From the very first conversation with JP, we both knew we wanted him to do our wedding photos.JP has such a great calming demeanour and really put us at ease on the day. He really understood what we wanted and was also able to give us some really good ideas. Other than for the posed photos, we didn’t even know he was there! The guests all commented on how professional he was too, such a great guy!JP was not only immensely talented but also incredibly punctual. He respected our timeline, ensuring that we got all the shots we wanted without feeling rushed. His experience was evident as he smoothly guided us through various poses and settings, making the entire process effortless and enjoyable.The photo album is just gorgeous, JP really has an eye for positioning, it was well worth the wait!JP, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for everything, you have captured our most treasured day beautifully. S&D xx

John Paul photographed my good friends wedding this weekend and honestly wow! The photos I’ve seen are amazing but how he was on the day was what made it, he joined in with the banter and had to put up with us rowdy bunch! He truly fit in and felt like part of the wedding party whilst still being so professional. Would highly recommend!

We cannot thank JP enough!!
When looking for a photographer for our wedding it seemed to be an impossible task, we then met JP and instantly knew we wanted him for our wedding, he made us feel comfortable from the get go months before our wedding and this was repeated on the day!

All our guests have commented on how amazing JP was and my Nan described him as fitting in like one of the guests… just with the best camera! His memory remembering all our guests names was incredible and made everyone feel at ease 💕

We only had our wedding last week and have been so impressed with the photos JP has shown us so far… cannot wait to see the rest!!

Thank you so much, we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Well what can I say about JP
we have know Jp a long time he originally did our two close friends weddings and once we had our son George he did our new born shoot. We had no doubts in our minds that it would be anyone else todo our wedding. Jp made us all feel at ease the entire day and help keep my Nerves calm. All of our bridal party and guests said that he was such a lovely man and had such a laugh with all our guests (felt like part of the family) his photos are out of this world and managed to capture the moments that often get missed. Again Jp thank you so much for everything I’m sad it’s done wish we could do it all again.

Amazing photographer! Really happy with the service provided.

Shanelle Brown recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

John Paul was phenomenal from the first meeting all the way through. We were let down by another photographer and John Paul was recommended to us. We met him at the studio and instantly clicked and knew that he was perfect for us. He was laid back, listened to everything we said and snuck in a few surprises that we didn’t know we wanted but just took our breath away. He captured us and our personality perfectly and our wedding album truly reflects this. It is beyond what we imagined and the perfect capture of the day, its like reading a story book.
Would highly recommend, especially for anyone that’s nervous in front of the camera. Perfect service and extraordinary talent. Thank you John Paul.

Danielle Mayo recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

One of the easiest and best decisions we made about our wedding was hiring JP as our photographer. From the first time we met with him, JP put us at ease and talked us through his photography style and exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He made sure we got all the shots we wanted as well as a lot we hadn’t even thought of. Every guest we have spoken to has commented on how amazing our photographer was and how he made them feel comfortable and they haven’t even seen the pictures yet! JP slots in like a member of the family and captures all the moments that you want to remember on your wedding day. Our pictures are unreal and literally took our breath away. JP, once again thank you for being truly amazing and making our day so easy (and stitching up the rip in my dress!), can’t wait to see the finished album! x

Fay Catlin  recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

We came across JP who had done a few friends wedding photos and loved his style! We booked a meeting had a lovely chat to go through our vision for our wedding, we instantly felt comfortable and at ease! JP has always been very prompt with messaging, will answer any questions (even the dumb ones) and always happy to help! On our wedding day he made all our friends, family and importantly my husband and l feel confident and at times silly in front of the camera and the photos were utterly stunning! We recently got back our wedding albums which perfectly captured the love and fun from our day! 9 months on and family are still commently how brilliant JP was!
Cannot recommend enough if l could give higher then 5 stars l honestly would

I met JP on my first visit looking for suppliers for our wedding. On meeting JP he made me feel relaxed and not pressured. He explained what he did and gave me the opportunity to meet other photographers but they did not have the same credentials as JP. I met him again and luckily he was able to work with him for our wedding due to covid we had to postpone but was lucky to be able to re-book him for our new date. On the day JP made us all feel comfortable and worked hard to bring the best out of us all. The bridal party commented on his skill to relax the group and made the day run smoothly. I would be happy to recommended JP.

