Jason GrouppWedding Photographer

Like Woody Allen, I adore New York City, beyond any healthy proportion. (In a city that never sleeps) there is always time to try that new restaurant, or trek across town to check out Questlove's hoodie shop. Or that new place that has their own line of custom designed bow ties. Or that Weegee exhibit at the International Center of Photography that ends in 2 days. Being a NY'er takes dedication!

This is a town that is based in black and white; where colors explode like matches and pulses to the rhythms of Gershwin. It is everywhere you go, from those magically illuminated wet streets and sidewalks on a rainy night, to the warm glow shining down on a crowd sun-bathing in Sheep's Meadow.

I thrive on the hustle and bustle of the crowds and traffic.

New York City has always been my only mistress. Thankfully my wife understands.

12 years ago I moved into my loft studio in West Chelsea. It was the greatest day of my life. Wait, no... marrying my best friend Elizabeth was. Then there was the birth of my kids, Phoebe and Eli. Okay, all those things, though not always in that order.

New York City is the greatest city in the world and I have 8.1 million people who all agree with me!

How To Make It As A Wedding Photographer: What’s Your Signature?

09:30am - 10:30am | Business

The evolution of The IHNY Session. I spent years working on something I’m known for, something that would differentiate myself in what has become a very crowded market. Creating your signature, and getting noticed for it (in a good way), is more important today than ever. That’s why I created The IHNY Session.
