Nancy & Mike’s Destination Wedding – West Palm Beach

Shooting a wedding is always a special event for us.  Shooting a destination wedding for someone special – well, that’s just REALLY cool!! Like most of the college graduate population these days, I started my professional career in the cube.  It took me a while, but I finally realized that sitting in a cube all…

2011 – Year in Review – Engagements by Jeff

It is hard to explain how difficult a task it is to select a handful of images to represent a year’s worth of work.  In 2011, I shot 32 engagement sessions.  This blog includes 24 images in total.  That’s about 2/3s of an image per session.  Wow.  The challenge I have when selecting photos in…

2011 – Year in Review – Alana’s Favs

As some of you know, there are three photographers here at Black Thumb Studio – Jeff, George and Alana.  George and I consider Alana the third wheel on our sweet tricycle – she’s the one that keeps us upright.  We’d fall over a lot if she wasn’t around. Alana is a fantastic photographer and even…

Anabela & Larry: A Destination Wedding – Part I

I’ll never forget the original email I received from Anabela about her wedding.  It was brief and to the point.  The location was listed as “Panama (in Central America)” and her text read, “Please view the location of the wedding for ideas. Thank you!”  I was a bit dumbfounded to say the least.  Was this…

Wendy & Jonathan’s Engagement

I met up with Wendy and Jonathan at the Swan Boats in the Boston Public Gardens for their engagement session last month. It wasn’t nearly as hot as it had been recently and these two were ready to have some fun. And they’re the type of people who like to have fun! They’re both very…

Mariya & Geronimo’s Engagement

Mariya and Geronimo (a.k.a. Masha and G respectively) met via a mutual friend. They were both attending Bentley University at the time and became good friends while they were in school.  It wasn’t until after they graduated that they started dating. I met up with Masha and G a couple of weeks ago at their…

Michelle & Ryan’s Engagement Session

Have you ever met the captain and co-captain of the Perfect Team? I have. Well, at least according to Michelle and Ryan, that’s who they are. Who’s the captain and who’s the co-captain? Totally up for debate. Michelle and Ryan are both from the Boston area. They met via Ryan’s sister. She’s a teacher and…

Alison & Marcelo’s Engagement

Alison and Marcelo met at work. They started chatting and soon found themselves getting together outside the workplace. It wasn’t long before Marcelo asked for Alison’s hand in marriage in the heart of Boston in the Public Gardens. This was the first stop for their engagement session. Since they both work in the city, Alison…

Shivani & Joe’s Engagement Session

"I’ve never met anyone else like her" Joe told me. I had to agree – I hadn’t either. Shivani and Joe grew up in the same town but didn’t meet until their senior year in high school. They dated for a long time, but kept it quiet. When it was finally revealed to Shivani’s family…
