Kara & Kenny in Olde City

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:52:53 +0000

Earlier this week we met up with Kara and Kenny in Olde City. We hung out at a bar, took a walk around Olde City and then met up with their dogs by the Art Museum. It was a pretty complete tour of Philly. We loved shooting for them. In the next year Kara will be a bride and a maid of honor of ours… So you’ll see plenty of her.

Here’s a few favorites from Tuesday!

Ryan and Amy come to Pennsylvania

Tony Hoffer — Mon, 07 May 2012 13:46:20 +0000

One of our travels this summer will be out to beautiful Spokane, WA to shoot Amy and Ryan’s wedding. We’ve sort of known these guys for a little while through the online wedding photography world since they run Britton Photography back at home. Last week, they made the journey out to PA to visit and shoot their engagement photos. They like nature and trees, so we found them some. The leafy green (non pine tree) variety that Pennsylvania does so well. Here’s a few of our favorites…

Kathryn & Daniel in Atlanta

Tony Hoffer — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:17:03 +0000

Our second stop last week was in the great state of Georgia. It was our first time shooting there and Tony’s first time in Atlanta. Perhaps as important is that it was our first time at FLIP Burger, although certainly not our last. Daniel and Kathryn skyped with us a while back and we cannot wait to shoot their wedding next year in Atlanta. For their engagement shoot, we wandered around their favorite brewery and then a few spots around town. A huge thanks to them for their willingness to get soaked for our last few shots. I think it was worth it! Here’s a few of our favorites… as always, kind comments are encouraged to tell Daniel and Kathryn how well we think they dress…

Barbara & Bryan in Durham, NC

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:12:39 +0000

This week we found ourselves on a quick whirlwind trip through North Carolina, Georgia and back home. For a two-ish day trip it was pretty incredible how much we saw and (more importantly) how much we ate. In North Carolina, we met up with Barbara and Bryan. We got to see much more of Durham than we did a few years ago for our workshop and we shot at an incredible golf course in Chapel Hill. We loved this shoot and the time we had with Barbara and Bryan… the fried green tomatoes, BBQ and pickles were pretty good too…

Theresa & Ray in NYC

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:01:54 +0000

I don’t like to brag, but we probably deserve an award: 14 blog posts in 15 days (well, weekdays). You’re welcome earth!

Earlier this week we made the trek up to NYC to shoot for Ray and Theresa. Ray works for a great company that has several avenues to raise money for HIV/Aids patients and we got to shoot for a while in their bookstore. Then we took the short cab ride to the Brooklyn Bridge and watched Theresa tough it out with her heels on a huge bridge. We had great weather and great light. When all was said and done, we had some great burgers too. Enjoy!…

Mel & Tim in Old City

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:30:46 +0000

One of our favorite things to do when we shoot is wander. We like finding a place and going in without a plan. Mel and Tim wanted to head down to Old City with only a very rough outline of what their shoot would look like, which was quite perfect for us. It took us about 20 seconds for us to realize that this shoot would be a piece of cake. Mel has a beautiful smile, Tim has an infectious laugh. Sometimes it’s a pretty easy job. Here’s a few of our favorites from Monday…

Lori & Eric | Engagement in San Diego

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:10:39 +0000

On our last day in the sunshine state, we stayed in San Diego for Lori and Eric’s engagement session. These guys are straight up cool. There’s nothing better for us than shooting for people who know and love our work. Seriously. It’s so great to be able to show up and just have fun and do whatever we want. Within 10 minutes of starting we were already making poor Lori climb, straddle and lay inside trees. Just a great shoot to end a great trip. Here’s a few of our favorites…

Cat & Steve in San Diego

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:08:51 +0000

After a fun weekend in L.A., we headed down the 5 (that’s California lingo for driving on a highway) to San Diego for a few days. On Monday, we met up with Cat & Steve in Ocean Beach. Great place. Lots of character. It’s so funny for us to be able to drive to a gorgeous place, pull practically right up to the sand, park for free, and not pay for beach tags… Oh, not to mention that the beaches look like this…

Lauren & Phil at Mount Vernon

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 12:48:37 +0000

On Tuesday we headed down to Virginia to shoot for Lauren & Phil, who are getting married later this year. I dare you to look through these and not smile. I don’t think we’ve ever shot for two people as goofy or as good at making each other laugh. I guess inappropriate jokes about George Washington will do that… and there were plenty of them. Here’s a few of our favorite photos from Mount Vernon…

Lauren & Matt in their new home

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:07:08 +0000

When we meet with our clients, we almost always tell them that we want them to choose where to have their engagement session. It’s much more fun for everyone that way. We like doing new and different things and we really like when things are personal for the people we’re shooting for… which is why we’ve been excited to shoot for Lauren and Matt for a really long time. When we first met (well over a year ago) they mentioned that their plan was to buy a house and wanted to shoot in the house while it was still empty. Such a cool idea. And it turned out to be a ton of fun, mostly because we didn’t really have to go outside in the cold at all! Here’s a few of our favorites…
