Kellie & J.C.’s Underwater engagement session

Whenever we meet clients, there’s one thing we almost always say: “We’re up for ANYTHING. We’d get bored shooting the same things over and over again. So, when we started scheduling Kellie & J.C.’s session, we thought that doing a shoot IN the water would be pretty awesome… and it was. It’s so cool to...

Vita tänder - What a lovely couple!
They are so comfortable with one another!
I honestly can’t pick a favorite, but I’m stunned with the wonderful e-ring. Congratulations to Kellie & J.C.
Hoffer rocks! Cheers!

Travis Williams - OMG… it doesn’t hurt that you had the best looking couple EVER ! what a dream.. and what a shoot. Those underwater housings are great… my dad and I are Scuba Divers – and he was doing a ton of underwater photography in the 90′s with those housings and film camera’s. big up’s to you guys.. you devoured this shoot, then spit it out and devoured it again: Two times Devoured ! NICE

Paul Lender - Glad to see you worked in a Baywatch reference!

Nice shots!

September 2, 2010 - 11:03 am

Rick Koetter - Nice work Hoffers! It’s refreshing to see engagement pics as “abnormal” as these. The 13th image down is my favorite of this set (kissing in the deep). I love the silky water on the lower half of that shot. Lovely.

Katie & Ivins at Longwood Gardens

Yesterday was the first time in a few years that we shot 2 sessions in the same day. We had a blast at both and even got to take a little nap in between! If you missed it, here’s yesterday’s post from with the Young family. Last night we headed back out to shoot for...

Dave Barnum - Leaf + Ring = Art. It’s almost like an oil based painting. Good job.

Did you use your 100 2.8 for that? I have a hard time with Macros on my 5DII I think because there’s no native magnification factor on the body and I can’t get ‘as close’ to the subject as with other cameras.

carrie - Gorgeous work Hoffers! I love the frame :)

August 28, 2010 - 4:47 pm

Thanks for my daily fix.

August 27, 2010 - 11:15 am

Kenna - Love the frame ones. great idea!

Liz & Andrew in Elizabethtown

I told Liz on the phone that I love shooting when there’s scattered thunderstorms. For the first 30 minutes of their engagement session, I was looking pretty foolish. We were in the ‘dark red’ portion of the radar map. Then it cleared up and this happened… The sky was pink!

August 19, 2010 - 4:16 pm

Chris S - Beautiful! The second I saw Elizabethtown I was so excited. Met my hubby of almost 9 years when we were in college there. :-) Thinking of doing something similar when we hit 10 years. Love it!

liz & andrew - Andrew just called me and all he could say was, “They’re up and there’s a sweet Cherry Alley picture!” :-) Waiting through that thunderstorm was totally worth it, the pictures could not be more beautiful! Thank you so much Tony and Amy!

Jill & Jim at Citizen’s Bank Park

Shot these last night with Jill & Jim… Awesome people. Jill swears she thought of the ballpark idea before we shot there last time… We’ll give her the benefit of the doubt I guess :) We haven’t posted in a while, so very little talking from me today. Just enough to say A) Thanks to...

Piero Campilii - hehe! Great one! Lens selection keeps me coming back to this blog!
Love those with babylens maybe? …then contrast, tone, light, angles and everything is in its right place or at least as every contemporary photographer would like ‘em to be! An amazing work once again!

July 22, 2010 - 1:34 am

Gene Lee - Awesome photography as always! Love the sliver of sharp focus leading to Jill & Jim in the 7th photo (tilt-shift bats a home run). Love the ring shot even if it is a ripoff, well done!

Rebecca & Jesse | Ridley & Media

Rebecca & Jesse almost didn’t get an engagement session. She said they were bad in front of the camera… They lied. We shot these Wednesday at Ridley Creek State park and in Media. There’s nothing more we like than hanging out with people and getting more and more excited to work with them again… Oh,...
