No matter which wedding photographer you choose, you will end up purchasing some services, such as photography, post-production editing and retouching, and album layout. You will also end up purchasing some services -- photo albums, prints, CDs or DVDs, and so forth. Some photographers don't publish their prices -- others do. Some photographers group products and services into "packages" to make selection easier for you. And some photographers have an "ala carte" menu like a restaurant, you choose just the items you want.

We publish our prices so there are no surprises, and we offer you a choice between packages and ala carte selection, or you can mix and match -- starting with a specific package, and adding the optional items you need. There are never any hidden costs or fees -- our pricing is simple, straightforward, and "what you see is what you get!"

Once you have selected your products and services, we detail everything in a contract so you know exactly what you are getting, and at what cost.

Prices shown do not include applicable sales taxes (NY State Sales tax = 8%) All prices and packages subject to change without notice or obligation.

About us

Welcome to the internet home of Paul Grupp and Brenda Tompkins.

Paul is a full-time professional photographer working on location and in the studio in Albany, NY.  He has shot dozens of assignments for newspapers, and spent two and half years as staff photographer for the NY State Senate. His work has appeared on the websites and in the catalogs of many companies and organizations, and in a diverse set of publications ranging from 944 Fashion magazine to Landscape Architecture, to The Saratogian, The Troy Record, and The San Diego Troubadour newspapers. His photographs were featured in the book Erotique Digitale published by the Ilex press. Many musicians use Paul's photography on their websites, promo pix and CD packaging.

Brenda specializes in weddings and portraiture. She has a great eye for capturing the emotion and excitement of the wedding day, and many of our best bridal images were photographed by Brenda.

While we are based in Albany NY, our work takes us up and down the east coast, so whether you are in the Berkshires or the Adirondacks, Long Island or Boston, Vermont or Rhode Island, we are happy to travel to your location.
