A question I’m regularly asked is, “Have you previously worked at my wedding venue?” Sometimes we have and sometimes we haven’t. The real question is – is this the best question to ask a prospective photographer? My answer is no. Here’s why. I googled “wedding venues in eastern Massachusetts” and it quickly took me to…

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…

We always say that if we (and our cameras) could be invisible at weddings, we would. It only makes sense. We want to capture moments as they happen. We want to avoid the whole “Hey look – there’s a camera – that’s my cue to act unnatural and/or run away.” So if Brookstone ever sells…

One aspect I love about my job is the fact that we tend to find ourselves in different places all the time. That gives us a great opportunity to shoot a variety of photos and always forces us to try something new. We like that! As difficult as it was, I narrowed down all the…

Simple to say, there wouldn’t be a Black Thumb Studio without George. He’s shot most of the weddings with me, he fixes my computers (they really don’t like me) and in general, he can put up with me. Enough said. What I love about working with George is his quiet confidence and how he sees…

On the other side of the plaza, efforts were underway to have the chapel decorated with beautiful white flower bouquets. Anabela’s beautiful Rosa Clara dress…

George and I landed in Panama City without much fanfare. The transition from 13 degrees at Logan to the 90+ degrees in Panama was…um….AWESOME! We couldn’t wait to get to our hotel and put shorts on. We would spend one night in Panama City before heading out to the Bristol Buenaventura in the small seaside…

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…
