About Fred Marcus Studio,NY

About Us

  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.  New York was his choice because his clients from the Cuban beaches were all coming there.  He followed, and they remembered. They used him for their family portraits and soon he was photographing their family events. Today, people from around the world call to use our services, and they can always count on the highest standards of quality and uncompromising customer service

Andy Marcus

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. Their strong loyalty, that spans generations, is derived from an ethic of non-compromising quality and customized service. My company has built a reputation for quality that has brought the highest end clients in the New York area to our door. I combine the best of great posed photography and very exciting photojournalism to give my clients the most unique, thorough wedding coverage in the country today. While quality should remain consistent, no two wedding albums should ever look exactly the same. To this end, I have kept my staff small and accepted only weddings that I can handle with my own photographic “family”.My son, Brian, is now the third generation in the business and creating a strong name for himself.I have photographed the weddings of Eddie Murphy, Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump. Kelsey Grammer, Mary Tyler Moore, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips, as well as the daughter and granddaughter of Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York State.

Brian Marcus

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. I photograph more than 50 weddings a year, capturing every stage of the celebration, from the excitement of getting ready, to the anticipation of the first look, and of course the ceremony, the party and everything in between. I love the discovery of small moments and simple gestures, which are often overlooked in the excitement of a big day. Fine details, like the tear in a father's eye or a grandparent's loving glance, are rare gems which should be honored and preserved in the best possible light.Whether the day brings a high-profile wedding, an intimate family gathering, or a young boy's Bar Mitzvah, I regard every new event as the most important I have ever done. I've photographed celebrity weddings like Lebron James & Savannah Brinson, Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner, as well as Eddie Murphy, Kelsey Grammar and Mike Tyson, to name a few. Besides my wedding work, I have been working on a personal project to preserve the memory of the last remaining Holocaust survivors in the New York, New Jersey area and plan on publishing a book in 2014.My camera and I have been all over the globe from Malawi to Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Italy, France and the Caribbean Islands. My passion for photography doesn't keep me solely behind the lens. I have also created a tool for professional image-makers, the GL-1 hot light (www.gl1hotlight.com). The most important aspect of my job is to learn as much as I can about your style and vision so that I can create the perfect environment to bring your dream to life. Your event, your wedding day, your portrait session- whatever your moment is becomes your chance to shine. My responsibility is to make that happen seamlessly and effortlessly with photos and memories to last a lifetime. I’m looking forward to meeting you and hearing all about the exciting things happening in your life.
