About Matthew Chambers Photography

Matthew Chambers Photography

Owner & Lead Photographer

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.

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!

    Wonderful

    From our first conversation with Matthew Chambers Photography, we felt at ease knowing we had found the right fit for our wedding day. Matthew's calm approach made the entire process smooth, and he was genuinely kind whenever we had questions or concerns. On the day of our wedding, his relaxed energy helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which shows in every photo. His work is professional and consistent throughout our gallery, capturing the moments that matter most with a wonderful eye for detail. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out, and we'd absolutely recommend Matthew to any couple looking for a photographer who is both talented and a joy to work with.

    Matthew to the rescue

    Matthew Chambers Photography was an absolute gem from start to finish. He responded to every question and concern right away, which made the whole planning process stress-free. On our wedding day, he shot constantly and nailed every moment of our eclectic ceremony in ways we didn't even expect. His work was so good he won an award for the photos from our wedding, which speaks volumes about his talent. What really blew us away was that nearly 10 years later, he still had all our photos backed up and sent them to us without hesitation. We'll be grateful to Matthew forever for preserving the day so beautifully.

    Cavern Wedding

    Matthew Chambers Photography captured stunning photos of my daughter’s wedding. He was very communicative, responsive and made the bride and groom feel at ease. The packages he offers is an amazing value especially for the expertise he offers.

    Friendly and Professional

    Friendly and professional service. Plenty of photos to pick from. He even went over time a bit and I forgot the marriage certificate and he was nice enough to meet us at a coffee shop later in the day!

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.
