all sincere honesty, we could not have asked for a better person to capture all the beautiful moments during our ceremony and reception. Max is a wonderful photographer and was constantly doing things that would make us laugh and just have an even better time. He was VERY accommodating and always made sure to fullfill whatever requests we had, even during the day of the wedding. He provided us with a WIDE range of various types of photos including different textures, tones, colors, and angles of the shots he took. While we were looking online at the pictures he took, my husband and I were just in absolute awe of the fantastic shots that were taken and we were so incredibly pleased at how well everything was done and the fact that Max was always ontop of things. Not only does Max take amazing photographs, but he also wastes no time in getting the pictures up online for people to see...we were looking at all of ours on his website just last night...only THREE days after our wedding.
If you're planning a wedding in the Hudson Valley, I HIGHLY recommend Maximilian B. Nucci Photography as the person you go to. I gurantee that you will not be disappointed in any way.
I have nothing but great things to say about Max and his services! He suggested we do an engagement session and initially we thought we could do without one, but it turned out to be a great experience and helped us to get ready for the big day! The session allowed us to get familiar with Max and his photographing style (at times dancing to get us to laugh naturally, lol) as well as become comfortable taking pictures with each other. On the big day I was completely stressed and worried about everything, but Max was calm and in control. He had wedding tips about everything, even down to what to do with those strings inside the wedding dress! It rained on the day of our wedding, but Max made the pictures work despite the weather. The pictures were up on line very quickly, about 2 days later, and they turned out better than I could have imagined. I can't stop looking at them! Thank you Max for doing such an amazing job!
I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Max and Lucia :-) I actually found Max through reviews that I read online through various wedding websites. I loved the examples of the pictures that I found online and on his own website. Every time I looked at other photographers pictures online, I found myself comparing them to Max's. I ALWAYS went back to his pictures. So within the first two or three weeks of my engagement, I had set up an appointment with Max. When I met him, I KNEW he was the photographer for us :-) He is really personable and funny and his work is even more beautiful in person!! The albums he showed us were absolutely gorgeous. We signed with him right then and there!! I had a lot of contact with Lucia, who was my contact person, via email...she always got back to me VERY quickly when I emailed her with any questions I may have had. We had a great engagement photo session a few months before we got married. The pictures were beautiful and Max had them up online within a few days. I thought the engagement session was a great way to get use to having my pictures taken....it was like a run through before the day of the wedding....and I definitely felt much more comfortable on the day of the wedding :-) We had a few more conference calls with both Max and Lucia in the weeks before the wedding to make sure we had everything in order. They made it sooooo easy for the day of the wedding :-) And on our wedding day, Max was fantastic!! He brought another photographer with him who was also wonderful. They were amazingly easy to work with and were creative in the shots that they took of us. We only got married two weeks ago and we already have the proofs online to go through. The pictures are gorgeous and I'm seeing how hard it is going to be to narrow down the ones we want in our album. I would HIGHLY recommend Max to any bride to be!! He and Lucia are amazing!! You get really sweet, caring, and professional people and gorgeous photos to remember your big day!! Thanks Max and Lucia!! You are fantastic!! :-)
If you're looking for the untraditional, modern photograph Max is the person for you. The photos came out great and can't wait to get our prints made.
Out of all the vendors I had on my wedding day, Max was without a doubt the best. His passion for photography shines through his lens with every shot. His work is absolutely amazing! He truly captured all the love and happiness we felt that day.
My parents and in-laws loved their photo album. Max was amazing. He took all the right shots and he took so many pictures it was just perfect.
Picking Max as our photographer was the perfect choice. Our pictures turned out so beautiful and really capture the entire day. He took over 700 pictures and everyone is better then the next. He was very easy to work with and made my husband and I feel very comfortable. The second photographer that came with Max was also wonderful. We would highly recommend them to anyone!
Max is a wonderful person that captures your wedding day like a story out of a fairytale book. He got all the right shots and his artistic ability is one of a kind when it came to the album. He is a pleasure to work with and I would give my highest recommendation to him and his company.
I cannot say enough about Nucci Studios. Maximillian was fantastic from the first meeting until the day of the wedding. He always gave me the utmost attention everytime we spoke and was very detailed. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and really is worth it. The day of the wedding , they were a bit on the later side, but I think they got lost.(they were traveling from over an hour away ! at no charge!) No biggie, They were professional, accomodating and really cared about what I wanted. The quality of the pictures is awesome! They seriously got every person who attended my wedding in the pics. I am having a really hard time picking out my favorites! I could not have asked for a better photographer!! Thank you so much!
The common cliche for weddings is, "you do all that planning,it goes so fast." Being a bride nearly a year and a half ago, today, I would have to agree. The day does go fast; especially as the bride and/or groom. You blink your eyes and you suddenly realize you are no longer a Miss, but a Mrs. This is why it is so important for you, your family and friends to have memories that last a lifetime.
I am a true believer that images are worth a thousand words; they communicate emotions and tell a story. In my experience, what better way to capture it that than with Maximilian Nucci.
Max captured the essence of my wedding with such quality and uniqueness. To me, when one looks through my wedding album I want them to feel the way I felt that day. I want them to feel the emotions I felt; happiness, love and devotion. The happiness when I was getting ready to put my dress on, the feeling of walking to my limo with my father and mother. The love I felt when my father kissed me before giving my hand to my husband. The way I felt when looking at my husband when walking through those church doors. Devotion, that look when you stare into your husbands eyes when toasting. These are the most important things, these are the things that need to be remembered. Max helped the world stop and stare at those moments. He let those moments stand still for me forever.
I highly recommend Max. He was a pleasure to work with from the day I met him to the day I picked up my album. He was able to make, "the happiest day of my life," freeze. Working with Max was an extraordinary experience, for he became apart of my "big fat Greek Wedding."
Max, efharisto!
