It's a shame we are limited to 5 stars on here, because the Hoffers deserve 10x that amount. I cannot say enough amazing things about working with the Hoffers. Tony and Amy were an absolute joy to work with before our wedding, at our engagement shoot, and on our wedding day. On top of being phenomenal photographers and capturing everything with a beautiful and unique view, they are sincerely the nicest people. We connected with them immediately on our first call and we were genuinely excited to work with them throughout the process. They were always available for a quick question and I trusted them entirely to make our pictures look great and everything run smoothly. They had the best attitudes with our many obstacles: our engagement shoot was during the Canadian wildfire smoke last summer and our wedding day had remnants of Hurricane Helene. They were absolute pros and not only made our pictures look great, but were so flexible and guided us through our options. The pictures really speak for themselves, but we could not be happier with how they turned out. Hiring Tony and Amy was the best decision we made for our wedding and I would have another wedding just so we could work with them again. Do yourself a favor and hire them, immediately.
During our first meeting with Tony and Amy, it was obvious how passionate they are for their work, and we knew they had to be our wedding photographers. Easily one of the best decisions we ever made. Both Tony and Amy possess a unique ability to put others at ease. Even during one of our most intimate moments, the first look, my husband and I always felt comfortable with their presence. Tony and Amy’s ability to put others at ease is only rivaled by their ability to capture a genuine moment. It is absolutely remarkable how talented they are. Within days, they sent us a preview on their blog, and delivered our whole gallery within a few weeks. We were blown away with the results.
No words can describe how beautifully the pictures turned out. However, it is Tony and Amy’s attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond that separate them from all others. For example, Tony’s pre-first look checklist saved me from walking out without my earrings on. Amy similarly saved the day when she swiftly resewed on a button to a groomsman’s tux jacket. There is nothing these two can’t do!
Hoffer photography was recommended to me by a friend. After seeing Hoffer’s instagram and reaching out to confirm they were available, we went ahead and booked them, and boy was it the best decision. Not only were they very professional and meticulous to every detail of getting the perfect photo, they were genuine and interested in our back story, and making sure they listened to what we were looking for on this day (beautiful shots of us.. and our pup!!). As fellow dog lovers themselves, they knew how important incorporating our dog into our special day. Our guest have raved about how stunning and gorgeous our pictures are. They are the best and we highly, highly recommend Hoffer photography.
I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE PICS!!!! I have known the Hoffers for a few years as personal friends and before I got engaged, I knew I wanted to book them to shoot my wedding. It was a dream come true to have them with us on our special day!
Both Tony and Amy are incredible people, talented photographers, and an absolute joy to be around. They were fun, hard working, never complained, had a great attitude, worked together seamlessly, and made my husband and myself feel so comfortable. We had to pivot our wedding day plans a bit due to rain and the Hoffers were able to pivot easily with us! They have given us a gift that we could never replace with these incredible wedding day photos. So what are you waiting for?? HIRE THEM NOW!!!
If you are reading this, stop and book the Hoffers! Now you can finish reading about the most talented and amazing humans. Tony and Amy came highly recommended to us shortly after our engagement. Photography was very important to us. We wanted photographers who could capture our day in a unique, authentic, artistic, non-traditional way. After reviewing the Hoffer's portfolio, we were already sold. Their images exceeded anything we could have ever envisioned painting stories in such a unique way. Then we had the pleasure of meeting Tony and Amy, and from that moment, they became our forever friends. They are people you simply don't let go of. They were so personable, natural, and their kindness, energy, excitement, and investment in getting to know us as people, understanding our vision, and learning our story, sealed the deal. We are not big fans of being in front of the camera. We often feel uncomfortable and unnatural, even though we've mastered the art of the selfie. Originally, we weren't planning to do engagement photos, but after meeting Tony and Amy, we quickly changed our minds, and thankful that we did. Tony and Amy suggested the most beautiful and perfect location for this shoot. They made us feel comfortable and like ourselves. Most importantly, they spent quality time with us—four hours of quality time. We never felt rushed and felt like their top priority. It was like walking around a huge park with a group of friends, laughing, and taking such unique and creative pictures. Tony even climbed a tree to capture a picture that replicated one we loved from their portfolio. Then came the first of many times Tony and Amy left us speechless. They sent us our engagement photos -they were perfect. They were pure, they were natural, and they were us. They captured our vision in EVERY. SINGLE. WAY. We went from not enjoying being in front of the camera to eagerly looking forward to our wedding day, knowing that Tony and Amy would be there to work their magic once again. On our wedding day, Tony and Amy were simply incredible. They were able to capture moments that we didn’t even know existed and they were the best ‘flies on the wall’ to capture our day in the most organic way. They stood in the freezing rain with us, laughed with us when we shot champagne right at them, their cameras, (and in Tony’s eye) instead of to the side of them, and placed their bodies in the most awkward and uncomfortable positions just to capture our day in the most artistic way. Their ability to tell our wedding story through their lens was nothing short of magical! Every glance, every simile, captured perfectly. They were with us from the early morning excitement as we got ready, to the heartfelt ceremony, the joyous celebration, and the romantic moments shared. Their presence was calming and reassuring, and their creativity knows no bounds. The way they captured not just images, but emotions and memories, was awe-inspiring. Then there is the turnaround time of our images that was astonishingly quick. We received our sneak peak in just a few days which was more than a little preview and included 70 breathtaking photos! The rest of our gallery arrived just 2 weeks later. If you are looking for photographers who have an unwavering talent, are whole-heartedly invested in what they do, and genuinely wonderful and kind human beings, Tony and Amy are the ones to choose. They're not just photographers; they're friends who will make your special moments even more memorable. Book them now, you won’t regret it!
