Michelle Huggleston Photography

I’m Michelle, a Cardiff-based wedding photographer who specialises in capturing weddings with a calm, natural and documentary-led approach. I believe the best wedding photos come from real moments — the quiet looks, spontaneous laughter and the small details that tell the story of your day. My aim is to create a relaxed atmosphere so you can be present with your people while I quietly record the connection and emotion. Why choose me for your wedding photography? I bring a blend of editorial eye and a documentary mindset: I’m there for the important posed portraits but I’m equally focused on the unscripted moments that make each celebration unique. My approach is unobtrusive — I work with available light wherever possible and I prioritise authentic expression over stiff formality. This means you’ll receive a collection of professional wedding photos that feel true to your day, not overly staged. How I work with couples: I start with a friendly conversation to understand what matters most to you — the tone of the day, priority moments and the people you want photographed. On the wedding day I create a calm presence, gently guiding family group shots and portraits while staying alert to candid interactions. Engagement sessions are available to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera ahead of the big day; they’re a great way to relax, experiment with poses, and build rapport so you feel at ease on your wedding morning. My photography is driven by a love of storytelling and attention to light, composition and detail. From bridal preparations to first dances and everything in between, I curate a timeless gallery that you’ll enjoy returning to for years. Based in Cardiff, I photograph weddings across Wales and the UK, bringing professional experience and a warm, personal approach to every commission. If you want wedding photography that prioritises honest emotion, calm direction and beautiful, timeless images, I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can capture your day.
