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.

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.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but the photographer behind Long Among Other Things consistently put us at ease from the first hello. Across conversations and planning, their organisation and clear communication gave us real confidence that the day would run smoothly. On the wedding day, a relaxed, friendly approach and thoughtful guidance helped us feel at ease while they captured natural, emotionally rich moments in beautiful light. The result is a collection of stunning, candid images delivered promptly, with a sense of place that reflects our day. A skilled, genuine photographer who offers great value and a calm, enjoyable experience.

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.

Matt did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. His communication and preparation before the event were exceptional, ensuring everything was well-organised and stress-free. On the day, his work was fantastic—he was not only flexible and accommodating but also took the lead in guiding us through pre-planned shots and locations. His professionalism and attention to detail made a huge difference, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. We very much appreciated his expertise, creativity, and the ability to enjoy and focus our wedding day, knowing he was helping us through that part of the day.
