Mathew was great! Very friendly and helped a lot with our poses. Which we needed! Very knowledgeable and has a true vision with his work.
We first met Matthew when he photographed our friend's wedding in 2024, and with his photos still hanging on our walls, we knew we needed him for our wedding, too. Matthew was a de...
light, gave us hundreds of beautiful photographs, and most importantly, he was so kind and hospitable to our friends and family. He has a great talent of guiding people into the perfect pose, perfect lighting, and a joyous smile.
Matthew is amazing. My husband and I were very lucky to find a photographer for our wedding day as great as Matthew not only in our budget, but that was easy to worth with througho...
ut the process, and made our wedding day that much more special. His work is great and he really goes the extra mile. If you need a photographer in the Austin area he's your guy!
We had such a great experience working with Matthew! He was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and was very flexible with the timeline we had planned.
On our weddin...
g day, we ended up running behind, and honestly, he saved us. As the sun was setting, he jumped right in, kept everyone moving, and gave clear direction to my husband, me, and all of our family for photos. He made what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable and kept everything on track without making us feel rushed.
His calm, professional attitude and ability to think on his feet made such a difference. We were able to relax and enjoy the moment because we knew he had everything under control. We’re so grateful for all of his hard work and can’t recommend him enough!
As a wedding officiant, I had the opportunity to work alongside Matthew at a recent wedding, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was professional, organized, and easy to ...
work with, which helped the entire event run smoothly.
What stood out most was how comfortable he made the couple and their families feel. He was able to give clear direction when needed while still capturing natural moments throughout the day. After the wedding, he provided access to a beautiful gallery of images that truly captured the joy and personality of the event.
Matthew is clearly passionate about his work, communicates well, and genuinely cares about the couples he serves. I would be happy to work with him again and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in Central Texas.
Matthew was seriously amazing! He took so many pictures, and the whole session felt so easy and fun. He helped us with every pose and made sure we were standing the right way so th...
e pictures turned out great. He kept us laughing the whole time, which made everything really natural.
I was impressed with how fast he got everything back to us. He uploaded all of our photos that same night, and by the next morning he had already sent over some edited ones!
I honestly couldn’t be happier with our pictures. We’ll definitely be using Matthew again, and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who makes the experience fun and takes beautiful photos!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matthew three times now. Most recently, for my wedding.
Matt is easy to work with, responsive, and able to loosen anyone up. His eye for ...
photography and attention to detail is incredible and he poses you perfectly. His raw photographs are stunning. Not to mention, his prices can’t be beat.
Highly recommend.

Matthew was absolutely incredible and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
From the beginning, he was professional, organized, and easy to work with. He helped guid...
e us through timelines, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (I definitely needed help with that haha), and really took the time to understand what we wanted out of our photos.
On the day of the wedding, he was everywhere in the best way possible, capturing all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive. He kept things running smoothly and made sure we stayed on track while still enjoying the day. Often cracking jokes or telling stories to help keep the mood high and light.
The photos turned out amazing and truly captured the feel of our wedding. We’ll be able to relive those moments for years to come.
We couldn’t recommend him more!
Matthew was amazing! He knew how to perfect poses and ensured we received the best-quality pictures. He clearly explained the process and was a joy to work with. He even requested ...
a champagne toast from the hotel to celebrate our special day. I highly recommend him, and will definitely book with him again. We are still receiving compliments on our photos, and we have wonderful memories to cherish now, thanks to him.
Matthew was really nice! I felt completely comfortable! I always thought it would be awkward since I'm not a talkative person but he's very talkative kept the conversation going. O...

