PARRISWHITTINGHAM

Based Out Of: Manhattan, New York

Bio: Parris Whittingham is a wedding photographer located in Manhattan, New York. His goal as an artist is to explore human emotion and empathy through photography. He first became passionate about photography when he was living in Brazil as an exchange student. The family he stayed with was home to a real "old school" photographer--an elderly man who exposed all of his own images in the bathroom, which he converted into a full-scale darkroom. This man's passion, joy and excitement about photography was amazing.

Parris made it his business to learn from this man and begin searching for his own voice as a photographer. Parris quickly discovered that photojournalism served his need to work unobtrusively. Three years later, Parris Whittingham Photography was born. Since then, Parris has had the honor of photographing projects in Puerto Rico and China. Each year, he works with a limited number of couples to ensure that he can deliver the exceptional service and creative focus that keeps him energized.

JASONGROUPP

Based Out Of: Manhattan, New York

Bio: A photographer since the age of 15, Jason Groupp attended the Fashion Institute of Technology's intensive photography program while receiving hands-on experience shooting weddings for Rockland County's Bass Photography. After graduation, Jason expanded his portfolio to include commercial and editorial work. Soon his expertise for clients like J. Crew, Conair/Cuisinart and Men's Health began to inform his wedding photography, which led to a distinctly intimate editorial style that has earned Jason a coveted spot as one of The Knot's 2007 "Best of Weddings" Pick.

Sophisticated but instantly accessible, Jason Groupp's wedding photography celebrates the individuality of every couple he works with. Having honed his style on the streets of Manhattan, Jason instinctively creates a sense of place in every client's photograph. Whether it is a free-spirited portrait of a newly engaged couple astride a motorcycle or a rare quiet moment shared by a bride and groom against the splashy backdrop of a Las Vegas cityscape, Jason captures the relationship between a couple and their surroundings. You notice the setting, but you remember the couple. Jason's striking visual style and ability to personalize New York City - to convey a sense of intimacy and connection between a couple and a familiar landmark - have earned him clients from around the globe.
