OVERVIEW
There’s a certain kind of magic that happens on a wedding day — the brush of hands, the laughter that lingers, the quiet, stolen glances when no one’s watching. That’s what I capture.
I’m Matthew Parkes, the heart and eye behind Love Among Other Things. I create imagery that feels alive — luminous, cinematic, and full of emotion. From the soft light spilling through morning windows to the wild joy of the dance floor, I’m there to tell your story the way it truly felt — in photographs, on film, and from above with sweeping drone perspectives that bring it all to life.
If you’re drawn to timeless images and heartfelt storytelling, my work blends beauty with honesty — romantic without being posed, natural without being ordinary. Every frame is designed to make you feel the moment again — the warmth, the chaos, the calm.
What it’s like working with Love Among Other Things
Photography and film that move you.
Every image and every frame is crafted with feeling — a living, breathing reflection of your day. Clean, crisp tones meet genuine emotion to create art that endures.
Relaxed, creative energy.
No awkward posing or forced smiles. I’ll guide when needed, step back when the moment unfolds, and make sure you feel completely at ease. It’s fun, it’s real, and it’s yours.
Aerial and cinematic storytelling.
Drone footage adds a sense of scale and poetry — the landscape, the architecture, the moment seen in full. It’s the perfect complement to the intimacy on the ground.
Tailor-made, every time.
Every couple, every celebration is different. I’ll work with you to design a photo and film package that fits your rhythm, your people, and your story.

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.
