Somewhere in the middle of the country a car is driving right now. There's two people in it with a dog that weighs more than either of them. We shot for Emily and Matt on Tuesday morning, one day before they set out to drive across the country and move Matt to California. Living the dream...

We met them to shoot at a beautiful farm here in Chester County where Emily has spent some time. What an awesome place! Here's a few of our favorites from the morning. Please enjoy!

Last Friday night we came home from Lauren & Gavin's wedding (see last blog post), charged batteries, slept and woke up to another gorgeous day with two unbelievably cool people. It was like cool-people-deja-vu. Kristen and Jon were just wonderful to work with. Jon saved the day with his clutch decision making in the midst of a tie dilemma and he and Kristen just seemed to enjoy every second of their day. We love that! Here's a few of our favorites from a beautiful Saturday in Reading and Phoenixville...

Wow, what a beautiful weekend! Lucky for us, this April didn't really bring too many showers. Instead, we spent the last weekend of the month shooting two weddings. First up is Lauren & Gavin, who got married at Talamore Country Club. These two are laid back, fun and a perfect compliment to each other. It's so great shooting for people who can just kick back and enjoy their wedding. It helps everyone else do the same. We had a great time roaming around Talamore on Friday. Here's a few favorites...

It's fast and furious blogging season over hear on the Hoffer blog. Lots of shoot, lots of weddings and lots of wonderful new people will be featured soon. Up now is Chris and Jana who we got to shoot for on Wednesday. These guys met in the hospital (working) and are getting married next summer. Chris wanted something more urban, Jana something more natural. So we shot in the city for a while then pulled a switcheroo and found the Forbidden Trail. Here's a few favorites from a beautiful afternoon... You'll see more from these two next year!

There will come a time years from now that we'll look back on our lives as wedding photographers and think fondly of the awesome places we've gone, the great people we've met and everything that we loved about this job. When that happens, I think there's a good chance that we'll remember Tiffany and Dan's wedding. It was one of those days that was just beginning-to-end awesome.

Above all we love when weddings are unique and we love when people really kick back have fun. Tiff and Dan did a first look, spent a long time with us walking around the city for portraits and then joined all their guests for their short ceremony at XIX in the Hyatt Bellevue. They didn't have a bridal party or even a formal reception. Just a sweet (and fun) cocktail party. Then we headed out with them afterwards for some dancing and drinks in the city. We loved this wedding if you can't tell. Enjoy!...

A WEDDING FROM OUR ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER CHUCK ANERINO:

I couldn't think of anyone better to photograph this special day with me than my dear friend Katie Merkle. She too values authentic people and events.  Many of her shots are featured below.

As we were sitting at dinner on Thursday, I finally thought of the word. Intoxicating. There's this feeling you get when you spend a day in New York. It's the feeling of energy, the feeling of something big happening. The feeling of the Jonas brothers being 20 feet away from you as you take your first shot of the day (true story). Here's some favorites from our shoot with Caitlin and Ed. Look for them right back here next year...
