Now I have hired some good photographers over the years, but Mr. Matthew Chambers is the best Photographer I have had since I took W. H. Illingworth out to the Black Hills back in 1874. I have asked my Miss Libby to sit for a photograph by Mr. Matthew. I wanted something spicy I could take with me out on the plains. However, Miss Libby is just too shy to sit for a picture these days. She says she don't look as fetching as she used to now that she's a Ghost. If you hire anyone else besides Mr. Matthew, I assure you pard, ya'll gonna regret it. And take it from me, you don't wanna do anything you will regret. Happy Trails!

I've had the good fortune of working with Matt a couple of times when he provided event…read morephotography. He does excellent work! I like to take photos and am always snapping pictures left and right while I'm out and about. But when I received Matt's photos after both of these events, I had to ask myself why I had bothered; his artistic eye and his amazing ability to take fantastic photos that beautifully capture the mood and the energy of the event and the people involved is just amazing. I am especially impressed by his ability to shoot great pictures in low light, which I find incredibly tricky. In addition, Matt is a consummate professional, very responsive and easy to work with, and prompt with producing the final product. As if that weren't enough, he is very generous with his time and has a spirit of volunteerism that I really admire. I'd definitely recommend him for all of your photography needs; both the person and his product are top notch.

I've worked with Matt on a couple of projects. He's provided company photos of executives at two…read moredifferent companies for me, and he's great working with everyone from nervous, camera-shy CEOs to super-confident VPs of Sales. He takes the time to get to know each subject, making them feel comfortable and confident, and his final work is professional and delivered promptly. I've also used Matt for company videos, and he brought in a great team - everyone from a makeup person to an additional camera man. We recorded a couple of great corporate videos, with high-quality sound and picture quality - just what our company needed to highlight our expertise. I've recommended Matt to numerous other companies - his pricing is affordable, and the quality of his work is really what stands out.

As we were hunting around for a venue around the Austin area, I was also searching for a…read morephotographer. I came across a vendor that had a package deal with photographer, DJ, and photobooth for a pretty good deal. I was deciding to go with them... until I came across Matt Montalvo Photography. I compared the profiles and it was a huge difference. I fell in love with his work immediately, so I reached out to him and ask for pricing. He was fast to respond and even recommended a venue (which I eventually booked). The price he quoted me was more than the package price I can get at the other place. However, I told myself that this is a once in a lifetime event and these are memories we will have forever. This was the one of the best choice I made for wedding planning! We booked Matt about 11 months out just to make sure we will have him be the photographer at our wedding. After we sign the contract and made the deposit... we didn't hear from him until about 2 weeks before the wedding. At that time we just need to fill out a form on what kind of group pictures we want. During the day of the wedding, Matt arrived on time.. was dressed nicely and knows what he was doing. I am not much of a poser and he taught us how to pose and do all that other stuff. I am glad that we had prefect weather for our wedding with some clouds in the sky.... Matt was able to take so very very very nice sunset pictures. A week has passed and we got to view all our pictures!! I can't believed it! I always hear that it takes about a couple of months to get your photos, but we got them in a week! and we LOVED the pictures!!! My husband doesn't like to take pictures and doesn't know how to look good/pose for pictures, but Matt work his magic and made him look good! My cousin got married in mid October and he still haven't got his wedding pictures yet. All in all, Matt is an AMAZING photographer. He managed to capture all the aspects of my wedding just himself. His pictures are phenomenal and I couldn't ask for a better photographer.

After almost 3 months of looking at our amazing wedding photos (December 2023 wedding), I realized…read moreI never wrote a review for Matt Montalvo Photography, and he deserves for the public to know just how good he is. I read lots of reviews for Austin area photographers and just loved Matt's sample photos. Lucky for us, Matt was available to photograph our wedding. He showed up on time and captured beautiful moments during our wedding, but his true talent shined when we stepped outside to take photos. Matt coached us (and our kids) on how to pose and made magical memories that we truly cherish. For the price and the time we had Matt on site, he did a phenomenal job. While we were reluctant to spend money on a professional photographer, we also didn't want to risk missing precious photos with family and friends. Hire Matt Montalvo Photography and you will get exactly the photos you wanted without even asking. Matt is a pro and it shows. Hire him and know your photos will make you and your family look better than you imagined.

I had booked them for my October wedding for video, and my photographer just filed bankruptcy...I called in near tears to see if I could book him for photography as well and he worked out a deal for me that just made my day. I love his style and can't wait to move forward with my special day knowing that I will not have to deal with a shady company and instead someone who believes in true customer service and is a great family person and takes great pictures from what I have seen! Thanks so much again for being just a great person, one million karma points to you!

