Matt Allen Photography Reviews 

Matt was suggested by the venue and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We selected the gold package and the pre wedding meeting was really helpful in understanding how the day runs and to set out the plan for the day. Matt had some great suggestions for photos we could take and definitely put us at ease. We later upgraded to having a second photographer Matts wife Joy. The dynamic between the two and the extra pair of hands arranging shots and taking care of the wedding dress made for a really fun day. We had a really good laugh and felt supported throughout the day. They were really efficient getting the photos, taking weather and comfort into account while taking some amazing photos. As we were having a January wedding Matt and Joy had contingency plans for every potential outcome which really helped the day run smoothly and allowed us to spend time with friends and family. We could not recommend Matt and Joy enough, we have friends who attended the wedding who will be using Matt for their wedding after seeing how well they worked. Thank you for the fantastic photos and laughs along the way. L & C

What an incredible team! Matt and Joy were perfect and helped capture the best day of our family’s lives. 10000% best decision we made having them both there to capture as much of the day as possible. The 1,040 photos we received were beautiful, each and everyone of them. We had a very detailed video chat with them before that suited my partner’s busy schedule and several emails to make sure every detail that was important to us was done on the day. They were the best blend of taking control to get the best shots we haven’t thought (like the veil toss)or and blending into the background to get the candid photos we wanted. Very calming and fun presence to the day and helped in anyway they could. They also gave us the access to a very clear and easy to use galley to view them on once they were done editing them. Honestly can’t thank them enough for all their hard work.

Matt and joy were incredible throughout the entire process! From the initial booking where we sat down and went over some of their previous work to look at their photography style and ensure they were a good fit for what we were looking for, they were so friendly and eager to answer any questions we had.

We then set up a day to go to the venue together so that they could scout out good spots for candid photos and get together a plan for the order we would do things in on the day and ensure everybody was on the same page. Their communication was amazing between booking and the wedding itself, they made sure to keep in touch with myself and the venue to ensure timelines were communicated between everyone.

On the day they arrived promptly at the agreed time, took some amazing photos of all of us getting ready and then went to go and get photos of the rest of the venue all decorated. I booked a package where I had both Matt and joy there and I'm really grateful that I did as it meant we got multiple angles on all of the special moments. Myself and my husband are both quite young and haven't attended many weddings, so it was really helpful to have someone that knew what they were doing to tell us what positions to get into and find the best locations for some amazing photos. I also have my dogs there and they were amazing at getting some lovely photos of the dogs to remember the day.

All in all, I'm incredibly happy that I chose to have Matt and joy as my photographers, they were absolutely amazing, really well priced and I couldn't be happier with how the photos have come out!

Honestly phenomenal service from Matt and Joy. Matt phoned me to discuss as soon as I made an enquiry, arranged a pre wedding meeting to go over details and expectations and was so calm and clear headed on the day.

We really felt as though we got value for money. What was priceless was having someone so experienced and assuring lead us throughout the whole experience.

Matt and Joy are genuinely lovely people who were born for this job. Do not hesitate in booking them.

The only downside I can say is I can't give Matt & Joy more stars!!

Matt was incredible from the first time I met him, gave good insight, never made me feel uncomfortable and was great at communicating and being extremely understanding in some changes of my circumstances. Considering I hate my pictures being took Matt and Joy made me feel extremely comfortable and I'm so grateful for them, we have received all of our pictures (and there were lots) but truly captured our wedding day perfectly, and got all the shots we asked for, thank you both for everything we appreciate everything keep doing what your doing your both awesome x

We honestly could not have asked for better wedding photographers than Matt and Joy. They captured our day so beautifully and in such a natural, thoughtful way.

One of the things we appreciated most was how they gently took us away for short periods throughout the day. Those calm ten-minute moments away from the chaos gave us precious time together as a newly married couple and really helped us stay grounded and present.

The gallery itself was incredibly easy to navigate and such a lovely touch that our guests were given their own links to view the photos afterwards. Everything felt well thought through and genuinely centred around making the experience stress free.

Matt and Joy are just the loveliest people and a real pleasure to have around on such an important day. We would recommend them every single time without hesitation. The platinum package was also very reasonably priced for the level of care, quality and professionalism we received.

Thank you both for capturing our day so perfectly.

Absolutely amazing!!! I've looked through our wedding pics so many times :) lovely couple and really put you at ease especially if your like me and get nervous around a camera. The attention to detail is brilliant and catch things you never even think of, if you need a wedding photographer then pick Matt and Joy 😊 Thank you for making our day amazing 👏 🤩

Upon our initial encounter with Matt and Joy, it was clear they were the perfect choice for capturing our wedding moments. Their expertise and sharp attention to detail stood out immediately. The communication from the outset was excellent. Matt carefully considered our preferred style of photography and executed it flawlessly. Both Matt and Joy were attentive to the subtle details of our wedding theme and color scheme, dressing appropriately and effortlessly blending in. The resulting photographs were fantastic and delivered sooner than we expected, which was a delightful surprise. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone seeking a superb photographer for their wedding or any event that demands professional photography.

Matt and Joy were great and put us at ease on our wedding day. They listened to what we wanted, didn’t make us do shots we felt we didn’t want, and were quick at taking photos so we could be present with our guests at our wedding. The whole process before the wedding was great - Matt was super friendly, quick at getting back to any of our queries, and never put any pressure on us. On the day, Matt and Joy were a pleasure to have with us. They showed us what poses worked well and it was helpful that they could show us what to do.

We got a few photos the day after our wedding which was great to be able to show our friends and family. Now we have our whole wedding album back and wow, we love them all! Super natural, happy photos which captured our day perfectly. We’ll cherish them forever!

