“George Street was very communicative and professional throughout our wedding planning process and the day of. We chose to have 8 hr photo and video with a 6 hr assistant photographer. between the quality of the photos and video and the amount of time we had, we felt that it was amazing quality and such a beautiful keepsake to remember our special day by. We were also permitted to switch out an album the pictures made by George Street with an engagement photo shoot with photographer which we really appreciate and enjoy doing.

“Original Weddings (formerly Sound Originals) delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We just received our full wedding gallery, and the photos are absolutely stunning — over 1,300 beautiful images capturing every detail, emotion, and moment of our day. Narrowing down which ones to print and gift to family and friends is going to be the hardest part! From the very start, the entire team impressed us with their professionalism and incredible organization. Four shooters. Eight full hours. Zero stress. They seamlessly blended into the day, always present but never intrusive — giving us gentle direction when needed while allowing us to fully live in each moment. Their friendly, calming energy put us, our wedding party, and our guests completely at ease. It truly felt like they were as personally invested in capturing our day as we were in living it. The crew’s creativity, attention to detail, and personalized approach made us feel like we were in the best possible hands. They listened to what was important to us and delivered exactly that — candid laughter, emotional glances, stunning scenery, and all the in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond thrilled with the photos, and now we’re counting down the days to see our full feature video. If it’s anything like the photo gallery, we know it will capture the heart of “Our Greatest Adventure” perfectly. Highly, highly recommend this team to anyone looking for talented, kind, and efficient professionals to document their special day!”

“Duet as a whole was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. They were all extremely professional, kind, and helpful every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, they were so easy to work with and knew all of the best spots for pictures at our venue. They captured all of the moments we wanted and more. We got preview pictures while we were still on our honeymoon which were all absolutely perfect, and we were blown away by the full gallery. The pictures were way better than I could have ever hoped for. We also got a highlight video as well as reception and ceremony videos which were so perfectly done. There are genuinely so many amazing photos that we're having trouble picking which ones to frame for our home (our families feel the same way too!). While I don't want to post our faces in the reviews, the attention to detail is really unmatched - as you can see from all the pictures I'm including here. We both highly recommend booking with them, if you're thinking about it just do it - you will not be disappointed!!”

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
“A little advice for anyone planning a wedding: 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 Chambers had the hard task of recreating our wedding photos when our original photographer failed. Matthew not only took the challenge but he crushed it. He turned around our photos very quickly. When we got our photos, what Matthew Chambers was absolutely priceless. I completely understand not wanting to go into debt for one day, but please remember: photos last forever. They are the one thing that keeps those moments alive. If you’re looking for someone dependable, reliable, and budget-friendly, I highly recommend Matthew Chambers Photography”

Our photos and our 10 minute video along with our 7-hours of raw footage turned out PERFECTLY. They captured our whole day! Paul our videographer was super awesome, got every angle of our wedding and including drone footage. Only mistake we made was not telling our photographer what photos we wanted of family and ideas we had wanted, so it made the photos unorganized after ceremony, but our photographer Jessica made it quick for us and captured whatever we wanted!

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!

“Atèpá Media was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was transparent, compassionate, and reliable throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was wonderful, detailed, and truly captured the lovely moments of our special day. They made sure my partner and I had our moment for pictures in every outfit and didn't make us feel rushed at all.

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.

“What a great experience!!! They were so professional and the photos came out great. I hired Michael Anthony Photography for my engagement pictures and my wedding. They showed up early and were so amazing. They went above and beyond to make our day very special and memorable. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. My picture came back very fast and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them! Thanks again Michael Anthony Photography!!”

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.
