About Me
Hello and welcome to my website, I’m Marie Allen, I work from my well established studio in Portadown, I specialise in portraiture and wedding photography.
I like to offer my clients life style or classical style images. My passion for photograhy is still as strong from leaving school all those years ago. I consider it a privilege to immortalise the beauty and essence of people and animals alike. I approach each session with creativity, professionalism, and a genuine love for my job.
I live in Tandragee with my husband Mark, daughter Aimee, son Michee and our beloved dalmatian Oscar. My love for animals has led me on to be a pet photograher.
I love the outdoors, my hobbies are walking my dog, gardening and I try to do a bit of mountaineering and beach walking. I really enjoy meeting people and just love the fact that I am currently training as a Barista to volunteer in our family church coffee shop.
