Best photographer in Wilmington, NC! The quality of photos were better than we could have imagined. Working with TJ felt so comfortable, he was constantly reminding us to relax and breath which helped us tremendously! He goes above and beyond for his clients- our photo gallery was made available 4 weeks after our wedding!!! We hope to use him again in the future for other photography needs.

It was 2009 when I met TJ! When I noticed on Facebook he was looking into visiting St.Lucia in 2024 & did anyone have any must do’s pointers. I immediately commented on the FB post, our wedding is going to be in St. Lucia & you must come with us! I knew we had to have him come and be our photographer for our destination wedding in St. Lucia of the West Indies. It was meant to be for sure. That was when we started planning, he said YES to our dates! TJ arrived to our resort for the “night before party” spent hours getting to know our family, friends and resort staff all while shooting a dreamy scene and capturing all the smiles, laughter and conversations throughout the night! The next day was the BIG DAY and he was there for it all, from hair & makeup for myself & back to the groom’s suite for the best images I’ve even seen of my husband in my life. TJ was all over the resort! Between myself and my future husband while we were preparing for our “I Do’s” TJ did not miss a moment. The dress, the flat lays, and the decor were all captured and displayed perfectly. Then the wedding, what can I say it was just perfect, every picture, every smile, every guest image that was taken was just PERFECT! TJ worked with the videographer we had hired from the resort & never once missed the shot even though there were videographers everywhere in his way I’m sure haha. The sun was setting & TJ’s vision came to life, wow is all we can say! The cocktail hour and reception was a party and TJ went above and beyond with these images, we were a wild bunch for sure & he knew what to do! Just jump in and get the shot, I can not express how happy we are with every single image that was delivered to us last night. We watched them on a slide show with music delivered by TJ, it was like reliving our perfect day with our perfect photographer. Thank you TJ and Maria she was the best plus 1 for back up help we just loved her as well. But thank you both for making our destination wedding something we will never forget! Xoxo Mrs. Kernodle

I recently hired TJ to take some photos of my son and me. I kept seeing friends post pictures online that TJ had taken, and they looked incredible. I reached out via his website and I'm so glad I did. We met at the beach and TJ gave us some guidance and fell back and just let us be boys. TJ captured the love that my son and I have for each other so well. When I saw the pictures, I got so emotional. I hadn't had the vantage point of seeing what our relationship looks like to others. I now have the treasure of these photos that will live with our family for many years to come. TJ is such a professional, and you can tell that he truly cares about his clients. Top notch photographer, whom I will definitely be hiring again soon!

TJ is everything I was looking for in a photographer and more. He shoots with a unique perspective, excellent creative direction, and awesome efficiency. I'm blown away by my photos and couldn't believe how quickly he turned around the final edits. On top of all that, TJ is warm, considerate, responsive, and went above and beyond in everything he did. I have enough high-quality content to fuel the next year of my business, and it couldn't have been a smoother process. I highly recommend him.

TJ photographed our engagement session in October 2022 at the south end of Wrightsville Beach. The experience was incredible from start to finish. My fiancé and I both consider ourselves awkward in front of a camera. TJ made the atmosphere so laid back and fun, which produced photos that were genuine and authentic. We have an entire album filled with photos, featuring different poses and beautiful lighting captured as the sun was setting. If you’re looking for a top-notch photographer, we HIGHLY recommend TJ with Drechsel Photography!

Best Photographer Ever! TJ shot our wedding in Puerto Rico and the photos are beyond my wildest dreams. We had so much fun working with him. He instantly put us at ease, and his ideas and guidance during every capture were so helpful. He made all my super model dreams come true. Moody editorials with the most perfectly framed backdrops. He shot for 5 days straight for our destination wedding and had the photos to us insanely fast. Do not hesitate! Just book him before its too late!! Thanks again TJ!!!

Exquisite craftsmanship behind the camera. TJ is able to introduce depth, sharpness, technical expertise and raw emotion in every photograph. Each memory carefully preserved at the snap of his camera shutter. Tj is a true professional and you can trust that you’ll receive his best attempt to slow down time a capture the moments most important to you, when hiring him.
Highly recommend Dreschel photography!
