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. -

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!! -

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 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 -

I cannot say enough good things about Amy and Tony. We originally selected them back in 2018 (!?) after looking through their online portfolio and being super impressed by the artistic quality of their photos. We purchased a package that included engagement photos, which was a great decision. The engagement shoot was a blast and the photos from it amazing, so we knew after that we were in good hands. It was awesome to be totally confident about it going into the wedding - we were just excited to see Amy and Tony again!
The actual wedding wasn't until December 2021, after being postponed due to the pandemic. We'd had several planning phone calls leading up to it, and Tony helped us plan the timeline of the day. Everything the day of went wonderfully. We purchased extra hours with the Hoffers so that they could arrive early, while we were getting ready, and stay throughout the night, and it was definitely worth it.
Tony and Amy did an incredible job of capturing poignant moments and emotions throughout the night. The photos we got are truly priceless. Looking at them the first time was like experiencing everything again but with a fresh perspective - they were able to capture things that I'd been too busy in the moment to notice.
Highly recommend! -

What can I say about Tony and Amy Hoffer… they’re the BEST photographers out there. When I saw their album at Trout Lake, I knew they were the ONES. While I didn’t end up getting married there, I began working with the Hoffers for my engagement photos, my maternity photos (Covid flipped my timeline around) and of course my wedding photos.
To say they are geniuses at their craft is an understatement. Tony and Amy bring out the absolute most out of their subjects. I had no idea what my wedding day would bring but one thing I knew for certain is that the Hoffers would deliver. I trusted them to execute with little to no direction… I knew they could bring my lakeside wedding vision to life and that they did.
My photos were magical and are a memory that will last a lifetime… and what’s more they captured my 7 month old son which is the best gift I can ever ask for…
They’re truly the best at their craft and awesome people to boot. Thanks guys so much. -

We were prepared to leave this review before even seeing the pictures, that’s how amazing Tony and Amy were. They navigated through stressed out relatives, pushy vendors, and a train wreck of a timeline effortlessly. They inhaled all of our stress and exhaled tranquility. They were flies on the wall letting us enjoy the moment, but took charge when they needed too to keep things from spinning out of control. There was a moment in the night that we’ll never forget where we found ourselves outside of the reception just hanging out with Amy and Tony as if they were two of our many friends we hadn’t seen in years just catching up.
And then three days later we saw the pictures…..amazing.

Their photos will speak for themselves, but Hoffer photography is the best in the business! Tony and Amy shot our wedding and we could not be happier! They are amazing photographers and wonderful people! They made us feel so comfortable from the first time we met them and the quality of their work is above and beyond anything we have seen before. Their entire team is extremely responsive and helped us navigate through re-planning our wedding during COVID. I recommend them to everyone I know that is getting married- you will not be disappointed! -

We recently had our engagement shoot and Amy and Tony Hoffer just made it so easy and so much fun. Our photos came out beautifully and all our friends and family are asking who did our photos because they want to book them too. I can't wait until the wedding! Our photos will be something we will keep forever and we couldn't have picked better photographers. -

There are a lot of details that go into planning a wedding, much of which you can’t really think about until you start the planning process. For me and my husband, there was at least one thing we knew without a doubt would be a part of our day – the Hoffers. Before even getting engaged we witnessed Tony and Amy Hoffer at work at a friend’s wedding and we couldn’t stop talking about them for so long after. We were blown away with not just the results of the images themselves, which were amazing, but by their pure energy and enthusiasm throughout the night. We knew that when the time came those were the type of people we wanted to surround ourselves with.
Being a photographer, Nick had pretty high standards for what he was looking for in a wedding photographer. We both agreed that while we wanted some of those key shots, we did not want the quintessential wedding photography that you see online. We wanted a unique, artistic approach to our pictures that would truly capture the two of us as a couple, which is exactly what we got!
We got the pleasure of working with Tony and Amy 4 times over the course of the last 15 months. Nick surprised me with having them capture the proposal at Grand Central Station, which truly made the day even more special. Immediately following the proposal, we were so determined to lock in the Hoffers for the wedding that we started the process of looking for venues and literally coordinated the day around when they were available. If there was one thing we weren’t willing to negotiate on, it was them!
Luckily, we found a day that worked for everything! We shot an engagement shoot with them in Tribeca, NYC that was probably one of the most fun experiences we have had together. Tony and Amy made us feel so comfortable to where we could just be ourselves. It literally felt like having two friends with you all day. I don’t think the smiles ever left our faces. We were so blown away by the results and couldn’t wait to share the pictures with our family and friends.
As an additional experience for me, I did a boudoir shoot as Nick’s wedding gift with Amy Hoffer and Lindsay Backner that was a once in a lifetime experience. It was such a memorable time for me. The confidence I felt in that moment and then in seeing the results afterwards was something both me and my husband will cherish for many years. I couldn’t thank the two of them enough for making me feel like a million bucks that day and for the beautiful images I can now look back on.
When you’re hiring vendors for a wedding, you try to work off recommendations as much as possible. After that, you’re pretty much left with online reviews, phone interviews and hoping that you have made the right decisions. When we hired Hoffer Photography we had no doubt in our minds that we made the best decision for our day. We knew that we had hired individuals who would amplify our day with their talent and positivity. We fully entrusted them to capture our most precious moments and felt completely comfortable in leaving creative liberty at their disposal. Not only were we so impressed with them that day, but our family and friends have all commented on how wonderful they both were. They seemed to be everywhere you wanted them to be, capturing each special moment, but you never really knew they were there at the same time!
We’re so thankful for these past 15 months and getting to work with the Hoffers. We can only hope that we will have more opportunities to work creatively together in the future! -

