Matt Allen Photography Reviews 

We met Matt and Joy 3 years ago at a wedding fair and we’re so glad we did, both of them took their time to talk to us and go through what they offer and what we was looking for, before we even got home we knew was going to book them instantly.

We’ve just received our wedding gallery back and wow the photos are everything and more, going thought them we was reliving the wedding day again, Matt and Joy both made us feel so at ease throughout the whole day.

We would 100% be recommending Matt and Joy to anyone getting married, their reasonable priced and the photos you receive are amazing!

We honestly couldn’t recommend our wedding photographers enough! The photos are absolutely beautiful and they captured our day perfectly. 📸❤️

From the very beginning, they were so helpful and offered us lots of advice, which made the whole process feel so much easier. You could tell straight away that they were incredibly experienced, but they were never pushy or made us feel pressured into anything. We had both Matt and Joy, both of which were fantastic with my small children too which was a big thing for us.

They genuinely went above and beyond for us, and we were so surprised (and delighted!) by how many photos we received — there were even more than we expected! Every photo brought back so many lovely memories of the day.

We’re so grateful to have these beautiful photos to look back on and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you so much for everything! 🤍

Matt & Joy were amazing from start to finish! Having met them at a wedding fair, we felt completely at ease from the start and could really see the passion for what they do. On the day they helped ensure everything ran seamlessly and they blended so well to capture the amazing candid moments. At no points during the day did we ever feel that we had to be anything but our true authentic selves. The photos are absolutely beautiful and have received so many compliments already. We truly cannot thank you both enough for everything!

I wouldnt even know where to begin with Matt and Joy. They are just out of this world, I posted on Facebook for a photographer and it was joy to messaged me and it went to my spam. Out of everyone she was the only one who said congratulations, how are you, and that just started it for me. We met In person and I fell in love with them, they was so genuine, funny, easy to talk to and booked them within the week. We had a zoom meeting to go over everything, and then the day of our wedding came. Everyone at our wedding has commented on how brilliantly beautiful the pair was. What a duo. We laughed with them, even joy helped me get in my dress, was sorting my hair out, my dress has a mishap, and she quickly sorted it out. Matt with all the blokes was brilliant to watch. It’s just a second nature. 10 hours they spent at our wedding and nothing was ever to much for them, they was literally like one of our guest you wouldn’t of known any different, barely noticed they was around just doing their thing. If I could do the day again with them I would in a heart beat.

Joy and Matt, what you do is incredible I can’t thank you enough, I enjoyed having you as a part of our day. Thank you both so much. love Amijane & Tom

We were looking for a very relaxed photography experience but still wanted gorgeous images. Honestly we can't recommend Matt enough, he was so incredibly easy to work with and the images are stunning. Everyone has commented on what an amazing job he did and we will absolutely cherish the photos for many years to come. We had a very intimate and relaxed wedding, Matt took the time to have a consulatation beforehand so we both felt comfortable about what would happen on the day and prepped our list of shots, it made the day so smooth. Personally the idea of taking staged photos infront of family and friends definitely brings on feelings of dread, however Matt is so warm and easy to work with, it felt completely natural. A huge thanks to Matt and if you're in any doubt we couldn't recommend him enough.

We booked Matt Allen to take all of our wedding photos at the Manor house in Quorn it was one of the best things we did.Matt and his wife spent all day with us and our guests from around 10am till 9pm and what a job they did,friendly,professional they did us proud.We have looked at some of the photos already and they are truly stunning and captured all the joy of our special day.If you need a photographer for your special day book Matt and his wife Joy,we are glad we did.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Matt & Joy. They captured our wedding day so beautifully, every single image is full of emotion, detail, and memories we’ll treasure forever. Looking through our gallery genuinely felt like reliving the day.

From the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. They’re such a lovely couple, easy‑going, funny, welcoming, and they instantly felt like people we’d known for years. Even in our pre‑wedding meeting, it didn’t feel like a first introduction. On the day itself, they went at our pace, never rushed us, and blended into the flow of everything so naturally.

Their communication throughout was brilliant, and the turnaround time for our photos was quicker than we ever expected. They gave us everything we hoped for and somehow even more.

We honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, genuine, and a joy to have around on your wedding day, Matt & Joy are exactly that.

Where do I even begin!? Choosing Matt & Joy to capture our wedding day was genuinely one of the best decisions we could have made💗

From the very first conversation, they made us feel completely at ease. They are not only incredibly talented photographers but two of the kindest, warmest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet!

On the day itself, they were calm, caring, organised and so effortlessly efficient😍
They blended into the background when they needed to yet somehow captured every laugh, every tear, every hug and every little moment that made our day so special💗

When we received our gallery, we were completely and utterly overwhelmed with emotion. Looking through our photos felt like reliving the happiest day of our lives all over again💗

I honestly cannot recommend Matt and Joy highly enough. They are worth every single penny and so much more!! If you’re wondering whether to book them, just do it. It’s an investment you’ll never regret!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are beyond elated that we chose you to capture our special day✨

We couldn’t be happier with Matt & Joy! From our very first conversation, they were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. On the day, they captured every special moment so naturally without ever feeling intrusive.

The photos are absolutely stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. They perfectly captured the emotions, laughter, and little details that made our day so memorable. We’ve had so many compliments from our family and friends, and we’ll treasure these photos forever.

The whole experience, from communication before the wedding to receiving our final gallery, was seamless and stress-free. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely lovely wedding photographers. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

We couldn’t have chosen a better wedding photographer! From when we first met Matt at a wedding fayre at our venue, through to our online consultation and the big day, the service Matt provided was amazing. He made us feel so at ease with regular email updates right from the day of booking to the day we received our photos.

He captured our day perfectly, going above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. All of our guests said how friendly and helpful he was, and he was a joy to have as part of our day. Matt took all the photos we discussed and more, capturing those special candid shots of us and guests and also trying out new shots, which came out amazing!

Most importantly Matt was able to work his magic on the photos of my Gran who was very ill at the wedding, editing out her medical equipment to my request at no extra cost, and as she has since passed away since the wedding, this has given the family some beautiful memories of her.

We received a few sneak peak photos the day after the wedding, which were great to share with family whilst we waited for our full gallery.

We also chose the option to add on the Photo Booth, which was one of the highlights of the evening. All our guests enjoyed using it and the props provided were great!

If you are looking for amazing photographers, look no further. My husband and I can’t speak highly enough of Matt and his lovely wife Joy. What an incredible team they are. They truly made our day special from start to finish. They are not just photographers doing a job, they truly care and want to make your day special. They strive to capture the best shots, memories, moments. Our photos are so natural. All of our guests commented how fantastic Matt and Joy were.
We received our photos a couple of weeks ago, and were completely in awe of every single photo taken. They captured our day perfectly and we will be forever thankful .

From first meeting Matt at a wedding fayre, to the planning meeting, the wedding day and through to receiving our amazing photos the whole experience has been perfect beyond words.

Matt has been the consummate professional who has shared his skill and experience without being, in any way, over powering. Many of our guests commented that they often did not know he was there which is a true reflection of how empathetic and respectful he is as a person and a photographer.

He made us feel really special on our day, putting everyone at ease and constantly looking for the next incredible photo.

The quality of his work was faultless. When we got our album we spent over two hours looking at every photo, remembering our perfect day. The composition and processing was first rate. Matt made amazing use of every part of the hotel grounds and the light as the day progressed. We have a fantastic set of both formal and candid photos which really tell the story of the day from start to finish.

We would not hesitate in recommending Matt to anyone who wanted a first class, professional and skilful photographer who so happens to be a really nice guy as well. You will not be disappointed.

Choosing Matt and Joy as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. Our wedding photography was something that was really important to us. When we first met Matt and Joy at a wedding fayre not only did we love their work but they are also two of the nicest people you could meet. Matt is really great at communicating and he put together a timeline to ensure we got all the photos we requested. They were an absolute pleasure to have with us all day, I’m not great at posing for photos but they put me totally at ease. We’ve just received our gallery and they have captured our day beautifully. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day!

