Simply fantastic. So professional and fun - a rare and difficult combination. Jeff did a shoot for our family while my wife was pregnant with our daughter. He engaged my 2 yr old son and made us all feel comfortable. We forgot the camera was there and just enjoyed each other. The pictures reflect the atmosphere. They were extraordinary! Book Jeff. You won't be disappointed. read more

Jeff is an excellent photographer and I would recommend him to anybody. We hired him both for our engagement and wedding photos and we were blown away by his professionalism and the photo quality. He is extremely friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is comfortable. Would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a professional photographer read more

Jeff and George photographed our wedding in June 2013. They were by far the best vendor we hired. Hire them! Seriously, Jeff did everything for us and helped keep us on schedule and had such a gracious and polite manner. I could not recommend Black Thumb any more highly. read more

Yelp warns to not write a review "if you're connected in any way" to the business. I'm not, to be clear. But Jeff and George have become like extended members of the family- not only because they do amazing work that has helped us form the foundational memories of our family, but because they care immensely more than a small business is required to about their clients. And they act that way towards ALL of their clients. The first encounter I had with Jeff and George was when they photographed my best friend's wedding, at which I was MOH. They were so much more than standby wedding photographers getting the obligatory shots. They were sweating bullets by the end of the night because THEY. WERE. EVERYWHERE. It was like they had a pre-choreographed dance routine worked out. Capturing the important moments from multiple sides of the room and multiple angles. Getting right in the middle of the dance floor action. Making people laugh. Getting my dad to smile for a photo (NOBODY gets my dad to smile). I thought, "Well regardless of how the pics turn out, these guys are great fun." The thing is, their photos were exceptional. I was able to view the gallery online and had dozens of favorites. Wasn't even my wedding. But three years later, when I did get married, the only option for my wedding photographers was them. Like I said, I'm not actually connected to them in any way... but they made me feel special, and as though my wedding was really important. They arrived two days early (wedding was in Florida), scouted out the unknown location with me and my (now) husband, had a list of dozens of shot ideas, were incredibly organized and upbeat; and on the day of, they were covered in sweat again, because they refused to miss a single shot. They were nothing but professional, courteous, and KIND for three days. Did I mention Jeff carries bobby pins on him at all times because... #bridalupdos. And if you've ever been a bride whose expensive hairdo starts falling apart, you understand how invaluable that is. A few years after that my brother got married in MO. Again, only one photographer was an option for him: Black Thumb, Jeff and George. By then George had retired from the photo biz. The man CAME OUT OF RETIREMENT to help photograph my brother's wedding in the dead of summer Missouri heat. WHO DOES THAT? By now I half expected that I'd seen all the "wedding shots" they could achieve, but they blew us away again. Different but equally beautiful images... it's like they never run out of creative ideas. I can't imagine finding such joy in photographing the same sort of events all year long... but they genuinely do enjoy it. Their photos reflect that so authentically. Check out their website or their instagram. When you look at any photos they take, you see JOY. You see a love of what they do. You see genuine happiness because the people they photograph are genuinely happy being around them. They make their clients feel important, and beautiful, and special, and proud. Look at their work and try to tell me their photos are "just ok," I'd say you were out of your mind. read more

I've got nothing but love for Black Thumb Studio (headed by the amazing Jeff Turner). My fella and I needed a photographer for our upcoming nuptials and there was no doubt in our minds that Black Thumb was where we were gonna go. After hearing so many amazing things about these guys and seeing the incredible photos they were putting out (I mean, seriously...just check out their website!) we were sold. Our initial meeting with Jeff was great. We met at a local sushi place and perused his catalog over some maki. The work really spoke for itself. The shots were interesting and the colors were beautiful. We weren't really interested in doing things a traditional way and Jeff was all for it. He was super personable and really easy to talk with. After we chose our package and signed the contract, Jeff scheduled an engagement photo session with us (which is included in the package!). We went on our session on Tuesday and had a blast! Jeff really listened to our ideas and seemed to understand right away what made us comfortable and what we weren't into. I explicitly told him I wasn't interested in looking back in 20 years to see all these cheesy pictures of me + my betrothed looking longingly into each others' eyes and that's exactly what he went on. Can't wait to see my pictures and am so excitied that Black Thumb will be apart of our wedding! read more

