Amy & Ben’s Wedding

The first memory I have of Ben is of a scrawny little kid running around at church being teased by his older brothers Jason and Noah. He reminded me a lot of myself – less the older brothers. Fast-forward to this past Friday. That scrawny little kid is now a mature adult who married the…

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…

Tara & Josh’s Wedding

George and I pulled up in front of Tara’s house. Before we couldeven get out of the truck, Tara was there to greet us with a hug. She had her veil on and was SO ready for her wedding day. I love that kind of enthusiasm! Tara and Josh have known each other for many…

Kara & Corey’s Wedding

I frequently get asked, "What’s your favorite wedding venue?" My response is usually something about the fact that what I remember more than a physical location is the experience I have in a particular place. Kara and Corey’s wedding at the Warwick Country Club is one of those experiences I won’t soon forget. It was…

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…

Johanna & Joe’s Engagement Session

There are occasions when I feel it is necessary to pinch myself and make sure that my reality is actually that. After ten years of cubicle life, I still find myself wondering if I really did make the leap. Johanna and Joe’s engagement session was one of those occasions. We met up on a Sunday…

Eve and Brian’s Wedding

I’ll never forget the first time I met Eve and Brian. I’m usually pretty good at reading people, but I got home and I said to Dorothy, "I couldn’t read them AT ALL." She was rather surprised at that statement herself. It turns out that Eve and Brian are simply two of the most laid…

Brigida & Josh’s Engagement Session

I met up with Brigida and Josh at Pan Handler’s in Newport. Josh’s uncle owns the place. I was greeted warmly by them both. The weather, on the other hand, wasn’t so gracious. We were struggling with the best place to shoot in Newport because the sky was rather ominous. Knowing we had umbrellas and…

Meredith & David’s Wedding

George and I arrived atthe Ridge Club in Sandwich, MA around 3 p.m. Amanda and the rest of the staff were busy preparing for the evening’s festivities. George and I wasted no time surveying the area, making final plans for formal photo locations and digging into details photos. We didn’t want to miss any little…

What is Black Thumb Studio??!!

Jeff Turner Photography is taking on a new identity. No, we haven’t been bought out for billions of dollars by Amazon.com or anything like that. When I started my company several years ago, I really didn’t want to name it after me, but I had absolutely no idea what else to call it. Since then,…
