Testimonials

Have a quick look at what some of our clients have had to say.

I have used Des (Photos by Des) on a few occasions when I needed professional photos taken for my business. At all times I have found Des to be extremely professional in all aspects of his business, from prompt responses to initial queries, to the exceptional quality of his photos. Des's eye for detail makes him a natural. His ability to conduct the photoshoot in a relaxed manner, making you feel at ease, while also confident in the knowledge that you're in the hands of a consummate professional. I would highly recommend Des O'Neill, Photos by Des.

We are so happy about Des and the pictures we got at our wedding day. He was all we could ask as a photographer. He was there through the whole day making sure he got each caption for every moment... He managed to capture all the important moments we wanted plus he is a super friendly person that will adapt to your needs. We are thankful to Des for the things he did for us and the extra details he put effort on. Hope to be working with him in many occasions.

We first met Des in 2013 when he photographed our first annual 5K School Fun Run, and to say he added great fun to the day is an understatement - he is such a pleasure to work with and has a great rapport with people both young and not so young. Over the years on various occasions throughout the school calendar, he has photographed many school events such as concerts, school celebrations, awards ceremonies, graduation and debs night and taken photographs for use in school publications, for our social media platforms and our student profile photos. Des has become part of the school community, is so professional and has a way with people, putting them at ease and has over the years come up with great ideas for our publications and displays. The quality of his work is excellent We look forward to many more years working with him.

It was easy for me to expect a great job from Des as in the past few years I had admired many photos he had taken. I was surprised by his attention to detail and struck by his gentle, respectful approach to positioning me wherever he wanted me to stand. What impressed me most was how much fun working with Des was. My smiles were all genuine and I am delighted to recommend him to everyone. Des’s professional approach to his work, combined with the passion for what he does and his talent in making his work fun meant that I could relax and enjoy getting my photo taken. He is a skilled craftsman and I recommend him unreservedly.

5* Des came highly recommended to me & he surpassed my expectations when he took our large extended family photo. Really appreciate the time you gave on the day. He listens & has a natural ability to create a relaxed atmosphere and captures smiles and moments even unstaged movements. Des gives his time to our local festival each year taking thousands of photos with no charge as his way to give back to community. Never stop! Des your amazing. Des has taken all my communion photos and his best moment was taking my shy sons communion photos in my garden by getting him to show him his favourite spots. Outstanding photos and my son smiling from ear to ear. Des can enhance the photos on his computer too, our power line pole disappeared!! I would recommend PHOTOSBYDES time & time again. A pleasure to deal with. THANK YOU so much for what you do so well.

I have been privileged to know Des O’Neill of Photos by Des for the past 8 years through my involvement with Dunshaughlin Tidy Towns Group and other community activities. During this period I have engaged with Des on numerous occasions in the course of his career activities, that of photographing community events in our area, and I have always found him to be personable, highly professional and courteous to those he encounters. Our Tidy Towns Group and indeed many other organisations in our village have been recipients of his generosity when on many occasions he has volunteered his precious time and professional services for the benefit of the community, for which we are most grateful. In the years that I have know Des I have never failed to be impressed by his skill and expertise in his chosen field of photography and I regard him as a man of integrity.