We could not be more happy that we chose Hoffer Photography to capture our once in a lifetime wedding day memories. My husband and I are both photographers, as a matter of fact, we were both mentored by Tony and Amy, separately, long before we even met each other. These wonderful and talented people have had a huge impact on our photography, our businesses, and our lives long before we hired them to photograph our wedding. Originally we wanted them to come to our wedding as guests, but after looking at other photographers from all around the country, we ended up coming to the conclusion that we wouldn’t be happy with anyone BUT them photographing our wedding.
On the wedding day, Tony was with me for getting ready, and I’m not entirely sure how a 6’7” tall man could go unnoticed most of the time. My only theory is that he can actually turn invisible. The biggest compliment that I can give is that I was able to be fully present with the people I love and the photos reflect that feeling completely. Amy was with my husband and she captured some truly beautiful layered compositions of the whole family at his parents’ house and the chaos of a house filled with love. Our portraits are stunning and capture the genuine love we have for each other as well as creative shots that can only come from the mind of Tony Hoffer.
I am so happy we have these photos to relive the best day of my life forever. My only regret is that we didn’t get to have Amy and Tony *IN* more of the photos as friends <3
We knew we wanted to hire the Hoffers in the early stages of our wedding planning, when we got to look through one of their albums on a venue tour. I am so glad we got to work with them! Their style is so fun, and they somehow capture the important small moments, even when you don't realize they're there.
But on top of being great photographers, Tony and Amy are really, really good at helping to manage the day. They were calming when the situation called for it, but were also able to wrangle our rather large families into portraits in a timely manner. My partner and I are not normally very comfortable in front of the camera, but Tony and Amy helped us feel natural during our first look.
The only place where they could improve is with the photo booth. The attendant was not as enthusiastic or detail-oriented as Tony and Amy, and the guest book and props did not get put out until later in the evening.
However, the photos we do have are amazing. And Tony and Amy are SPEEDY. We had a preview in 3 days, and the full set of photos in 3 weeks. We would absolutely hire them again.
Quite possibly the only things better than the photos Amy and Tony take, are Amy and Tony themselves. It’s unbelievable how they both manage to capture every single moment throughout the day, while also adding an incredible amount of help, positivity, and energy into it as well. They are the perfect blend of being unnoticeable when the time calls for it, peace when some wedding day stress ensues and directness when large family photos need organization and focus. Of course, we’re overjoyed with the photos (which were sent back in just 19 days with a preview in only 3 days!!), but we’re even more happy that Amy and Tony were part of the day themselves.
It’s apparent in the results of their work how much they truly love their jobs, but seeing their smiles all day while photographing proves it as well. Amy’s was the first and largest smile I saw the moment I stepped off the trolley at the church as she was shooting photos of me and the girls. She was just as excited as the rest of us and it instantly brought another sense of comfort, allowing me to be relaxed and confident. Tony, was equally as happy and calm, constantly reminding me we were okay on time throughout the day! Thank you both so much. We have looked at our photos almost every day since our wedding over a month ago now and will for the rest of our lives. We’ve received endless compliments from family and friends and would recommend your services in a heart beat. Their joy and professionalism made our day that much happier and smooth sailing, if you’ve read this far in my review what are you waiting for!? Book them !!
I cannot express how amazing Amy and Tony are! They are easygoing, patient, and super fun to be around. They not only captured beautiful photos of our wedding day but also enhanced it by their fun personalities. 10/10 would recommend for any event.
It was such a joy and privilege to work with Amy & Tony on our wedding day. We talked to quite a few photographers before finding Amy & Tony, but from the minute we talked to them we knew our search was over. Not only are the pictures absolutely incredible, but they were so much fun to spend the day with. The way that Amy & Tony captured every moment of our reception without me even noticing that they were there was absolutely incredible. Our bridal party is non-stop talking about Amy & Tony and how seamlessly they fit into our day. My only regret is not extending their time to stay through the end of the reception!! If you are looking for incredible pictures AND incredible people hire Amy & Tony!!
My husband and I just celebrated our one year anniversary and took a lovely trip down memory lane reminiscing on all of the wonderful moments of wedding day. One year later and we are SO SO thankful that we booked Hoffer Photography as our wedding photographers. Amy and Tony were INCREDIBLE to work with. They traveled to New Jersey for our engagement photos and to Philadelphia for our wedding. I am so impressed with their flexibility, friendliness, professionalism, and most of all - their talent. They are the best team/duo! They captured EVERY moment & emotion during our special day. We received such amazing feedback from all of our guests about them during the wedding and post-wedding when looking at the photos.
