About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: May 2025

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.

The best photographer we could have asked for

Matt shot our weddings, we had a Hindu wedding and a civil wedding. It was more than just capturing a shot for matt, it was capturing the moment, capturing our personalities. He got to know us prior to the weddings so it felt like he knew exactly what shots to take. He also ran through each day with us in detail to make sure not stones were left unturned. The picture quality was outstanding. It’s been so lovely to be able to re-live the days through the photos Matt took. We will definitely be using him again for any other functions we may have. Thank you so much Matt!

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 .

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.

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

Matt is absolutely wonderful!

We started chatting with a person at a photographers booth at a bridal show. Both my partner and I loved the unique style of the photographs. As we spoke, we realised we were talking to the photographer himself! Matt is absolutely lovely! Kind, down-to-earth, and up for anything. We first did our engagement shoot with him. We hired a black cab and went all over central London. He captured some amazing shots.
He also covered our rehearsal dinner and finally our wedding. We were blown away by his photos! Matt (and his crew) blend seamlessly into the background, and somehow manage to capture everything on the day. He has a super calm demeanour, a great sense of humour and I would 100% recommend him! Thanks again for capturing one of the most important times of our lives!

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

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.

Outstanding - thank you!

We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so special and memorable! Your patience, professionalism, and attention to detail went above and beyond - outstanding in every aspect!

The photos of our three ceremonies, the dinner and evening entertainment are just out of this world - they beautifully capture the joy and soul of the occasion! So many of our family have commented on the artistry and magic of your photos and how they tell a story - we could not be happier with the results, testament to your brilliance as a photographer! Our heartfelt thanks again Matt!

A* Photographer - BOOK!!

"From the very first interaction with Matt to waving him goodbye from our wedding his communication, passion and care for us has been second to none. If you're looking for a photographer who can not only nail the photography but is genuine and wanting to provide an efficient, stress-free service with a smile - Creating Diamonds is the one. I can't thank Matt and Iain enough for the fantastic photos they captured from our wedding, they put 110% into the full day going above and beyond our expectations. It was a difficult decision to decide whether to have a videographer as well but I'm glad we didn't because the quality and number of images Matt has provided are more than sufficient to capture the essence of the full day. You smashed it and hands down our favourite supplier, we're so very grateful for you both travelling to Spain to work on our wedding - thank you! I can't recommend your service enough."

Amazing! Would Definitely Recommend

We would 100% recommend Creating Diamonds for a wedding day. Matt and his team captured really lovely moments on our wedding day and we were so happy with our photos, so many people mentioned how stunning they are. They were also great to have about on our wedding day, they weren't intrusive and were really nice guys. It's always hard choosing a photographer as you want to make sure your day is captured the best way it can be, we were definitely not disappointed with our choice and were please we were recommended Matt.

Highly recommend

Matt was super efficient from start to end. He met with us on 3 occasions either in person or on zoom to ensure he understand our requirements. As the wedding was in London, we wanted the photos to show we were in London without the usual tourist haunts. Matt and Ian were able to find multiple shots a stones throw from our venue and has really captured our special day with some fantastic photos with London in the background. We also didn’t want many posed photos but they captured the day and our friends and family brilliantly enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Matt for anyone looking for a photographer. We cant stop looking at the photos and reminiscing about the day!

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!
