Q: What if I need to cancel or move my reservation?

A: We get it, life happens. If you find yourself needing to reschedule your reservation please note there will be a 40% rescheduling fee. All credits must be used within 30 days of the original reservation date. No rescheduling will be accepted within 48 hours of the reservation start time and no refunds will be given.

Q: Is all the furniture included?

A: Yes! All available props, seating, and stands are included with your reservation. We frequently replace furniture due to normal wear and tear, so check with us if you are looking for something specific and we can point you in the right direction. You are welcome to bring in your own pieces to complement your shoot.

Q: Are the rooms suitable for video?

A: Both rooms work great for video with the correct mic setup (which we can rent you), but we recommend booking out both rooms if you need absolutely sound control. There’s a hallway between the rooms, but it isn’t completely deadening. We also share the building with another business, who is typically quiet as mice.

Q: What’s the parking situation?

A: We have over 30 (lit at night) parking spots available for you to park.

Q: Do you rent out gear?

A: Yes! We have an in-house inventory of lights, mics, and camera gear rentable by the hour. Inquire directly for a rate sheet.

Q: What’s the trash situation?

A: We have a small trash can available, but please take larger trash with you when you leave. There’s a dumpster in our parking lot you may use to dispose of larger trash items. You are responsible for returning the studio to its original condition.

Q: Can I arrive early to set up before my clients arrive?

A: Yes! You may arrive 10 minutes before your reservation begins. We often have back to back reservations, so please be considerate of others and prepare to wrap up your shoot before your time slot ends.

Q: How far out can I book?

A: You can book up to 60 days out.

Q: Can I book a tour of The Darkroom?

A: We only offer walk thru’s for events or all-day reservations.

Q: How many people can I bring with me during my reservation?

A: While we love hosting small gatherings, we’d ask you cap your headcount at 12 people per reservation for Room #1 and 40 for Room #2.

Q: Where in Fort Worth are you located?

A: We are 3 miles (5 min) south of downtown Fort Worth + 2 miles east of TCU. There’s great food options + coffee off Magnolia Ave just a short drive away.
