John Paul ODonnell Photography Full Description
My name is John Paul ODonnell and I’m a classically trained professional photographer with a career that spans 24 years. My passion and excitement for my job has taken me all over Europe, specialising in Fashion and Wedding photography. To date I have over 450 fashion assignments and 2000 weddings under my belt. The bride at my very first wedding was a Christian Dior model with high expectations, and it was this assignment in particular that taught me the importance of creating timeless images where attention to detail is paramount. At a later assignment for a film production company, I was tasked with photographing pro skiers on the couloirs of the French Alps. This involved me having to drop from a helicopter where I had just one chance to get it right. And that’s what drives me forward: One spectacular event, and just one opportunity to be the best I can possibly be in order to deliver exceptional, creative and unique photographs. Clicking the shutter is just a small part of what I do. Meeting people, having fun, and building a rapport is an essential part of my work. In fact, many wedding guests assume I’m a family friend when they see the way I interact with my clients. I love this part of my job – I love talking to and hearing about them, and I love watching their stories unfold on what will be one of the most important days of their lives. But when the day is over, there’s still so much more work to be done. With up to 800 beautiful moments captured, the editing process begins. Each chosen image is perfected before printing commences, and as I started my career as a printer, my standards are extremely high. My style is very much fun, natural, and candid, with my classical roots evident. But if there’s something in particular you have your heart set on, that’s fine too. So, whether you’re looking for contemporary or classical images in either colour or black and white, please get in touch for a no obligation chat, or to arrange a consultation. John Paul

JP was punctual, polite, well presented and a calming influence on the day. He carried out any requests we had and controlled a very large wedding party extremely well. He went about his business without causing any issues and we are still getting comments on how much they liked his way of working.

Myself...
Myself and my new husband, Giuseppe, are not the most natural when it comes to having our photos taken but JP made both of us feel at ease and relaxed. All of our friends and family said how great he was on the day, he was a big hit with everyone! We also loved how he wrote a blog about our big day, it was lovely to read it from another persons perspective. We would highly recommend him.

From our initial meeting with John Paul we felt he was the right photographer for us and our wedding. He went through the whole process with us allowing us to see his vision for our day. We had a pre shoot with him at our venue which helped me enormously as I'm shy when it comes to having my picture taken. JP made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. On our wedding day he was brilliant with all our guests, who all thought he was fabulous. Our pictures look amazing. Massive thank you to JP
