About

Hoffer Photography | Genuinely Original Wedding Photographers

We are Hoffer Photography, a small studio started by a husband and wife team based outside Philadelphia. We’ve been shooting authentic and original photos of amazing people since 2007.

Our team consists of us, Amy & Tony Hoffer, our studio manager Lindsay Banecker, and our Associate Photographer Jim Heine. We’re friends first. We’ve shot together, traveled together, laughed and cried together (though not all at the same time). We all met through the photo world and have been working together for over a decade!

We’ve been called “some of the best wedding photographers in the country*” and our work has been featured around the world (The Guardian, HuffPost, Professional Photographer) and locally (Philadelphia Magazine, Main Line Today). Our photography is focused on intimacy and emotion with thoughtful composition and a personal experience.

Best there is!

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Hoffer Photography! From the moment we met Tony and Amy, we knew they were the perfect fit for our wedding. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel at ease, especially since we’re not the most comfortable in front of the camera. Throughout the entire process, they were incredibly accessible and responsive. Tony even hopped on a call to discuss timeline suggestions, which was super helpful. On the big day, they blended seamlessly into the background while we were getting ready, making the whole experience feel natural and relaxed. When it came time for our portraits, they brought such a fun and light-hearted energy that we actually enjoyed the process! They have a remarkable talent for capturing those candid, intimate moments that we’ll cherish forever. The way they documented the joy on the dance floor was just magical—everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they were! And let’s not forget the photo booth! Our guests had a blast, and the memories created there were priceless. To top it all off, our wedding photos were delivered in record time, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only skilled but also genuinely care about making your day special, look no further than Hoffer Photography. Highly recommend!

I wish I could give 10 stars

Amy and Tony are the best of the best. My husband and I knew from the first day of meeting them that they were the perfect vendor for us--so genuine, kind, and easy to work with. And GREAT at what they do! Our photos captured our love and our day so perfectly, and we felt so comfortable with them and in front of the camera! We got our full album of photos back this week, which is SUPER quick for a wedding that happened end of March, and we probably have looked at each photo at least fifty times. Just so obsessed with how they got what we hoped for, even better than what we imagined. We would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Perfectly Captured our Wedding

Words cannot even describe how grateful we are that we hired Jim from Hoffer Photography to capture our fall wedding. From the initial steps all the way to the end, he was amazing and his work is fantastic. So many of our friends and family rave about our wedding photos. We're so in love with them, Jim did an amazing job, we cannot recommend him enough! Hire Jim for your wedding, you won't regret it!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

When I say that my wedding day would have not been the same without Amy and Tony I mean it! They were such a delight to work with, any request I had they followed and would be “the bad guy” for us. They were always fast with their replies and seemed just as excited as us for the day. They were so personable and it made us feel so comfortable (especially since my husband doesn’t usually like to take photos). I loved watching them work together as well, they are truly a perfect duo♥️ and the photos I have seen so far are so stunning, I can’t wait to see the rest.

Incredible People and Experience!

During our first meeting with Tony and Amy, it was obvious how passionate they are for their work, and we knew they had to be our wedding photographers. Easily one of the best decisions we ever made. Both Tony and Amy possess a unique ability to put others at ease. Even during one of our most intimate moments, the first look, my husband and I always felt comfortable with their presence. Tony and Amy’s ability to put others at ease is only rivaled by their ability to capture a genuine moment. It is absolutely remarkable how talented they are. Within days, they sent us a preview on their blog, and delivered our whole gallery within a few weeks. We were blown away with the results.
No words can describe how beautifully the pictures turned out. However, it is Tony and Amy’s attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond that separate them from all others. For example, Tony’s pre-first look checklist saved me from walking out without my earrings on. Amy similarly saved the day when she swiftly resewed on a button to a groomsman’s tux jacket. There is nothing these two can’t do!

The best of the best!

I’m not sure where to even begin. Megan is simply amazing. Her photographs are absolutely breathtaking. She is super professional and made both our engagement and wedding photos such a smooth and FUN process. She felt like family and made us feel right at home. I will forever be grateful for Megan and how she has captured our special day

Unmatched talent and amazing humans

If you are reading this, stop right now and book the Hoffers!

Okay, now you can finish reading about the most talented and most amazing humans.

Tony and Amy came highly recommended to us shortly after our engagement, before we even began our search for photographers. Photography was incredibly important to us and we knew we wanted photographers who could capture our day in a unique, authentic, artistic, non-traditional way. After reviewing the Hoffer's blog and portfolio, we were already sold. Their images exceeded anything we could have ever envisioned painting stories in such a unique way.

Then we had the pleasure of meeting Tony and Amy, and from that moment, they became our forever friends. They are people you simply don't let go of. We left our meeting feeling like Tony and Amy had been friends of ours for years. They were so personable, natural, and their kindness, energy, excitement, and investment in getting to know us as people, understanding our vision, and learning our story, sealed the deal. We booked them immediately; we couldn't risk losing the opportunity to work with them.

