Welcome to Upstate Photographers, the home of Paul Grupp and Brenda Tompkins. We are a full-time photo studio based in Albany, New York, providing wedding and engagement photography, family portraits, maternity photography, and much more!

We know you have many choices for photographers. We think what makes us special is our unique combination of photojournalistic storytelling and classic portraiture. Our photographs capture spontaneous, real emotions and feelings, not some stiff pose that's simply not you. Most importantly, when your event is over, we don't just deliver a CD of random images -- we specialize in beautiful presentations ranging from DVD montages you can play back on any TV or home theatre, to beautiful fine art-quality coffee-table books and traditional flush-mount albums. 

We have created a wide range of options tailored to meet almost any couple's needs; from very inexpensive informal wedding coverage, to elaborate photography with two photographers and museum-quality books. No packages, no hidden costs or fees. Whatever your needs, we can provide photography that fits you perfectly!