Josh is a godsend! 5 stars isn't even high enough of a rating. We came across Azulox and thought…read morethe photos in their portfolio were beautiful. I loved the fact that the photos were artsy/colorful and not just the typical portraits. But what really sealed the deal was when we talked to Josh over Skype. He stated he doesn't charge by the hour for weddings because then he would be too focused on time, and also because it's a (hopefully) once in a lifetime experience that shouldn't be limited by time. He definitely followed through - we had an almost 10hr engagement session followed by another the next day!! How many photographers can you say would be ok with that? He really uses his surroundings to strengthen the photo as well. Andrew is his partner that did our 2nd day of engagement session and he was just as passionate, and just as friendly. During the wedding they really made sure to capture some of the best moments. I couldn't have asked for a better team!

Tim is not just a great photographer. He is an incredible photography instructor too…read more I have gone through 4 different classes that Tim has taught for a total of about 30 hours of classroom or field training. Every one of Tim's classes were packed with knowledge for hobby and professional photographers alike. As a master photographer, Tim has spent decades learning and sharing what he knows with other fledgling photographers. I highly recommend Tim's classes for anyone who wants to improve their skills. I have made back many times more money in fees that I spent on his classes.

Outstanding, very professional photographer. I recently had a session for album cover art and music…read morepromotion photos. He's easy to work with, very intelligent and has an amazing portfolio. He's not cheap, but charges professionally for professional work. I work by the hour or gig, too; I understand charging what one is worth. Two things to note: His studio work is in a shared space (which works fine) rather than a permanent studio (lots of it is on location, of course), and he doesn't accept checks (and upcharges for credit cards). Can't say I blame him. That's easily handled by electronic payment such as Venmo or direct bank transfer, no muss, no fuss. I'll update this when the album cover's finished.

I searched through almost 90 websites of Austin photographers and eliminated all but three. Most were the same dull, stock poses and backgrounds that don't tell you anything about the person in the picture. Of the three whose portfolios I liked, one was VERY expensive, one didn't reply to my query for more than two weeks...and one was John Langford. John was very prompt in responding, answered all my questions, and -- most importantly -- GOT what I was looking for. We set up an appointment and it was fun and easy, not like my previous photo shoots. John has a great eye, makes good suggestions on poses and expressions, and I was super-thrilled with the results of our session. Everyone who's seen the pix has been impressed, because John truly captured my personality and sense of humor. These are the best promo shots I've ever had! And the bonus is that John is such a nice, funny guy, easy to talk with and very creative. You will NOT be disappointed in the pictures John does for you!

We had forgotten to tell him we were bringing our dogs to the venue for some pre-ceremony photos (oops...) but they were so relaxed about working it in. Even with our crazy dogs and chaotic families, Jeff & his wife were calm and good-humored throughout the whole event. They were familiar with our venue, so they had some really great suggested photo spots, but they were also totally happy to incorporate all of our requests too. As for the photos, WOW. Seriously stunning. We have hundreds and hundreds of absolutely gorgeous photos, and you can find a photo for every single guest. It took about 4 weeks to get them all back, and we got some sneak peek photos about 1.5 weeks after the wedding. It was all completely worth the wait, we are so so so happy and grateful to have had Jeff for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more.

Jeff was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very willing to tailor his efforts to fit our…read moreneeds and vision for the day, and I appreciated how easy he was to work with over email - especially across 2 years of postponements due to COVID! He was always so quick to respond. When the wedding finally arrived, he put us and our families at ease. The groom and both fathers are pretty vocal in their dislike of photos, but Jeff managed to win even them over - he was professional but fun, and the suggestions that got us all laughing led to some of the best photos during the family portraits. We did a two-hour session earlier in the week before the wedding with just the bride and groom, to save time during the packed wedding day, and this ended up being a great call. Not only did we get some incredibly striking photos in a different setting than what was available during the wedding itself (like in front of a jaw-dropping sunset), we also had the opportunity to get comfortable with Jeff and his shooting style. Highly recommend. The photos turned out amazing, which is a huge understatement. He put together the gallery after the wedding faster than I was expecting, and sent us access to an online gallery. He had already picked out some highlights, but sent us everything so we could go through ourselves. He also did a few touch-ups for us that meant a lot - like removing an accidental photobomb from another vendor when my dad and I were walking down the aisle. Overall - an amazing experience! I've never had professional photos done before, and the candid moments he was able to catch of us I will cherish forever.

We have never even had a professional family portrait taken of us. Now that my kids are much older - one teenager and two tweens, I don't want to miss out on many moments with them.

He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and the his demeanor was very laid back which made the whole experience very easy! The locations chosen for our day was ideal and the weather was amazing! In addition to our experience, the communication before and after our session was very smooth. Sean always responded promptly and the process to explore and choose pictures through the photo gallery was very simple and user friendly.