In all honesty, we are not big fans of being in front of the camera. We often feel uncomfortable, slightly awkward, and unnatural, even though we've mastered the art of the selfie. Originally, we weren't planning to do engagement photos, but after meeting Tony and Amy, we quickly changed our minds, and we couldn't be more thankful that we did.

Tony and Amy suggested the most beautiful and perfect location for our engagement shoot. They made us feel comfortable, and like ourselves. Most importantly, they spent quality time with us—four hours of time, to be exact. We never felt rushed, and throughout the entire session, we felt like their top priority. It was like walking around a huge park with a group of friends, laughing, and taking such unique and creative pictures. Tony even climbed a tree to capture a picture of us that replicated one we loved from their portfolio.

Then came the first of many times Tony and Amy left us speechless. They sent us our engagement photos, and they were nothing short of perfection. They were pure, they were natural, and they were us. They captured our vision in EVERY. SINGLE. WAY. We went from not enjoying being in front of the camera to eagerly looking forward to our wedding day, knowing that Tony and Amy would be there to work their magic once again.

On our wedding day, Tony and Amy were simply incredible. They were able to capture moments that we didn’t even know existed and at times you didn’t even realize they were taking photos. They were the best ‘flies on the wall’ to capture our day in the most organic way. They stood in the freezing and pouring rain with us, laughed with us when we shot champagne right at them, their cameras (and in Tony’s eye) instead of to the side of them, and placed their bodies in the most awkward and uncomfortable positions just to capture the uniqueness of our day in the most artistic way. Their ability to tell our wedding story through their lens was nothing short of magical! Every glance, every simile, captured perfectly.
They were with us from the early morning excitement as we got ready, to the heartfelt ceremony, the joyous celebration, and the romantic moments shared between ourselves and with our loved ones. Their presence was calming and reassuring, and their creativity knows no bounds. The way they captured not just images, but emotions and memories, was awe-inspiring.
Then there is the turnaround time of our images that was astonishingly quick. We received our sneak peak just a few days after the wedding which was more than a little preview and included 70 breathtaking photos! The rest of our gallery arrived just 2 weeks later. Every image is absolutely perfect!

If you are looking for photographers who have an unwavering talent, are whole-heartedly invested in what they do, and genuinely wonderful and kind human beings, Tony and Amy are the ones to choose. They're not just photographers; they're friends who will make your special moments even more memorable. Book them now, and you'll see what we mean - they are simply the best and you won’t regret it!

The Best Decision!

We could not be more happy that we chose Hoffer Photography to capture our once in a lifetime wedding day memories. My husband and I are both photographers, as a matter of fact, we were both mentored by Tony and Amy, separately, long before we even met each other. These wonderful and talented people have had a huge impact on our photography, our businesses, and our lives long before we hired them to photograph our wedding. Originally we wanted them to come to our wedding as guests, but after looking at other photographers from all around the country, we ended up coming to the conclusion that we wouldn’t be happy with anyone BUT them photographing our wedding.

On the wedding day, Tony was with me for getting ready, and I’m not entirely sure how a 6’7” tall man could go unnoticed most of the time. My only theory is that he can actually turn invisible. The biggest compliment that I can give is that I was able to be fully present with the people I love and the photos reflect that feeling completely. Amy was with my husband and she captured some truly beautiful layered compositions of the whole family at his parents’ house and the chaos of a house filled with love. Our portraits are stunning and capture the genuine love we have for each other as well as creative shots that can only come from the mind of Tony Hoffer.

I am so happy we have these photos to relive the best day of my life forever. My only regret is that we didn’t get to have Tony and Amy *IN* more of the photos as friends

Truly a Dream

Quite possibly the only things better than the photos Amy and Tony take, are Amy and Tony themselves. It’s unbelievable how they both manage to capture every single moment throughout the day, while also adding an incredible amount of help, positivity, and energy into it as well. They are the perfect blend of being unnoticeable when the time calls for it, peace when some wedding day stress ensues and directness when large family photos need organization and focus. Of course, we’re overjoyed with the photos (which were sent back in just 19 days with a preview in only 3 days!!), but we’re even more happy that Amy and Tony were part of the day themselves.
It’s apparent in the results of their work how much they truly love their jobs, but seeing their smiles all day while photographing proves it as well. Amy’s was the first and largest smile I saw the moment I stepped off the trolley at the church as she was shooting photos of me and the girls. She was just as excited as the rest of us and it instantly brought another sense of comfort, allowing me to be relaxed and confident. Tony, was equally as happy and calm, constantly reminding me we were okay on time throughout the day! Thank you both so much. We have looked at our photos almost every day since our wedding over a month ago now and will for the rest of our lives. We’ve received endless compliments from family and friends and would recommend your services in a heart beat. Their joy and professionalism made our day that much happier and smooth sailing, if you’ve read this far in my review what are you waiting for!? Book them !!
