OVERVIEW

Love Among Other Things creates wedding photography that feels as real as it is beautiful. With a cinematic approach and an eye for honest moments, the focus is on capturing the energy of the day in a way that looks polished, but never staged.
From calm morning prep to the chaos of the dance floor, we document the moments that matter: the big celebrations, the in-between glances, and the small details that make a wedding feel unmistakably yours. 

The style is romantic, timeless, and natural — guided when helpful, and hands-off when the moment is already perfect. The result is imagery that feels effortless, emotionally true, and made to last.

About

I believe the best photos happen when you forget the camera is there. That’s where I come in. I help you settle in, breathe, feel like yourselves, and actually enjoy the moment. Once that happens, the real connection shows up — the way you look at each other, the inside jokes, the little gestures only the two of you would notice.

FAQ

Most packages are turned around within 2-3 weeks of the wedding for just images only, but printing can take 2-3 months depending on how speedy  selections are finalised and issued to the print house

No problems, we can run you through what typically gets taken on the day and give you an idea, but of course we can find out what matters to you the most, and make sure that we capture it on the day!

My wife insists that its because of my proximity to her and has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.

Matt at love among other things photographed our civil ceremony at treasury hall and I could not fault anything! He was amazing, made us feel comfortable, helped us pose and took the time to get to know us leading up to the event! He got the photos to us super quick and was easy to communicate with. The photos are amazing and I couldn’t have asked for better!

We cannot recommend Matt highly enough! From the moment he arrived, he was absolutely amazing to work with and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. He clearly put in the work beforehand, scouting the perfect locations to ensure every shot was stunning. Matt gave us just the right amount of direction to capture those incredible, breath-taking shots while still keeping everything feeling natural and fun. To top it all off, he sent through a sneak peek the very next day, and we were completely blown away by the quality. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and easy to be around, Matt is your guy!

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. I found Long Among Other Things after my original photographer cancelled just a few months before our wedding, and from the very first conversation Matt completely put me at ease. He walked me through the entire process leading up to the day and was incredibly organised, reassuring, and easy to communicate with. On the day, Matt was calm, professional, and so lovely to have around. He captured everything so naturally and made us feel comfortable the entire time, even during moments that could have felt stressful. The photos are absolutely beautiful and perfectly reflect the emotion and atmosphere of our day. I am so grateful we found Long Among Other Things and cannot recommend Matt highly enough to anyone looking for a talented, genuine, and thoughtful photographer.