Lucy Richardson recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

Booking JP was a complete no-brainer! The minute we met him we knew he was the wedding photographer for us. He took time to ask about our family set up which no other photographer did and on a personal level that was so important to us. He supported us through our covid cancellation and when our big day finally came, he made us feel like ours was the most important wedding. His photography is out of this world. As a person who loathes pictures of myself, I was dreading seeing them, but somehow he has managed to capture images that made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever! Having him at a smaller covid restricted wedding was all the more important as they way he interacted with our family and friends made him feel like an extra guest! All our guests that we sadly had to cancel due to covid have all said that they felt like they were at our wedding from seeing his photos which captured beautifully all the emotions of the day. Do not hesitate to book him! Thank you from the bottom of my heart JP.x

Sarah Landragin recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

Cannot rave about JP enough!!! He made our wedding extra amazing!! Not just the mind blowing photography skills and ideas he had but also such a great personality inside and out!! We laughed, we cried and He got it all!!! You’ll be stupid not to book this man for your photography we highly recommend him xxx

Emma Nancarrow recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

JP has been amazing every step of the way both on the lead up to our wedding and on the day. As soon as we met JP at a wedding open day we knew he would be great, as he makes you feel comfortable right away which was so important to us as we are not the most comfortable with having our photos taken. The whole process booking and organising everything was so easy and meeting with him feels like you are meeting with a friend already.
On the day JP looked as smart as our guests and fit right into the crowd. Since the wedding loads of our guests have commented about his friendly yet professional nature. They definitely felt just as ease around him as we did. JP took time to understand our guests, who was who and what photos were important to us. The whole day with JP was full of fun and laughter, if I was asked what I would say JP could improve on, I honestly would not be able to think of a single thing to say. We are so excited to see the photos!

Michael and Kate Rogan recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

JP photographed our wedding in September 2018 and what a day it was! We can not recommend JP highly enough, the pictures that he took were absolutely incredible. JP was a great part of our day, he made it fun and enjoyable and he did truly feel like another guest at our wedding! Our wedding album we got is just everything and more, it’s just perfect. He is the best photographer in our opinion! Thank you so much JP, Michael and Kate xxx

Matt Lofting recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

In April 2019 JP was the photographer at our wedding. I have known JP since I worked at a wedding venue back in my teens. I always thought he was brilliant at the job and wanted to have JP as our photographer from the moment we started planning the wedding. JP is extremely professional, yet manages to have plenty of fun with the wedding party and works tirelessly to ensure he gets the shots you want on your special day. We received so much positive feedback about JP from our guests and would not hesitate in recommending JP’s services! We are really pleased with the album and have a USB with hundreds of photos taken throughout the day. JP is an absolute star and you will not be disappointed if you book him for your wedding!

Alexandra Russell recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

The photos captured on our special day were of the best quality. The quantity of photos were great too. Me, my husband, bridesmaids and guests were so comfortable. John Paul made us feel at ease from the first time we met him at the Wedding Fayre at Fanhams Hall. All the way to the wedding day. We got a USB, thank you cards, and a few albums and a big wall picture. He is amazing at what he does and we will ask him always now for professional photos. Everyone who sees the pictures compliment how fantastic they are and how lucky we are. We agree wholeheartedly, thank you JP x

Danielle Ross recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

JP photographed our wedding back in September. He was amazing, the pictures are amazing. He put everyone at ease on the day and honestly felt like I had known him for years. I couldn’t recommend him enough xx

