About

We are destination wedding photographers based out of Charlotte, NC. We began our business in 2007 and now have more than 12 years of experience photographing weddings together. During that time we have photographed nearly 300 beautiful weddings and countless sessions. We met each other at 11 years old, started dating in 2004 at 14, and got married in 2011. We love getting to work together!

Can't recommend them enough!

Heather and Walter made our elopement ceremony more special than we could have imagined. Our photos are STUNNING. Such a fun young couple and our photos are truly authentic to who we are as a couple.They respond promptly to emails and texts and are punctual to sessions. I would recommend them 10x over!

Amazing photos!

WOW!! Heather and Walter were so amazing to work with! They were our first hire of our wedding planning process and I couldn't be happier! They were open and communicative with us the entire time. We quickly planned engagement photos that turned out amazing and were so much fun to take. They were so much fun to work with and kept us smiling on a hot summer day for engagements and on a cold, snowy day for our wedding! Heather was also able to recommend my hair and make up artist as well. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we got them while we were still on our honeymoon!! I can't say enough nice things about our experience with Heather and Walter. On the day of our wedding Heather was funny, and kept the room calm while I was getting ready. They truly captured our love and the real feeling of our wedding. It was so hard to pick a photographer! There were so many choices out there and in the end they were down to earth, trustworthy, good at what they do and knowledgeable about other aspects of the wedding day! They made me feel like I was the only bride in the world and took the time to make our day special. I would hire The Burks Photography over and over again!

Quick responses from photographers

I had been following them on social media for a while. I had seen other church members use them for their weddings and was impressed. They do structured posing for their engagements but it gives you the best quality. They have done over 200 weddings so they know what they are doing. To me their photos stand out among other photographers. If you can afford and can grab them please get them. They give you a preview the day of the engagement session or wedding and a blog post a couple days later. They acted as if they knew the other vendors we had and the vendors worked really well together. Family has been impressed with photos.

Heather and Walter were such a joy during both our engagement session and our wedding. They made the experience very relaxed and comfortable, and that really came through in the pictures! They were incredibly organized from the time we booked with them to the day of the wedding. Heather didn't hesitate to help me whenever I had questions. I was extremely impressed with how thorough and professional they were both months before and during the wedding. Our pictures are beautiful, we were so thankful to have the Burks capturing our big day!!

I really stumbled on something amazing when I found The Burks Photography! We used them for engagement pictures and for our wedding, and we absolutely could not be happier. On our wedding day, among all the chaos, they were ready with an order for all the pictures, even with our big blended families! They were responsive, professional, made us feel very comfortable, and had our pictures ready within a week! We recommend them 100%. Thank you guys so much!

When I found the Burks online, I knew they were the ones for us. Their website is completely upfront about everything. There was a free engagement session, where we got to meet and get used to being in front of a camera before the wedding. The part I love the most is the color and quality of our photos, their editing is the best, and you get all the photos in black and white as well. The day of the wedding they were our superheroes. It rained leading up to our ceremony time and during, they shifted times around for us, were on the weather radar keeping track for us, and helped keep everyone in line. I love love love the Burks and would recommend anyone to hire them for their wedding.

The Burks were amazing photographers. We have wonder photographs from our engagement session as well as our ceremony and reception. They are professional and fun to work with. They also have a fast turnaround time for delivering the photographs back to you after they are taken.

I can't say enough good things about Heather and Walter! Heather responds to her email within minutes. I emailed them once while they were sitting at the Panther's game, she emailed me right back. She is very responsive and gives you all the information you need the first time. You don't have to re-ask questions. They were awesome to work with. Everything from our engagement pictures to our wedding day! They are professional in every aspect. They are very efficient with their time. One thing I had many guests tell me for two people they were everywhere! Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were absolutely stunning. I couldn't have asked for better pictures. Their work is phenomenal! All it took was for me to look through their portfolio and I was convinced they were going to do my wedding pictures! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and would use them in the future!
