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.To describe the service that I received from Cheryl B. Manning for my engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and our wedding day...

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.Cheryl Manning of Manning2Manning Photography was our photographer and from the get go she was the one the highlights of our wedding process.

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.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!

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!!I can't say enough about Cheryl Manning's photography.

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!We are so happy that we chose Cheryl as our photographer and Mel as our DJ.

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.Cheryl was the true life of our wedding, everyone liked her personality and she was a dynamic and professional photographer.

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.My wedding was June 26, 2010 at Haywood Hall in Raleigh, NC....a beautiful, historic, southern home tucked away in downtown.

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.The best decision my husband and I ever made was to hire Cheryl Manning of Manning2Manning as our photographer.

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.Cheryl did an amazing job on our Engagagement photos.

The Cheryl I saw in other comments and the one I got are two VERY different people!!!! Indeed, she is very personable and easy to talk to but that is all! I hired her because she was listed as a photojournalist (meaning she takes candid photos not posed) but I didn't know they were supposed to be garbage. She took more photos than the contract stated; however, out of 300+ pictures, only about 50 were good enough to keep. We signed the contract with "must have" pics but didn't get the majority of them. No pics of people at the tables (her comment was that she doesn't like taking pictures of people eating), no pics of the family (her comment was we were too busy and didn't tell her we were ready), the bride's hair was on her face and Cheryl didn't bother moving it out of the way. Most of the pictures were blury and her idea of "editing" is cutting people off te picture - never mind if the hand is still on the other person. We did get to see the first batch of pictures fairly soon (by the way the groom is in the ARMY and was being deployed 23 days after the wedding and never got to see any pics before he left). We maintained correspondence - all eMail (which she replied in a timely manner) but they were just excuses after excuses. Eight months later, we have not received our order (which I paid in full before the event) and when I called to talk I had to leave a message which she replied a day later in an eMail (NOT IN PERSON) that I was harrassing her. However, two days later we received everything.
Great value - YES; but you get what you pay for. I totally regret hiring her. The only thing she has going for her is, indeed, her personality.The Cheryl I saw in other comments and the one I got are two VERY different people!!!!
