3. Booking Photography Services
Submitting an inquiry, requesting pricing, scheduling a call, or completing a contact form does not automatically reserve a photography session or event date.
Photography services are reserved only after the applicable booking requirements have been completed, which generally include a signed agreement and required retainer.
Booking requirements and payment schedules may vary depending on the service selected.
4. Retainers and Payments
Certain photography services require a nonrefundable retainer to secure the scheduled date.
Our standard wedding photography retainer is $250, unless otherwise specified in the applicable agreement.
Retainers are applied toward the total contracted amount.
Payment deadlines, accepted payment methods, additional fees, and any outstanding balances are governed by the signed agreement.
Applicable sales taxes may be added to photography services and products as required by law.
5. Cancellations and Rescheduling
Photography cancellations, date changes, and rescheduling requests are governed by the applicable signed photography agreement.
Our general policies are available on our Cancellation Policy page:

Photographs and videos are created using professional judgment and artistic discretion.
The selection, composition, lighting, editing style, and final presentation of photographs and videos are determined by Doug Burke Photography, subject to the express terms of the signed agreement.
Specific photographs, poses, moments, or outcomes cannot be guaranteed unless expressly addressed in the applicable agreement.
7. Photography Delivery and Editing
Wedding photography galleries are typically delivered within 30 to 45 days, while wedding highlight films generally require approximately six to eight weeks.
Delivery timelines for portraits, headshots, and other services may vary.
Any binding delivery deadline, number of images, retouching arrangement, or file-format requirement is determined by the client’s signed agreement.
Unedited proofs, original camera RAW files, and additional editing services are not automatically included unless specifically agreed upon.
