Above Topsail

From the moment he pulled up in his bad a$$ bike to the very end Jeff was incredible. He made my family feel at ease and laugh oh my did we laugh! Jeff is professional, kind and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him for your photography needs.

AJ is so patient...great perspective on framing and in the end I received a beautiful piece of work framed perfectly! Everyone there is so nice! A gem in our area!

We had Above topsail come out for our 25th Anniversary Event! The pictures/video came out beautiful. They were able to capture all of the important moments. Thank you, Jeff and Hilary!

Jeff was fantastic! He sat down with us to go over each of our needs and wants. The preparation for our two-day event was very thorough. We experienced excellent communication. Jeff let us know which team member would be at each location for our event. You can't put a price on the relief we felt knowing that each portion of our event was being documented for us. Above Topsail truly made our event, The Contest of Champions memorable. We are very excited to share this footage and content with our staff in three other states.

Had a wonderful experience working with AJ on a sentimental custom frame gift for my husband! He spent a lot of time with me going over different options and giving a comprehensive quote. I never felt pressured and it was a wonderful experience, will be back for sure!

We all know Jeff has some of the best and unique photos of the island. And most of you know he has a complete studio for incredible family photos. What you may not know about is their frame shop and the scale at which they can make your own note cards, frame your photos or transfer to canvas, and the refining techniques to create a very professional outcome (way to go AJ!). Please stop by to see all their services so you can see what they can do for you.

They made an AWESOME banner for my son's baseball team! AJ is great and was able to make the vision a reality!! And it was done in less than 24 hours!! Thank you guys!!!

I had a lot of fun with my photo shoot! Jeff is very professional and his work is amazing!

Our experience with Jeff was nothing short of remarkable. If your time is valuable and your captured moments are precious to you and your family, this is the road best traveled. If you are looking for a Shutterfly experience, Jeff is not your guy. We were initially brought in to get a tour of the studio and a full understanding of what his capability set looked like. We were impressed by the depth and breadth of his artistic capability and state of the art equipment. We then attended a well-planned out timely photo shoot as a family both in the studio and by the water. The last step was a casual meeting over coffee in a beautiful office where we selected our packages and placed the final order. Jeff charges a premium comparable to other artist in his league for his service. The value Jeff brings, far out ways the investment. If you are looking for a polished publisher quality memory, call him today.

Wow love this place. Was seeking some pictures on canvas two weeks before Christmas. I was introduced to AJ and he took my visions and put them on canvas, in time for that special gift. The pictures were of my grandson when he was much younger, he being 12 now. One of which was one with his beloved dog Dozier. AJ was awesome though the whole process. He cropped and zoomed until perfection.
The end result on Christmas Eve, when he opened was priceless.and for this 12year old, the best presents.
Thankyou AJ for your attention to detail, and, if anyone drives by and see the bright colored signs along the Hwy17in Holly Ridge, go in and check them out,you will love them as I did.

Love Jeff’s work!! I booked him as my videographer for my wedding last June and I truly couldn’t be happier with our final product. A whole year later and it still brings tears to my eyes. I also have modeled for Jeff for fun and to build each other’s portfolios in his gorgeous studio located in the heart of Holly Ridge, NC. Jeff is so easygoing and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Couldn’t ask for a better professional entrepreneur, Mayor, photographer, teacher and friend!

Above Topsail/Jeff W was amazing helping me get my photo session scheduled. It was originally with my entire family, however after a new little one came into our family and my sister could no longer come. Jeff worked with to make it the session for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. The photos turned out so well.

I highly recommend Above Topsail and Jeff. I will defiantly use Above Topsail/Jeff when the entire family can come to Topsail.

Jeff Wenzel is one of the most professional photography and artistry studios that I have ever seen in my 35 years of the industry of make up and hair for photo shoots and on location sets.
He is dedicated and has a distinctive eyes for art and epic photography. When you want a memorable photo shoot or canvas work Jeff is extraordinary talented in this field!

We had a great photo shoot with the owner Jeff and his assistant, they were both incredible. My daughter hates pictures being taken of her and usually hates pictures of herself however she had soo much fun, was at ease with them, and actually enjoyed herself. Every shot taken was beautiful and really brought out my daughters natural beauty that I see every day. I actually cried in the session because he captured her personality and her inner joy like I have never seen before. We haven’t seen the finished proofs but what we saw allows me to wait for the final product with extreme excitement. We will go to this artist any time we need photos and we are blessed to have such a talented local photographer. Thank you Jeff for this experience it was one we will remember always.

If you go by Topsail and are looking for a great photographer, Jeff is your man!
Not only is work is stunning (landscape & portraits) but he is also full of great tips for your time in topsail.
He recommended us a restaurant that my wife and I fell in love with!

Thanks Jeff for all of your help!

Very professional! You can tell Jeff loves what he does and he will make you feel extremely comfortable during your photoshoot. He also has some amazing artwork of Surf City and surrounding areas!

Jeff did a fabulous job on our family pictures. He was professional and was ready to work at the time slot chosen. We would highly recommend him to everyone.

Purchased multiple pieces from Jeff. Every interaction has been great. He handled the sale and distribution of the limited custom swing bridge rivet works in a fair and professional manner. Looking forward to adding more from him in the future!

Jeff Wenzel took photos of daughter for her high school senior year. With the pandemic, many seniors missed proms, graduation and other important events. The photos of our daughter on the beach and various locations were stunning. Thank you for making her senior year special!

Jeff you are amazing! Love your work and enjoy working with you. If you have never visited his place you need too, his work speaks for itself absolutely amazing!
