Mike is the best!

I am so grateful that Mike was recommended to us from our venue. He was so professional and extremely helpful when creating a perfect timeline. I loved working with Mike and Nicole on the day of our wedding and we are so happy with the results. The price was extremely fair and I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Mike!

Stunning photos, amazing experience!

Working with Mike was an incredible experience! We planned our wedding from across the country and he was amazing at setting up phone calls and meetings way ahead of time, confirming details and timelines, and ensuring he understood our vision for the big day! He got every shot we could have wanted and we were blown away by the quality of his photography. Stunning work! Would recommend to my closest family and friends!

Amazing exerience!

I hired Mike and his assistant Nicole for my small backyard wedding in August. He was very willing to work with me as all our wedding plans changed as a result of the pandemic, and was willing to edit his package for us several times to suit our needs. They are absolutely stellar photographers and we have so many incredible pictures of us, our guests, and the various details of our wedding day. They guided us through our portraits and captured some amazing candids. Their hard work will let us keep the memories of our amazing wedding fresh. I can't recommend working with them enough, if Mike is available for your wedding day, hire him!

Stop searching you’ve found your photographer!

Mike and his daughter Nancy were an absolute joy to work with. They were so professional but were also super helpful, nice, and funny. Nancy even helped my bridesmaids make sure my dress looked perfect on me. They are so experienced, having photos done by them is effortless. And OMG the final pictures are absolutely amazing. So many people have said they belong on a magazine cover. I can’t say enough good things about Mike and Nancy. Reserve your date before it’s too late. :)

Best photography group around!

Where do I even start? I heard of Mike Topham Photography from one of my best friends - she and her sister worked with Mike and his daughter Nancy for their weddings several years ago. Their pictures showed so much happiness and captured very touching moments. I knew I had to reach out, and when our wedding date was available - I remember jumping up and down with excitement!

Nancy photographed our engagement pictures, and a few months later our wedding photos. This family is so sweet, loving, and really look out for your best interests and desires for your big day! They were my eyes when I couldn’t see all that was happening around me - I got so many compliments on my engagement pictures, and I know without a doubt, that my wedding pictures will be magnificent!

Don’t look any further. If you are looking for a flexible, loving, generous, and incredibly talented family to work with — call Mike Topham photography!!

Stunning!! Couldn't ask for more!!

Initially while on the hunt for a photographer, our wedding planner recommended a few choices she worked with in the past, Topham Photography being one of them. After checking out the different styles and photo’s online, we chose Topham Photography and we are SO happy that we did. Nancy was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with from day one. We had her take our engagement photos as well and once we received them back we knew we made the right choice for our wedding, she knows how to find that special moment! The pictures at our wedding came out stunning and captured every moment perfectly from beginning to end. If there’s any doubt in choosing a photographer, don’t hesitate to choose Topham Photography. We couldn’t ask for more!!
