Great Experience, Highly Recommend!

Paul came highly recommended to us from our wedding venue and we could not be happier with the result! He really knew the space and lighting well and was very personable and worked well with our wedding party and families. He also took our priorities for the day into account and adhered the timeline we had in place very well, maximizing the time we had. We’re so pleased with the quality of the photos and the memories we get to take away from the day because of them.

Paul was amazing to work with. He was patient, fun, and we had such great photos of our special day! It was worth every penny to have some shots of our engagement and wedding that will last us a lifetime.

Paul was our first choice in looking for a wedding photographer and recommended by a friend. We loved the whole process; from the engagement photos, to planning how our wedding day would go, to then watching a slideshow of our GORGEOUS wedding photos on his big-screen TV! He is very experienced and has a laid back, artistic flare. In fact, some of the more artistic photos (i.e. different angles and photo effects) were some of our favorite. It was a joy to work with him! When we're ready for family photos...there will only be one person to call - that's Paul!

We had booked Paul for our engagement photo and for our wedding this past weekend and were so impressed with how fun and easy-going the picture process went. Our engagement photos were awesome, we had them done at Epic in Verona and with Paul's expertise they turned out amazing. With the engagement photos Paul made us a guest book for guests to sign! For the day of the wedding, we chose the premier package...Paul and Maria arrived early to get some shots of everyone getting ready and every small detail. Throughout the day Paul and Maria were amazing in capturing photos, they coordinated with all of the venue staff and were extremely fun while still remaining professional. We were so happy with how everything went and will be going through Paul for future photography sessions! Paul's packages have a lot of value because he includes additional products other than the photos such as the guest book, parent books, save-the-date magnets, a fusion show of our favorite photos and small video clips, and so much more (depending on the package)! We HIGHLY recommend Paul Toepfer Photography!!!

Paul went out of his way, literally, for my wedding. He traveled to multiple places with us the whole time taking pictures. He was very flexible. I had a huge list of pictures that I wanted to be taken, and he took every one that we could in addition to his amazing ideas. He met with us multiple times before during and after our wedding so that he knew he had all of the details right. He didn't pick the pictures that he wanted us to have in OUR photo album. He let US pick what WE wanted because he knew that it was our memories. He was great! Thanks Paul!

We chose Paul for his artistic perspective. He knows what looks good, and he was always there to capture those fleeting, precious moments. Throughout our engagement with him, he was responsive and open to our input. It was overcast on our wedding day, but his "seen-it-all" professionalism and reassuring presence allowed us to enjoy the day. Our canvas-covered album, which we received a few months after the day, looks absolutely gorgeous and received plenty of compliments. We highly recommend Paul.

We had such a great experience with Paul! We purchased a wedding package that included engagement photos, wedding photos, a wedding book for us and 2 parent books and rights to the pictures. I appreciate that while he has offered to sell us photos there has been no pressure to do so. He listened to what type of pictures we wanted and had a great balance between posed pictures and non posed. We got so many complements on the photos! Paul was also very good about talking with us both before and during the wedding day about ways to help make the wedding day go smoothly and ways to get the best pictures possible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
