25.01.2022 Its the boys turn now! Given my previous work history I can usually get a read on most people straight away. Birds of a feather so to speak. When I rolled up and saw Karl's groomsman I knew that I wouldn't have to work to hard to get Karl to smile. The banter between these guys... Well it was just next level. I cant repeat here what was getting said but it didn't take much for them to get old Karl to start laughing #matthewallenphotography #townsvilleweddingphotographer #weddingphotographertownsville #townsvillewedding #townsvilleportraitphotographer #townsvillephotographer #townsvilleweddings

24.01.2022 Yesterday was special, it had it all to be honest. The light, the fun, the antics from the Bridal party & also what some might say was the occasional roast from the photographer. Sadly Tanni & Brad couldn't have a lot of their guests at the wedding due to the border restrictions but we look forward to sharing more moments so friends and family can see the amount of love and joy the couple had on the big day. Many thanks to: The beautiful couple & guest Tanni & Brad ...

But we'll tell you what, we are looking forward to capturing many more very soon! #matthewallenphotography #townsvilleweddingphotographer #weddingphotographertownsville #townsvillewedding #townsvilleportraitphotographer #townsvillephotographer #townsvilleweddings

23.01.2022 Tag away! Or come along and say hello! We will be running a special just for the expo and also a competition for a free engagement shoot!

20.01.2022 " Chris and I wanted to express our gratitude to you both. We knew the photos were going to be amazing, but we were blown away when we opened the parcel yesterday. Matty, you have captured our family perfectly - we can sense the personalities of our kids as well as the love we share for each other in each and every one. The special gift for both Chris & I took us by surprise and reduced us both to tears. As you know, photos are very precious to us and we are so grateful that... we have these beautiful photos to cherish forever" These are the beautiful words we received after delivering Shari & Chris's family session in print! Like it used to be! Like we want it to be from now on. We don't deliver just digital images we want our beautiful families to have a full experience with us. We want a fuss free afternoon with you and the family to capture some beautiful family portraits and then spend the rest of the afternoon capturing your kids in their natural environment (Even if its being yelled at by mum and dad like it was for our portraits earlier this year) Let them run through the park, along the beach, playing on the swings just enjoy being kids. Let me capture these fleeting moments today then hang them in your home for years to come.

20.01.2022 We have the pleasure of capturing Janadeepan & Lizayini's big day. This is a little different to the weddings I have captured before and I am loving every minute of it. We haven't even got to the wedding day yet and there has been so much to document. This couple along with friends have been great about explaining traditions to me as we go along.

20.01.2022 A beautiful black embossed gift box is on its way to these two beautiful people today! If that's not exciting enough a hand made wedding album is not too far behind. Shelley & Will #townsvilleweddingphotographer #inghamweddingphotographer #lucinda #Townsville #ingham

19.01.2022 Something I love about family sessions is learning about the family in front of my camera. Joanne & Gary actually tied the knot right in front of this beautiful tree in Queens gardens many years ago. So we guess it makes sense to update the family photos in the same place with their fun loving children Abigail & Elliot. With Elliot's fascination with dinosaurs and Abi's love of fairy's it really made for a fun afternoon of exploring the park! ... Need to update the family portraits and want to hang some beautiful wall art in your home from the afternoon session with us?? Send us a Pm. We would love to help you out!

19.01.2022 Tanni & Bradley picked up their wedding images tonight and we had a lovely afternoon reminiscing about the big day. For me the talking point was the night. I love astro-photography and I love weddings and I love it even more when I can join the two together. I could have smashed out a full panoramic shot with 3 images blended together but I wont. I wanted to keep it simple. I wanted this beautiful couple to remember this shot as it happen. And mostly I want to be honest with ...you. So here is the back story of this shot I could feed you guys a romantic quote I googled, copied and pasted or I can tell you how it really went down. It was dark and the grass was wet as the dew had set in. "OMG What was that" Tanni said in a slightly alerted tone. "Just a frog" Bradley reassured her. "They don't eat much" said the cheeky photographer I had taken away the grooms rum can (which in all honesty I felt bad about considering Bradley like rum about as much as I do) & I had dragged this couple over to a corner of The Farm that was pitch black. I snapped away and within 10 mins I had what I had and I was excited to get home to see how this would work out. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

