KERRY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY KERRY IRELAND
Style, Personality & Professionalism…

Choosing a photographer whose photographs you love is paramount. If you don’t like their style you won’t be happy with the results.

 Wedding photography requires a unique set of skills. Working well with people on the most important day for their lives is a huge part of that.

I always advise potential brides and grooms to choose someone who they expect to get on with. It’s the second most important criteria in choosing a wedding photographer.

Professionalism is key. In order to trust your photographer you need to be sure they will take the responsibility seriously. I certainly do.

Kenmare,  Co. Kerry, Ireland has a fantastic variety of stunning locations to take some wedding portraits making it the most popular destination wedding location in Ireland.

Relax…
My aim on a wedding is to blend seamlessly into the events of the day, from the morning preparations to the first dance.

I research the event venues in advance so I know what I’m dealing with. Nothing is left to chance.

The most memorable photographs of your wedding day will be captured when you least expect.

I take care not to rush you and your wedding party guests, and hopefully that comes across in my photographs.

Presentation…
I have a strong art and design background and training so how your wedding photos look when you collect them either in print, digital or book form, is of utmost importance to me. I do all my own graphic and layout work to ensure control over the detail…

Beach weddings can be stunning in all weather in Ireland. The landscape makes for a dramatic backdrop.

Me…
I don’t hire auxiliary photographers-it’s just me. I am the photographer, and you will meet with me initially and throughout the planning process, to the day itself, and on to the final presentation of the album and wedding photos. It is a more intimate working relationship, and ensures quality control.

Up to date…
I use the best in Professional Photographic equipment, hardware and software and keep it up to date at all times. I have added to my qualifications over the years most recently in 2008, with a Distinction from Griffith College, Dublin, in Photographic Media.

What I Do- Kildare to Kerry

Since relocating to Tralee, Co. Kerry in 2012, I have been building my reputation as a Wedding Photographer and Portrait Photographer, as well as acquiring a range of business clients whose needs span from Event Photography, to stunning Product and Interior shots.

Events & Advertising your business…

I have taken this a step further by developing advertising and graphic artwork campaigns for some of my clients, photographing & designing ads for publication in print and online.

If your business is online it needs good photography to demonstrate professionalism across the board.

Weddings…

As a wedding photographer I have carried my ability to capture a moment through from my event photography business, with great ease.  As a Kerry Wedding Photographer, I bring the landscape into your images naturally. Kerry is a huge inspiration!

I bring a wealth of creative and artistic experience to my Photography business. I began my career working as a Production Designer in RTÉ before spending almost 20 years in Art Direction & Photography for the Irish TV and Film industry.

Not only do I excel in staging and capturing memorable shots, my experience with graphics and production enable me to create aesthetically delightful images.

Books and printwork…

Unlike many other Irish Photographers, I design and produce my own wedding albums, and create photo storybooks for families, businesses and portfolios.

I have full control over the layout and finish.

You, as a customer can view the books online before printing commences to be sure you are getting what you want.

I also provide an EBook for a small charge to add to your wedding album package.

My books are a casual yet professional presentation platform for your wedding, event or anniversary. Whatever the memory, I can preserve it in a timeless hard-backed glossy book.

I use a Professional Photography Laboratory www.Photolabs.ie in Dublin to print all my standard sized work, and a local Kerry Printer for my large format work.

CIARA O’DONNELL PHOTOGRAPHY
Tralee, Co Kerry, Ireland

Ciara O'Donnell

Creative & Diverse – Professional Photography
I work as an Event, Wedding and Portrait Photographer, in the Munster Area – Kerry-based, but my work takes me anywhere.

Originally from The Curragh Camp, Co. Kildare I moved to Kerry last year with my family, where I have been working with local businesses, individuals, preschools and fashion retail outlets on a frequent basis.

I photograph people, primarily. That is what interests me.

Erica Gimbell, Actress and Singer

Erica from “Fame” was in Dublin filming the “Fame Academy” TV show. I was asked to take her portrait for publicity. She used this image on her new CD for release in Japan in 2010

A Professional & Creative Irish Photographer
I have always been creative, for as long as I can remember and was making things with my hands from a very young age.

I always studied art outside of school hours, learning life drawing from a very young age, all the way through college.

After a brief interest in Architecture, I realised I needed more than that could offer me, I trained as a Designer in Hertfordshire for 3 years before moving on to study Production Design for Film in the Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin and graduating with the first class of Production Designers ever to come out of Ireland. I went straight into RTE to work as a Production Designer where I remained for 5 years.

I was trained in all new technologies while there  – AutoCAD – learning from the very start how to work as part of a team and how the world of television production works.

Freelance Art Director
In 2000 I took the decision to become freelance – this opened me up to the world of Film Production.

I worked as a freelance Art Director for over 12 years.  During this time Photography always played a major role in my life. I always kept up with technology and had a good camera as well as the many old ones I collected along the way! My daily work required me to have and be able to use a camera well, as part of every job I did. Photoshop, Illustrator and other editing software were part and parcel of my everyday work. So I was always up to speed on software too. I went as far as to work as a graphic designer on some of the films I worked on. I decided to re-train as a photographer in 2008 after realising I wanted to try to pursue it as a career. I was already using my photographs for my work, why not crank it up a gear…

In 2008 I graduated with a Higher Diploma (Distinction) in Photographic Media from Griffith College Dublin at night, while still working.

Freelance Photography
So I became a freelance photographer, and now almost exclusively work in that field. Thankfully my new qualification excellerated me into the photographic work as I already had so many production contacts in Film and TV.

When I moved out of Dublin,  it allowed me to work as an events photographer in the community and with local businesses.
