Timeless, like you
Whether it’s your engagement, wedding, or family story, I strive to document an enduring sense of connection—one that lasts far beyond a single day. These images aren’t just photographs; they’re a collection of memories, deeply rooted in intimate moments, relationships, and the quiet details that make your story uniquely yours.
A little about me
I’m Matty Joel Chatburn—thanks for stopping by.
I’m an editorial wedding photographer with a background in fashion and editorial photography. My approach blends cinematic storytelling with a documentary feel—capturing real moments with depth, elegance, and nostalgia.
I focus on the in-between moments, the fleeting glances, and the effortless beauty of your day, ensuring every image feels natural, refined, and deeply personal. My work isn’t about stiff poses—it’s about connection, movement, and photographs that instantly take you back to how it felt.
Originally from Newcastle, Australia, I’m now based in Austin, Texas, where I live with my young family. We love bookstores, the beach, and a lot of coffee (just the parents).
My job is to capture it all—effortlessly and honestly. My goal is to create images that blend timeless elegance with a sense of nostalgia. You focus on being present, and I’ll take care of the rest.
My packages
I take a story-driven, relaxed approach to every job I take on—whether it’s a family shoot or an engagement or your wedding. My focus is on capturing genuine moments that feel like you—the natural interactions, the in-between glances, and the effortless connection you share.
I’ll guide you when needed, but more than anything, I want you to feel at ease. No stiff poses—just a space where you can be present with each other while I document it all in a way that feels honest, timeless, and true to your story.

We had an amazing experience working with Matty! His talent and keen eye for the perfect shots truly stood out, capturing not only beautiful images but also my wife and I’s personalities. As someone with little experience in front of the camera, I really appreciated Matty’s easy-to-follow guidance on poses and expressions, which made the entire process feel natural and enjoyable. His creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident from start to finish—he prepared us thoroughly, arrived on time, and delivered the final images with impressive speed. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend him!