18.01.2022 We live in a quiet little suburb North of Townsville, Bushland Beach. The one thing I love out here are the afternoons, the light is amazing and we have so many special spots that we love to take families. Time to update the family photos with some wall art? Reach out! Lets create something special for you and the place you call home. Candace Rooke

17.01.2022 The Barnham's blog is now live! Take a look at this beautiful family.

17.01.2022 A simple silhouette during a beautiful moment for Jamee & Jonathan. This is in reality the moment most couples have been waiting for, for a long time. Surrounded by family and friends in a little white chapel these two got to seal the deal with a kiss that's been a long time coming and I was so happy to be there to capture the moment.

17.01.2022 It's a great time of year for a family shoot in the late afternoon at the many beautiful gardens or beaches of Townsville. For a fun afternoon out with us reach out, we would love to capture you and your family one afternoon and supply you with beautiful wall art for you to admire for years to come.

16.01.2022 Come out and say hello to us and many other wonderful vendors! check out Prestige Estate

15.01.2022 I was always told you can learn plenty from a persons hands. This particular wedding was so special and so unique for me. I was so keen to get involved with everything about this wedding, I did so much research into Hindu wedding’s. It’s not something that happens every weekend in Townsville but I’m sure glad to be part of a first for this Townsville Temple.

14.01.2022 The boys getting ready... it's a group effort. Luckily though these guys were all to keen to suit up. #matthewallenphotography #townsvilleweddingphotographer #weddingphotographertownsville #townsvillewedding #townsvilleportraitphotographer #townsvillephotographer #townsvilleweddings

14.01.2022 We absolutely love vibrant colours in our work but sometimes it's that classic black and white that really makes the image pop! The Farm Plumeria Road

13.01.2022 Sitting among the many stunning locations of Magnetic Island is a little spot I know that spreads amazing light with a stunning back drop. All we needed was the glowing Abby to complete the scene. And she did it effortlessly.

13.01.2022 Let’s talk about printing photos. I love prints. I love seeing my work printed and most of all I love seeing and hearing the reactions of families, brides & grooms. Picture this... 40 years from now your children have all grown up and have their own children. They want to look at family photos. Photos of their mum and dad when they were kids. You hand them a USB.... imagine the confusion! let us print your photos and on paper that last the test of time. Something generations of your family will love you for. We did this for a family just recently and received this very touching email. It was beautiful we can have this impact on a family by just presenting them with something more than just a USB stick or gallery link. Let’s print your memories and capture those personalities. #printyourphotos

13.01.2022 Mr & Mrs Wilson's blog is now live! There is also a link to the full gallery please contact the happy couple for the password. https://www.matthewallenphotography.com.au/po/mr-mrs-wilson

Jeanette is a fabulous celebrant who I have had the pleasure working along side quite a few times! If you are after a fabulous celebrant reach out!

12.01.2022 Beautiful couples! These guys are new to Townsville and are absolutely awesome! If you want a mirror photo booth hit these guys up!

11.01.2022 Not everyone jumps at the idea of having an engagement shoot included in their wedding package but it is such a great way to get comfortable, not only with your photographer (who you will be spending most of your wedding day around) but to help get comfortable being photographed. Not to mention it's a perfect opportunity to time in with your hair and makeup trial and see how it will photograph! And of course it's a beautiful way to capture a beautiful time in your life. And I absolutely loved capturing it for these guys.

11.01.2022 Baby Showers! Stuck for a gift? Check this out from Album Registry Not only is it hilarious, but in times like these its a great way to contribute to a baby shower if you cant make the big day! We can set this up for any occasion including weddings. Pm us and we can let you know how easy it is to do. https://youtu.be/j7KANh2cDgA

11.01.2022 I love finding new spots to photograph, however some places are just so beautiful they keep you coming back. This location has quickly turned into a little bit of a cult classic, if you will. You will see loads of portraits get done here and all equally beautiful in their own right, however its usually facing the other way! ...a quick shift in the other direction and you get the the amazing afternoon light streaming in

