Fred Marcus Photography became a dream of a young man immigrating to the United States from Germany during WWII. After leaving Germany, Fred Marcus arrived in Cuba and because of red tape had to make it his home for almost two years. To make a living and support himself, Fred took photographs of other immigrants and their families on the beaches of Cuba.
He developed them in his bathtub at night, making his bathroom a makeshift darkroom. Most of Fred's photographic knowledge was self-taught and he was considered a brilliant portrait photographer. After arriving in the United States, Fred decided to set up shop in New York City. The studio is still in the same location that it was 70 + years ago, only much larger.

I have been in the business of photographing weddings for over 40 years. I've steadily built up my studio's reputation as the photographers to use in the New York area, as well as internationally. As the president of Fred Marcus Studio, I've established a clientele comprised of the most prominent families and business leaders in the country.
A wise man once said: "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". For me, photography is more than a career; it is a vital part of who I am. I was introduced to the art of photography at a very early age. My late Grandfather, Fred Marcus, and my Father, Andy Marcus are both highly celebrated photographers who instilled in me a great passion and wisdom for the craft.
Even at a young age, Juan always knew he had a passion for photography. When his family moved from Colombia, Juan was only four years old. Growing up in Northern New Jersey, Juan started to pursue his passion for photography in High School and continued to at County College of Morris. After interning for Fred Marcus Studio for five months, he became a full time employee doing the postproduction editing and shooting.
Originally from Siberia, Anton fell in love with New York City after his first visit and made it his goal to return and fulfill his creative ambitions! Today, Anton is a commercial photographer specializing in wedding and sports photography, as well as a professional dancer. Anton is (literally) quick on his feet and loves the excitement and energy of capturing special events!
Prior to moving to New York City, Leslie had built an extensive portfolio of Wedding & Portrait photography in Cleveland, Ohio. Nature was her first 'subject', as she loved hiking with her camera, observing and playing creatively with details, composition and light. In college she explored portraiture, and found joy in making a genuine connection with people, and in return producing a genuine portrait.

Felix, not even quite sure how to put words into this but you are truly incredible. Every step of the way I turned around and you were right there. I really feel you went above and beyond.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
The previews are simply put, perfection.
Could not ask for someone better by my side. We love you!!!

There is nobody else better than the Fred Marcus Team!! Brian and Felix are truly the BEST in the business. Not only are they extremely talented and so amazing at what they do, but the energy and attitude that they bring is seriously unbelievable. The whole experience with them from start to finish was so seamless and so fun. You definitely want Brian and Felix at any event because they handle everything SO perfectly especially during such high stress events. You honestly can't find better people to work with than them and their eye for photography is incredible. There are no words to describe

Fred Marcus went above and beyond our expectations. We just received our photos back (just a little over a month from our wedding day) and we are blown away!!! It was amazing to go through our 1,000+ photos from our day and relive what an amazing time we had. We could not have asked for better photos to remember our special day.
I don't have enough good words to describe Felix - on the day of, Felix was so sweet, professional, and fun to work with! He was absolutely seamless in organizing our bridal party and making everyone feel comfortable.

I hired Felix for my wedding in September 2021 and I highly recommend him! I really liked him from the start - he is easygoing, straightforward, and professional. I knew I would be comfortable with him on my wedding day and he is very talented. An unexpected but really positive attribute is that you could not imagine how quickly he responds to emails and questions! He truly is available at all times and it's incredible. Our family members were also impressed by him, as he clearly knows what he is doing and will direct the day at the right times so that he gets the best photos for you. If you're

The Fred Marcus team is the absolute best in the business! If you're looking to book a wedding photographer, look no further! Brian, Felix and the entire team were such a pleasure to work with. On a day that can be stressful and tiring at times, they brought the best energy and made the entire day that much more fun. They're incredibly talented and the whole experience was seamless. So many of our guests even told us how much they loved them too. We got some previews a few days after the wedding and the photos look amazing - we can't wait to see the rest! Book Brian and Felix - you'd be crazy not

My family has worked with Fred Marcus Studio for all major family events for the last 40 years and they have captured each event perfectly.
For our wedding in October, we chose to work with Felix for the first time and I could not be happier with my decision. Not only is Felix extremely talented but also kind, thoughtful and great at managing all of the people and things going on during a wedding. Our pictures turned out even better than I could have ever imagined and it is nearly impossible to choose the best ones.
I cannot wait for Felix to photograph our celebration next year and would highly

We used Felix from Fred Marcus for our wedding weekend in September and I don't even know where to begin! He is truly the BEST of the BEST. Not only is he beyond talented but his amazing energy and professionalism are unmatched. Our photos came out incredible and the day was so much more fun and relaxed because he was part of it. If you are looking for a photographer who you can trust to capture the magic of any occasion, Felix is your guy.
The entire Fred Marcus team is extremely professional and responsive and I can't say enough good things about our experience. Hiring Felix was one of the best

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Fred Marcus Studio and our photographer Felix! Felix photographed both our Central Park Ceremony during the pandemic and our postponed Wedding at the Lotte NY Palace. He captured every moment and detail better than we could've even imagined! Not only is he extremely skilled but he's fun to work with any constantly makes you laugh and smile the whole time you're with him! Our guests were so impressed with him they kept complimenting how great he was and said they would want him to photograph their next event.

