“Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)”

“We used duet for our wedding and we absolutely loved them. I was terrible with timing and my hair and make up took forever. They were patient with me. Once I was ready to finally take photos, we didn’t have that much time and I was worried I wouldn’t get so many good photos. In such a short amount of time, they took such incredible pictures. I’m so happy I trusted them with the most important day of my life because they absolutely delivered. My highlight reel also came out amazing and they were open and responsive to any edits I wanted made. Hanel was amazing throughout the process.”

Leander, TX
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $500

Hey there! I'm Matthew, an experienced photographer with nearly 30 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“When we were planning our elopement style wedding day, we were certain we wanted to hire a photographer. However, we were overwhelmed with the confusing packages and high costs until we found Matthew Chambers photography. We highly recommend hiring him for a no-fuss, easy experience. This was our first time hiring a photographer. We liked his simple 3 tiers of service (raw only, partial-service, or full service) and that he charges hourly based on service. The business model just made sense and fit our modest wedding budget. His common-sense pricing made professionally capturing our day accessible. We also liked that he is locally based in Leander and that he has a broad portfolio in case we wanted to re-hire him for future milestones/events. Most of our communication was done electronically via Zola or texting. With our busy schedules, this was preferred to make arrangements. So we met Matthew for the first time on our wedding day! Matthew was delightfully conversational and chatty which made relaxing easier. We loved the mixture of capturing moments “as is” and having him coach us through staged photos. He was very patient with our poor choreography skills. We had more fun with the posed photos than anticipated! Matthew was early to shoot and had a faster than promised turn around on photos. Less than 24 hours for access to raw photos and about 10 days for initially edited photos. While I say this, please note that we had a smaller project and turn around times can vary. The one thing we would do differently is length of booking. My husband and I were CERTAIN 2 hours would be more than enough for our simple nature elopement, but we probably could have booked 3 hours. We got all the shots we agreed upon (and more!), but it was more fun than expected. “The moment” truly goes by quicker than expected. So if you’re unsure, go ahead and book the extra time & savor the moment. Note: we found Matthew via Zola. My bestie recommended that I make a wedding site even though we were eloping. I’m glad I listened! One of the best things out of doing this was the “vendor locator” service on Zola. It connected us to photographers interested in working with us and got us directly messaging them. I read Matthew’s website and just instantly liked him and his work. Thankful he was available for our day! **attached is a sample of a raw vs edited from our day!”

“TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

“Amazing! Stunning! Beautiful! Organic! Breathtaking! These are truly just a few of the words we would use to describe Te Dua Weddings. We cannot recommend them enough to capture your special day with both photography and videography. The duo of Enea and Hayley was beyond anything we could have imagined, from the early phone calls to the day of our wedding, we were so at ease and knew they could handle capturing the most important day of our lives. They took the time to get to know us and were able to capture our love story and who we are as a couple. One of the biggest compliments we can give them is how comfortable they made us, with every shot, pose or set up we trusted them and the outcome was truly spectacular. From the family portraits, to our first look, to the ceremony, sunset vineyard shots and of course the reception they captured every moment. The passion they have comes through in their photos and is a true art form. To say we’re obsessed with the wedding photos and video is a complete understatement. We could not be happier with the outcome and loved our relationship with them through the whole process. While wedding planning is one of the most stressful times for a couple, picking Te Dua Weddings was the easiest, stress free decision we could have made. If you want gorgeous, exquisite, story telling memories from your wedding day, choose Te Dua Weddings. Marisa & Tanner Schultheis”

Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did.

Hi, I'm Misha. There is so much to know about my team, but the most important thing is that we love storytelling. You might not realize it, but you have an amazing story to tell and we are here to help you with that. My team and I have traveled from Key West in South Florida all the way to Port Saint Lucie capturing our clients’ special days. There is no wedding/elopement too big or too small for us to serve. We love working with couples and have helped hundreds preserve their timeless memories. Photography and videography are our passion and we are ready to show you how we will make your special day the one to remember!

McKinney, TX
  • Fine art style

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

“From the moment we partnered with Michael Anthony Photography for our client's special day, the experience was nothing short of remarkable. Their team, led by the incredibly talented Michael, delivered an extraordinary level of professionalism and artistry. Jennifer, a true gem in their team, ensured that every little detail was captured beautifully. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to work seamlessly with us as wedding planners made a significant difference. The detail shots she provided were not just photographs, but pieces of art that told the story of the day in a magical way. Furthermore, the efficiency and organization skills of Courtney, their studio manager, were impeccable. She was always on top of everything, ensuring smooth communication and coordination. This level of dedication and attentiveness is rare and was greatly appreciated. The final images were breathtaking, and our clients were overjoyed with the memories captured. Michael Anthony Photography didn’t just take photos; they created a visual narrative of the day that will be cherished for a lifetime. It’s a pleasure to give Michael Anthony Photography a well-deserved 5 stars. Their blend of talent, professionalism, and passion for their craft sets them apart. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photography team that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.”

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
