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 Matthew 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 photographer. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart Matt! I cannot wait to use you in the future
Matthew Chambers was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly 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 impeccable! 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.

Matthew was very professional and knowledgeable about poses to make beautiful memories at our wedding. We didn't want middle school dance photos and Matthew came through. I would recommend 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 quickly 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!
Thank you for the amazing pictures of our wedding! It was so easy to communicate with you and I couldn’t be happier with our pictures. I felt so at ease with your kindness, patience and professionalism!
My wife and I an amazing time working with Matthew.
He guided us through poses, he had very good communication with us and he is a very cool guy to work with really!
I have pictures taken before
But nothing like Matthew does his
He was very straight forward on where he wanted us and how he wanted us we didn’t have to think about how to do anything camera position because he did all for you very friendly and outgoing ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Honestly very great photographer, had some issues with communication with myself, the photographer and the venue. Once we removed the venue and spoke directly via text and I explained 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 had a great experience with Matthew Chambers Photography. Matthew took our engagement photos and they came out so good! He was a professional and extremely knowledgeable with poses and lighting. He made sure each picture looked great, he took his time, and utilized the all the time we paid for. I would recommend him and we will use him again!
Matthew Chambers has been the only photographer I will ever use.
He's very professional and compassionate with his work and he knows how to capture the most beautiful pictures through his eyes and heart.
Matthew did a awesome job on our wedding photos!! They turned out beautiful!! He was easy to work with, professional, and very friendly. We highly recommend him.
Matthew was professional, delightful to work with, on time, creative, and captured every request perfectly. I cannot say enough about his quality of work and professionalism. Highly recommend and would definitely use him in the future for special life events.
I highly recommend booking with Matthew! He's so nice and professional, and made the shoot an easy experience. He's very knowledgeable and his experience definitely shows. He did my wedding photos and was very accommodating to any changes I needed to make to the booking. He knew exactly how to pose us and had great timing to make sure we got the perfect sunset pictures that we wanted. He's quick with troubleshooting and makes sure clients are happy and comfortable!
Matthew did a wonderful job taking our maternity pictures! He was very respectful and knew exactly what he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone who may need photos taken professionally in the future!
Matthew was absolutely amazing!! He was very professional and personable. His photos were absolutely stunning, and some thing we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are in need of a photographer, I would not look any further. He is absolutely amazing, and you will not regret it.
Matthew did such a great job at my sisters wedding, it was a no-brainer to hire him for ours. His work is high quality, expedient, and professional. The whole family loved his work. Thankyou Matthew!
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 direction 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!
Matthew Chambers provided excellent service, both during and after our wedding April 22 2023. The photos taken exceeded our expectations AND he encouraged, led, and wrangled group pictures with aplomb and grace.
He touched up photos quickly, touching up more than we expected. Touched up photos were available within 2 days of the event and helped make everyone more beautiful and handsome.
Absolutely amazing! Great guy with friendly banter. Made this self conscious bride feel comfortable all day long. The photos are awesome, and he knew exactly what to capture when my answer to everything was I don't know or shoulder shrugs. I cannot show my gratitude enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you for capturing my day in the perfect way!
Matthew Chambers is an AMAZING photographer! He captured all the remarkable moments at my wedding, and he was so easy to work with. He made taking portrait photos fun and calming on that big day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He was affordable and punctual, showing up right on time and ready to take pictures of every moment. 10/10
Great engagement photographer!!! He did a wonderful job telling us how to pose to get some amazing photos! And that’s saying something as me and my fiancé happen to be awkward on camera. Very satisfied with the service!
It was amazing to work with Matthew. He is very passionate about photography and it is reflected in his work. His prices are very reasonable. If you are looking for a great photographer, look no further. Matthew is the one!
Matt went above and beyond the call of duty for our wedding. There was lots of stress between families on getting the all the pictures we wanted and Matt was able to get all of them and help us come up with great photo ideas. He also helped my bride figure out how to hold her dress to keep it from getting dirty. He also helped solve issues we had fitting my 9 groomsmen up in our small chapel. He also help balance photos of the party since I had 9 groomsmen and she had 6 bridesmaids. Matt was a calm presence on a crazy fun day. He made it a wonderful time!
