About – PhotosByDes

Hi, I'm Des

I am a professional photographer, originally from Dublin but living in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath since 1999. I am passionate about photography and feel very privileged to be able to make my passion my career. There is a special magic in capturing beautiful moments, preserving them in time for future generations to enjoy.

My style of photography is one which creates a relaxed and natural environment that helps me capture personalities at their best, resulting in photos that are full of life and atmosphere.

I believe photography can take you on a journey and I would love to be part of your journey capturing your special moments in time.

Some questions I get asked from time to time

How much will it cost?

This is the number one question. I will provide you with a quotation when we have discussed your criteria, travel, time allocation and finished products. There are so many variables involved, that it is impossible to create a “one suits all” price list. The only exception to this, is School Photography which has its own price structure and is available to parents/guardians when viewing their photographs online

Do you require a deposit?

A 30% deposit is required for all bookings

Do you travel?

Yes. If you have a special location or venue, I will travel to it. Depending on location, there may be travel expenses or additional charges, but this is dependent on the location and will be discussed in full at time of booking

Do you provide video services?

Unfortunately not. My passion is photography, however, I have worked alongside some excellent videographers and I can pass on their contact details on request

What is Client Login?

The Client Login is a private, password protected section on my website where all of your photographs are placed for viewing only by you and your invited family and friends. It also allows your family and friends to purchase prints online, if required.

Do you offer Engagement Photoshoots?

Yes, I do. Many couples have a favourite location and time of day. Working together, we can produce a fabulous image of the two of you. Price is dependent on your requirements.

Are your landscape photographs for sale?

Yes, all landscape images are for sale. Pricelist is for an unframed image only. Should you require a framed image, please contact me for quotation as pricing is dependant on type of frame, mounts etc. All images are subject to post and packaging charges depending on your location.
