About

Hal Miller Photography and Film offers a friendly, holistic and supportive photo and film service all in one place.

Hal and his wife Emily have been capturing photos and films of happy couples' weddings for the last five years and pride themselves in always leaving couples feeling supported, listened to and comfortable in the knowledge that the emotion felt during their wedding has been captured in an authentic, natural and genuine light.

Hal and Emily originally met in Cambodia and started their journey making wildlife and adventure documentaries in South East Asia together. During the pandemic, after a dramatic return to the UK as the world shut down, they managed to stay together and capture the stillness of the wilderness in rural Devon, resulting in the award-winning documentary "Harberton" whilst also falling madly in love until Hal asked Emily to marry him. As time went on, Hal's photography journey led him to become proficient in various photographic styles and subjects, but his absolute favourite has always been capturing the love, emotion and beauty of weddings. They are now happily married now living in Chepstow, serving clients across Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire amongst other places.

Hal has gone on to become the supportive, friendly photographer that couples can depend on. He frequently gets complimented on his work ethic, with guests and couples often commenting on how hard he works to capture every moment from every possible angle. His friendly, sociable and jovial demeanour helps guests feel relaxed around the camera to get you the best possible results - big natural smiles, no awkward moments, lots of love and emotion. His attention to the little details makes sure that all the effort that goes into the personal touches that make your wedding unique is also captured forever for you to remember.

Couples often feel like they are saying goodbye to a friend at the end of the night, as Hal makes such an effort to make their day as special as possible.

By offering comprehensive pre-booking consultations via video call, you can meet Hal face to face to discuss your requirements. He's always keen to find out more about each couple, their unique story and their preferences and tastes when it comes to what they want from their photographer and videographer. With Emily also there with boundless positivity and a keen eye for the little bits you might miss on the day, together they make a formidable team who can be counted on to deliver memories of your wedding that often leave couples in tears of joy once the final package is delivered.

Photo-only packages start at up to four hours of coverage.
Combined photo and video packages start at up to four hours of combined photo and video coverage.

Each wedding is unique, so prices are more for guidance. You can tailor your package to suit your budget.

Each Photo client will get access to an easily shareable online gallery chronologically showing the photos of the day, all edited in a natural, unstylised, largely unfiltered finish.

Each Video Client can get, at the least, a cinematically shot highlight video montage of their day. This varies in length depending on the day and can also include full recordings of the ceremony and speeches, as well as drone shots of the venue if permitted.

Fully insured and DBS checked for your peace of mind.

Quick project turnaround times of less than three weeks and sneak peek albums delivered within 24 hours of your event.

Our wedding

It’s difficult to put into words how pleased we were with our photos and how much we enjoyed our day. Hal was so friendly and we immediately felt relaxed and at ease (not an easy task for someone who HATES their photo taken). Time was taken before the wedding to find out exactly what we wanted and this was executed perfectly, especially careful consideration to neurodiverse members of the wedding party. Many guests took time to compliment how lovely and friendly the photography team were.

We have so many photos of our perfect day, creating memories to last a lifetime. I can't recommend Hal and his team enough, I believe we found the best of the bunch! Friendly, considerate, with a real natural talent as well as being professional but also up for a laugh!

Thank you, so greatful for what you captured! Now to try and choose a selection, when all the photos are our favourite!

Fantastic photographer to capture your day

Hal has taken photos or videos at several important events in my life over the years. He did a fantastic video at our wedding a few years ago which really captured the atmosphere of the day and more recently he's taken family photos which are very special and we will treasure for ever. Hal is friendly and puts everyone at ease with his relaxed and engaging way of working, he's fun to be around and his enthusiasm is infectious. You'll be in safe hands with Hal doing the photography of your event or special day.

Hal made our wedding day truly unforgettable!

We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better photographer than Hal to capture our wedding day! From start to finish, his friendly and calm presence made everything run so smoothly.

On the day, he came to my parents’ house for the bridal shoot, then to my husband’s, and finally to the venue. He made us feel relaxed throughout, which really helped everything flow naturally.

The quality of the images is stunning - perfectly framed, beautifully lit, and truly capturing the love and joy of our day. We’re beyond thrilled with the memories Hal has helped us preserve and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Thank you, Hal, for your amazing work and for making our wedding day even more unforgettable!

Tim and Debbie’s Wedding - Sopley Mill Oct 2023

Hal was extremely professional when he was the photographer at our wedding. Hal turned up on time despite driving a long way to the wedding. He was professionally dressed and was friendly and personable. Hal listened to our requests with regard to the choice of photographs and helped us to decide what group shots we wanted. Hal was also an unobtrusive and reassuring presence to be around for all our guests.