Our initial meeting (via Zoom) was informative, relaxed, and FUN. It was clear, after one meeting, that we needed to book them! They gave us our 1000+ photos back in a timely manner. Their website is easy to navigate & allows for a quick and easy download of all photos. I would recommend them 100% to anyone!
Thank you, Tony and Amy! We love and appreciate you!
we are speechless, we had the ultimate privilege of Tony and Amy capturing our wedding day. We are so happy we came across Hoffer Photography, they are so talented and the emotions and different angles that are captured by them are absolutely amazing. you definitely will not be disappointed when hiring Hoffer Photography for your special event. they are so easy to work with, and me being shy / awkward in front of the camera they do an awesome job making you feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera, to us it feels like more of a friendship had been built through the planning process and especially the day of.
By the time Amy & Tony (Hoffer Photography) gave us our photos back, I was convinced that I would have the right words to express how much A&T meant to me, my husband and to our wedding day. But, to no surprise, A&T beat my expectations by sending us our photos prior to their deadline and I’m left still trying to find the right words to do justice to how amazing these two are.
As a couple who doesn’t necessarily enjoy getting our photos taken, A&T made the whole experience such a breeze. They made us feel so comfortable and in turn, really made our time together so fun. It didn’t feel like we were working with two vendors, it felt like we were working with two friends. We had guests during and after the wedding telling us how impressed they were with A&T and they weren’t wrong. On top of their amazing photographer skills and their larger than life personalities, you can also see how much they love each other (husband & wife!) and that itself made me smile throughout the wedding.
They are down to earth, friendly, highly skilled and truly just one of a kind. After the wedding, we got a sneak peek via their blog of some of our photos which was so special (literally only a few days after!!). We were able to share the blog link with all of our friends and family and it was so sweet to see how excited people were to get a “sneak peek” at our wedding photos. Then, we got the full album back and I was blown again, again, by their photos. The photos are incredible and so unique. They captured true candid moments throughout the entire event and also had such creative ideas for our individual, family + bridal photos that turned out wonderful.
Overall, I can’t recommend Hoffer Photography enough. They made our wedding day and we will always remember how special they both were to us and our day. The day would not have been so fun, energetic and wonderful without them.
Amy and Tony Hoffer are extraordinary photographers, but, more importantly, they are extraordinary people. We met the Hoffers a little over a year before our wedding for engagement photos. They were so fun, easy to be around, and had really creative ideas—the perfect combination to get breezy, natural, and gorgeous engagement photos. Over the next year, we were pretty regularly in touch about our vision of what we wanted from the photographs of our wedding day, and they listened! From the getting ready photos to the photos of the chaos of the late-night dance floor, every picture is stunning. Amy and Tony made us and our wedding party feel comfortable and have fun; they put forethought into how to light a pretty tricky-to-light ceremony space (a planetarium); and they had clever ideas for poses/photographs we should take. Everyone had fun, even while we were taking the more formal photos, and we knew the photos were going to be gorgeous. We were right. We got a preview just a few days after the wedding and could not believe how stunning the photos were! Just a few weeks later, we got the full set of photographs, and somehow those were even better! This is, no doubt, attributable to their planning and creativity, but also to their fun nature that made everyone feel like they could act like themselves. The Hoffers are an amazing duo—we could not recommend them more!
Jim Heine is the absolute best!! We got our pictures back in less than 3 weeks and we LOVE them! Like everyone says, the day goes by so quickly, but thanks to Jim, we get to relive it whenever we want! We don't know how he did it without being seen, but Jim captured EVERYTHING (all of the love, fun, laughs, happy tears, jokes, embarrassing yet endearing dance moves, little candid moments, etc.). He's magic! He made us / our guests feel so comfortable and at ease; we trusted him completely and wow did he deliver! Jim is an absolute gem of a person and he and the rest of the Hoffer team are a pleasure to work with!! We can't recommend Hoffer enough!
There are no words to describe the pure magic that is Hoffer Photography. Amy and Tony are incredible. Their talent and vision are unmatched. They have a special ability to capture the candid moments and you can really feel the emotion pouring 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.
Hoffer Photography (specifically Jim!) are absolutely amazing. Jim was incredibly warm and fantastic to work with. He brought an artistic eye but was able to capture the “little” moments and expressions that we will look back on and cherish forever. 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!!!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Tony and Amy. They are beyond talented and amazing photographers. They are also extremely personable and great people to work with. They make taking photos so effortless and enjoyable. It rained for most of 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!
If you're currently feeling lost trying to choose a photographer -- we've been there. When we started looking at photographers online, so many photos looked the same and it was really challenging to even know what we were looking for. And then 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.
I cannot say enough good things about Amy and Tony. We originally selected them back in 2018 (!?) after looking through their online portfolio and being super impressed by the artistic quality of their photos. We purchased a package that included 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!
If I could give Tony and Amy an infinite amount of stars, I would. They are the best of the best. They shot my best friends July 2020 wedding. As soon as I saw their work, I knew we needed them on our team! It's always important that you love the 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!
