I hope you’re having a great summer, Elizabeth and I have been enjoying a few summer nights outside with the kids.  They are growing up so fast!  Eli, who just turned one allowed me to grab ONE pic of him before climbing on top of me.  Phoebe is a much more willing subject, and as I was going through the archives, it is definitely true what they say about second siblings.  I have SO many more pictures of her – I know, I know, I’m the photographer…. How ’bout that crazy curly blond hair?  We both have pin straight black hair, well at least mine use to be black.  LOL

Got lots of fun stuff to post soon!  I promise! :)

Carly and Jack have been so much fun to work with, and their wedding was filled lots of emotion and dancing. I heart Orthodox Jewish weddings, and even though I often like to blog my clients portraits, I love those “moments” that make up every wedding. However, when it come to big weddings like these, it’s also really important to know where to be and after 23 years, I think I’m pretty good at it. :)

Thanks Carly and Jack!

Are you asking “What’s an IHNY session”?

Simply put: an IHNY session is a photo shoot with a serious upgrade designed to celebrate you and your love of the greatest city in the world (not that we’re biased or anything).

We shoot as you stroll on the High Line in West Chelsea, eat a bite at a sidewalk cafe in the Meatpacking
district, or a ride on the carousel in Bryant park – even fly through the sky, in the city you love in a chopper!

Prior to the shoot, we’ll discuss how you are, what you love to do and where you like to do it. Then we’ll create a storyboard for your shoot. Each session unique and all about you and NYC!

The day of the shoot, we meet at my studio in Chelsea where I provide hair, makeup and a little bubbly if you are so inclined. We’ll hang your clothes, discuss your options (including wardrobe changes) and even steam the wrinkles! :)

After the shoot, we’ll upload all the images to a secure website where your friends and family can view the pics.

Then, we’ll create our signature IHNY photo books which you will proudly display on your coffee table to the envy of your friends. For you brides and grooms, we can create a version to use as a guest book for your wedding day.

Here’s some images from the shoots, a book, and a few “behind the scenes.”

We have a secret weapon. His name is Chris Bruno. :)

Chris has been working with us to create some of our FUsioN Films, recently started joining us on IHNY sessions, as well as weddings. He’s going to be a big part of our team and we’re excited to be bringing him on board.

What does this all mean?

We are officially announcing the addition of filmmaking to our services!

Chris will be the main cinematographer, and will handle all the editing of our IHNY films. We’ll be posting more about our services in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you’d like more information please contact me – jason@jasongroupp.com

To celebrate this news – I’d like to share our first “next day edit” that Chris created from Beth & Russ’s wedding in Pebble Beach, Aruba!

If you’ve read a few photographers’ blogs, you know we like to mention how much fun we have.  I’m going to forgo that cliche in this entry since I think the end of Cadence and Eli’s wedding says it all. :)   Thank you, guys, for a fun couple of days — we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Onto…..cemetery chapel, drumlines, and boxing gyms!
