I'm a consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton doing strategic communications, but I love the creative stuff so much that I moonlight as a photographer. That is why I named this project Matt Allen Creative, it is my outlet to show off. Creatively, I built a strong background in studio art before transitioning into wedding and travel photography. Since focusing on photography, I built a varied portfolio through numerous projects; I traveled the world with the non-profit International Cooperating Ministries (www.icm.org) and helped exhibit fashion lines for Rochelle Behrens (www.rochellebehrenscollection.com). I really love doing weddings though, and recently got married myself.
In all of my work, I take a life-style approach that focuses on capturing the beautiful and joyful moments, while also getting those traditional, elegant posed shots that are expected.
I grew up in Richmond, Virginia and graduated from the University of Virginia in 2006. I have been living in Washington, DC proper for over three years now.