What can I say about Tony and Amy Hoffer… they’re the BEST photographers out there. When I saw their album at Trout Lake, I knew they were the ONES. While I didn’t end up getting married there, I began working with the Hoffers for my engagement 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.
We were prepared to leave this review before even seeing the pictures, that’s how amazing Tony and Amy were. They navigated through stressed out relatives, pushy vendors, and a train wreck of a timeline effortlessly. They inhaled all of our stress 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
Amy & Tony are hands down the best wedding photographers ever. We were blown away by the pictures they got. Every single person we know always exclaims about how amazing our engagement and wedding photos are. They are literally stunning. Even the 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.
If I could give 6 stars I would. I prioritized my photographers when forming my wedding budget, because pictures last forever...and I am not sure I could have ended up with better people (and pictures) in Amy and Tony Hoffer if I tried. Amy and 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.
I fell in love with my friend's wedding photos and knew I needed to try to book the Hoffers if they were available! The stars aligned and they had our weekend open. Tony and Amy's photos are not only beautiful, but they have an amazing ability 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.
My husband and I hired Jim to photograph our wedding - we would hire him again in a heartbeat! He was highly professional but also extremely accommodating and kind. During the ceremony and reception, he was able to capture incredibly natural and 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.
You will not find more talented photographers or kinder people than Tony and Amy. They are super creative and somehow manage to capture every little detail and candid moment. I'm not sure how they were everywhere at once, but it seemed like they 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.
A good friend of mine used the Hoffer’s for her wedding photos and once I saw them, I knew I had to have them as well. Every shot is so incredibly artful, well thought out and unique - these are not run of the mill wedding photos, and we’re having 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.
We couldn’t have been happier with the experience we had with Amy and Tony (aka The Hoff Squad)! It took us all of two minutes, after meeting them and seeing their portfolio, to realize we had to have them capture our special day. Their devotion 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!
Their photos will speak for themselves, but Hoffer photography is the best in the business! Tony and Amy shot our wedding and we could not be happier! They are amazing photographers and wonderful people! They made us feel so comfortable from the 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!
Megan is the absolute best! She was extremely easy to work with for both our engagement and wedding pictures. She went waaaaay over expectations, especially because we had to deal with working around COVID-19. She makes getting pictures taken fun, 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!
Amy and Tony were our photographers for our engagement shoot, wedding and (because we couldn't get enough) our anniversary shoot. They are not only the most talented people in their line of work but they are also incredible human beings. Compassionate, 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”
We worked with Jim for both our proposal and our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! Jim and Lindsey, their office manager, were so responsive to all of our emails. I think we are officially adding Jim to our family tree!
We also 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!
Before even getting engaged we witnessed Tony and Amy Hoffer at work at a friend’s wedding and we couldn’t stop talking about them for so long after. We were blown away with not just the results of the images themselves, which were amazing, but 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!
Where do we begin? From the moment We met with Tony and Amy we knew that they would be the photographers to capture not only our wedding day, but our love story! Photography is so much more than a job for the Hoffers. Their talent & passion for 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!
I have written text messages to the Hoffers themselves and to so many of my friends, Facebook and Instagram captions, and email after email about my experience with the Hoffers, but I have yet to write an official review. My husband and I got married 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.
I questioned every detail about our wedding day, but there was one thing I never thought twice about - the Hoffers.
Aside from being some of the sweetest and most down to earth people you'll ever meet, Tony and Amy take the most beautiful pictures 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.
This review is long overdue, but I've been trying to figure out how to convey the pure magic that is Hoffer Photography. Amy and Tony shot our wedding a little over a month ago and our engagement in August 2017. We found the Hoffers on our venue'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.
Hire them. Visit their webpage, look at their photos and then call them, you won't regret it.
I booked Tony & Amy who were two of the most down to Earth people I have met. When we initially met them, they us about ourselves for a bit so they 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.
Hire the Hoffers (Tony & Amy). That is all.
In all seriousness, our engagement and wedding photos are so spectacular! My husband and I met with the Tony and Amy after my friend recommended them to me. I was in the process of reviewing other photographers’ work/style and put a lot of effort into the search because I knew that having amazing photos of my wedding was one of the most important things to me. As soon as we left our initial meeting with Tony and Amy, we weren’t even in the car before I told my then fiancée, “those are our photographers, we are signing the contract when we get home.” Amy and Tony make you feel like you are old friends (like seriously you want to be their besties), which makes the shooting experience fun, carefree and results in the most incredible photos. I think that is one of the things that makes them unique, you feel so comfortable around them that the camera seems secondary, you don’t even realize they are getting all of these amazing shots of you because you are just “hanging out”. You can also feel that they are just as invested as you are in making sure you having memorable photos and that makes them so special.
We just received our wedding photos and I started tearing up. Through their photos it is like reliving the whole day over! For me this was amazing especially in regards to the reception photos since there are so many moments that are a blur since it goes by so fast. What we love so much is that Tony and Amy captured so many candid moments at the wedding/reception, so you actually get to see what an amazing time your guests had and you feel the joy. Plus, their photos just make the bride and groom pop!
