From her home base in Auburn, Alabama, wedding photographer Hannah Miller has spent the past ten years capturing love in its most sincere and elegant form. Her journey began with a deep appreciation for emotion and aesthetics, a combination that continues to shape her approach to every celebration.

“I cherish the opportunity to capture the emotion of a couple, the joy of their family and aesthetic of a beautiful day,” Hannah shares. That love for storytelling evolved into a decade-long career serving refined couples across the Southeast.

Married to her college sweetheart since 2016 and raising two children together, Hannah draws inspiration from her own life—filled with lakeside weekends, family golf games, and cheering for the Auburn Tigers. “We spend a lot of time at our family lake house on Lake Martin,” she says. “That peaceful joy you feel when you’re with loved ones? That’s what I try to channel into every frame.”

Hannah’s work is characterized by a thoughtful balance of composition and connection. “I document extraordinary moments for refined couples,” she explains, “artfully crafting the story of their incredible celebration.”

Her style is both classic and elevated—a seamless blend of editorial portraits and meaningful candids. She is particularly drawn to the timeless feel of film photography and uses both digital and analog formats to tell a more complete story.

“I use a mix of digital and film photography,” she says. “My post-processing editing is aimed to match classic film stocks, giving my clients a natural and timeless edit that is true to color.”

The result? Galleries that feel effortless, cohesive, and deeply emotional.

A Photographer’s Philosophy

What sets Hannah apart is not just her eye for beauty but her heart for people. “I love making my clients feel beautiful and celebrated,” she says. “And making long-lasting client relationships.”

She approaches every wedding with intention and care, becoming not just a vendor but a trusted presence throughout the day. It’s that sense of partnership that allows her to capture the most genuine moments—unscripted glances, joyful embraces, quiet in-betweens.

Words of Wisdom

For couples preparing for their big day, Hannah offers a grounded yet empowering perspective. “Trust your photographer, and wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable and flattered,” she advises. “Have fun, and focus on your loved one!”

It’s a simple yet powerful reminder that the best photographs are born not from perfect poses, but from real connection.

While many photographers chase exotic locations, Hannah has found her muse close to home. “I stay within the South East,” she shares, embracing the familiar charm and natural beauty of the region.

Her favorite destination? “Lake Martin will always be special,” she says with a smile. It’s where her family makes memories—and where she’s captured some of the most heartfelt weddings of her career.

A Legacy in Every Frame

For Hannah Miller, photography isn’t just about capturing a day—it’s about preserving a feeling. Her work resonates with couples who value sincerity, elegance, and the quiet poetry found in real moments.

With every shutter click, she’s not just documenting weddings—she’s weaving heirlooms, framing love in its purest form.
