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!

I was born and raised in the Yarra Valley and spent my childhood playing Super Mario and kicking the footy in the street. I still live in the Yarra Valley and I love spending time photographing areas in and around my hometown. I’m married to my wonderful wife Emily with whom I have two beautiful kids, Finn and Grace. I am very passionate about photography and love working together to capture the special moments in life. I do my best make being photographed a comfortable experience so that you have images to cherish for a lifetime. I love getting the chance to immerse myself in the romance and magic of a wedding and in doing so I will capture the story of the day in a relaxed, natural and fun way.