If you want photos that are NOT going to be run of the mill, static, typical wedding photos: pick the Hoffers. If you WANT creative, colorful, imaginative, candid shots: pick the Hoffers. Invest the money in your wedding photos and go with Tony and Amy, they are just the best!
I wish I could give Hoffer Photography 10 stars, because they deserve it! Their work always blows me away and I knew I had to have them capture my wedding day. The pictures that were taken were so tasteful, artsy, dramatic, incredible..everything you want in a wedding photographer, you will find with Amy and Tony. They are simply the best.
We had a wonderful experience with the Hoffer team and our photographer, Jim. The entire team is easily approachable and both Jim and the studio manager, Lindsay, were quick to respond to questions. We had a blast at our engagement shoot, and even more fun on our actual wedding day. Jim and his second shooter, Tommy, made us very comfortable while we were getting ready and grabbed great shots of both of us, our families, and our bridal party. The photos from the day were exactly what we had hoped for - tons of candid shots of us interacting with our families and friends, as well as some gorgeous photos of the two of us that made us look way more photogenic than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend the Hoffer group to any friends getting married in the future!
We will never be able to thank Tony and Amy for capturing our big day. We not only got amazing wedding (engagement and boudoir) photos from hiring them but we got amazing friends as well. Photography was the most important vendor to me when we started planning a wedding. After meeting with a handful of photographers, no one was really wowing us until we met Tony and Amy. From the first meeting with Tony and Amy we felt like we had known them for years. They made us feel so comfortable, which is huge when those people are taking your picture.
When it came to the wedding day there is no one else I would have wanted there. I think I spent more time with Tony than I did with my husband that day. Tony and Amy are an amazing pair and are there for literally everything. Whether it's fixing veils and boutonnieres, hiding in the trees, or getting you a much needed margarita, they do it all while taking amazing photos. They were worth every single penny and I'm sure we will be calling them for more pictures throughout our lives!
We had Jim and Ray photograph our wedding in June and they did a phenominal job!! They were both so great to work with, they listened to our thoughts about how we wanted the day to look and flow and they captured moments and details that we didn’t see but will now remember forever! Thank you guys for capturing our special day so beautifully!
We can not even begin to describe how perfect our wedding photos turned out! Amy and Tony were so amazing to work with, they have such an amazing eye and were so down to earth and fun to be around. They made our whole bridal party feel relaxed. ALL of our pictures came fully finished and edited in 3 WEEKS! Some of my friends waited months for theirs. We even had a preview while still on our honeymoon! The pictures were so unique and captured the day so perfectly I only cried the first 10 times going through them ! If you’re even considering using them just do it!! Everything I’ve seen them turn out is simply perfection!
What can we say about Amy and Tony? As fellow wedding photographers, my husband and I have been following their work for years. When we decided to plan our 10 year vow renewal celebration, we knew no other photographers would suffice. Even though their portraits are beautiful, the Hoffers have a way of freezing moments which is super important to us. On the day of, Amy and Tony were so chill and most of the time, we barely knew they were there. When we did catch them from the corner of our eyes, we saw them capturing so many moments that we can not wait to relive. When our blog post went live just 3 days later, it was an amazing feeling to relive the excitement of the weekend. We know once we receive all of the images, it will bring us back to that night, which is one we will never forget thanks to their amazing photos. Thank you Amy and Tony!
This is a long overdue review, so, long story short, HIRE THE HOFFERS. I had high expectations from the moment we met Tony and Amy through our initial consultation due to the countless hours I spent researching to find the right photographers for our wedding day. Needless to say, they exceeded them all. Tony and Amy are so kind, thoughtful, FUNNY, and we got so many compliments during and after the wedding about how wonderful they were. We decided last minute to have them put together our wedding album. It was a collaborative process and Amy was open to notes, but we loved EXACTLY what they put together for us, and we even had them add 10 more spreads. On top of it all, they are quick and efficient in the post-production process, which is always appreciated when we were anxious to see the photos! From the first meeting to the final product delivery, the experience was amazing.
Budgets can be tight in the moment, but wedding photography can last centuries. To the ones who are debating reaching out, they are more than worth it. Hire them. Buy their plane tickets. Fly them across the globe. Whatever you need to do to get them to that special event. They will exceed all of your expectations and then some. It will not take but a few moments speaking with them to realize how talented they are at capturing your moments, and then you see the end result, and even just their “sneak peeks”, and exceed that even more. Their talent and art speaks for itself, so this is just a simple thank you from one new Mr. & Mrs. to their spectacular vendor. Tony and Amy, you are simply amazing and we will treasure this beautiful photography for years to come. Thank you so so so much.

