What is the story behind Hoffer Photography?

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.

Rockstar Photographers

Choosing our photographer was one of our biggest priorities. I come from a family of wedding photographers and spent years shooting weddings myself, so I knew exactly how much the photography would matter to me and I could not be happier that we chose Tony and Amy.

Our celebration was unconventional, a little weird, and completely us, and Tony and Amy were 100% on board with all of it. They made everyone feel comfortable, embraced every strange idea we threw at them, and handled every spur of the moment curveball like absolute pros. At one point I went from a dimly lit room to running outside into a full sun backyard with basically no warning, and they kept up with the change of plans and drastic change in lighting without missing a beat.

Our ceremony was in a dark movie theater with crazy ambient light being projected onto us, which is a technically challenging situation to photograph, and they absolutely nailed it. During our couples portraits, we really only took a short walk around the area, but somehow Tony and Amy turned it into so many completely different, creative photos.

What I love most, though, is how well they understood us. They paid attention to who we are as a couple and captured the entire vibe of the day perfectly. The creative portraits are incredible, but so are the candids. There are so many photographs of our friends and family genuinely laughing, interacting, and enjoying themselves. We got to see all these little moments happening around us that we never could have experienced ourselves.

After years of photographing weddings, there was something I didn't fully understand until I was on the other side of the camera: wedding photos aren't just keepsakes. The day happens so quickly, and there is so much going on around you that you can't possibly take it all in. The photographs actually become part of how you form the memory of what happened. I'm incredibly grateful that these are the photographs we get to remember ours through.

On top of everything else, Tony and Amy went above and beyond, had our blog post up incredibly quickly, and delivered our entire gallery in less than a month.

I genuinely don't think we could have chosen better photographers. Tony and Amy captured not just what our celebration looked like, but what it actually felt like. The Hoffers are absolute rockstars!

Absolutely amazing to work with!

I got married on May 2nd, 2026 and Amy and Tony were absolutely amazing to work with! I chose them originally because they shot my sister's wedding in 2023! We had a perfect day and Tony and Amy made sure we got the best clouds in our pictures! (Even my flower girl made the clouds move for a good picture!) I highly recommend them to anyone! They captured everything we loved about our wedding!

Amazing photos, even better people

My wife and I booked Tony and Amy for our wedding on April 10th at Appleford Estate. On 5/2/2026 we received the finished product of our photos, but our online gallery was available before then.

We met Amy and Tony a few times over Zoom, and went out with them once to dinner so that we could get to know them better and feel more comfortable with them once the day came. From the first Zoom meeting it was clear that they are both very warm, welcoming, and caring people, I think we booked them that night. The meetings after were to talk more about poses, and timelines, but also to chat. My wife and I greatly enjoyed every conversation leading up to the wedding. They made us feel very comfortable. They also suggested more time before the wedding for first look photos and we are really glad that we followed their timeline expertise because they were spot on.

On the day of the wedding they were incredible. Not only did the photos come out better than we had expected, but almost every single guest complimented them. Everyone remarked either how professional they were, how nice they were, or how invisible they were. I don't know how Tony being well over 6' managed to stay invisible, but the guests all noted that they barely noticed the photographers all night unless it was for them to be helpful.

I really can't say enough about Amy and Tony. If you like their galleries then book them, you won't regret it.

Highly recommend Tony & Amy!

We were blown away by Tony and Amy- we highly recommend Hoffer Photograpy! From our very first zoom call, Tony and Amy made us feel so comfortable and answered all of our questions. Day-of, they were amazing!! They created such a calm and easy going atmosphere; we felt relaxed. They picked out great spots for our first look in Lambertville, NJ, and coordinated our group photos with bridal party and family seamlessly.

And the photos themselves- we are obsessed!! They captured so many of the special moments of our day, and we love all the candids. They really feel like us. All of our friends and family loved the photos as well; my mom said it seemed like we had five photographers there, capturing the day.

We highly recommend Hoffer Photograpy for any special occasion!

Book Amy and Tony!

From start to finish, Tony and Amy were such a breeze to work with. They were extremely helpful throughout the planning process. One of our biggest goals was to be able to truly be present and enjoy our day, and Tony and Amy made sure of this. Because of their expertise and professionalism, we were able to trust their ideas without having to plan every photo opportunity. Our wedding photos are incredible. Captured every moment and emotion. The pictures are both traditional and unique. We are so impressed with the turn around time. Having Hoffer Photography at our wedding was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.

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.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