Great vendor, photos came out great and was very friendly and professional!
Your photographer is incredibly important. You can’t recreate the feelings, the expressions, or the pure joy of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Matthew’s photos are absolutely pr...
iceless. These photos will be treasured for a lifetime.
If you’re looking for someone dependable, reliable, and budget-friendly, I highly recommend Matthew Chambers Photography
From the very first time my husband and I reached out to Matthew Chambers Photography, we knew we were in great hands. He was so easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, ...
and made the whole process stress-free. His attention to detail and creative eye truly stood out—he went above and beyond to make sure every shot was perfect.
We loved our engagement photos just as much as our wedding pictures! Matthew captured every little moment that made our day so special and meaningful. We’re so grateful to have these beautiful photos to look back on for years to come. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
We originally planned for a simple courthouse wedding, thinking that was our only option but thankfully, things changed. We ended up getting married at sunset in the most beautiful...
park, surrounded by the people we love. It was everything we didn’t know we needed, and Matthew captured it all perfectly. We are beyond grateful to have had this special moment photographed so beautifully.
Matthew has photographed my sister’s graduation, a couple's session, and now our wedding. Each time, he has blown us away with his talent and humor. He has a true gift not only for photography but also for making people feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He guided us naturally, made us laugh, and captured the most genuine moments without ever making it feel forced. We can't recommend Matthew enough. If you're looking for someone who is both incredibly skilled and genuinely kind, he's the one!
Phenomenal Experience with Matthew Chambers Photography!
From start to finish, working with Matthew Chambers was an absolute delight. He manages to be both incredibly professional ...
and genuinely funny, which made the entire photography session relaxed and enjoyable.
The pictures are simply amazing! I was blown away by the quality and artistry in every shot. As someone who isn't very photo savvy, I especially appreciated that Matthew knows all the best poses. He provided excellent direction, making me feel comfortable and look fantastic without having to worry about a thing.
I truly can't wait to refer him to everyone I know. And speaking of future bookings, I'm already looking forward to hiring him again for a boudoir session—I have complete confidence that the results will be stunning.
If you are looking for a photographer who delivers amazing results and a five-star experience, look no further than Matthew Chambers Photography!
I found Matthew on an Austin area bridal page, he was punctual, knowledgeable & gave us beautiful photos! Aside from his work, what caught my eye is he offered a budget friendly pa...
ckage that suited our needs. We chose for him to come shoot the elopement for 2 hours and received all our images before we left Austin the next morning. They're absolutely beautiful and you won't regret hiring him! Thank you sir for capturing every moment of my daughter's wedding
Matthew went above and beyond! He made us feel very comfortable and still managed to make our small elopement feel special. Our photos came out amazing. We highly recommend!
We were planning from out of state. Matt was professional, understanding and truly amazing. Our son's wedding photos were beautiful and we were more than satisfied with his servic...
e.
Definitely recommend!
Our pictures came out perfect, even with the weather not really being on our side he got some amazing photos!!
Matthew is an excellent photographer. Matthew got recommended to us by our venue Texas old town. We called a few other photographers but his prices were the best and after getting ...
our touches up pictures we are impressed and he delivered amazing results. From the beginning Matthew was so easy and flexible with the booking and payment. We agreed on a contract and met day of the wedding. The day of the wedding he jumped right in, me and my husband were busy and he noticed. he wasted no time getting detail shots and looking back at it I’m glad he did. those small moments mean so much and during getting ready that was never communicated and I’m glad he took initiative to do this. Matthew walked us through poses and easy going, he broke the ice with both of our families and this was a big plus for us as the pictures were fun to do. Matthew was so helpful in more ways than photography, he and our DJ were willing to work together if we didn’t have a wedding coordinator. We had multiple family helping with this but if your getting married you may have seen wedding coordinator prices and you will see why this is soo important. He also kept us on schedule. Throughout the wedding he came up to me and my husband asking if we were okay. HE HELPED CUT OUR CAKE. He walked us through the pose and how to do our first bite and HELPED SERVE CAKE TO OUR GUEST. My wedding was perfect and waking up the next day to have the raw photos available, it’s very clear Matthew cares deeply about his profession and it’s so understandable why he gets so many good reviews. I will recommend him every chance I get and he will be my got to photographer. Thanks Matthew!
We highly recommend Matthew. We hired Matthew for our engagement and wedding photography as well as for officiant service during the wedding ceremony. Matthew was consistently prom...
pt, reliable, and accommodating both throughout our wedding process and during our photography sessions. He has a great eye for pose suggestions. Matthew was also very timely and prompt with getting the photos uploaded for us at lightning speed right after the photography sessions, which helped us a lot and allowed us to use our engagement photos as displays at our wedding ceremony. We had wedding guests who wanted pictures on their phones and he was very gracious in managing multiple outside cameras. As an officiant he gave us multiple options for how to make the ceremony personalized for us. Overall, highly recommended!
As a plus size bride I was NERVOUS I would hate how I looked in pictures BUT I can’t get enough of the photos Matthew took. Not one single one did I see my own insecurities. Let Ma...
tthew capture your good side so you can just enjoy your time. My bridals and day of photos are top tier and I’d pay over and over again to have Matthew there capturing our day.
Matthew was AMAZING. He was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed. He responded quickly and gave us so much peace on our wedding day. We will never book ANYONE ELSE but ...
Matthew for future events.
This guy knows how to take photos!!!
Was a wonderful photographer and made our day special, also was amazing when we had an issue with our download of our photos through no fault of his! I would absolutely recommend!
Matthew was clearly knowledgeable. He was very efficient both at the wedding and with uploading the pictures that we could see them quickly and they looked immaculate. We could not...
have asked for a better wedding photographer. He did not get in the way and he got along great with guests not that that’s his job… he was reasonably priced and his pictures made everybody happy. He made sure to get all the shots that we asked for plus use his creativity to give us shots that we would not have known to ask for but appreciated.
Matthew was on time and so helpful! He made sure to get every shot on my photo want list and more! He was organized and knew exactly what would look best. My photos came out great ...
and were ready to view literally the next day! I am obsessed with all the photos! He also made sure to get every shot with our friends and even stayed a few minutes over his time to get some shots of our first dances!! It was obvious how much he cared about getting us all our shots and making sure we loved them! We actually got quite a few compliments from some of our guests at how great our photographer was so he had evidently had great interactions with guests as well. He worked with our budget and really delivered top quality photography! I would highly recommend him and will be using him again.
Matt did a great job and was so professional and helpful! Such a nice and caring person too. Wish I could give him more than 5 stars :)
If I could give 100000000 stars I would. Matthew made our wedding day enjoyable and took amazing shots. His direction was key and his personality was everything I could expect in a...