We worked with Farid for our wedding and he was nothing short of amazing. He was such a friendly, easy-going, and kind individual. This was so important to us because it meant we could be ourselves the day of our wedding. That's of course what we wanted to see in our photos, not some plastic couple, but ourselves. I am not a big planner. I am not someone who had planned her wedding years before her engagement. Having now gone through all the planning I can fully appreciate how much goes into that one day. I also appreciate how quickly that day comes and goes. What has always been most important to me was capturing our memories and the feel of that day because it's literally over in a moment. I cannot express how beautifully Farid managed to capture our memories. I have poured over countless portfolios and he stands out as wonderfully unique. He does not simply capture a first look, first dance, or a father's toast but makes them into art. When you look at his photos you can feel what you felt that exact moment, the nerves and the excitement and it's an awesome thing. So of course I would highly recommend him. I promise should you choose him as your photographer you will spend at least part of the day wishing you could see things from his perspective. I can also promise when you finally are seeing the final product, your day, you will be amazed.
I’m not sure I️ could ever find the words to thank the Hoffers. There are qualities you never realize that make a great photographer, especially if you don’t work with one often, until they are right in front of you. Tony and Amy were always enthusiastic and shared their excitement with us when they got an award winning shot which was much appreciated. They were creative and adventurous which was exactly what we were looking for. Tony was able to crack a smile from me on more than one occasion even during my stress filled moments with his bubbly personality and quirky comments. (Much appreciated, Tony!) Not to mention their shots are untouchable. Together their talent is undeniable. I’m absolutely honored that they were able to be apart of our special day and capture the most perfect pictures for us.
We worked with Farid for our wedding photos and had the pleasure of working with Lindsay and Thomas , as well.
The Hoffer Team was amazing to work with. They are responsive, kind, knowledgeable and really make the process fun and easy!
Farid did an absolutely AMAZING job with our photos. They are stunning, creative and perfectly displayed the emotions of our wedding day. We could not have asked for better photos. Farid was not pushy, but still made great suggestions, while also making sure to get the shots that we asked for.
It really is true - The best way is to just let them do their thing. These guys know what they are doing!
The Hoffer Team is the best of the best! We would use them again in a heartbeat.
Thank you Farid, Lindsay and Thomas for capturing our wedding weekend memories that we can look back on forever!
There really are not enough words to explain how amazing Tony & Amy Hoffer are. From the moment we first chatted with them about our wedding, I knew we made a great decision to have them photograph our wedding. Pictures mean a lot to us, and we decided we could skimp on literally anything else, but that. Leading up to the wedding I was worried about pretty much every little thing, except them and that was such a great feeling. Throughout the whole day they made us feel so relaxed and almost like they weren't there. Which in turn captured the most genuine real pictures of us (and our guests!) that we will cherish forever. We haven't stopped receiving compliments on how amazing our photos are. They seriously blow every other photographer out of the water with their shots and techniques. They are the BEST team, incredibly kind and fun with a great sense of humor. I can't say enough great things about them. But I will say, if you don't book them you will regret it. No one else even comes close to what they can do. They are THAT AMAZING!
Hoffer Photography was amazing!! Amy and Tony are so personable and easy to work with. They really helped talk through the day ahead of time in order to make sure things went as we had in mind. The day went off without a hitch and they were a huge part of that. They gave great direction during pictures, but allowed for a lot of candid moments to be captured. We received our pictures very promptly and they were even more beautiful than we could have imagined!! We received the link to make our album quickly as well...yet are still sifting through the pictures to decide on our favorites. We would highly recommend using them for your special day!
Tony and Amy couldn't have made our day any better. Thehbwere with us ALL day and got so many wonderful photos of us. They did a great job making us feel comfortable and really showed their creativity throughout the day. Could not be happier with these guys! We had so much fun hanging out with them. Just check out their website and you will totally understand. Simply the best. Thank you for making our day so special!
We can't say enough about Hoffer. From our first inquiry through the issuance of our wedding photos everything has been professional, on time, and the photos are unbelievable. We made he inquiry for our wedding date and were teamed up with Jim Heine. He is lovely to work with. Such a gentlemen and truly so passionate about his craft. He got down and dirty (and sweaty) during an unseasonably warm engagement shoot in September for us. Then for our wedding in May, he and his assistants caught literally every memorable moment without being instructive at all. The only downside is that now we have so many great photos to choose from we don't know where to begin! Our photos are so unique and just truly beautiful. What a way to remember our special day!
When I say that I have had an unhealthy obsession with the Hoffers' work I'm not kidding. I began following them back in 2008! As time went on, the photos kept getting better and better, and they were getting more and more popular: I was worried they would be out of the wedding business by the time I was ready to get married. Thankfully they were still doing what they do best and they were my first concern on the date was set. I was so happy when we booked them, because I knew that it was the best choice we could make. The one thing you leave you wedding with is your memories, everything else goes away and the photos help you hold onto those memories forever!
The work that they do is absolutely amazing and unique. Which is crazy that they can find a way to make your photos unique for how many clients they have! To say I love my engagement and wedding photos is an understatement. I don't even know the right words! Amy and Tony work so well together, people keep telling me how they looked like they were having a great time while working. Which I think helps guests and the bridal party relax and get even better pictures. Everyone is in love with the photos!
We also used version of a photo booth, the guest cam. It was amazing! After the wedding you get digital copies of all the photos taken. I was able to print those photos and include them in with my thank you cards!
I know this review isn't doing them all the justice they deserve but I think I still have wedding brain. They are amazing and you need to book them!!!
