...off to the "city by the bay!"

I'm headed out to San Francisco this weekend to shoot a wedding with my good friend Colin Michael. I love this city so I am really looking forward to it. As always these days, it's a quick trip and will be back on Sunday...

Check back on Monday for pics!!

J-E-T-S!

It's been a tough start to the football season here at the Groupp house. Yesterday was a little glimmer of hope that my football season might not be over in week three. :)

Thanks to my friend John Schafer who had two extra tickets to the game. Not only that, the seats were sweet! 20 rows back in the end zone! Thanks John, you rock! Click HERE
to see where he and his wife Dawn-Marie sat!

Check out how close these seats are!


My friend Phil Mantas joined me for the game.


Anyway - I won't clog up this blog with football stuff, if you want to see my rants about football try the Groupp Blog. We also just posted Phoebe's 5 months pictures, at least it'll be worth the trip. :)

Welcome back Nicole and Jason

I just got an email from Nicole saying they had just got back from an awesome honeymoon in Hawaii. I'm so jealous!

Make sure to check out the beautiful light in the sanctuary for their ceremony. Thanks again for a fun day, I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR pictures. ;)

Congratulations CH-AMY!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and Chapin's wedding at her parents home in NJ. When one of Amy's sister's gave her toast, she mentioned that she is finally happy to announce that CHAMY (Chapin and Amy) are officially wed. I thought that was cute. :)

Here's a few shots from the day!



This last shot is from Timco who was finally able to connect with me for a wedding. He told me that has traveled almost 200,00 miles this year shooting weddings. Wow!

It was great seeing you and spending some time hanging out. Looking forward to seeing you in Ocotber!


I also want to thank Ryan Jensen who also joined me. Ryan will also be joining the REVOLUTION in October - looking forward to it! Thanks again you guys!

As always - stay tuned for the slideshow! :)

Nicole and Jason

A few quick shots from Nicole and Jason's wedding.

The light in the sanctuary was so beautiful for their ceremony! Thank you Nicole and Jason, you guys were such a pleasure to work with - make sure to check out Nicole's amazing Amsale gown.

I also want to thank Nicole's mom for the nice voicemail she left for me on Monday. It's those little things that makes me the luckiest guy in the world to have the job I have. I look forward to working with you guys in the future.

Check back soon for their slideshow!

200th blog post!

I cannot believe it! 200 posts! Since starting this blog 1 1/2 years ago I never thought blogging would be so much fun.

It's been a crazy month so I'll keep this post short. Here's a few of my favorites from recent weddings shot with C+L and TJ. Thanks for having me out there guys!!

This first shot taken at TJ's wedding is one of my all time favorites. :) Now that's a raccoon!
