About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: August 2024

Creating Diamonds Wedding Photography are a wedding photography company based in both central London and Bath. Owner Matt has been capturing some of life’s most precious moments for more than 15 years. Relationships and family mean everything to Matt. He loves making connections with his clients and discovering those qualities that make each couple’s love beautiful and unlike any other. A wedding is an occasion for joy and celebration, a day filled with moments that warm and gladden the heart. Matt would love to be there to capture every precious moment, and he hopes that your collection will bring you joy for many years to come.

In the UK, especially, you want a photographer that is very experienced with low light situations. You’ll not only get that experience but I will not overtake your day with huge lighting rigs. I have learnt how to capture the right moments with small flashes that are often high and out of the way when needed.

With this knowledge of lighting (when allowed), I can capture crisp, clean and sharp photos, using studio and fashion techniques. It’s these photos that will truly stand the test of time for you to share with your loved ones for years to come.

I would not say I have a style, I like to be diverse in how I shoot weddings with natural light and creative off camera flash It's then about the surroundings, venue, bride and groom that really determine the look and feel and make the story telling so unique. I like my images to be well shot in terms of correct composition and exposure. I then like to add creative angle's and add a little fun to the imagery via a natural photo journalistic approach.

I always say to my bride and grooms that every wedding has it's own unique story, which I truly believe is and extension of your personality and style. From the dress, the flowers, venue and colour pallets all tell a story and that story is an extension of you, which I tell through photography.

Incredible photographer

Matt was amazing at our wedding. He blended in so well, didn’t even notice him at the ceremony but got the most incredible pictures. He’s so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day! Would 100% recommend him.

Professional, friendly, made our day stress free and created the most beautiful work for us to treasure forever.

My husband and I had the best experience with Creating diamonds. From our first conversation we felt at ease. Matt is friendly and really easy to get on with. We had several FaceTimes with him prior to the day and he would alway reply to our many questions . I felt at ease that there would be nothing I needed to worry about on the day and he had everything under control.
On the day everything went so smoothly. Matt had a colleague with him and also was working along side a videographer. All our guests said they were lovely guys. I never felt like they were in the way or asking us to do too much. Matt made us both feel really comfortable whilst having the pictures taken and always had a giggle! We even got our “golden hour” shots!!!!
We received the pictures via email not that long after and they are just so beautiful. Exactly what we had imagined and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

We would like to thank Matt for making our day so chilled, easy and stress free whilst creating amazing memories for us through his photography.
We would 100% use him again in the future and recommend him to anyone who wants really special memories.

Thanks
Em & Mark

Lovely guys, stunning photos

Matt & Ian were such a joy to have around on our wedding day I genuinely felt sad when they had to leave. They put everyone at ease and were so good at what they did, half the time you barely noticed they were there. And yet the photos that came out were breathtaking, they captured every moment of the day in ways that are so beautiful I don’t even know how they did it. Would recommend to anyone

Best wedding photos ever!

Matt was so great, we wanted a bespoke package because we were doing our wedding across two days and he was more than happy to make it work.

Each day was completely different and he really managed to capture the energy and feel of both the party and the formal bits , aswell as making a very unphotogenic couple look good!

Apart from his professionalism he also was great at making us feel comfortable both before the events with catch ups and calls and on both of the days .

Thanks again Matt we are so pleased with the photos .

Highly recommended Wedding Photographer

Matt was fantastic from Day 1 - he's very professional as well as open and honest which we really appreciated. The quality of his work is superb and we were very happy with all our wedding photos which were sent to us in record time. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough - you will not regret having him document the most special day of your lives.

Simply Fantastic!

The the moment I spoke to Matt I knew we had to have him as our photographer! He just instantly made us feel at ease, it was as though we had known him for years! He went through various options with us and had so many great ideas. He took time to meet us at the venue to have a look around and get a feel for some great places to shoot, he was just as we imagined, fun, professional, helpful..we were in good hands! On the day Matt took control of our families to ensure we didn't have the stress of it. He helped with everything, blended in and was like part of the family. We couldn't recommend him more - you really get what you pay for. All of our photos are stunning!

