Paul C. Miller Photography

Working with Paul was uniformly a pleasure and unequivocally a highlight of the wedding for all of us.  He brought a honed sense of the fleeting moment, thanks to his expertise in photo-journalism. Expressions, encounters, juxtapositions. I was betting on that fresh immediacy from his work, and he came through.  Generous with his time and creative in his approach. We'd recommend Paul without hesitation! More...

We can't imagine being more thrilled with a photographer than we were with Paul Miller.

He's a really nice guy. Most importantly, our photos are spectacular. Highly, highly recommended! More...

Stunning photos and a pleasure to work with are the two phrases that come to mind when I think of Paul, but that does not even begin to describe how wonderful he is as a wedding photographer. We used Paul for both engagement photos in San Francisco, and our wedding photos at Trentadue winery in Healdsburg, CA. In both settings his photojournalist training and expertise created the most amazing shots. His calm, easygoing personality puts you at ease so that you are not focusing on the camera, but your loved one. Paul worked solo for our wedding, but was able to cover the entire event flawlessly. We are so happy with all of our wedding photos: preparation (for both bride and groom), first look, ceremony, wedding portraits, and candids of friends, family, and reception. He managed to catch all those perfect moments without us even noticing. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends. More...

Paul came recommended through our wedding venue, Vine Hill House.  He did a wonderful job with the photography.  The colors were rich and vibrant.  In this day and age of iphones, I was skeptical whether having a professional photographer was even necessary; however, his eye for good lighting and hi-res cameras definitely convinced me.  Looking through my photos, I can tell right away which ones were his and which were from friends and family.  His are much richer in color.  Communication was a snap.  I also liked that getting the photos was hassle-free.  Unlike some places which control the photos and charge you extra, we were able to download all our photos so that we can share with friends or create our own album.  Highly recommend him.

We eloped to the redwoods near Guerneville in December 2015. With a humble wedding party of only 8, we had given up most of the traditional wedding luxuries, but as a photography enthusiast myself the one thing I was adamant on having was a quality photographer. We also needed someone flexible enough to roll with a nontraditional wedding. Paul was perfect.Between epic rain storms and being barred entry from the redwoods by over-zealous park rangers, we were not short of bumps in the road, but Paul's calm and helpful attitude helped keep the day magical. He suggested locations and poses based on his knowledge of the area, and his artistic eye meant that we got some truly stunning shots. Since most of our friends and family weren't present on the day itself, the photos have been a great resource to share and recreate the magic of our exchange of vows, and everyone loves them. Be it a large or intimate affair, you'd have a hard time finding better than Paul C. Miller. More...

Paul photographed our daughter's wedding last weekend. All I can say is that he is top notch.  He spent the whole day at the venue as the bride was getting ready and we were setting up, and he didn't leave for 12 hours!  He was unobtrusive, cooperative in taking several special group pictures and knew exactly how to catch the spirit of the moment.  He also included engagement pictures which were beautiful.  And he is so easy to get along with. Thank you, Paul! More...

PAUL IS AWESOME!For me, planning a wedding was VERY stressful. I felt lost and had no idea where to begin. Lucky for us, our caterer recommended Paul. Paul is more than just an amazing photographer. He put me instantly at ease. From the beginning, he heard what was important to us and totally delivered. He was personable,  organized,  efficient and utterly professional. And the photos! He was able to unobtrusively capture some of the most precious and intimate moments of my life. They were beautiful and perfect. Looking back (over two years later), picking him is one of the few decisions besides marrying my husband that I would make over and over again. More...