We honestly could not have chosen better photographers for our wedding than Matt and Joy. From the very beginning, when we first met with them to discuss what we wanted from our day, they listened to absolutely everything and completely understood our vision. Nothing felt forced or generic — they genuinely cared about making sure our photos reflected us as a couple and the atmosphere we wanted for the day.

On the wedding day itself, they were both incredible. Not only did they capture the most beautiful photos, but they went above and beyond in so many ways that people don’t always see behind the scenes. Joy was amazing helping me throughout the day — from holding my dress up to even helping me change my shoes — and both of them made us feel so calm, comfortable, and relaxed the entire time.

They were also so patient with our dog Lucy while taking her photos, especially when she was being a complete princess and refusing to stay still for the pictures! They handled everything so calmly and managed to capture the most gorgeous photos of her that we’ll treasure forever.

The photos themselves are honestly beyond anything we could have imagined. They captured every emotion, every little detail, and so many special moments that we’ll treasure forever. Everyone we have shown the photos to has said how incredible they are and so many people have already said they would use and recommend Matt and Joy themselves after seeing our pictures.

We were also absolutely blown away by how quickly we received everything back. We got some beautiful teaser photos the very next day, which was so special after such an emotional whirlwind, and then our full gallery arrived only 5 days later — which is unbelievable considering the quality and amount of photos we received.

Matt and Joy are not only unbelievably talented photographers, but genuinely lovely people too, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day. If you are considering booking them for your wedding — do it. It was one of the best decisions we made and we are beyond grateful for memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly ❤️

Matt and Joy provided an absolutely incredible service on our wedding day and made us and our guests feel so comfortable - we absolutely love our photos and the turnaround was so quick! We can’t thank them enough and had such a nice time meeting them!

If anyone is considering having 2 photographers we cannot recommend this enough - it captured the entirety of our day and really went above and beyond our expectations! 😊

We first met Matt at the Wedding fayre of our chosen venue. He was helpful and friendly from the first hello. A lot of photographers can be too focused on the bride only but Matt treated us as future bride and groom equally and respectfully. We loved looking at Matt's work from previous weddings at the fayre as well as on Instagram so we knew he was the perfect choice.
Matt communicated through email in the lead up to the wedding as well as meeting in person to discuss final details 2 weeks before.
On our wedding day, Matt arrived promptly and even though we were both very relaxed, made us feel even more at ease, especially as it was a brand new experience to be in front of the camera. He spent time taking photos of our venue and decorations, as well as staged and candid photos and our parents. A lot of photographers focus on the guests however Matt purely focused on us. There is the option for Matt's Wife and photography partner to be there too to take guest photos as well but as we were having a videographer too, we didn't feel that we needed this option for 2 photographers. Matt took lots of photos outside of us in different settings and tried some new photography shots as well. Matt is extremely professional, easy to talk to and a fantastic individual whose love of photography and capturing the happy couple shone through.
Matt sent through some sneak peak photos the day after our wedding and created our gallery within a week so was exciting a week after our wedding to enjoy a glass of Asti whilst looking through our wedding photos as husband and wife.
5 star, 10/10 recommend Matt for your wedding.

Matt and Joy are incredibly talented. We was more than pleased with our wedding photos, they was absolutely amazing.
Matt and Joy are such lovely, funny people and so down to earth. They are so knowledgeable about what they do and so professional but also up for a laugh. Booking matt and Joy for our wedding was the best thing that we did.

Matt and Joy captured our wedding day perfectly, our pictures truly tell a story of the wonderful day we had. They both made us feel at ease and comfortable and staggered the pictures throughout the day which then gave us an opportunity to spend time together as a couple and take in the day.
Family and friends have complimented the photos and shared how well they captured us and the day.

Matt and Joy made our wedding experience incredible! They both made us feel comfortable, listens to the style of photos and ideas we were after and were so helpful with little jobs along the wedding day! Their communication on the lead up to the wedding was fantastic easing any stress and helping the wedding planning process. On the day both Matt and joy took gorgeous photos we will treasure for ever! We could not recommend a friendly, warm and professional company more!

Matt and Joy made the process of wedding photos simple. From first booking to on the day, they were easy to work with. Having Joy as a second photographer was a fantastic decision, not only are her photos great, but they worked really well together to put us at ease. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer.