If you are looking for those unique photos that will make all your friends and family jealous look no further and book the Hoffers now! My husband and I worked with the lead photographers, Tony and Amy and i have to say, they are THE BEST- you won't find better for your wedding day. The first thing we did when we were planning our wedding was to set a wedding date with Tony and Amy. We knew they filled up fast and wanted to have a date set with them before we set up anything else. In my eyes, all you need is the bride and groom and Hoffer Photography- everything else is secondary. The reason I say this is because they put so much creative thought into every picture; your photos will be unique, creative, gorgeous, top quality and will cause you to want to enlarge all of them to 40x40 and hang them up all over your house. Apart from the impeccable photos and service, Tony and Amy are very professional, extremely nice and fun! They are wonderful people and I don’t think you can ask for a better combo of superb work and awesome people! If I could hire them to follow me around to document all the important events in my life I would :) Book them NOW- you won’t regret it.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I was told that there is no price tag for photos and I couldn't agree more! The Hoffers are not only the best photographers in the business but also the most adorable husband and wife with the sweetest dog too. They are the most organized yet laid back (Yes this is possible) couple possible. I don't know the first thing about photography and told them not to be bashful and to run the show- our photos are perfect!! The captured out day perfectly and we are so thankful for their quick work and incredible love for every couple they work with. Don't look any where else this duo is the best!
We used Hoffer Photography for both our engagement photos and our wedding day and they were absolutely amazing from beginning to end! From top to bottom, the staff at Hoffer are utterly professional, unbelievably nice and so easy to work with which made our planning from out of state so much easier. Jim and Lindsay could not have been more fun to work with, Lindsay with providing us all of the information to help us get through the entire process, and Jim with guiding us through all of our photoshoots. They are lovely people and all have a great sense of humor and were willing to go the extra mile just to make us happy. Even on our wedding day when the photobooth had a slight malfunction, Jim and Lindsay were quick to make sure they could do everything possible to still get us the photos and make up for it where they could. I would highly recommend these guys if you want to take away some absolutely beautiful and stunning pictures after your big day!!
I've been following the Hoffer's for years. I love their work! They shot our engagement and maternity and we were over the moon. I'm sure we will love our finished wedding photos, and we loved the kindness, fun, and professionalism that we've seen from them every time. They're amazing, intelligent, creative and stay on top of the photography game.
There is no other way to describe our wedding photos except as perfect. Tony and Amy are so professional yet they are so much fun and make you feel completely comfortable the day of your wedding. I have no idea how they were able to capture all the small moments- it was like there were 10 photographers there, not just 2. We also used the GuestCam at our wedding that Hoffer Photography offers. I love the fact that it is not an actual photo booth- it is a camera set up that takes high quality pictures. Our guests each got a copy of their photo strips and we also received copies of all of the photo strips. Our wedding photos are not just pictures; they are truly works of art. Tony and Amy's style is so unique and creative; they are able to really incorporate the setting, décor, environment, etc. into each and every picture. We are not simply saying this because we used Hoffer Photography for our wedding, but you honestly will not find a better photographer. They are worth every single penny.
Every bride, engaged couple, expecting mother, etc. NEEDS to know what Hoffer Photography has to offer.
First, I must say I hired Tony and Amy to do my maternity shoot. I chose not to use my wedding photographer again (another very well rated photographer featured on The Knot). Tony and Amy BLEW ME AWAY. I was so impressed I felt compelled to write this review here. Their artistic eye, knowledge of photography, unique style, unparalleled creativity, pleasant personalities and transparent business practices makes them IDEAL to shoot your wedding or life event.
I come from an artistically inclined family. My father is a professor of film and photography. He has published many books/texts and published for Canon. He chaired the department of Film and Media Arts at Temple University for many years. My mother is a film producer and my parents together make socially conscious documentaries for public broadcast. I myself have a working knowledge of photography, and I must say Hoffer Photography BLEW ME AWAY -- and managed to do so with a 4-day turnaround!
Tony and Amy far exceeded my expectations and my expectations were set pretty high (have you looked at their portfolio?!?!). Their artistic abilities are unparalleled. Their capture of light, silhouette and body shape is truly amazing. Their use of landscape, space and angles, is truly special.
Tony and Amy push the limits of photography and strive to capture something unique. They took our rough ideas, produced something powerful, and really managed to capture our emotions and personalities along the way. They were so easy to work with, very straightforward business people -- no surprises or dirty dealings, as is often the case with others.
We will treasure our pictures always. The whole experience was wonderful, from start to finish. I would hire Tony and Amy again, in a heartbeat, without a second thought (and plan to do so in the future). Hire Tony and Amy for your engagement, your wedding, your honeymoon/travel/adventures, your baby, your family portraits... they will exceed your expectations, I promise.
The photographs from Tony & Amy Hoffer are so fantastic, I'm nearly speechless. Their artistic style blows everyone else out of the water. As soon as I saw their website, I wanted to hire them immediately. Then we met them and knew instantly this was the team for us. We were having a non-traditional wedding, and this really played up their style.