Where do we begin? From the moment We met with Tony and Amy we knew that they would be the photographers to capture not only our wedding day, but our love story! Photography is so much more than a job for the Hoffers. Their talent & passion for photography is truly unique! It’s obvious that they genuinely care about each and every couple that they work with. Tony and Amy have a gift for seeing things differently than everyone else and for taking the most incredible pictures that will leave you speechless and wanting more! They even coached us when we asked for advice on how to pose or where to look! Tony and Amy are extremely talented, very professional and so down to earth! The Hoffer squad made taking pictures so much fun and we had an absolutely blast working with them! Highly recommend them to anyone needing a photographer! -

Amy Sent on 05/02/2016Our entire wedding was planned around Hoffer Photography being there. Our first order of business when we got engaged was finding out their availability, and we booked everything else from there. Every expectation we had of Tony and Amy was far exceeded. From that very first meeting with them at their house, we knew it was the right fit. My husband didn’t understand why I was so adamant that we have the Hoffers, but after he met them, he got it. There’s definitely something to be said for enjoying your vendors as people, and Tony and Amy are great people that you’ll love to be around! On your wedding day they make you feel so comfortable and yourself, and that reflects in their product. They capture you - your expressions and emotions - in such a creative, beautiful and unique way. You can tell who we are as people in our photos. Nothing they do is cookie-cutter. Everything is catered to who you are. Hiring them was the best decision we made in our whole planning process. Not to mention we got two new friends in the deal! If you’re still not sure if they’re going to be the right photographers for you, my best advice is to just go meet them. Set up the introductory meeting, go to their house and eat delicious fresh baked cookies, and just talk to them. You’ll never look back. -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/01/2015Tony and Amy are perfection. They have such a great eye, and are so easy to work with! I can't say enough wonderful things about them. We also rented the vintage photobooth from them (kind of last minute) and it was such a fun addition to the wedding & theme. -

User1960528 Sent on 11/14/2014The Hoffers are absolutely amazing! Amy and Tony are such wonderful people both professionally and personally. We thoroughly have enjoyed working with them through our engagement session through our wedding. Their photos are mind-blowing (check out their website- they upload photos regularly to their blog), and they are beyond personable and easy to work with. We're beyond thrilled with our experience with them, and I only wish we could have another wedding just to hang out with them again! -

Jennifer Sent on 11/06/2012Tony and Amy are fantastic! They are so nice to work with and we now have the most beautiful pictures of our wedding and engagement. They traveled from PA to the Jersey Shore twice for us and were always flexible in working out dates, details, etc. We will be using them again and again. -

Jo Sent on 04/25/2012If you're thinking of getting engaged soon, book Tony and Amy NOW. No joke. They are the most taleneted photograhers ever. We are SO unbelievably lucky that they were available on our wedding day and that we had the opportunity to work with them. From the engagement session to the last shot they snapped the night of our wedding...they were the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning. They're beyond talented and extremely laid back and fun. You'll feel like friends right off the bat and nothing about shooting with them will feel stiff or rigid; it all comes naturally. And the end result will be THE MOST amazing pictures you'll ever have. As soon as the wedding was over, my husband and I were trying to think of what we can use them for next. They are, in our opinion, the best photographers in the industry. -

Emil Sent on 11/24/2009From the get go, photography was very high on our list of priorities. We didnt want "cookie cutter" wedding photography, but we wanted to find someone with the talent and artistry to match our budget; we hit the jackpot with Hoffer Photography. To say we are passionate about their work is an understatement; it adorns the walls in our home, we stalk their blog incessantly to see their new work and we tell everyone and anyone about them. Looking at our wedding photos for the first time or the 100th time elicits the same feelings of amazement and awe at how absolutely perfect the images are; Tony and Amy's photos uniquely captured us, our friends and our families in such a way that it takes us right back to the wedding day.
The technical aspect of photography is something that can be taught, but the art and talent part of being a photographer that makes that photographer stand out and rise above the rest that...that's something special that you can't teach and hands down Amy and Tony definitely have "it". We are honored to have found such genuinely kind, professional and talented people to have captured such a special day for us. We wish the Hoffer's nothing but continued success and plan to use them again and again!!! -

I’m not sure where to even begin. Megan is simply amazing. Her photographs are absolutely breathtaking.

I will forever be grateful for Megan and how she has captured our special day -