I had both my engagement and wedding pictures done by Felix Feygin at Fred Marcus and just....WOW! I received teasers from my engagement shoot the same weekend they were taken and teasers from my wedding the next week! All of our pictures are magical and take us right back to our most important moments that we will forever cherish from looking at these pictures. I've received so many compliments about them and theres no reason why I wouldn't! Felix was super great to work with day of too - super attentive and directive (which was definitely needed with an 18 person bridal party) and his sense of

Do yourself a favor and book Felix of Fred Marcus Photography. Look no further because you found the best photographer, and you will not be disappointed. I cannot possibly give a higher recommendation for a wedding photographer, or frankly for any wedding vendor.
I got married in East Hampton in May 2021 and Felix of Fred Marcus was my photographer. He was by far my favorite vendor for my wedding (and I had several vendors). Not only was his team an absolute pleasure to work with leading up the wedding, but he also listened to my ideas thoughtfully, was quick to reply to emails, and always answered

Brian is a dream to work with! We are THRILLED to have used him for our Wedding day. He truly provides you with the utmost white glove service. His team was incredibly attentive to me and everyone around us. My veil got caught mid way down the aisle and one of the videographers dropped everything and RAN to help me get it unstuck. They truly care to help you have the best stress free day. Brian's photos are absolutely amazing, every single one of them comes out perfect. He is so much fun to work with and gives you that relaxed vibe. He does not really take staged photos, he really captures

There aren't enough accolades to capture the talent, work-ethic, vision and exceptional product that Felix Feygin and Fred Marcus Studio delivers. Felix made both my wedding day and rehearsal dinner perfect. Felix pays attention to every detail. He learned the names of every member of both of our families. He made sure that not a hair was out of place, and positioned us so that we all looked our best. He also made sure to capture photos of everyone who came to my wedding (almost 220 people). To sum up how extraordinary Felix is, I will share the two compliments I received after my wedding

Using Fred Marcus was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Felix was absolutely incredible. He was a pleasure to work with & made us feel so comfortable. He truly captured every single moment & detail of our big day - details I never even had the chance to see due to being pulled in so many different directions as the bride & I couldn't be happier that I had the chance to see, once I received all of the pictures back! His vision & style exceeded our expectations & more. Felix really is THE BEST & the pictures he took that I didn't even think to

Horrible experience! I wanted my friend to be also taking pictures on our special day since he is a photographer and knows us so it would be a special point of view. But as he was still a guest so we wanted a professional team there too. We got snobbed by the photographers, me and my side of the family was not even asked to take individual photos or together me and my husband. They were in my bridal room for 2 minutes ,took a few awful pictures of me getting ready.
Our wedding video is so bad I could cry every time I think of it. Never watch it, it's too painful and it just makes me angry

We absolutely loved our photographer (Felix) - he did an incredible job with our photos... but as soon as he was done and we were handed off to the rest of the staff, we felt the service started to slack. The photo selection and album review process was not great - we were greeted with a bit of gruffness... and then the gentleman handling the edits did not incorporate all of our edits, or would send us the wrong files to review... when we finally got our album 6 months after our wedding, we realized that he had sent an old file to be printed! so we had to send the album back and waited another

RUN the other way!!!
While the photo's we received were of adequate quality, the photographer we met with was not the person that showed up to shoot our wedding!
The person that did show up was rude, intrusive during the ceremony, turned up an hour early, and then charged us an additional fee to stay for the last hour of the contract.
We were deceived and treated very poorly.
It makes no difference the quality of the work; the attitudes, of the photographer and the person that created our final wedding album, were appalling and it was extraordinarily unpleasant to have to be in the

I got married in October (3 months ago) and chose Fred Marcus for our videography. I cannot tell you how happy we are with our decision. They are extremely professional and pleasant to work with. I worked directly with Peggy- who is great.
We had heard nightmare stories from 2 other couples about their videographers (NOT fred marcus)- and we're so pleased that we went with a reputable company.
I was amazed when I got an email 2months after the wedding, saying our dvd was ready. We loved it , but had a few changes that we wanted made. They promptly edited it, without a hassle and gave