Amazing Photographer and Experience

Matt was an incredible photographer capturing our wedding day exactly how we wanted (relaxed and natural). It felt like he was one of the guests whilst getting such amazing photos of our day. All of our guests commented about how great he was getting everyone exactly where they needed to be, making adjustments to dresses and positions if needed, and just being very personable. We would recommend him to anyone wanting professional photos.

Over the moon

Matt really listened to our ideas on how we wanted our special day to be remembered. He researched the venue and meticulously planned our shots. On the day Matt was kind, funny, professional and most importantly patient! The images Matt shot told the story of the whole day from start to finish, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer.

Thank you Matt

We really are beyond happy! Impeccable service

We couldn’t recommend Matt highly enough! We are so pleased with how beautifully Matt and his assistant captured our Wedding Day. Not being the most comfortable person in front of a camera, I was really worried about choosing a photographer, however we met Matt at a wedding fair in Bristol and instantly felt really at ease and knew we wanted him to capture our day. Matt was so friendly and professional both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. He was very responsive and helpful if we every had any queries or questions. We definitely felt in safe hands.

We also had to postpone our original wedding date due to covid which wasn’t a problem for Matt, we are soo grateful for this after hearing lots of horror stories from other couples about their suppliers!

On the day itself Matt and his assistant were amazing! Every detail of our day was captured without us even realising. They are very clever, talented and unobtrusive. We are so over the moon with the pictures and will treasure them forever.

Couldn’t have wished for a better photographer!

We are so glad we chose Creating Diamonds. Matt was great every step of the way and helped us so much when it comes t the usual shots people have etc. He is class in every sense and you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing, and such a perfectionist too. Many of my guests since have spoken about how wonderful he was and he was a pleasure to have at the wedding and reception. He captured so many amazing memories and also beautiful couple and formal shots! He was everything we wished for and more, I would absolutely recommend Creating Diamonds! Thank you so much, Matt!

Just perfect

Choosing the right photographer was one of the things we were most anxious about for our wedding, knowing that these would be the lasting memory of the day. When we spoke with Matt, we were immediately put at ease and felt he really took time to understand us as a couple, what our wedding was all about and what we were looking for. For someone who is so experienced in weddings, we thought Matt might have been a bit 'painting by numbers' but our discussions were nothing like that at all. Matt really seemed genuinely interested in finding out more about us, tailoring things to our day and coming up with creative suggestions we wouldn't have considered otherwise. Matt is really personable and on the day itself put both of us (who were buckets of nerves) and all our guests at ease, with lots of the guests asking us if we knew him personally, such was the vibe created. The pictures were more than we could ever have hoped for and really are the most special, creative and authentic depiction of our day which we will treasure forever. Everyone was amazed at the quality and the ability to capture so many moments of the day, without much intervention or staging. We are so grateful to have booked Matt and know that any couples lucky enough to work with him will have the same wonderful experience.

Flawless....

Fell for the look of Matts work at a wedding fare, and then the stars aligned when he himself was married at our venue. We knew that he would know where to get the best shots and make the most of the beautiful settings in the venue and grounds! He was so helpful from our first discussion, throughout the day and even after with his quick turnaround and picking the shots for our album. Matt even helped us with finding our videographer as we were struggling to find someone we liked and the fact Matt had previously worked with him meant they worked together in perfect harmony. Matt made a game plan for the day and it went seamlessly, navigating the vast estate and 3 mile driveway between bride and groom getting ready to gather all the getting ready and welcome shots without any issue. Matt was great at directing all of our guests to where they needed to be and he made sure he got the shots i had requested as well as the scenes which drew us to him in the first place. We were absolutely amazed when we got the pictures through and would recommend Creating Diamonds to absolutely everyone, we cannot thank them enough for the magical images of our day that we will cherish forever.

Amazing person and photos

Matt is not only a talented photographer but he is an amazing person as well. He got along with all my guests and made them all feel comfortable. He has some incredible ideas for a photoshoot and the results were amazing as well. He blew our minds with the photos! Also, he made us feel super comfortable while taking the pictures, which for us was something important as well.