Thanks so much Matt and Joy!

Matt and Joy were fantastic!

My now wife and I met Matt and Joy at a wedding fair at the Marriott Hotel, Leicester. We instantly knew they were the guys we were going to book. They just felt right and filled us with so much confidence that they'd give us the best service we could get - and we weren't wrong.

During the lead up to the wedding we had a few casual chats with Matt and a final video call to confirm everything we wanted and the images we wanted to capture which was good, again filling us with confidence that Matt and Joy were going to do an outstanding job, which they did.

On the day they really helped make it run smoothly and in line with our pre planned timeline which was a massive help. They were very friendly with our guests. They took us away for couples photos every now and then which meant we got to spend more time enjoying our wedding night with our guests as opposed to leaving the party for one long slog of couple photos which we really liked.

We got the photos around 7 weeks after the wedding... They were stunning. We couldn't quite believe how many photos there was and how good they were, everybody that has seen them has commented on how good they are.

Overall, I would 100% recommend Matt and Joy to photograph your big day! They were brilliant and as people they are really amazing, they weren't like robotic photographers that were just there taking photos, the way they engaged with my wife and I it felt like we had 2 of our guests that we'd known for years taking our photos. If we were to do it again we'd certainly choose Matt Allen Photography.

I absolutely love my pictures from mine and my husbands wedding day I knew they would be good from when they were my cousins photographers but honestly im so thankful I chose Matt and Joy to be our photographers they photographed everything we needed and more !!

We cannot put into words how grateful we are for the incredible work you did on our wedding day. From the moment you arrived, you brought such calm, positive energy that made us feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. You captured every moment—big and small—with so much care, creativity, and attention to detail.

Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The laughter, the tears, the tiny glances, and the moments we were too busy to notice—you caught them all so beautifully. These pictures are more than photos; they’re memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

Thank you for going above and beyond, for being patient, for guiding us when we needed it, and for blending in so seamlessly with our family and friends. We are truly blown away by your talent and your heart. Choosing you as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made.

We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Michelle & Scott Simpson

We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding photographer! From the very beginning, Matt was in constant communication with us, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted and offering his expert advice along the way. On the day of the wedding, he was nothing short of fantastic — professional yet personable, and always making sure we got all the photos we dreamed of while also capturing the most beautiful, spontaneous moments. The final photos were absolutely stunning, perfectly capturing the essence of our day. Every shot was a work of art! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such an important day. Highly recommend!

We used Matt Allen photography for our wedding day. We had an initial phone call followed by a meeting face to face and from the first day we met and throughout the wedding day we felt at ease. We can’t fault Matt and Joys work and their kindness. It was important for us to have natural shots and our day was captured perfectly as we asked. Our photos are beautiful and created in a timely manner…we are so happy with the final photos! I would recommend Matt to anyone for their wedding day!!

We had the best experience with Matt & Joy as our wedding photographers. We first met them at a wedding fair and booked them straight away as we loved their photos and their overall demeanour. Matt answered any questions we had during the lead up to the wedding and made sure he knew what we wanted. On the day Matt & Joy blended in well with our guests and made everyone feel at ease. Nothing was too much and they had great banter with everyone! They both also gave me and my bridesmaids great support during the getting ready process (which was quite stressful with 7 bridesmaids and 2 young flower girls!) When we received our photos we were over the moon with them! They were beautifully edited and I can’t stop looking at them! Everyone was so impressed my friend has even booked them for her wedding next year! Thank you so much Matt & Joy, couldn’t recommend enough!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! From the very beginning, Matt was so helpful - even going out of his way to update us about an issue with our venue after speaking to a registrar at another wedding. He kept in touch regularly and made sure we were fully informed in the run-up to the day, and the pre-wedding call was fantastic for helping us feel prepared and relaxed.

On the day itself, Matt immediately put us at ease. His familiarity with the venue really showed - he guided us through what to expect and had so many lovely ideas for shots. We’re both quite socially awkward and hate being the centre of attention, but he made everything feel completely natural and fun. He was also incredibly kind and patient with our daughter, getting her involved in the photos - she absolutely loved him! She even photographed him later on, on our instax camera, for a full circle moment!

Even though we had a small wedding and only booked him for a short time, Matt never made us feel rushed or less important. The photos are absolutely stunning — we’ll treasure them forever.

We would happily recommend Matt to anyone looking for a photographer who is professional, caring, and genuinely brilliant at what he does.

Matt and Joy were lovely to work with. They were flexible and energetic and enthusiastic. The pictures came out great, they were thorough and really caught the magic of the day.
Highly recommend.

Matt was wonderful start to finish, his attention to detail made our pictures so beautiful. Great to work with and always made sure to update us with everything. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

We have just received our photo gallery from our Wedding where we had the pleasure of Matt and Joy capturing our special day. We are overwhelmed with the amount of detail captured throughout the entire day, its like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't be happier with the photos! Both were super friendly, smooth booking process, very helpful in the run up to our day and absolutely went above and beyond helping to get us all ready on time on the day too. Highly recommended for your Wedding Day when looking for an amazing photographer.

100% recommend Matt. We had a great experience with both Matt and Joy at our wedding back in August. From the initial meeting they listened to what we wanted and took on board everything we said. They were so easy to chat to, made us feel comfortable and were very knowledgable and dedicated to getting the best photos. They were also a great laugh and I loved how they demonstrated with each other to show us how to pose and made the whole experience fun and light hearted. We had a lot of positive comments from our guests about Matt and Joy and now that we have just received the photos we are even more happy that we chose them. If you want a down to earth photographer who will put you and your guests at ease, choose Matt!
Thank you both for a great experience.