Gary Woodhatch recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

JP done our wedding photos 15 years ago now when we met at a wedding, who since has been a great support in all our family photo requirements from christenings through to product photo shoots. A true professional and a friend for life. Thanks for all your help and support over the years. 👍🏻

Caroline Stearn recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

The professionalism of JP as a photographer and the quality of his pictures are phenomenal. He truly connects with you as a person to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and provides an excellent service! He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I only hope we have the chance to work together again. From the moment we met at the Waltham Abbey Marriott wedding fair, we knew we had to book him. Two years of planning later and we received personalised thank you cards, a USB with all our photos on, an A4 album, x2 smaller albums for both sets of parents and a lovely canvas print to go up in our house. Every wedding guest and family member had something great to say about him! I wouldn’t struggle to recommend him to anyone, he is extremely skilled at what he does which is why he is considered one of the best in the business! Would 100% use him again for all family photos, he’s fantastic! Thank you JP! x

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value.

What an absolute pleasure it was to have John Paul photograph our wedding, we got married two weeks ago and from the moment I spoke to JP he totally relaxed me, he’s such a lovely guy who really is passionate about his work. JP was recommended to me by a good friend and I have to say he exceeded all expectations.
I would recommend JP for any type of photography as he’s that good. All of our wedding pics are really stunning, we have really beautiful pictures to cherish forever thanks to JP, all our family and friends sung JP’s praises to say what a nice chap he is and he got everyone really relaxed in front of the lens. It felt as though we’ve always known him, my husband was so impressed too. Thanks so much JP your amazing! We will recommend you to everyone 🤗 xxx

JP is a fantastic photographer and would definitely reccomend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. His photos are just breathtaking. He knows how to get a great shot which meant that we werent away from our guests for long periods of time. Some of the best shots were when we didnt even know they were being taken. JP made us feel so comfortable, made us laugh and took the stress out of the ‘shoots’. We now have a beautiful album with a story of our day. Thank you JP x

Umar Ali recommends John paul ODonnell Photography5 star

I have to apologise for not leaving a review sooner but I literally cannot recommend John Paul enough. He was recently a photographer, along with his videographer, at an absolutely amazing wedding this summer. I have not ever come across someone who can be both comfortable and completely professional at all times. On such an important day, John Paul was a centre of clarity and control during a hectic yet beautiful day. He managed to take a huge number of absolutely gorgeous photographs whilst managing to connect easily with the guests. I have seen the photos and am just waiting for the final products to be delivered, but I know that JP has done a phenomenal job. I could go on but ultimately I have to say that I will recommend this amazingly skilled artist to anyone who is looking to hire a professional yet friendly artist. Thank you so much for your amazing service.

Rebecca Aliberti-Burling recommends John paul ODonnell Photography 5 star

Having JP as our photographer was such an easy decision, as soon as we met him we just clicked with him. He was really able to make us ‘Work it’ on the day. We’ve only seen a couple of official pictures so far but we already know they will be amazing.

Sarah Ballantyne recommends John paul ODonnell Photography 5 star

We haven’t even had our photos yet from JP, but I already know they are going to be amazing. JP you were fantastic on our wedding day it felt like we had an extra friend there and you made me feel comfortable even though I’m not really fond of the camera.
Fantastic guy to have as your photographer I couldn’t recommend enough
Thank you for helping us make the memories xx

Kimberley Corless recommends John paul ODonnell Photography 5 star

When people ask how we chose our wedding photographer, the answer is simple, we clicked with JP straight away. We met JP at a wedding fayre (Three Lakes nr Ware) and as soon as we saw his work and he started chatting to us we knew instantly that we wanted him to photograph our special day. Neither of us were very comfortable infront of the camera but JP was full of ideas and enthusiasm and on the day he kept everybody laughing and made us feel really good about ourselves. If you book JP you are in safe hands and we just want to say a huge thank you for our beautiful photographs. We are really looking forward to picking up our album x

A massive thankyou from my wife and I for our amazing photos. The word legend is thrown around to easily these days but the attention to detail and work ethic by john paul and spotlight weddings makes us feel blessed to have them capture our special day.

