Katie & Matt | Wedding in Pittsburgh

After a wonderful Thanksgiving (and a surprisingly small amount of overindulgence), Amy and I headed out to Pittsburgh on Friday for our first ever wedding in the ‘Burgh. We’ve actually been to Pittsburgh a few times in the last year or so, but hadn’t really experienced much. So, here’s my lightning review: I really like...

Carrie - Tony- when you shot our wedding in Oct. 2007 Matt and Katie knew that they wanted you to be their photographer at their wedding. At that time theyh didn’t have a date, venue, or her dress but they fell in love with you and Amy. I feel blessed that you allowed us to be a part of your beginning and I am so glad that you have found so much success and prosperity in what you love to do. Congrats on Amy joining your team!

Henry - Hey tony, I’m curious as to where you setup the strobes for the reception shots? or is the flash on camera? Thanks!

Stephanie Osborne - What a beautiful set! I love the bridal formals ‘up’ the aisle and especially the fish eye dancing shot from above. I never think to use my own lens this way!

The Turnquists | Family Session at Valley Forge

Had a cool experience earlier this week as I got to shoot for a former coworker. Always great to see people from back when I had a ‘real’ job. It makes me miss having coworkers a little bit… but then again I’m working on a couch right now, so not too much :). Anyway, I...

Happy Thanksgiving Weirdos

I just wanted to write a quick note on (early) Thanksgiving morning. If you’re reading this on Thanksgiving, then you’re as obsessive as I am… Anyway, I just wanted to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all my blog-stalkers, even as some of you live in countries that have no idea what Thanksgiving is. Of...

Brittany & David | Wedding in Lancaster

On Friday, I was in Lancaster on another gorgeous November day. Brittany & David got married at Riverdale Manor, somewhere that I’m becoming quite familiar with. It was a phenomenal day in every way possible. Great weather, great clients, great location. Just one of those days that makes you want to shoot forever. These guys...

Colleen - My daughter was the flower girl in Brittany and David’s wedding. These pictures are amazing! They look like ads in a magazine! Great job!

Tracy - Beautiful pictures,great artistic quality! Thanks for capturing these memory making moments for my daughter..

Natalie - My sister was suppose to be one of Brittany’s brides maids, but couldn’t due to the fact that she is in Spain. So she was just thrilled over the pictures, but a little envious that she couldn’t be there.

mike diamond - great pictures, the one of the david standing on the porch and brit standing off the porch, it was taken in lancaster, was great. great job…great wedding….

Nicole - These pictures made me even more excited for our big day. You did an excellent job again. I love the tree shots and the sparkler shot (especially since it will be 4th of July time). I actually got chills as I scrolled down and saw that shot of the venue. :) Great Job!

Sam Hassas - Always a pleasure my friend. :)

Lindsay - I second the praise of the tux selection… just amazing. I couldn’t stop looking at the details.

Excellent parody as well.

November 23, 2009 - 2:03 pm

Kevin Sherman - FANTASTIC as always. Sometimes I hate dropping by your blog! :-)

Also, the tuxes that the guys wore are freaking awesome! Very classy.

Joel - Great shots Thoff (and Shassas).
I think you should consider a move to San Jose, if only to make the dream a reality. Couldn’t go wrong with a Hoffer/Hassas Partnership (or Hassas/Hoffer).

Jenn & Steve | Engagement in Princeton

I had been to Princeton quite a few times in college, but hadn’t been back for a while until the other day. I love that town, I can’t believe it was my first time shooting there. Jenn and Steve hooked up with me for the day and although I can’t shoot their wedding, we accomplished...