ibly talented. Matthew has a natural ability to capture the most beautiful and candid moments, and his attention to detail is second to none. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day, and the results were simply stunning. The photos perfectly capture the emotions and joy of our special day, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Matthew Chambers to anyone looking for a skilled and passionate photographer to capture their memories.
Mathew created beautiful memories of our fabulous wedding day! Very professional and fun to work with!
Matthew gave us the best photos we could have ever asked for during our engagement session. 2 hours of non stop posing, site changes and clicking away. His attention to detail is i...
mpeccable! Just the slightest change in a hand movement or look just made all the difference in our photos.
I cannot wait for him to shoot our micro wedding in October!
Book your session with him and you will not be disappointed.

ecommend him for your special event.
You can trust Matthew Chambers to deliver great photos without overcharging you. We hired Matthew to shoot our wedding, and from the start of our correspondence I knew I was making...
the right decision. I appreciated his no-nonsense business model and years of experience. He knows what works, and does it. However, I didn't feel like I got a "one size fits all" treatment. I can't think of a shot I was hoping for that he did not capture. Admittedly, I was hoping for classic simple photos before and during the ceremony, because I think that's what we'll apprecite most years from now. However, he was ready with plenty of pose suggestions when we were feeling awkward or not sure what we wanted to do next. On the flip side, when it came to candid photos, he got plenty that captured guests' personalities and the relaxed yet festive vibe of our reception. Thanks to his experience in the Austin wedding and event scene, he had shot at my venue before, and was familiar with some of the best places for photos. My friends appreciated his offer to take posed portrait-like photos of them on the balcony. A practical bonus was that he had room in his contract and schedule to stay later for an additional cost, if necessary. Our wedding didn't run late, but it was nice to know that he would be flexible to capture as much of the evening as appropriate. I would absolutely recommend Matthew Chambers to anyone who needs a wedding photographer!
We're so happy we selected Matthew to be our wedding photographer. He had excellent suggestions for shots and worked with our requests, and is so personable. He put us at ease quic...
kly and established a great rapport with our guests.
We got our proofs within 48 hours of the wedding and even before editing they were gorgeous. He was super accommodating when we requested edits to specific images. His prices are so budget-friendly, which we really, really appreciated, and he was flexible about adding another half hour to our original booking. We would definitely recommend him to others!

ned the plan as we had planned for our wedding everything was great and he adjusted for the time, the rain and taking family photos before, after and during the event. He also showed up early, was polite took many photos overall great and very efficient and we got our photo's almost the next day and our wedding was a few days before Christmas eve. Great to work with and helped the event (wedding) run smoothly throughout all the hiccups that happened during the night and with staff.

We used Matthew for our wedding and engagement photography. I found his website online and decided to go with him based off of his pictures and his reviews
He gives good directio...
n when taking photos about certain poses. If you want him to he will move your body to exactly how he wants you to be for a professional looking photo. I felt like I looked awkward but the photos turned out amazing. I am not into the boudoir photos he was discussing but he was definitely good at posing me for engagement photos.
He is very very talented and has a keen eye for detail and creativity. He was able to get all the shots we wanted and shots that we didn’t know we needed and was able to do it in very little time. His pictures turned out really well before they were even edited. He is able to change his camera settings before he takes a picture so all 1000+ pictures of ours look edited and ready to go already.
Matthew was recommended to us by a co-worker and it couldn’t have been a better recommendation! He made the process of booking, wedding day show up and photos of such a special day...
flawless for us. He’s professional and has so much knowledge of how to get some incredible photos for us. Would and have recommended him to family and friends already! You want this photographer!
