Now and Forever Photography

At Now and Forever Photography we take natural shots that capture the essence of your special day.

Now and Forever photography is me, Matt Parashis and I would love to be a part of your big day. I’m a Yarra Valley local and for the better part of the last 10 years, I’ve captured the most important moments and memories for many, many couples. I specialise in taking the stress away from your wedding day and I’ll make sure you have fun and a laugh while we capture those special wedding moments. I

make being photographed a comfortable and fun experience so that you have images to cherish for a lifetime. If I’m lucky enough to be your wedding photographer I promise to take the stress and awkwardness away from being in front of the camera. I make sure I’m more than just a guy who knows how to take photos, I’ll be your mate, the guy who dances awkwardly, says silly things to make you laugh and who’ll make sure your day is extra perfect. The best bits of your wedding will happen naturally as you’ll be being photographed by a friend, who you know well and just so happens to be there with a few cameras. I’ll capture all those unforgettable moments on your big day and we’ll have fun doing it!

Hi friends! It’s been a long while since I’ve popped up a photo of me and in the last 12 months I’ve gained a bunch of new followers, shot a whole heap of amazing weddings, and done some amazing things!

So, for everyone whom I haven’t met yet, I can’t wait to catch up in person and hear all about your wedding days, but for now…⁠
⁠
Hi, I’m Matt, a wedding photographer from the Yarra Valley and I LOVE getting to be a small part of people’s big days.

I believe the best photos aren’t just seen — they’re felt.

They’re the weight of a hand in yours, a glance across a crowded room, the quiet between words. They’re the sparks that fly when love and laughter linger in the air.

I started Now and Forever Wedding Photography not just to capture how a wedding day looks, but how it feels — in gestures, glances, and perfect moments.

Most of the couples I work with tell me they’re nervous in front of the camera. That’s okay. You don’t have to perform. You just have to be. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when not, and together we’ll create something that feels effortless — something true to you and true to your wedding day.

When I’m not photographing, I’m usually somewhere with a coffee in hand, adding to my ever-growing collection of vintage cameras, or watching Back to the Future for the hundredth time.

If you’re looking for wedding photos that don’t just freeze a moment, but take you back to it — I’d love to tell your story.

A massive thank you to Tim from .in.time.films for taking these awesome photos of me, for Janine at for letting me run a muck at her amazing venue and to Lynne from for her amazing work on the florals. It was such a fun day!

I was born and raised in the Yarra Valley and love spending time photographing areas in and around my hometown. I am very passionate about photography and love working together to capture the special moments in life.
