Matt Allen Photography

Matt Allen Photography: wedding and portrait photography in Loughborough

Matt Allen Photography is a photography studio based in Loughborough (United Kingdom) dedicated to wedding coverage and family portrait photography. Its work spans Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and nearby areas, and the photographer himself also presents himself as available to travel beyond those areas.

The studio describes its method as "adaptive": rather than pigeonholing itself into a closed style, it adjusts its way of working to each client's needs. That flexibility translates into a relaxed approach, in which it can document a wedding from a candid perspective or plan and build more elaborate images, always attending to what each couple or family wants to reflect.

Weddings: documenting the day and preparing the key images

Wedding photography is one of the studio's two main areas. Matt Allen notes that he has covered very diverse celebrations, from registry offices and small village churches to grand country houses. The service includes a prior meeting with clients, with the aim of learning about the wedding plans, understanding what they are looking for and allowing the couple to meet the photographer before the big day.

After the celebration, the studio devotes time to editing the photographs and creating albums and other artwork. To maintain that level of dedication, the photographer deliberately limits the number of weddings he accepts each year.

Family portraiture and portable studio sessions

The second area of activity is family portraiture. Matt Allen has several years of experience in this field, having started with proms and end-of-year balls photography, work he continues to do. As with weddings, he applies a flexible approach to adapt to different types of clients.

The studio offers both outdoor and indoor sessions. For indoor sessions, it has a professional, portable photo studio, compact enough to set up in the client's own home. This option is especially designed for the youngest family members, from kiddie portraits to birthday cake smash sessions.

Outdoors, the photographer highlights the variety of locations in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire as backdrops for sessions, and describes his way of working with families as a process of chatting beforehand to create a relaxed atmosphere before capturing the images.

Printed albums and service catalogue

In addition to photographic coverage, the site includes printed albums and a services and pricing page among its sections, indicating that the studio sells physical products as well as sessions. The catalogue is organised around the two main specialities: weddings and family portraits.

Wedding fayres and industry presence

The studio takes part in wedding fayres in the region. The calendar published on the site included events at the Bentley Hotel in Lincoln, the Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa in Hinckley, The Fable Yard at Whatton House in Loughborough and the Hinckley Island Hotel in Hinckley, with morning and early afternoon times. These events were presented as events with information and free tickets available.
