Darren C Manning Photography

Zero charges for getting to know each other.

The most important element in any new collaboration with clients both new & existing, is to fully understand what the vison will be for the photographs or shoot. A chanced to get to know each other & ensure that we all feel comfortable in moving forward before making a firm booking. I always say “Lets get engaged before we get married!”

Whatever your event or shoot requirements are first thing to do is at least have a chat. It may well be that we can help with the visualization of what needs to happen - its free to talk! Just fill out the contact form, call, email or just send me a friendly text anytime.

My career began in the Fashion industry over 30yrs ago back in London UK. My experience has led me to understand the importance of creating images that you instantly feel connected with. Storytelling through image is never about one thing, its much more about the holistic approach of bringing in other important contributory elements.

Once we have had some discovery time together (foc),& you & the other stakeholders are happy and ready to book me as your photographer, I have an online booking form that you will need to fill out, after we meet or speak on the phone I will email the link to you. Once that is completed, I will generate a wedding photography contract that will need to be signed off on screen. You will also receive an invoice an a separate email with details on making payment for your deposit. Payments can be made by EFT, Visa or Mastercard. You will get a confirmation email and copy of the signed document as a PDF once the contract has been signed successfully.

Given the world today anything can happen out of the blue, I take bookings well over 12 months in advance. During that length of time I will have other enquiries that come in for the same dates and I will have turned them down. Should a cancellation happen, in all likelihood, I will have lost the opportunity to replace it with another wedding.

 Cancellations less than 3 months before the wedding will require payment in full. Cancellations of anywhere from 6 months before the date of the wedding will require payment of 50% of the chosen package price minus the deposit.
