About Andrew Miller UK Wide Wedding Photographer
I don’t do that fake documentary stuff. I just ask you to be you, to cuddle (or cwtch if your Welsh) as you would do in everyday life. I want your kids (if you have any) to grow up and look at the album and say “yeah – that looks like our parents”, not squirm and tell you that the wedding photographs look nothing like you do in real life.
I organise, arrange and craft wedding memories. And then take (possibly embarrassing but 100% accurate) unposed, unnoticed, unseen, unheard (Really. My cameras are 100% silent. I could take wedding photographs with the Pope officiating, with my camera body poking over his left shoulder and he wouldn’t hear the shutter. ) truly documentary images when you’re not expecting it.
About Andrew Miller UK Wide Wedding Photographer
I do documentary photography. I do product photography. I do fashion photography. I help you craft memories and then help you put those memories in print with amazing wedding albums.
As a Bristol wedding photographer, I want your guests to come up to you at the end of the night and ask why you didn’t like me enough to invite to the wedding as a guest. I want to be known as a mate of yours who has a decent camera and knows how to use it, not as a paid wedding photographer.

The Business of Wedding Photography
Before signing up for training workshops with other photographers, check to make sure they are qualified to deliver training to groups or on a 1-1 basis. If they offer to coach and/or mentoring, ask if they are qualified coaches and mentors. If not; why not?
Those same professional photographers would moan about the amateurs picking up a camera and photographing a wedding without any training, yet fail to see the irony of offering training workshops themselves when they have no training qualifications.
It’s not good enough to be good – you have to be good enough to teach your subject as well.

What camera equipment do I use?
I use several Fuji XT3’s now and will be upgrading to the Fuji Xt4 in June 2020 :-)
Why did I change?
Well, a few reasons but three main ones.
- Cost. The new Canon 5D4 came out at £3,500 each. I needed to upgrade 4 Canon 4D3’s – a total cost of £14,000. That is a lot of cash.
- Tech. The Canon 5D4 just didn’t have the extra stuff inside to justify the extra cost. £500 cheaper and I’d have been seriously tempted. But then Canon introduced an upgrade to allow 4k video and was charging £100 extra for it. That just isn’t on in a camera costing £3.5k to start with and I lost faith in Canon.
- Weight. Canon’s are bloody heavy. A 5D4 plus battery grip plus flash plus 70-200 II f2.8 puts a serious strain on the lower back and elbow/wrist joints. I’m not getting any younger as my grey hair will testify to.
Update – I’ve just finished my blog about moving to Fuji. You can read it all here – Fuji XT2 wedding photography
Why Fuji?
I looked at Sony, another great mirrorless system and found them excellent but again in my opinion costly. Next in line was Fuji.
A good photographer friend of mine from North Yorkshire has had them a couple of years. We met, we played I fell in love. Simple as that. The Fuji XT2 LOOKS like a camera should. Dials on the top plate, the aperture on the lens. It had a soul. It was also £1,400 per body, had 4k video, weather-sealed, dual cards, outstanding low light capability (I’ll easily use files from ISO 12,800 with it), weighed a lot less, image quality was the same (bet you can’t tell which images are Canon and which are Fuji eh?!).
On the downside it’s mirrorless – so has potential power management issues. So I bought more batteries. It has a slightly slower focusing speed in low light than the Canon 5D3, so I slowed myself down and thought more about the images I was taking. It also didn’t have (until now) a mature flash system, but I’m used to shooting in a manual flash anyway so that’s all I did until Fuji finalised the techy side, issued a free firmware update and Godox got on the case and made the Fuji version of the triggers I use. It’s now an outstanding bit of kit.
About Andrew Bristol Wedding Photographer – No Camera Left Behind
Fuji also has a corporate mantra of Kaizen or Continuous Improvement. “No camera left behind” The update the firmware on their cameras on a regular basis. This gives better focusing speed as an example or better power management.
Canon & Nikon have a history of just bringing out a new camera instead of updating the firmware.
Free update vs new camera? No brainer for me.
