About Matthew Allen Photography
Matthew Allen Photography is a husband-and-wife business based in Townsville. Matthew is behind the camera, drawing on a background in landscape photography, while Alicia handles enquiries, appointments and album design. Weddings are their main focus, and the pair photograph full days as well as small, private ceremonies. Their wedding work mixes candid coverage of guests with creative couple portraits – dramatic night shots, light trails and golden-hour images around Townsville and Magnetic Island. After the day, couples can order printed albums and wall art, including metal prints, so the photos end up somewhere other than a USB stick. Elopements and micro weddings are a real specialty. Base packages bring together the photographer and a celebrant, and other suppliers can be added to suit the couple. Magnetic Island's rocky headlands and bays often serve as the setting, and announcement extras include a ready-to-post image and printed cards with a chosen photo. Beyond weddings, Matthew photographs school formals, graduation balls and fundraisers, and takes on commercial work: staff headshots, product and premises shoots for websites, and images for company magazines, from small cafés to mine sites. Drone photography is available too. The website also keeps a list of trusted local wedding suppliers gathered from past couples, which helps with the rest of the planning.
