Hoffer Photography

ng out of all of their photos. Our engagement, sangeet, and wedding photographs are breathtaking, and Amy and Tony perfectly captured the joy, happiness, and love of our wedding weekend. We feel so lucky that we can relive that weekend over and over again through the Hoffer’s photos. Not only are they amazing photographers, but they are also incredibly kind and thoughtful people. Amy and Tony care deeply about their craft and their clients. Hiring them was the best decision we made. It was an absolute joy to work with them. We are so grateful for Amy and Tony and can’t wait to work with them again in the future! Hire Hoffer Photography. Now. You won’t regret it.

ever. The candid shots are some of our favorites!! He worked tirelessly and also made sure that every picture we could think to ask for was taken. His ability to capture such emotion in a photo is incredible. Every photo has us smiling! Hire Jim!!!!!

our wedding day and Tony and Amy had amazing places for us to take photos and the sneak peaks we’ve seen so far are incredible. They go above and beyond to take the perfect photos and make your day special. I highly recommend hiring them for any event!

we found Hoffer Photography - immediately, we fell in love with the way that Tony and Amy captured the love and individuality of each couple and each event. The creative compositions made each photo a work of art. We scheduled a call with them and ended up booking them the same day. Not only are they wildly talented, but they are also so professional, knowledgable, and kind. We began planning our 2021 wedding in early 2020, just before COVID. We quickly learned that working with vendors you liked and respected was key. Tony and Amy are as just that. They were so flexible with us as we shifted from a 150 person affair to a backyard wedding of less than 30. Our photos are incredible, and our wedding album is stunning. They were so patient with us as we went back and forth with minor edits to the album. If you want unique and gorgeous photos and to work with quality humans, we STRONGLY recommend Tony and Amy.

ed engagement photos, which was a great decision. The engagement shoot was a blast and the photos from it amazing, so we knew after that we were in good hands. It was awesome to be totally confident about it going into the wedding - we were just excited to see Amy and Tony again! The actual wedding wasn't until December 2021, after being postponed due to the pandemic. We'd had several planning phone calls leading up to it, and Tony helped us plan the timeline of the day. Everything the day of went wonderfully. We purchased extra hours with the Hoffers so that they could arrive early, while we were getting ready, and stay throughout the night, and it was definitely worth it. Tony and Amy did an incredible job of capturing poignant moments and emotions throughout the night. The photos we got are truly priceless. Looking at them the first time was like experiencing everything again but with a fresh perspective - they were able to capture things that I'd been too busy in the moment to notice. Highly recommend!

he final product from your photographer, of course, but what I didn't realize is how important all the other pieces are. They are so much more than their incredible photographs (which says a lot). They are talented, respectful, quick (literally in terms of getting to the right spot to capture every moment you could want on the day of, and also in terms of getting us our pictures after the wedding), they know when to bring order to chaos (aka herding our 24 person bridal party) and equally know when to be incognito (it's like they weren't even there for our first look, in the best way). I basically spent more time with Tony and Amy on my wedding day than with my husband! Point is... you want to enjoy the company of the people you'll be spending lots of time with on one of the biggest days of your life. T & A are not only incredible at what they do but two of the most wonderful humans that we genuinely enjoyed spending time with (for our engagement shoot and our wedding). If we didn't so desperately need their amazing photography skills on our big day, we'd have invited the two of them to come to the wedding! They are that cool. Before the wedding even started, my bridesmaids couldn't stop raving about how incredible they were and how they all want them for their future weddings... I already can't wait until we have an excuse to work with the two of them again... we will never work with any one else (sorry Tony and Amy... you're stuck with us!)! If you want to work with Tony and Amy, the only thing you'll have to worry about is if they are available... otherwise... let your worries fade and feel comfort in knowing you're in such great hands!

photos, my maternity photos (Covid flipped my timeline around) and of course my wedding photos. To say they are geniuses at their craft is an understatement. Tony and Amy bring out the absolute most out of their subjects. I had no idea what my wedding day would bring but one thing I knew for certain is that the Hoffers would deliver. I trusted them to execute with little to no direction… I knew they could bring my lakeside wedding vision to life and that they did. My photos were magical and are a memory that will last a lifetime… and what’s more they captured my 7 month old son which is the best gift I can ever ask for… They’re truly the best at their craft and awesome people to boot. Thanks guys so much.