Matthew was an incredible photographer. Every step of the way he eased my stress and made sure I have amazing photos that will last a lifetime. He always was available to answer questions, deal with parents who were worried and stress and make sure everything was flowing and on schedule. Not only did he help me with my poses to accent my curves, he helped me find a makeup artist for the day of, help with the organization of the bridal party since there was a uneven number of groomsmen to bridesmaids and dealt with the stress of family wanting to take control. I highly highly recommend him and will be booking him again for other services he offers. If you want a 5 star photographer and experience you should book Matthew Chambers.
We have used Matthew Chambers Photography for two of our daughters weddings, and for good reason. He is a truly talented artist who finds beauty in the ordinary. He is friendly, yet professional. His patience always allows him to be in the right place at the right time to deliver the perfectly beautiful, yet natural photos. He loves what he does and it shows. His attention to detail and his ability to make the necessary adjustments for the perfect lighting is spot on. My girls will look at their wedding photos for years and be able to relive every aspect of their special day!
Matthew did my daughter’s engagement photos yesterday and they turned out beautiful! He suggested a wonderful backdrop (Berry Springs Park - highly recommended!) and was so easy to work with! Not only that, but Matthew made the photos available in hours, not days!! Thank you so much, Matt!
My fiance and I are doing a destination wedding but were looking for pictures for our engagement photos and save the date. Matt was outstanding - he had great suggestions on poses and backdrops in our chosen location, and he went above and beyond with accommodating our ideas and suggestions. He was very generous with his time and attention, very responsive, and the pictures came out excellent. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone needing photos done (be it for a wedding or otherwise). But for us doing a destination wedding, we likely would have hired Matt for our wedding he was that good!
He is great! He did the photography for our wedding as well as a maternity shoot for one of the bridesmaids and we love the pictures! Highly recommend him for whatever type of photography shoot you need.
Matthew Chambers did a phenomenal job for our wedding! He didn’t just take amazing photos but saved our wedding in the process. He showed up early and did an evaluation of the venue inside and out to determine what he had to work with. We had no wedding planner and the DJ was supposed to keep the time line of events and keep things going but had his friend fill in so we were in a panic from the start. Matt said don’t worry I have you covered. He helped all the guys get their ties right, joked around with the entire bridal party, and myself to ease all of our nerves. Not only did he take some of the most amazing photos, he captured every part of our wedding, and also kept the guest entertained as he got some great shots of them. With all of his expertise he was able to jump in and help everyone know where to go and what to do. There are always going to be problems at any event but everyone will be so caught up in the day, nervous, and not thinking straight. There were a number of those and we just panicked but Matt was calm, cool, and professional and solved those that came up one right after another. One of those issue was the wine was left in the trunk of a car all day and we thought now we have no wine. Matt told the groomsman after their pictures to go get the wine set the timer on the phone and put it in the freezer and it will be perfect for the guests by the time we get done with the rest of the photos. I still can’t get over all the great shots he got of everything including some candid shots no other photographer would have thought of. The following day, I looked over the shots he took and he got one of me and two close friends who huddled up with me before it kicked off to pray with me because I was a nervous wreck. It was a great moment and he got it with and many others. Our entire day is now captured in every detail with magnificent photos. His prices are so affordable, and you get more than a wedding photographer when you use Matt. One of our guest commented after she saw the photos and asked what we paid and was shocked because she paid three times that amount and didn’t get anything close to what we had in quality of shots and all the extra things Matt did to make our day perfect.
Matthew did a spectacular job photographing my wedding. Very fun to work with and high quality photos. I will definitely use him again and I highly recommend him to others.
Matthew is a fantastic photographer that was able to capture both my maternity photos and my newborns after they were born. Even with all the fuss and attitude he was able to create amazing photos and memories I will cherish. If you are looking for a photographer look no further he will take care of you and make any event stunning!!!
Matthew!!!! My fav photographer! I’ve had the privilege of working with Matthew a couple of times previously. So it was a must that he be my wedding photographer. He’s too notch y’all, professional, makes working with him easy, and affordable. At this point, he’s my personal photographer. Lol. Looking forward to working with Matthew again, and again, and again!
