Dear Friend,
This site is going to give you answers to all your questions. Whether you're looking for a wedding photographer, or someone to photograph your family, or a photographer who can capture the essence of your child's personality, after a few minutes browsing this site, you will know everything you need to know.
My name is Roy Thomas and I started Black Dog Photography in
Hoboken, NJ about 10 years ago as a career change.
Prior, I was an executive at a consulting firm in Manhattan and by most
measuring sticks, successful. However, photography had
grown into a passion and I decided to leave corporate life to pursue a
career in the field I loved.
I also teach photographic lighting workshops to other photographers at
the
New Jersey Center
For Visual Arts, an art school in Summit, NJ.
Adorama in Manhattan has chosen Black Dog to provide images for their new and innovative photography books that feature entire Black Dog weddings. These books are displayed nationally at photography expos and at their Manhattan headquarters. Adorama is one of the nation's largest providers of professional photography equipment and printing services.
Additionally, Fuji America often features Black Dog images in their
national photography convention/expo
tour.
We've appeared in numerous publications and on several wedding
reality shows. Most recently,"Say
Yes To The Dress". We've also photographed hundreds of
cakes from Buddy Valastro "The Cake Boss".
Hey, we're from Hoboken!
As one of the most experienced and successful studios on the NJ
waterfront we are a "recommended vendor" at several premium venues
including the Hyatt Jersey City, the Liberty
House, the new "W" Hotel Hoboken, the Westin in Jersey City, Bonnet
Island Estate and Mallard Island Yacht Club both in Long Beach
Island, NJ.
In Mystic, CT we're recommended by the Ocean House, Mystic Seaport
and the amazingly popular Saltwater
Farm Vineyard.

I hope you'll find the information on this site informative and telling of the caliber of studio we are.
If you're like most people, you probably get a bit overwhelmed as you surf through hundreds of websites and realize there are a lot of photographers to choose from. How do you decide who to go to? The websites all look trendy with interesting effects and they all say "photojournalistic" or something similar. But who is a real professional and not just a weekend warrior? Who has real experience? Who can I TRUST to photograph my biggest day?
Well, don't worry, I'm going to clue you in on the VITAL THINGS you must ask of any photographer.
My goal is simple: I want your photographs to be perfect. Therefore, regardless of whether you decide to have me create your photographs or not, I still want you to know about the things most photographers DON'T want you to know about.