tress and exhaled tranquility. They were flies on the wall letting us enjoy the moment, but took charge when they needed too to keep things from spinning out of control. There was a moment in the night that we’ll never forget where we found ourselves outside of the reception just hanging out with Amy and Tony as if they were two of our many friends we hadn’t seen in years just catching up. And then two days later we saw the pictures which were absolutely stunning

he director of our venue, who sees weddings and wedding photography every day, said when she gets married, she’s hiring them. Their work is INCREDIBLE! If that doesn’t sell you, getting to know them certainly will. They’re so much fun just to hang out with! They make you feel incredibly comfortable and make it easy to laugh and enjoy your time with them. They’ll do their ABSOLUTE BEST (which is amazing btw) to make magic happen for yo ur photos. When Tony or Amy has an idea, you go for it. You won’t regret it. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone that asks (and doesn’t) about photographers. We’ll be calling them again in a couple years for some family portraits too! Wouldn’t trust anyone else.

nd Tony made us feel so comfortable from the first time we met them during our engagement shoot, to when we were dripping in sweat during our wedding. They stayed and shot the dance floor until the last song and took some of the most stunning pictures I have ever seen. I am so grateful that our venue recommended Hoffer Photography. The artistry in the photographs is unmatched and I will forever be fans of theirs. If you are looking for artistic, professional, and stunning pictures like you have never seen, Hoffer Photography is for you.

to capture what makes each couple unique. And as many others have also noted, Tony and Amy are also just genuinely nice people. Their amazing portfolio speaks for itself - I would highly recommend checking out their blog of wedding and engagement photos. They also have an amazing turn-around time for providing photos, which is amazing! I can't recommend them enough.

nd candid shots, and you couldn't even tell he was around! He is so talented and dedicated to his craft. Extremely responsive as well. HIRE HIM!!!! We could not recommend him enough.

hey didn't miss a thing. The fact they are just so fun and laid back makes the day just perfect. Choosing Tony and Amy as our photographers was the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding.

ing such a hard time picking a few favorites to frame because they are all so outstanding. I’ve gotten an inordinate amount of compliments on the photos I’ve posted thus far! You can see the gears constantly turning in Tony and Amy’s head as they view the surroundings to capture each moment of your day in a way you’d never expect - it’s truly an art form. They were also so mindful of our personalities - my husband and I aren’t super lovey dovey in public and they made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. Even a hail storm one hour before our ceremony couldn’t scare them - they still got every single shot we wanted, inside and outside! Thank you so much, Tony and Amy for giving us the ability to look back on our wedding in the absolute best way.

ion and passion for photography are unmatched. Amy and Tony always made you feel as though you were the most important couple they had ever photographed. They made you feel comfortable, and stressed the importance of staying relaxed and enjoying your special day. Amy and Tony pride themselves on capturing your special moments while barely making their presence known. They take the time to get to know their couples so they know how to capture your personalities best. Your photos will always be one-of-a-kind and unique to your special day. Their flexibility, including willingness to travel, and clear communication made the entire experience stress free. We just wish we had more reasons to hire the Hoff Squad! Thanks Guys!

e first time we met them and the quality of their work is above and beyond anything we have seen before. Their entire team is extremely responsive and helped us navigate through re-planning our wedding during COVID. I recommend them to everyone I know that is getting married- you will not be disappointed!

un, which is a pretty big deal, because usually I hate getting pictures taken. I 1000% recommend her for any sort of photo shoot, and look forward to working with her again next year!