Highly recommend Matthew. He is punctual, friendly easy going personality and very professional. We celebrated our 15 year anniversary and were nervous as we didn’t have a wedding or professional photos done when we got married. He encouraged us to relax and have fun, and we did. We will definitely be hiring him for future shoots.
Matthew took our wedding photos on a chilly November day in Austin, and he was amazing! He helped us feel really comfortable and was a total pro even when we were full of nerves from the wedding. His main focus was making sure we were happy, and the pictures turned out perfect. We highly recommend him for your wedding or general photography needs.
Matthew Chambers Photography was amazing! He was very nice and professional. The pictures he took for our engagement photos turned out amazing! So much so that we are definitely hiring him for our wedding photographer! Thank you Matthew you are the best!
Extremely easy to work with! Knew exactly how to get the perfect shots and the guests loved Matthew.
My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot with Matthew and it was a smooth process from start to finish. He responded to our initial inquiry the same day and fit us in to shoot that weekend. We weren't too sure on location or style and he recommended great suggestions for both. We aren't photogenic and he was amazing at suggesting poses that were flattering, natural and didn't feel awkward. We would definitely recommend him!
My fiance and I did an engagement shoot with Matt in Georgetown, TX this past December. Matt is professional, knowledgeable, hilarious, and made the shoot so much fun! He recommended a great park with a lot of beautiful scenery, which was nice because we are fairly new to the area. His photos are excellent and turned out beautifully!! Will definitely recommend to our friends and family! :)
Look no further for the highest quality photography for what you’re looking for. Matt has been shooting for decades, and his quick maneuvers to capture the perfect angle with lighting leaves the finished product with your mouth dropped in awe. He is a blunt, direct, no bs photographer who is determined to capture every moment that is unrivaled. He’s won numerous awards for his work, and it’s obvious why. We loved his personality - he’s easy, charismatic, and personable to work with. Matt was our photographer for our wedding and my wife’s lingerie shoots, and we couldn’t be happier. We want to continue to have more shoots with him in the future! Save yourself the trouble looking for a photographer, and hire Matt as your guy. You won’t be disappointed!
Matthew did our engagement, my bridals and our wedding pictures and they all turned out amazing! He is so talented in all his work and knows exactly how to work with a large crowd. We cannot thank him enough and we would recommend him to all those needing some amazing pictures!
Matthew did an amazing job taking our wedding photos this past September. The photos turned out so beautiful. We will defiantly recommend him to all our family and friends.
Matthew did our engagement photo shoot and wedding photoshoot, and we had a great time with him! He seems very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. Additionally, he is just a very easy-going guy and made us laugh a lot. We love our pictures and the time we had with him!
We had a great experience using Matthew as our photographer for our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos. You cant beat the price and the photos are even better.
Scheduling and communication were also handled well. We are very happy with our choice to use Matthew Chambers Photography.
Oh my god!!! Matthew is amazing and so funny!!! He made the whole engagement photo session so comfortable and enjoyable and he made sure to talk through with me and my fiancé on ways to pose to make ourselves look good cause you know we got that covid weight for sure!!!
Matthew was absolutely amazing to work with. He worked great with both kids and adults. His prices are great and we definitely recommend his services. His pictures are amazing and he is very understanding when it comes to payment. We definitely plan on working with Matthew again.
Amazing experience with Matthew. Quality photos, excellent job organizing people for photos, showed up early and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. 100% recommend
Matthew is soooo easy to work with, super flexible, very helpful & takes beautiful photos. My husband and I were doing a vow renewal and pretty much the week of our event our photographer canceled due to personal issues and we were freaking out bc you normally have to book a year or at least months in advance, by luck we came across a review on Matthew and we just knew he would be booked we called anyway & he made it happen. We were so grateful he came through for us!
Was so much fun! He took some amazing photos and super easy to work with! Highly recommend!
We hired Matthew for ours son’s and future daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner. Matthew did a thoroughly excellent job. We primarily wanted the photos as documentation but what we received was a complete story of the event. It was fabulous and so fun to relive through the pictures. He took every imaginable picture there was to take and the quality was fantastic. He was very accessible and accommodating before and during the event. He was professional very reasonably priced. We highly recommend Matthew Chambers Photography.