10.01.2022 Some great tips thanks to Bec over at Maid of Honour Weddings

10.01.2022 Shelley & Will's elopement blog is now live. Beautiful afternoon up at Lucinda. Many thanks to Stephen Tasselli Marriage Celebrant Chloe Wheeler - Makeup Artist and Hairstyling Townsville... Matthew Allen Photography See more

10.01.2022 Spots are filling up for our two mini session days! Sunday 29th November is almost booked up with 1 spot left and we also have a few spots left for Monday 30th, November. Feel free to message us if you have any questions or wish to book a spot! Just an additional note as we’ve had a few people ask, there won’t be a Santa at the shoot on the day, he will be added into the photos afterwards (but he may have dropped off a little something for the kids)

10.01.2022 This is out of the ordinary for me and many others too I guess. But I just love this last light silhouette From Tanni & Bradley's Location shoot!

09.01.2022 I love taking the couple out of the wedding for just a few minutes. It gives them a chance to take in the day's events, relax for a while and enjoy the thought that they are now officially husband and wife.

07.01.2022 We are about to draw our major prize draw! Stay tuned!

07.01.2022 Welcome to 2021! We are a little bit late with our New Years message to you all. We have been really enjoying some down time with friends and family, eating too much seafood and maybe a few sneaky beverages. From Alicia, Coen and myself we want to say thank you to all of our clients, followers, friends and family who have supported us over the last year. It means the world to us that you guys choose us to capture your special moments and for that we are so grateful.... Not many people know this but I went full time as photographer at the start of last year and it's been awesome ever since. Granted it wasn't the best year to start. However it was a good time for Alicia and I to perfect a few things on our end such as moving to print products, setting up a home studio and loads of other great things to come in 2021 such as new products and competitions. So we are back as of today! With a mountain of emails and messages to get through. And as always reach out if you are in need of a photographer! https://www.matthewallenphotography.com.au/

06.01.2022 Hey guys. Mark it in your calendar and let any newly engaged friends know that the Ideal Bride expo is on Sunday the 8th of November, and best of all we will be there. So tell them you sent them our way and we will look after them. We are also going to have a special give away on the big day.

06.01.2022 We had a lovely afternoon out with this family today! Capturing every laugh, smile and hug!

04.01.2022 Well a bush fire messed up our location for this shoot today! So I called upon a friend who I knew had a property down the road at Woodstock! Surrounded by Beautiful light, paperbark trees this dry creek bed became a stunning backdrop for Ralph & Jamie's engagement shoot!

04.01.2022 ‘Tis the season for the Christmas Mini! We’re very excited that we have been able to fit in sessions for In the Box Christmas mini shoots this year. We’ll be holding them over Sunday 29th November and Monday 30th November. Details are all below but feel free to message us with any questions or to book a session!

03.01.2022 Up next in our wonderful celebrants post is Stephen Tasselli Marriage Celebrant. He is a very down to earth, fun celebrant who makes every ceremony a memorable one. #townsvilleweddingphotographer #inghamweddingphotographer #lucinda #Townsville #ingham

03.01.2022 These guys captured the day perfectly. So much love and so much fun!

03.01.2022 There really is never a bad sunset at the The Farm Plumeria Road. Just ask these two lovers. Tanni & Bradley

03.01.2022 It's the final moments, the finishing touches. We capture these moments to tell a story but also for what it means to the bride to have this image. This can be something she can show her children one day and explain that those hands belong to Grandma, helping her daughter into her wedding dress. Those hands have helped her daughter do many things through life and this just happens to be one of the highlights. #matthewallenphotography #townsvilleweddingphotographer #weddingphotographertownsville #townsvillewedding #townsvilleportraitphotographer #townsvillephotographer #townsvilleweddings

03.01.2022 Formals done and dusted! Congratulations and good luck to all of you for the future!

02.01.2022 You simply cannot beat that amazing golden hour light! Not only does it look amazing in photos but it perfectly compliments the warmth and glow of maternity and family shoots.

02.01.2022 I love capturing emotion. I especially love capturing the more natural moments when the guests at weddings are truely themselves. I have found in my experience that photos like these are an important part of our life. They take us back to a time of joy, happiness and love. More to come from the Morris wedding this week.
