About Me

I have been passionate about photography since I was 16 years old, when I bought my first Canon SLR film camera. Over the years I combined this passion with my love of travelling, taking beautiful photographs of my trips around the world. Upon 'going digital' in the 2000's I began to explore portrait photography and was always being asked to bring my camera along to weddings and parties of friends and family. People began to comment upon the professional quality of my work and encouraged me to pursue it further. Feeling inspired, I got involved with studio portrait workshops and found that I had a natural ability to connect with people, making them feel relaxed in front of the camera and getting fantastic images.

In 2014 I co-founded Photolux Limited, a successful event photography business concentrating upon school proms. It is through my work with Photolux that I have gained opportunities to explore wedding and family photography, something that I now offer independently through Matt Allen Photography.

You will find that I am a warm, relaxed and approachable person, always working with the utmost professionalism. Quality is at the heart of everything that I do and I will not settle for anything that is less than what I would expect to receive myself. I am passionate about photography and this shows through in the images that I capture. I would be honoured to have the opportunity to work with you, be it capturing your special day or a precious moment in time.