Paul did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Other photographers focused incessantly on their "photography packages" and detailed hourly rates. Paul never did that, he truly listened to what we wanted and showed us his amazing passion for his work. After I met with him, I didn't even bother interviewing other photographers because I knew that he was our photographer. My husband and I loved his candid, photo journalistic storytelling style. He went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding, which was on New Years Eve. It was a challenging day because we asked him to photograph at various locations throughout San Francisco. He literally photographed nonstop from morning till night. His stamina was amazing and he was sweet, kind, patient and wonderfully creative. I loved that he was constantly inspired by various scenes and created beautiful shots. For example, along the way to a location that we picked out, he saw a section of cityscape that he wanted to photograph us in. The result was stunning! This has become one of our favorite photographs, among many others. Paul is truly talented!We felt so comfortable working with him. He was amazing with my peppy puppy, rambunctious children, family members and my bridal group. His photos captured the emotions our wedding and the joy of our family and friends. Photography is the most important aspect of a wedding. If you want to be in good hands, Paul is the way to go.We were thrilled with the bonus sweet and thoughtful slide show that he created. He provided so many fantastic photos. We were incredibly lucky to have him as our photographer. Recently, we asked him to take maternity photos and we couldn't be happier. It is such a joy to work with him. He has become our friend and we hope to foster a lifelong friendship! More...

Paul did a GREAT job photographing our wedding in Sebastopol this summer.  He listened to what was important to us and incorporated it into his shoot.  He's a stand up guy and really cared about capturing our big day.  Other photographers seemed to be very strict in pricing on a per hour basis, whereas Paul offered to be there for the day, "I'm not one to count hours, what's important is that I get all the shots that you guys want!"  The end result was professional photos from our newest friend!I'd highly recommend Paul to any of my family or friends.

Paul came recommended to us from friends who had hired him to photograph their wedding.  After doing our due diligence and researching several other photographers, we decided to hire Paul after thoroughly checking out his website and finding out what he would charge - turns out that his price was very competitive, and the deal maker for us was that he would cover our entire event from start to finish (a 12 hour day) without charging any "overtime. "  Many other photographers we researched had a set number of hours that they would be onsite, and anything beyond 4 - 6 hours warranted an "overtime" charge.  Given that we were having a late afternoon wedding and wanted to take all of our photos before the wedding to save time, we knew we would need someone who could be there all day, and at an affordable price.  Paul is a wonderful guy with a warm, easygoing personality - as soon as we met him in person, we knew we had made the right choice.  He has been a photographer for magazines, shooting scenes in nature and such, in addition to doing weddings.  So his creativity and ability to capture moments without staging them was highly desirable to us.  Paul shot our engagement session out at Goat Rock Beach in Jenner, CA - those photos turned out beautifully.  He then shot our October 2012 outdoor wedding in Sonoma.  He fully utilized the venue property to capture the most beautiful, creative shots.  He didn't force us into purchasing a photo book or package of prints - just the digital files on a CD with the files hosted on a Pictage website.  He also put together a slide show reel of some of our best shots with some of our favorite music playing - it brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it!  Paul showed up bright and early on our wedding day in order to capture shots of us getting ready, and he stayed through the end of the last dance at the reception.  His professionalism is remarkable, but even more notable is his kind, gentle nature (he was never pushy!) and how he captures moments naturally.  We expressed early on a desire to have a lot of candid photos - we aren't into the staged look of most wedding photo shoots.  He executed exactly what we asked and put his heart and soul into it.  Our photos are absolutely incredible - we could not be happier with the result!  I can't even imagine how many more great shots we would have gotten had we decided to spring for a second shooter.  Paul's creative genius is obvious and evident in our photos - he showcased our venue beautifully in every single shot that he took.  We have found our photographer for life in Paul - we will use him for every significant event in our lives, for as long as he is available to photograph them.  In choosing Paul, you will have made an excellent choice - an investment in your wedding photos.  Thank you Paul, for everything - we could not be happier with our decision to hire you for our wedding!

My husband and I got married in Sebastopol, CA in July of 2012. The owner of our wedding venue recommended a few photographers, one of them being Paul Miller. After reviewing websites with the photographers' work, my husband and I knew that we wanted Paul. We met with Paul a few months before the wedding and he could not have been any nicer. He was incredibly responsive to all of our emails. Once the wedding day arrived, he did a great job making sure we got all the shots we wanted and was incredibly professional. He is also incredibly nice and personable which helped to relax me on the wedding day. Paul made sure to sneak us away during the sunset to ensure we got the perfect pictures. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone! The pictures turned out wonderfully and his pricing is very reasonable! More...

