Package Price: $150*

An Engagement Photo Session is the perfect way to announce your commitment to each other. Our engagement sessions are fun, romantic, and creative. We start with a classic couple's picture that is perfect for submitting to a newspaper's announcement section -- mom and dad will want a framed copy too. Then we go on to create more romantic and fun images.

During winter months, we generally shoot engagement sessions in our studio or at your reception venue. The rest of the year we can shoot in the studio or outdoors, at any location. If you have a special place -- where you met, your first kiss, where he proposed -- wherever -- we can shoot there.

An engagement session is also a great way for you to get comfortable with your photographers and their working style before your big wedding day. The same photographers who shoot your wedding also shoot engagement photo sessions! 

What's Included?

Like our wedding packages, our engagement photo sessions don't have a fixed number of pictures. We shoot until we are confident that we have captured a good set of images. Sometimes we can do that in 20 minutes and 50 frames; sometimes we shoot 200 frames over a couple of hours. Our engagement packages include:

  • Up to two-hour photo session in our studio, on location, or outdoors -- your choice!
  • Unlimited number of frames shot (typically 50-200)
  • online gallery of your engagement photos; you, your relatives and friends can order prints from the gallery at reasonable prices
  • a Photo CD or DVD  with your "digital negatives" (high-resolution with rights to print and use as you wish)
  • one 5x7 print for submission to newspaper engagement announcement section
  • one 8x10 print suitable for framing

Engagement photography is included in some of our wedding packages, and is an available option in all of them. If you purchase an engagement session and you later book a wedding package with us that includes engagement photography, we'll deduct the cost of your engagement session from the wedding package!

A note about . . .

Just a quick note about our engagement and wedding photography: everything you see here and in our gallery was photographed by us with real couples at their own weddings. There are no staged setups or  models - just real people, real emotion, real pictures.

No Discrimination

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, marital status, veteran status, or disability.

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. 

 

We'd love to become your photographers! You can reach us at (518) 526-9969 or email:  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
