As I approach the end of each year photographically I start to think about this post…….that’s kinda sad isn’t it???
Firstly I take stock of where I have been, who I captured and what I will write (again, total saddo!!!)
This year, at my last wedding, with literally my last shot (below) it all became clear. THIS MUST BE THE PLACE!!
Finally after 7 years of working at 100 mph and not really slowing to consider any kind of “style” or “voice” it kind of all, and excuse the pun, clicked.
2018 WAS the place! (thanks to Sam, Vicki and Dave for letting me plagiarise your neon/lyric)
Maybe it was because I had more time travelling/thinking/bored in airports than ever before, or because I taught a workshop for the first time BUT whatever the reason it just became clear!
I won’t try and vocalise it but simply show you 100 images that I think define what I do and what I love! Images that hopefully make me stand out from the crowd.
I am starting to sound waaay to serious/pompous/tw8tty (3 things I never want my work to be)….so I shall shut up with the waffle and let you take a look:
To all my 2018 couples, I loves ya! And to all my 2019 couples! Let’s F8cking do this!
Alternative Wedding Photography // London Wedding Photographer // Destination Wedding Photographer
So if you got this far, thank you! Picking just 100 images from 15,545 delivered and God knows how many shutters clicked ain’t easy so I didn’t even attempt to pick my “best” and instead went for the more unexpected and hopefully defining images! Hope you liked them?
And if I still have your attention feel free to share this with anybody you know getting married. Still spaces in 2019 and my 2020 diary is now fully open! contact me by clicking HERE
FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHERS whilst I am in this brief zen like state of clarity I am seriously considering putting on another workshop to help me share and focus for the season ahead. I have a few ideas and dates in mind so email me for a bit more info! (or by clicking HERE)
Still here? Then any comments always make me smile x x
Hugs. High 5’s and Handshakes

Matt, we still just can’t get enough of the insane photos you took of our wedding. We will treasure them forever, and you captured our day even more amazingly than we could have imagined!
Hope 2019 is an awesome year,
Isobel & Jeremy x
OH hey I+J thats made my day. Such a lovely thing to say and I hope you both have a great 2019 x
Smashed it mate! Really love the 5th image and the group shot with the kid in the middle.
Cheers Man. Lets hit Dishoom again SOOOOON
Man, you have a totally unique eye. Mixing portraits (obv your group shots are on another level), with amazing documentary stuff. Love the dog at the top table 🙂 🙂 Bride / bridesmaids with umbrellas, beautiful! Pigeon head, perfect!! Awesome stuff dude!
Thanks buddy..coming from you that all means a lot!
I look forward to this every single year, and every single year you fucking nail it.
Adore!
Thanks C..and it was so good to grab a hug and catch up last week x
Wow. Wow. Wow. Just Incredible Matt! What a year! We lovedddd having you capture our wedding and were blown away with every single one of our photos. That pool, that sunset and Argo, that cheeky little dog.
Cheers Guys! It was such a great few days in such a beautiful place! And how could I have left Argo out!!!
I’ve been a fan of your work for so many years, since I first started as you know, and you definitely do not disappoint! Fantastic!
Cheers MC! x
Ace as always dude, loving the extra grittyness this year. That couple shot with the seagull’s is cool as. Toilet seat up. ;O)
Toilet seats up FTW x
So much AWESOME! Your work always screams ALBUM COVER to me which is a compliment BTW – SO COOL ALWAYS
Doooood! The king of wedding cool smashes it out of the park yet again. Epic work my friend!
Your work is just so rock n roll man and no one but no one can emulate the way you shoot brother.
I can recognise your work anywhere and I have been a huge fan for ages, looking at this sublime collection proves why!!
BIG LOVE and hope our paths cross this year my friend!!
Parry goes and does it again!!!! I’ll leave it at that, oh, and I love you! *winky face* + *blows kiss face*
Matt – my friend – every year you deliver and this year is no exception! Excellent work – so polished but still so gritty. You have developed a style that is so distinctly Parry – the moody groups / the crazy dancefloor / the beaut portraits and your bloody excellent documentary stuff. Love ya and i’m Proud of you dude! PS good to see you sneaked your own upside down head in there
Your framing is bloody brilliant, as is your timing. Such brilliant moments; too many to mention really, but I particularly love the dancing lady and the 3 arms, the pissing dog (who wouldn’t?) the b&w umbrella bride and gang and of course Craig Charles and his trunk of funk. Stellar.
Such killer timing and so many frames on the right side of cool but without trying to hard. Love your work matey as well you know you bearded wonder!