After seeing the photos taken at my sister in laws wedding in 2006 we chose to have JP as our wedding photographer for our wedding 3 yrs ago today. Lovely man, who puts everyone at ease. JP is a real people person with a passion for his job. He took some wonderful photos and these look amazing in the storybook he developed for us. So following the birth our first baby this year, we couldn’t think of anyone better to take her first photos and our first photos as a family. JP stopped her tears and got her in some lovely poses. I can’t wait to see the photos and looking forward to having some more taken when she is a little older. We would 100% recommend JP as your photographer. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you JP xxx

Helen and I got married in July 2017 and JP was our photographer on the day at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa. We can’t thank JP enough for his hard work on the day alongside his extremely personable approach which made all our guests feel comfortable. The photos he took were stunning and equally stunning was the album we received having chosen our pictures we wanted a few weeks after the wedding. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending JP to anyone and would strongly advise to stop looking elsewhere and go with JP you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again JP!

Me, my wife and anyone involved in our wedding thoroughly enjoyed working with him and he made it fun and gave us all the direction we needed for the best shots.
J.P is a top bloke and I would recommend anybody to use him for any event, some of the photos produced were cool, unique and above and beyond the expectations of what we imagined could have been done with our shots. Thanks for a great day and some excellent work John Paul!

Louise Watts – reviewed John paul ODonnell Photography – 5 star

If you are getting married or know somebody that is you HAVE to have JP as your wedding photographer or recommend him! JP wasn’t our original photographer, we were having somebody else and a week before the wedding she ended up in hospital, panic was not the word!! We were given JP’s contact details, I believe in fate, and JP doing our wedding was meant to be, I had actually given the photographer some examples of JP’s work that I had found online to show what I wanted my photos to look like! From the moment we first got in touch I knew everything was going to be ok!
On the day JP did an amazing job and lots of our guests commented on what a lovely guy he is!
JP….we literally have no words! The blog you have written is just so lovely and you have everything down to a ‘T’! Then the photos, we started scrolling down and each photo we came to we both let out a gasp! They are just beyond anything we could ever have hoped for! Truly truly stunning, they took our breath away! It was a complete blessing that we were able to have you with us on our wedding day taking our photos! A million thank you’s are not enough!
Lots of love Mr and Mrs Watts x

Having worked with JP a number of times I can safely say you won’t be disappointed. His enthusiasm and attention to detail is first class whilst keeping the mood lighthearted and ensuring everyone is relaxed (pictures look so much better when everyone is relaxed). Look no further…..

Keeley Hoskins reviewed John paul ODonnell Photography – 5 star

We had been to quite a few wedding fairs and seen a lot of photographers, thats were we first met JP. JPs personality shone through and instantly I knew I wanted him to be our photographer! He checked his diary and our date was free! so we made an appointment with him to run through his work and what he does. At our meeting JP made us feel at ease and wanted to get to know us which made it feel special and his work looked amazing! I came out of there happy and confident. On the run up to the wedding we had contact with JP to run through the day with timings etc. On the actual wedding day JP arrived and went about doing what he does best, taking photos! Making all the girls getting ready feel great and comfortable. Throughout the whole day he just made it feel so personal, and professional! He got involved with all of our guests, not just the wedding party, they all commented on how nice/good he was. JP we cannot thank you enough for making our day and memories so special. If you are thinking about booking JP you will not regret it!

Joshua Haley reviewed John paul ODonnell Photography – 5 star

Hi John Paul, It’s been 7 years now since you were at our wedding and what a great day it was. Myself & Lucy just wanted to say we have been to a number of weddings in those 7 years and have realised what a great job you done not just on the day at our wedding but also the after care. I think what stood out for us was how you dealt with certain situations on the day. You never lost your cool and made everyone feel relaxed.

