Blaire + Brian | Wedding

That photo above was one of the incredible sights from Saturday’s wedding in Philadelphia. Blaire + Brian got married at The DownTown Club by Independence Hall. It was such a cool spot. We were lucky to just barely beat the rain for photos, and by the time we got upstairs for the ceremony, we looked...

Valerie - Love the rings on the bronze hand. Wow – brutal cake smashing – great! Oh and I saw that exact rainbow on Saturday when I was driving home from King of Prussia in the pouring rain and then the gleaming sun! It WAS a spectacular rainbow.

Jilian + Don | Engagement

Thursday night I was out at the Jenkins Arboretum in Wayne, PA for Jillian + Don’s engagement session. It’s a cool place and we got a private tour too… It was my first time shooting someone as tall as me. I restricted myself to one ‘height difference’ shot, which you see above. Enjoy…

Erin + Dave | Wedding

On Sunday, Amy and I were in Media, PA for Erin and Dave’s wedding at the Old Mill. A couple of things struck me about that place. I had shot there before, but only on the outside. The inside was BEAUTIFUL. I really loved it. Not to mention that nearby they had a great (if...

Kathy - These are such fabulous pictures…maybe not even a good enough word for them. You are really a talented photographer in capturing some really special moments that Erin, Dave, their family, and friends will treasure. I love your blog comments also. Nice touch.

August 28, 2009 - 7:04 pm

Lisa - These pictures are by far the BEST wedding shots I’ve ever seen!!!! Let’s not forget…..three of those guys are my nephews! The wedding was a blast, too!!

August 28, 2009 - 1:48 pm

Hillary - I love the first bamboo shot! It’s totally LOST–that’s exactly what I thought when I saw it. Best show on TV! Plus, the guy all the way on the right looks a little like Sayid. Haha.

August 28, 2009 - 1:33 pm

Staci - Absolutely FAB! Love this one. One of my favorites! Should I bust out a good old Saturday night liner…SUPER FAN! (and yes, I’m doing the pose). :-)

August 26, 2009 - 9:48 am

Emil - I have to say this is one of my favorite weddings you have shot. The entire set is just ridiculously amazing!

And I second being antsy for January 2010! C’mon Season 6!!

Leslie - If my current dissertation idea falls through, I might write a dissertation about the comments you get on your blog.

August 26, 2009 - 9:16 am

Tony Hoffer - Hahaha, thanks Amber! It’s fixed now :)

August 26, 2009 - 9:13 am

Amber - I know your more of a sports guy than a music one but that instrument is known as the BASS. :) But the pictures are amazing and I am so excited to see what you capture at our wedding!!

August 26, 2009 - 9:10 am

Travis Williams - with my hands in the air and blogstalking like I just didn’t care – oh man…. I care to blogstalk you always… another just great one ! you’re like Michael Jordan. Soon your “great” will be hard to define because your “great” will become your “normal” – remember when you’d say … “oh Jordan only scored 35 points – that’s normal” – you’re the new Jordan ! This is Great… but it’s pretty damn normal for you! Love this! BAMBOO works – and Erin and David are GORGEOUS together! – lotsa love from Tucson, AZ

Lindsay - Love the bamboo. Already antsy for Jan 2010… bring it on, season six!

Ben + Lauren | Wedding

All week long the weather looked incredibly daunting for Saturday’s wedding. Nothing changed and they were calling for some crazy storms at right about the time for Ben + Lauren’s outdoor ceremony. They gambled and went for it, and despite some ungodly humidity, it went off without a hitch. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know...

Nancy Martin - How crazy is this. Tony-you did Eric & Maria’s wedding 8/14, and I was looking at their photo’s. Then I see Ben & Lauren’s photos, only to see while looking a one in particular, that Ben’s dad & I worked together at Garden Spot High School, where we both retired from. Tony you sure do get around and every set of photos I look at get even more amazing than the last. If Phil Witman reads this, then here is a shout out from Nancy Martin!!!

George Natis - The last one is out of this world. Outrageous!

August 24, 2009 - 11:43 pm

Bernard - Fabulous photos! Ben & Lauren is such a fun couple, you really captured who they are and their high-spirited energy.

August 24, 2009 - 6:23 pm

Stephanie Osborne - I really like the formals shot on the bridge. That ring bearer is adorable but the processing enhances the photo into something just lovely. That ring shot is stunning, the water coupled with the different texture of the grate is so nice. Its funny the fog shot remind me a little of a UFO jk. Made for a great photo though huh? Great set, looked like a fun couple!

August 24, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Lindsay - The first B/W is my favorite. Great ring shot as well. And the cake toppers… I had just stumbled onto those on Etsy a few weeks ago and thought, “Those are so cool!”

August 24, 2009 - 12:17 pm

Travis Williams - bad weather – no problem. fog – no problem. this is another great one from the Hoffer ! it’s another treat to see this kinda consistancy. Super fun…. I love how there doesn’t seem to be any drop in quality no matter what you are doing.

rock on man.