If I could give Jeff 1,000 stars, I would. He is BY FAR the best photographer I have ever met and his photographs are stunning. My husband and I knew immediately after meeting Jeff that we wanted him to be our photographer for our wedding. Jeff is so professional, communicative, thorough, kind, creative, and friendly. Working with him was a breeze. Each time we talked or met for site visits, meetings, etc, I felt as though we were his only client and he was very in tune with what we wanted and how to make it happen. We got married at a gorgeous venue with several different places to take photos. Jeff walked us through each area, each idea he suggested, and let us choose what worked best for us. He never pressured us to do anything we didn't want and never balked when we gave him specific pictures that we wanted. His work is spectacular and the photos of our wedding made me cry. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Each person that has seen my wedding pictures has commented on how Jeff's photos are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. I have told everyone I know how amazing he is and would highly recommend him. He brought Wayne along with him to shoot our wedding. Wayne took so many cool pictures with different angles, creative elements, and focuses. Jeff and Wayne were so much fun. They even danced with our family and friends at the reception. Definitely meet with Jeff and book him! You won't regret it! read more

First off, I want to apologize for how long it took me to write this review! Such a slacker! Anyhoo, Jeff Turner and Black Thumb Studio are unbelievably amazing at what they do! My husband and I hired Jeff to photograph our April 2012 wedding, and we were thoroughly impressed! I have to give credit to my husband for remembering to get Jeff's card after meeting him at another couples wedding. Thanks babe!! From the first moment we met Jeff, I could tell that he would be the perfect photographer for us. He is so friendly and genuine and has a great playfulness about him that comes through in his photographs. The albums he brought with him to show us were gorgeous, but seriously all his photos are! I also really admire his creativity. I was looking for someone who could think outside the box a little, and he really came through! One of my favorite moments from our wedding day was when we hopped in Jeff's pickup (poofy dress and all) and zipped down the street to an old abandoned warehouse to take some couple shots. They are so stunning! I could go on and on, but I really just want to give a huge THANKS to Jeff, George, and Black Thumb Studio for doing such a beautiful job on our photos! Do not hesitate to hire them, they are amazing! Check out their facebook, they are constantly adding new pictures! http://www.facebook.com/blackthumbstudio?fref=ts read more

Best photographer I have ever worked with! Jeff and his team are beyond professional and so fun to work with! My sister and I both used Black Thumb Studio for a our senior photos and couldn't have had a better experience not to mention the stunning photos! If my wedding wasn't halfway across the country there is no doubt we would have used them! Any negative one star review must be due to the reviewers personal issues. Thank you Jeff and Black Thumb Studio! read more

We hired Jeff to do our wedding in July 2015. He was, in short, phenomenal. He'd done my husband's sister's wedding a few years ago and so we were familiar with him and his work before we hired him, and as soon as we sat down with him to chat about our wedding we knew that he was the right fit for us as well. Not only does he take incredible pictures, but he is a blast to work with, he made us feel super comfortable, and he was fantastic about responding to emails quickly and clearly. Absolutely one of our favorite wedding vendors. Our pictures are amazing--he got every shot we wanted and quite a few that we would never have even thought of. The way he was able to capture the emotions of the day is awesome. We are so incredibly thrilled with our wedding portfolio and have had several family and friends tell us that our wedding pictures are the best that they've ever seen. If you are thinking about hiring him--do it!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Extremely unprofessional. Being in a blended family our daughter was having her senior pictures done. Jeff refused to meet on proofs etc. because he was friends with the ex and tried to say he could only meet with one parent. All the while being a blended family have had two other kids in which other local photographers provided all necessary information for purchase and provided exceptional service such as Catherine Broderick. I've never encountered such poor customer service who's business is supposed to depend on paying customers with courtesy and class. Something this business owner lacks. Pictures were ok but many better options in the area with professional services. read more

It's a shame that not more people write reviews on the Web for local businesses. If they did there would be pages and pages of 5 star reviews for Black Thumb. Jeff and his crew are extremely professional, but also fun. He has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease during the whole process. He is more than capable at handling all of the last minute curve balls that can be thrown into a wedding project (or any other for that matter) and all the while he is adding in his own great style and stellar exposures. First you get a consult in which you can talk about what sort of thing you are looking for and potential locations and other details can be discussed, then a date is set. When the day comes it is a blast - even for people like my wife and I, who aren't into getting our photos taken. A few weeks later and you get to see a "sneak peek" on Facebook of some of your touched-up photos. Shortly afterwards you meet back with Black Thumb at their beautiful studio and go through your photos in HD quality on large display. This is when you get to order prints and different gifts with your new photos on them directly from Black Thumb. The whole experience is very professional and you leave feeling that you got your money's worth. I would recommend Black Thumb to anyone that wants pro photos for any occasion. My wife and I had ours taken for no special event and they were a huge hit. One sit-down with Jeff and his portfolio and you will be sold on Black Thumb as well. Their portraits and wedding material is really top notch. read more
