About Matthew Chambers Photography

Matthew Chambers Photography

Owner & Lead Photographer

Hey there! I'm Matthew, a veteran photographer with over 25 years of experience behind the lens specializing in budget-friendly, high-quality photography based out of Leander, Texas. I have been shooting since I was about ten years old on 110 cameras, in high school I learned to shoot on a 35 MM camera. Professionally I accepted my first paid shoot in 1996, a boudoir session for the girlfriend turned wife of a friend deploying overseas with the Army. I earned $50 and a six-pack of beer for a one-hour session on a Canon AE1 35 MM film camera I bought at a yard sale.

I believe photography should be fun and not boring. I like to go for the dramatic shot, the fun shots, the beauty of a sly smile and a bride and groom just having fun! I produce award winning shots without breaking the bank and treat folks like family!

Matthew Chambers Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. His communication was prompt and effective throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, he provided clear direction and listened closely to what we wanted captured, showing a deep knowledge of his craft. We were thrilled to receive the full gallery of photos the very night of our vow renewal. Matthew Chambers Photography truly helped make our special day even more memorable and I’m so happy to have beautiful photos to look back on.
Great photographer

The day of our wedding was hectic as it rained and we had to move everything indoors. As soon as he arrived, Matthew was willing to help out wherever needed, even moving things from outdoors to indoors. The photos came out fantastic. I was grateful that he gave directions on how to pose because I didn't know how to without his directions. I would highly recommend Matthew for your event or photoshoot. He is very experienced and awesome to work with.
Beautiful Wedding Photos!

Matthew is absolutely fantastic! I found him on Zola and from the beginning he was quick to respond and very friendly. I had given him an idea of what I was looking for in our allotted time, and he just amazed all of us with the images he captured! My husband and I get very nervous taking photos, but Matthew made us feel so comfortable and guided us with patience and humor to capture some gorgeous images along with photos he took of moments during the ceremony and reception. I immediately added the family pics to my social media pages and the final edited photos are breathtaking. I have pictures of all of our bridal party and very sweet moments of us as newlyweds. I almost didn't hire a photographer, but I am so glad we did. Matthew does fantastic work, is super friendly and professional. I would hire him again for any photos and recommend him 100%!!!

As the owner of a budget-friendly wedding venue, we are constantly helping our couples have the wedding of their dreams within very tight budgets. Matthew is one of our 'secret weapons'! He does great work, is very professional, offers tremendous flexibility, and has a lot of fun, all at an incredibly affordable price. He also has the fastest turnaround of any of the photographers we work with. We constantly refer Matthew to our couples and every one has been thrilled with their galleries.

I shoot exclusively on Canon camera bodies, with Canon lenses. Currently I use a Canon 7D for most shooting, I prefer it over the more expensive 5D Mark III due to its faster shutter speed, high pixel count, and versatility in shooting. Off of the camera I use Wescott, Rogue, and Magmod products whenever possible, their quality has proven them unparalleled in every aspect.

Yes, I travel anywhere, however travel fees (typically the cost of gas, lodging if needed, and a reasonable fee per meal) may apply. I have shot from Wyoming to the Dakotas and Louisiana in just the past 5 years, however, typically I shoot in the central Texas area, Victoria, Corpus Christi, and along the IH 35 corridor.

Yes, deposits are required, for weddings and events it is half; however, for smaller shoots (less than $200) I typically will accept $50 or waive the deposit all together. A shoot is not considered booked until a deposit is received or specifically waived; holds will be entered for a few days in most situations to allow time for payment to be received. The balance is due prior to shooting beginning on the day of the shoot. Deposits are non-refundable and are outlined in our contract. If a deposit is waived that does not waive any cancellation fee if the session is cancelled.

When you pay for a photo book you’re paying for a photographer to organize your photos and order the book, which costs manpower hours and printing as well as shipping costs. Every package I shoot includes a CD/DVD of your original and edited images which allows you to create photo books and prints wherever you choose. This allows you to do prints and photo books at a fraction of the cost by using local labs and doing the organizing yourself. That being said, I do offer print ordering off my site with a limited markup.

A rare question overall, but fair. I do have some very limited restrictions on sessions. I will not shoot anything that is knowingly illegal, anything that advocates violence against anyone, or anything that promotes hate of any kind. I pride myself on being a diverse person and would rather not have your business than degrade the name of my business by accepting shoots that violate my personal creed. Matthew Chambers Photography does not discriminate based on age, religion, sex, race, national origin, or sexual orientation. If you’re in doubt, just ask.

In 2006 we began shooting digital as an option; in 2010 it became our sole form. If you require film shooting it can be arranged with enough notice.
