To describe the service that I received from Cheryl B. Manning for my engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and our wedding day... Amazing, Fabulous, Fantastic and more. The pictures were amazing and Cheryl was wonderful, she was so helpful to us all along the way. She worked with us any way that she could and we were so blessed to have met her through her photography and we have created a wonderful friendship. The entire experience was great and I would do it all over again tomorrow. The turn around for our completed pictures was super quick (which is very important for Bride's when they are thinking about a photographer). Cheryl has such a great talent and an eye for beautiful pictures, I wish I could share my pictures with all of you. Thank you Cheryl for everything, you were awesome.

These pictures were absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were so blessed to have Cheryl Manninng of Manning2Manning play such a huge role in our special day, and we hope that she can continue to capture special moments for us through our lifetime. She has a client forever in us!

Cheryl Manning of Manning2Manning Photography was our photographer and from the get go she was the one the highlights of our wedding process. She started with our engagement session, which was actually a great amount of fun (I mean really who can have fun on a photo shoot?), but Cheryl managed to pull it off. She was up on a ladder and down in the grass trying to get every single angle that she could and she did a fabulous job. Our photos were to us with one week and we were able to use them in our save the date cards. The gallery had 75 edited photos and we have such a large amount to show from. Fast forward to the wedding, she was there one hour early and was able to get along greatly with all of the members of our wedding party and actually was hired for one of my bridesmaid's wedding's for next October. She stayed eights hours (two hours over her contract time and was a joy to be around until the very end) and she had our gallery up for a sneak peek within one week and the photos were flawless. She ever offered a 30% discount on all of our prints for up to three weeks after they were published. One of the best decisions we ever made.

We hired Mel to be our wedding DJ in the spring, and we didn't give the poor guy our music requests & reception instructions until a few days before the wedding! Nonetheless, he handled the situation cheerfully and did a great job. Our guests had a blast dancing and my MIL's family had such a good time that she said she should hire a DJ for parties more often. His fee was lower than another DJ company & we got good value for money.

I can't say enough about Cheryl Manning's photography. She did both my engagement photos and my wedding photos. I was more than pleased. During the engagement session, she was very flexible and very creative with how she shot the photos. She was also very patient with any type of nervousness or discomfort that my husband and I were experiencing. We took tons of photos, but it was very fun, and they came out amazing. She also was very professional with her response time in the days leading up to the wedding. Any email that I sent, received a timely response, and any change that I wanted to make was not a big deal at all. I can't say enough about the job she did at the wedding. Many of my guests were asking about her, and they want to use her for their future weddings and events without even seeing the pictures. Its just something about her. Her attitude is great...and she knows what shes doing. Her prices also beat her competition....she's the best!!

We are so happy that we chose Cheryl as our photographer and Mel as our DJ. We just recently got married but Cheryl's already given us a sneak peak of our photos and they are absolutely gorgeous. As we left the venue our wedding night, Mel gave us a CD of all of our requested songs. Cheryl is so creative and got shots that I would never have thought of. She is so upbeat and easy to get along with. Everyone at the wedding loved her. Not only is she a great photographer, but she doesn't take things too seriously and does whatever you request. Mel is also great, we were unsure of some songs and he picked them out and I couldn't have picked them better myself. These two are a great pair, and you'll definitely get what you want, and have fun doing it!

Cheryl was the true life of our wedding, everyone liked her personality and she was a dynamic and professional photographer. I couldn't have for a more flexible, easy going person to be such an important aspect of our big day. She met with us three times just to make sure every last detail was covered and she captured every last detail of our wedding. The photos were absolutely breathtaking and honestly captured every moment, nothing was missed. She did this with the most upbeat personality and energy. She captured our day perfectly and our moments for a lifetime. I would recommend her 1000 times over if I had to.

My wedding was June 26, 2010 at Haywood Hall in Raleigh, NC....a beautiful, historic, southern home tucked away in downtown. My husband and I wanted an outside garden wedding that captured the "southern charm". After meeting with Team Manning at Haywood Hall, I knew after walking the grounds and taking a tour of the lay of the land, that they could create the southern depiction as we had wanted it to transpire from beginning to end. Each photo displayed those moments with family/friends in color, black and white, and sepia. For us the photography was the most important piece of the event, so that we would be able to tell our wedding story . We were looking for a professional team, that could be expert consultants, and that was in reality of our individual budget. We had met with two other overly proud photographers in the Raleigh area but were less than impressed with their services. It was when we met with Cheryl and Mel, that we knew that Manning2Manning had the contract. I would refer them to anyone even if my budget was wide open.

The best decision my husband and I ever made was to hire Cheryl Manning of Manning2Manning as our photographer. She is one of the most creative persons I have ever met and made our wedding day a complete blast, everyone loved her upbeat personality and not to mention, she took over 2,000 photos at our wedding. All of which we loved every single one. She ultimately made our wedding day the best day of our lives....hands down.

Cheryl did an amazing job on our Engagagement photos. And on our wedding day she showed up early and went to take photos of my gown which she found to be wrinkled, and she steamed my dress out!!!!
I had made a list of "must have" shots for her to take, but many were missed and that was a definate let down, she did however have all of our photos uploaded in two weeks, one other down side is that there were no cool or creative shots of my husband and I from our wedding day, like near the outdoor fountain or in front of the venue, I feel it was lacking creativity, and felt I had to lead her a little bit.
Overall the picture quality was pretty good. But you cant re-take your wedding photos. Overall I do not regret my decision, we got value for the money we spent and I cant complain, on the upside Cheryl was VERY easy going and fun to work with, her husband also came along as a second shooter.