We hired Paul to photograph our wedding last year. Not only is he a talented photographer, he is also very professional and personable. I had seen examples of Paul's work prior to meeting him, and immediately appreciated his ability to capture a person. When my husband and I met with Paul, we instantly felt very comfortable around him and knew that he was someone we would enjoy spending our entire wedding day with. We both hate having our picture taken, so Paul gave us "practice runs" to become a little more comfortable with him and being in front of the camera. On our actual wedding day we had so much fun with Paul, we laughed and smiled the whole time. I can honestly say that Paul exceeded all of our expectations as a photographer and the pictures turned out so beautiful! More...

We were married in beautiful Sebastopol and the event setting was already pretty incredible, an old apple orchard surrounded by fields of grapevines; so getting a photographer to capture it all was a high priority. We looked at many people's portfolios, but Paul's stuck us immediately. His experience in photo journalism coupled with an incredible eye for the romantic, really set him apart from others we had interviewed. He had a warm, friendly, and comfortable way about him, but you could see he would be direct and strong when needed, and considering our families we knew this would be an asset :-)We were not disappointed! Paul took over when he needed to for posed photos and then disappeared into the background to capture the candid moments that make wedding romantic and personal. After the wedding, in addition to sending us the images, he produced a beautiful online slide show to share with both those who attended, and those who could not make it.Paul was pleasure to work with start to finish and we have incredible photos to remind us of an equally incredible day.

I originally chose Paul for my wedding because when I went to his webpage, I saw that he did journalistic and other artistic photography. When I met Paul, he stood out from other photographers we met because he was clearly passionate about photography. You could just tell by the way he talked about it. I wanted something different and candid that would truly capture the moment on my wedding day, and I have to say, I was really thrilled with Paul's work.He really came through with beautiful candid shots that showed the emotions myself, my husband, and family were feeling on that day. He was very easy to work with and was not instrusive at all during the wedding. He would gently but firmly direct us when necessary, but was funny and fun to work with throughout. He definitely knew when the lighting was best, and as a result, our pictures are stunningly clear and crisp. And the colors are incredible.Paul was also easy to communicate with (email or phone), and was reasonably priced. He made an effort to get to know our families on the night of the rehearsal dinner and also designed our albums with our input. I really enjoyed his collaborative style and would definitely say that he went above and beyond what most would do. I now have a beautiful album sitting on my coffee table thanks to Paul.

OH WOW. Paul is  AMAZING! The photos he took are incredible, we LOVE them! I love how he caught the perfect facial expressions from people, how he shot at the exact right moments. And the lighting, don't even get me started! I can't believe that he got such great light in your photos, even in the darkest situations. Amazing. No other word for it. We are beyond thrilled. Absolutely perfect. Afterward, Paul must have spent a crazy long time selecting and editing those shots.

On our wedding day he floated around very naturally and never forced anything, only gathering us for formals at opportune times and basically just knowing how and when to get his shots throughout the day.  All of the "bedside manner" analysis aside, he captured our day better than I think we even expected.  The day goes by so quickly in the whirlwind of marrying the love of your life, having everyone you know and love in one place at one time, being pulled for photos and conversations (not to mention wedding schedule stuff) that before you know it you're on your way home.  At 9:45 my wife thought it was only 6:30!  My point is, thanks to Paul we can relive our wedding day at a slower pace.  We already cherish the photos, however I think their importance will only grow with age.  I can imagine being very old and appreciating the job Paul did in preserving a very special moment in our lives.Lastly, as my wife chimes in with her own analysis, Paul was there when we stepped off our limo bus at 11:15 am and he left when we left around 10:00 pm.  There really isn't a single thing more we could ask for from our wedding photographer.  Also, both sets of parents and all of our friends loved our photos.  There's something to be said about the fact that Paul takes photos that everyone can agree on.

I would give Paul 10 stars if I could! We got married 2 years ago and to this day, the incredibly artistic photos he took give me tremendous joy and transport me back to that magical day. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole planning process and went far above and beyond on the actual day. Whenever I see other friends' wedding photos, I realize how incredibly talented Paul is, because ours look like something from a magazine.  It was also sweet to learn about moments during the wedding that I didn't personally experience, such as the set-up, and to see the day from different vantage points. It seems like he was  in the right place at the right time throughout the day. He did a wonderful job of capturing emotions and the subtle interactions that added up to the essence of the event. And his prices were extremely reasonable. More...
