2015 // Weddings // Retrospective
Another crazy crazy year. From Peckham to Santorini. Chasing light. Chasing stories. Still pinching myself that this is my job. How something this exciting and exhilarating can actually pay the bills.
I wanted to dedicate this years round up solely to the people. The Brides, Grooms, Couples, Guests, Families, Photobombers and Kids who have done what they do best in front of my lens….be Themselves!
I have been lucky enough to shoot some AMAZING venues and beautiful details throughout the year BUT all of my favourites contain a face, a character, a heartbeat. And most importantly an ENERGY! An energy that I think photos solely of “stuff” or “places” always seem to lack.
Whether it be dad keeping busy/filling the dishwasher during bridal prep, the mum’s sharing a sneaky fag/giggle outside the church, dancing uncle Bobs, emotional aunty Maureens, misbehaving grans/kids/dogs/veils, passers by (passing by), onlookers (on looking), bridesmaids taking *another* selfie, ushers doing very little ushering, the high fives, the fist pumps, the little glances and stolen kisses. IT ALL MATTERS.
A huge huge thank you to every couple who invited me along and trusted me to capture their biggest day.
*Beardy kiss*
So thats it. Another Year DONE! Feel free to leave me a comment below and thank you to everybody who follows, shares and comments on my work. I loves you all!
And if you are a couple planning a 2017 wedding OR an upcoming photographer interested in mentoring then give me a shout and lets chat!

WOW! Sensational round up on one epic year! Stunning work Matt.
Really beautiful set of images Matt, absolutely killed it.
Bloody awesome! Inspirational work mate! Have a great 2016!
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that does Matty P. Seeing our joyous moments in time captured amongst those that belong to strangers, being able to share the trepidation, elation and happiness within each image that we all felt on our day is a special privilege. Thank you X
Edgy, cool and full of emotion. What better combination could you ask for in a collection of images. Congratulations on an awesome year and I look forward to seeing more in 2016!
Your style is so edgy and unique. Just damn cool images in this post!
I love your work Matt – this is amazing.
Stunning collection Matt, just mindblowingly awesome images. Love, love, love your work!
When you can’t actually put the feelings that you are feeling into words…
This isn’t wedding photography – it is art.
Cooler than a crate of cucumbers. Utterly compelling and brilliant work Mr Parry!
All Killer, not one fucking filler! I love these Jazz Cat. That candy floss picture is ace.
Such a cool combo of street and wedding, which you totally nail dude. Totally. Such interesting, visually compelling frames. Awesome stuff.
Mr Parry… you knocked this shit outta the park!
Wonderful Matt
Love this mate. Really impressive set of images. Both your b&w’s and colour are spot on!
Matt, thank you for helping us relive all the memories in the most beautiful way. You captured us, our friends & family, and the Cotswolds with the best mix of style and empathy, for which we are deeply appreciative.
These are ace! So atmospheric and vibrant. Brilliant stuff.
Stunning collection of images! Especially drawn to the b/w young boy by the car. Fantastic.
