Putting it behind me

I would like to thank everyone who has followed my blog. I know I have not had much to say in quite some time and I apologize. I have been dealing with some serious health problems and I have decided to put David B. Hoffman photography on a back shelf for a while. It's hard to make such a decision when I love photography and specifically photographing weddings as much as i do. I love all the couples I have worked with and I thank all of you for inviting me to experience such a wonderful part of your lives with you.

This marks a transition for this blog. I don't plan to stop blogging, but to instead use this as a place to share my personal photographs and experiences. Call it photo therapy.

If you are a prior customer your images will still be archived.

Thanks again to everyone for your support and understanding. I look forward to sharing many of my images in the coming years and intend on rebuilding my business in the future when I am feeling more up too the task. -David

Some New Stuff

Haven't forgotten to blog... Just haven't had time.

I've been really busy lately. I have all kinds of images to blog. This image is just one of many more to come. Hope everyone is having a great summer. :)

Tori & Dustin Engagement Session...

I feel so blessed to get to photograph this couple. They are so open to my experimenting and I think it really paid off. We went a little long on the session even by my standards. At one point during the session Tori was really feeling the energy and excitement caused by really great light and she was saying "this place rocks!".








See I told you it was totally Gap ad... :)


Look at those mosquitoes, the things we endure for great images...




Love you guys. Your wedding is going to be so awesome.

06.21.08 Erica & Brian ...

What an awesome pair of people. I just can't say enough. This wedding was a lot of fun. Brian & Erica are such laid back people it made the event a low stress day for the family & me. Everyone was having fun and the weather was perfect. I travelled all the way to Marshall, Mn. and was assited by Matt. We found a nice band shell to shoot in. And these two have such a classic style that it reminded me of the wedding portraits of the 1940's.














Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your wedding. And Congrats Brian & Erica. Don't forget to "Smile Big". :)

Dwellings At Last...

Ok so I'm finally moved.Or at least my stuff is all in boxes on the floor of the new place. Just so you know I don't have total internet access yet, only with my pda phone right now so I won't check email for a couple of days.

So I totally underestimated how much it was going to take to move. Without the help the of my friend Katie & some wonderful guys from my church I might still be working on it next week. I feel so blessed to have people in my life that are willing to help. I've never been good at asking for that whole help thing. I guess I should get over it. Anyway.

Thanks to: Katie, Carl, Austin, Scott (and his sons), Jeff, & Brian. I really feel blessed by your help.

Habitation Relocation....

Yep, I'm moving to the other side of town. Moving can be so stressful. Especially if you wait till the day before you move to sign a lease like me. My phone number will stay the same and all mail can still be sent to the post office box listed on my website.

Thank you to everyone that reads my blog on a regular basis. It's nice to see that your out there. I would love to meet some of you. Leave a comment, don't be shy. If you have questions or just want to say hi. You can never have to many friends. If you want, you can befriend me on Myface.com or Spacebook too. By the way I updated my music playlist with some new songs and moved it off to the side of the blog so it doesn't bother the folks that don't really want to listen to my eclectic taste of music.

Oh yah! I almost forgot. I'm looking for model type persons to be the subject in a couple of shoots. if you know someone that will work for prints let me know. I'm looking for someone with a strong sense of style and uncommonly good looks.

No one does the sprinkler like Mr. Bendo...

Doesn't it look like Mr. Bendo's doing the sprinkler.. For those of you who have not been lucky enough to have witnessed someone doing the "Sprinkler Dance" look it up on Youtube or something. :)

The Big Show...

Did an engagement session over the weekend with Brenda & Dan. It was a lot of fun. We happened upon this really awesome wall mural that was begging for some camera love.

Lost in the Forest...

I know it's been a while since I posted last. There are a few projects that I have been working on. Can't wait to finish them so I can show the world.

Checkout this rock star! Ok it's my cousin. Hope you enjoy them. :-)