sionate, kind, funny, extremely down to earth. Here is a message I wrote to them when I first saw my engagement photos: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am both speechless and screaming at the same time. First off, how you guys pull this out so fast is mind blowing. Second, I don’t even know how to describe how incredible the rest of these are!! As an avid follower of your blog I thought I knew what to expect, but no. I know I keep repeating myself but you two are truly the second best thing about this whole wedding experience, after marrying my husband, of course. Every shot is better than the last. You made us look so great, it is pretty surprising and incredible. Definitely the best we’ve ever looked in photos. I thought the one you initially posted would be “the best” but there is no best, I cannot choose. I don’t know what else to say other than that I cannot wait to see you guys again at our wedding!! If you are interested in hearing some comments from our friends and family they have been: “EPIC”, “SO you”, “SO New York,” and “the ice cream truck shot is so great!” “tender AF”

so used the “Guestcam” from the Hoffers for our photo booth. They helped us to pick a backdrop and even provided some fun props (we supplemented with our own props too). I would say the attendant did a good job but she didn’t seem totally familiar with the technology. For instance the Guestcam supposedly does animated gifs but this service was not offered or made clear to anyone about how to do it. But the Guestcam quality was great and our guests loved it overall. We got our photos back less than a month after the wedding and we were blown away. Jim has an amazing eye for detail and made us feel so comfortable even when we weren’t sure how to pose. But every single picture turned out better than we envisioned. We love our pictures so much we can’t decide what should go in our album! Thank you!

by their pure energy and enthusiasm throughout the night. We knew that when the time came those were the type of people we wanted to surround ourselves with. Being a photographer, Nick had pretty high standards for what he was looking for in a wedding photographer. We both agreed that while we wanted some of those key shots, we did not want the quintessential wedding photography that you see online. We wanted a unique, artistic approach to our pictures that would truly capture the two of us as a couple, which is exactly what we got! We got the pleasure of working with Tony and Amy 4 times over the course of the last 15 months. Nick surprised me with having them capture the proposal at Grand Central Station, which truly made the day even more special. Immediately following the proposal, we were so determined to lock in the Hoffers for the wedding that we started the process of looking for venues and literally coordinated the day around when they were available. If there was one thing we weren’t willing to negotiate on, it was them! Luckily, we found a day that worked for everything! We shot an engagement shoot with them in Tribeca, NYC that was probably one of the most fun experiences we have had together. Tony and Amy made us feel so comfortable to where we could just be ourselves. It literally felt like having two friends with you all day. I don’t think the smiles ever left our faces. We were so blown away by the results and couldn’t wait to share the pictures with our family and friends. As an additional experience for me, I did a boudoir shoot as Nick’s wedding gift with Amy Hoffer and Lindsay Backner that was a once in a lifetime experience. It was such a memorable time for me. The confidence I felt in that moment and then in seeing the results afterwards was something both me and my husband will cherish for many years. I couldn’t thank the two of them enough for making me feel like a million bucks that day and for the beautiful images I can now look back on. When you’re hiring vendors for a wedding, you try to work off recommendations as much as possible. After that, you’re pretty much left with online reviews, phone interviews and hoping that you have made the right decisions. When we hired Hoffer Photography we had no doubt in our minds that we made the best decision for our day. We knew that we had hired individuals who would amplify our day with their talent and positivity. We fully entrusted them to capture our most precious moments and felt completely comfortable in leaving creative liberty at their disposal. Not only were we so impressed with them that day, but our family and friends have all commented on how wonderful they both were. They seemed to be everywhere you wanted them to be, capturing each special moment, but you never really knew they were there at the same time! We’re so thankful for these past 15 months and getting to work with the Hoffers. We can only hope that we will have more opportunities to work creatively together in the future!

photography is truly unique! It’s obvious that they genuinely care about each and every couple that they work with. Tony and Amy have a gift for seeing things differently than everyone else and for taking the most incredible pictures that will leave you speechless and wanting more! They even coached us when we asked for advice on how to pose or where to look! Tony and Amy are extremely talented, very professional and so down to earth! The Hoffer squad made taking pictures so much fun and we had an absolutely blast working with them! Highly recommend them to anyone needing a photographer!