Tony took pictures of me getting ready and Amy took pictures of my husband getting ready. They made ordinary backgrounds and objects look extraordinary. We had our first look and they really captured every emotion we had.
They were so kind with us, told us how to pose, and really made us feel comfortable. They snuck around in the background during the wedding so we barely knew they were there. The pictures that came out of this wedding are so perfect, I will only hire the Hoffers in the future. And I will only recommend them to anyone else. Just take a look through their portfolio. There's no going back after that. Thank you for making our wedding perfect.
Tony & Amy... where to even begin? We discovered their amazing talent at our friend's wedding back in June 2012. Aron and I had said to each other after seeing their wedding album: "We need to have them shoot our wedding, no matter what it takes!" Fast forward to April 2013 when Aron proposed, and that is exactly what we did. We picked our wedding date based on the Hoffer's availability, and we could NOT be happier with our photos (no surprise there!) We had a blast shooting our engagement session with them, and we were lucky enough to spend time with them outside of the shoots - what wonderful people. They are so down to earth, fun to be around, and just genuinely great people. Tony was so very helpful, especially as we got closer to the wedding, answering my (so many) questions and giving us great suggestions. He always responded to me within minutes.. which says a lot, knowing how busy they are! As I coordinated with other vendors, I would mention who our photographers were - and every single time the response was "Oh THE HOFFERS? WE LOVE THEM!!" And really, who doesn't?! The day of was such a breeze - Tony & Amy were professional yet so much fun, beautifully capturing our perfect day!
After I posted the photos, I immediately received countless texts/calls saying how blown away people were by the pictures! Their work is like nothing we've ever seen.. and to say that we recommend them is putting it very lightly!! THANK YOU TONY & AMY!! :)

The Hoffers are absolutely amazing! Amy and Tony are such wonderful people both professionally and personally. We thoroughly have enjoyed working with them through our engagement session through our wedding. Their photos are mind-blowing (check out their website- they upload photos regularly to their blog), and they are beyond personable and easy to work with. We're beyond thrilled with our experience with them, and I only wish we could have another wedding just to hang out with them again!
Amy and Tony Hoffer are amazing! They are THE photographers that you want for your wedding. Our photos are creative, stunning, and capture my husband and I perfectly. The Hoffers were amazing to work with. I am surprised that there are so few reviews of them on this site. You won't go wrong with Hoffer Photography - just check out their website if there is any doubt! www.hofferphotography.com
I can't say enough about Tony & Amy Hoffer of Hoffer Photography. From the moment we met them at our initial consultation until after our wedding, they have truly become our friends. Their talents are endless and they make even the most camera shy people feel comfortable. I can't wait until the next reason we have to hire a photographer because Hoffer Photography will be the first and only call we make. If every decision we made regarding our wedding turned out to the wrong one, hiring Hoffer Photography wouldn't apply. Other than marrying my husband, hiring Hoffer was the next best decision! I highly recommend!!
Simply breathtaking photos! We couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos from the Hoffers!
I can't say enough about Tony and Amy Hoffer! They were pleasant and easy to work with the entire time. They are absolutely ridiculously talented!! We just saw a sneak peak of our wedding photographs and they took my breath away. I can't wait to see the rest.
We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with the Hoffer's for our wedding. We had both our engagement and wedding photos taken by them and are thrilled with the results! They travelled several hours to a very special place of ours for our engagement shots and even jumped in the cold lake water to get a shot we wanted. On our wedding day they did a wonderful job capturing some very special and candid moments unbeknownst to us which meant a lot to us. They are very easy to work with, extremely talented (just check out their blog) and all around a very fun couple. We received several compliments from photographers in the family and look forward to working with them in the future.
Tony and Amy's talent is unparalleled and the caliber of their work is clearly unmatched. Anyone who takes a few minutes to peruse their portfolio or blog will become an instant fan of their work (you have been warned!). Their incredibly vibrant colors, unique vantages, interesting perspectives, and captivating backdrops will continue to beg the question "how can they possibly get any better?", yet each photo does just that. It appears that they would be incapable of such a task when their presence was barely noticed on our wedding day... they blend seamlessly into the crowd yet still manage to capture the energy and emotion of the day. They are incredibly humble and they are truly a pleasure to work with...it is easy to feed off their positive energy. On the practical end, if an email response from Tony wasn't practically instantaneous, you can be sure to get a reply within a few hours. Our wedding blog was up in two days, the online proofs were available in 2 weeks (along with a proposed wedding album) and the flash drive with every single proof was in my hands in 3 weeks. I could turn just about every single photo into a huge canvas. These two just cannot take a bad photo. When the special day is over, you will want to preserve your wedding in the most extraordinary way, and the Hoffers absolutely will not disappoint. I look forward to finding excuses to use them in the future and watching their spectacular work for many years to come.
Tony and Amy are amazing photographers. While their pictures speak volumes for their abilities, the best part was how comfortable and enjoyable they were to work with. They did their homework on the location and found the greatest places to shoot our first look and bridal party photos - and kept us relaxed and having fun so we weren't posing for every picture. During the main events they were not even noticeable yet captured the most amazing pictures that we will cherish forever. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding, or any event for that matter.
