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…

Jill & Craig at the bowling alley

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:01:41 +0000

We get around. And we like it that way. We’ve shot engagement photos in parks, museums, monuments, broken down factories, condemned houses, kitchens, baseball stadiums and about a million other places. But we’ve never shot in a bowling alley… and there’s never been a bowling alley as cool as Lucky Strike in Philly.

Jill and Craig are getting married next year and have quite a history with the sport of bowling. Well, at the very least they really like doing it. It was actually a pretty awesome place to shoot, kind of like Jill and Craig… awesome.

(Also, you should be proud of me for talking about bowling and making no references to Kingpin or the Big Lebowski. I would never munson myself like that.)

Michelle & Kevin in Northeast Philly

Tony Hoffer — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:19:52 +0000

We met Michelle in Kevin in a place where we’ve been a million times, but never actually stopped to look around: Northeast Philly. New places are always the best! There’s nothing like putting a fresh pair of eyes on something. These guys are getting married next May. Some people are just great together in front of a camera… Kevin and Michelle are. We like them because they love food as much as we do (and because they’re lawyers so we’re contractually obligated to). Thanks guys, we had a great time!

Amelia & Chris in Philadelphia

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:57:40 +0000

Last night we met Amelia and Chris in Philadelphia. It was a cloudy day. We were shooting around town for a while and I was setting up a shot. Amy looked up and said ‘look at that’. All of the sudden there was a bright red sunset and we were running for the top of the parking garage. We made it up in time (you’ll see those below). A sunset like that is pretty hard to top… until you see a garage door with a batman logo on it.

Megan & Ryan in Millersville

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:26:13 +0000

This week we had the pleasure of heading to Lancaster to shoot for Megan and Ryan at Millersville. We love these guys and can’t wait to shoot for them more this fall. We saw them at Stacy and Mike’s wedding a few months ago when Megan tore up the entire dance floor. Should make for some good times. This week, we even got to trespass for a while… I’m just not going to say where…

A Workshop-y Engagement Session with Ashley & Drew

Tony Hoffer — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:14:24 +0000

A few times a year, I (Tony) get the opportunity to teach some small 1-on-1 sessions for other photographers. On Friday Jeremy came in and spent the day here in good ole Downingtown. We put a call out for some volunteers and Ashley & Drew stepped up for us. Here’s some of the photos from the shooting portion of our mini-workshop on Friday… Enjoy!

Jess and Geoff Part 2 in West Chester

Tony Hoffer — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:50:29 +0000

If you’re a regular blog-stalker, you saw these guys last week. We shot part one of their engagement session in Manayunk last week and met up again this week for part 2 in West Chester. Jess wanted Christmas lights and Christmas light she got! Enjoy!…

Alisha and Rob, frozen at Penn’s Landing

Tony Hoffer — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 16:04:15 +0000

328 years ago Wiliam Penn landing in Philadelphia. I guarantee he wasn’t this cold. We showed up an found Alisha and Rob in 25 degree weather with what felt like 80mph winds…. in other words, it was COLD! Alisha was wearing sweatpants and changing in and out for each photo. We couldn’t believe how awesome these guys were to shoot for. They were so game for whatever we wanted to do, never said a word about how cold they were and had a ton of fun!

Oh, and I (Tony) got to go ice skating while shooting :)… Enjoy!

I’m pretty convinced that this is the best shot Amy has ever taken. I really love this…

Jess and Geoff Part 1 (Manayunk)

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 15:14:18 +0000

Last night we met Jess, Geoff and their little guy Luis in Manayunk. We had fun, except for the pain that we caused Luis by making him stay out in the cold! Sorry little guy! You’ll like us someday we hope :)

So, this is part 1 of a 2-part engagement session. We’re going back out with these guys next week. Here’s a little teaser for now. Enjoy!

Tiffany, John and Rocco | Triple Threat Engagement

Tony Hoffer — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 15:01:49 +0000

Last night was a first for us. We shot the first half of Tiffany & John’s engagement session with their 8 year old bundle-of-energy Rocco. It was pretty cool for us to basically do two types of shoots at the same time. Then, once Rocco left, the kissing started…

Next week is Thanksgiving week. We have a great announcement coming for this year’s Shoot Me for FREE! contest, so keep checking in. Enjoy these and have a great weekend blog-stalkers!
