Stoffer Photography

I'm married to John. They grew up on the same block, went on a date to the corner ice cream shoppe in fifth grade, went to prom together, and married on September 5, 2010. There's no fancy "photographic awakening" story here. (There are no "for as long as I can remembers" in this case.) In high school and college, we studied photography — learned in the darkroom, became purists, realized that was a pipe dream, and got digital cameras. We started photographing weddings together in 2008 and never expected to fall in love with it so quickly. Seeing each distinct and honest moment and preserving it the way we view it has a surprisingly addictive quality to it. It's actually rather lovely. Sunny mornings in our home, wonderful music, family, Chicago, coffee, bike trips, lengthy lunches on the porch, California, Jesus, and garage sales are all things we like. And we'd be delighted to hear from you.