arried about 5 months ago, and I have already started crying writing the first few sentences of this review. "Gratitude" does not even begin to explain my feelings toward Amy and Tony, who are not only the most talented, creative, funky photographers in the world but two incredible souls that we consider true friends. The photos from our wedding (and from our engagement session) are stunning. There is no other word for them. Every time I open our album or click through our Facebook pictures, I lose my breath, because we look like ourselves in EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT. You can feel the emotion in every single photograph. How is that even possible?! When we were planning the wedding, the most important things we were looking for were the music & the photos. We went to Amy and Tony's house to meet with them (the 2nd photography team we met with) and I started crying in the driveway as we left, saying "I cannot believe we found them." I just felt so lucky, and we texted them less than an hour later (before we even got home) asking for the contract. I felt like they *knew* us, and that made me feel like our wedding day would feel comfortable, authentic, and easy. And, it was. It really was. Tony and Amy are so funny, cool, easy-going, positive, and goofy that every session felt like the best date ever. I forgot I was being photographed and instead just felt like my best self, enjoying the moment with the love of my life. AND THE RESULT IS MAGICAL. MAGICAL. To give you an idea of how impactful Amy and Tony are, one of my strongest memories of the wedding was in the quiet moment after putting on my wedding dress. My mom left the room to go gather the bridesmaids, and it was just me and Tony. I finally took a deep breath and said "I'm getting married." I started shaking and smiling and feeling EVERYTHING all at once. It was spiritual and powerful and I just remember thinking, "What would this be like if any other photographer was here?" I was able to have that special moment, that feeling of being a BRIDE, 100% genuinely and authentically. I felt like I had a moment to myself, even though Tony was there, because Tony made me feel so safe and comfortable. And now I have it in a picture that makes me cry every time I see it. I could go on and on about this but the reality is, Tony and Amy are artists that see PEOPLE. They are empaths that use their gift to create beautiful pieces of art that you will treasure for the rest of your life. They see moments that others don't see. They capture feelings in their photographs. No staged nonsense, no Pinterest trends; true, beautiful, raw, real emotions of the people you love. What else could you ever want.

ures I've ever seen! They have the ability to capture moments in time that truly encapsulate the joy, excitement, and love on your wedding day that you'll want to remember forever. Looking back on our photos, I genuinely feel like I am reliving the day all over again. Their attention to detail is impeccable, their creativity is undeniable, and plus, they're a blast to spend the day with! All of our family and friends have not stopped gushing over the images, and we're so excited to look back on them for years to come. Book Hoffer Photography now and spend your energy worrying about something else - they've got this. I promise.

e's suggested vendor list and to be totally honest we initially looked pass them because I thought I knew what I wanted. I can confidently say, you don't know what you want until you look at Amy and Tony's photography. After second guessing what I thought I wanted, we looked to the Hoffers. Once I saw the moments they captured and the people they are, I was prepared to do anything to have them capture my wedding. My husband and I are big on booking people not companies, and that is exactly what you get with the Hoffers. They are some of the most genuine and kind, not to mention coolest, people we've ever met. For our engagement shoot they were totally down for our ideas (formalwear in the woods, rowboats and photographing from kayaks, etc) and made us feel like the cameras weren't even there. The same can be said for our wedding day. When we got our pictures back I remember saying, "Wait, were they like sitting in the aisle??" You don't just book photographers when you book them. They helped us through the entire process, gave us tips and tricks the day of, and Tony even helped with my veil when it just would not stay put for my mom and sister. We aren't the only ones totally gushing over Amy and Tony though. Our friends and family can't get through talking about our wedding without raving about the Hoffers at least once (but usually more). To put it simply, if my husband and I got married over and over again, we would book the Hoffers every time.

hey could get to know us. I knew from the quality of their photos they would be perfect, but then when you start to work with them it goes above and beyond just photography. They are so professional, sometimes you forget they're around and you'd just enjoying your day with friends and family. On my wedding day morning my makeup artist was running a little late as were the groomsmen. Instead of getting frustrated or looking to me for answers Tony & Amy set out a plan. Amy found locations for first looks and bridal party pictures. Tony kept in touch with her so that the brides maids (and me) never crossed paths with the groomsmen. Tony even helped me get my veil in when my mom had trouble getting it secured. We received our photos back less than a month after the wedding and they perfectly capture the joy, laughter, happiness and love from our wedding day.
