Ciara was so accommodating and very helpful. We had an elopement so no bridal party. She helped me with everything from… getting in and out of my ball grown to everything else which isn’t a photographer’s responsibility. She was a superstar. She pushed us into so many photographs that were out of our comfort zone and we have a smile on our faces thinking about the experience now. We highly recommend her.read more

We did a beach family shoot with Ciara during the summer and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She made the experience… so enjoyable and made everyone feel relaxed. She was excellent with our 2 small kids and they engaged so well with her. We got so many lovely photos and will definitely be doing it again in the future!read more

We had some family photos taken by Ciara recently and they were absolutely brilliant. The pictures are incredible but… Ciara put everyone at ease throughout and you never felt like you were being bossed around. Absolutely delighted with how it all turned out. I would highly recommend.read more

Amazing honeymoon photoshoot in Killarney! We are honestly just blown away by the photos, they are better than we could… have ever dreamed and Ciara captured us in the beautiful setting in such a relaxed and natural way. It was a pleasure to work with her and she really put us at ease to make it such a fun experience. We will treasure these photos forever and are so grateful for her amazing talent and skill in photographing everything to perfection, even in 30°C heat! We cannot recommend her highly enough.read more

When my publisher called me about my upcoming book requesting a photograph for the book jacket, I immediately went to… the directories in Kerry, and found Ciara O’Donnell. I consider it fortunate that I did so!Ciara is the consummate professional, she went to work immediately and produced distinguished photographs that will grace the back of my book. I found her a pleasure to work with, and I have recommending her to many friends who intend to marry. Her wedding photography is exquisite. Michael J. Mason, Ph.D.read more

Ciara has the most wonderful eye for capturing pictures; which I used when revamping my business website. She was so… easy to work with, and provided me with plenty of ideas and suggestions in how best to portray my business in a visual way. I was extremely impressed and pleased with the finished album collection and I will only hire Ciara again for any future professional projects.read more

Ciara took photographs of me for my new website emmalarkinbooks.com in the Summer of 2020. She was an absolute pleasure… to deal with. Ciara listened to my ideas as to what I wanted to portray on my website in terms of photography. She made brilliant location suggestions. On the day of the shoot, Ciara really put me at ease, it was a fun day! The end result, the photographs were stunning and are a huge asset for my website.read more

We recently had a shoot at our premises to create a bank of images for getting our e-commerce website up and running.… As a restaurant it is something we’ve wanted to do for four years and with all the change in business focus brought on by the recent health crisis in the country it was time to get online. Ciara was incredibly professional as always (this is not our first time working with her as she photographed our wedding too!). Never daunted by a big project she just gets stuck in and is constantly working in the lead up, incredibly prolific during a shoot and exceptionally prompt in postproduction and delivery. Photographing food is not straightforward but in one day Ciara managed to capture so accurately the essence and heart of the business including the food, the setting, the ethos core values and family dynamic behind the business. She’s an absolute pro and such a brilliant personality. She’s creative, dynamic and versatile while being so able to capture what a client is trying to portray and calm anxieties all at once. We’d recommend working with Ciara for any photography purpose!read more