Shame I can’t say the same for some of the other photographers we have come across at other weddings. Most photographers are very annoying and get quite stressed!!

I would highly recommend you to all my family and friends. Even after 7 years we are so grateful for the job you done and are still doing for us even now.

Thanks again John Paul.

Josh, Lucy & Family

As soon as we met JP we had decided that we wanted him to photograph our day (before we had even booked a venue & date). We fell in love with his beautiful work and lovely personality within minutes.

On the day JP made our guests feel at ease and everyone has complimented on what a lovely guy he is!
A very talented man with a really great personality. We all loved his banter too! JP not only took photos but chatted to our guests too… which also helped them to relax around the camera.
It was so lovely to have JP at our wedding, he was a big part of making our day so perfect. We cannot thank him enough.
He has already shown us some of the photos too and they are amazing!!!

Thank you JP for being a part of our special day and for all your hard (and amazing) work!

My sister first used JP at her wedding where he captured such beautiful photos through out the day. He captured so many beautiful memories that will last forever. We had a last minute brain wave (literally last week) to get a photo of us all done for my mum for her 60th and JP managed to squeeze us in last minute and take some stunning photos that made the perfect gift for our mum.

JP is a genuinely lovely guy who will always go that extra mile to ensure you are happy with your photos – Completely professional, always makes you feel totally relaxed and will ALWAYS deliver the most perfect photos. Thank you again JP for your amazing photography and service xxx

I’ve worked with JP at many weddings over the year. Certainly one of the nices blokes to work with, and he’s humour ensure all the photos have natural smiles rather than the “say cheese” type. Wouldn’t hestitate to highly recommend JP and his work!

John Paul was the official photographer for two of my best friends earlier this year at their wedding. To say I was blown away by his photographs and ability to become part of the wedding day is an understatement! The wedding day was amazing and he is genuinely lovely bloke who brings the best out of all! The wedding album he left them with will provide them and their friends with a life time of memories! Highly recommended and when my turn arrives he is the only guy I will be trusting!

John Paul was the photographer for my daughter and her husbands wedding, Keryl and Daniel Hunt, on 6th June 2015. Lovely man, lovely photos. Everything about John Paul is excellent he makes you feel totally at ease whilst taking your photos. He has a wonderful knack when working with children as well as adults. He has an eye for wonderful natural looking photos. When you see the photos he has taken you are totally surprised at the lovely images he manages to capture especially of the children. He fills the day with humour whilst being 100% professional. I would recommend John Paul every time. Thank you John Paul for the wonderful memories of our daughters wedding that you captured for us. Kind regards Denise Buck

We first met John Paul at a wedding fayre at the start of 2014 and he instantly made us feel welcome. We instantly knew this was the photographer for us, we wanted someone fun and who we could connect with on the day, also wanting our family and friends to feel at ease with our photographer and in John Paul we found this. John Paul photographed our wedding in June this year and he certainly didn’t disappoint! He was just brilliant on the day and everyone at our wedding has said how great he was on the day! The photos he took are stunning and being able to capture special moments of our special day is just priceless! We are both so happy we picked you JP and we will certainly be recommending you to any future family or friends that are getting married!

Having worked with John Paul on many occasions, (with our classic wedding cars), I can say he is an extremely professional photographer, with that personal touch. He is booked to photograph my Son’s wedding in two weeks time, he was top of the list to record the day.

Deanne Whiting reviewed John paul ODonnell Photography – 5 star

I ridiculously have a fear of having photos taken as you can imagine on a wedding day, photos are a big part of that and I’m sure I was a nightmare! We searched for a photographer who I clicked with, so on the day I felt as comfortable as possible. As soon as we met JP I knew straight away he was going to be perfect and we weren’t disappointed. On the day he was careful and discreet and captured all the amazing moments of our incredible day and we didn’t even know he was there!! Our family and friends adored him and had some great banter. We now have grea memories we can keep forever of our special day. Thank you JP, you were wonderful!

Dear JP, We would both like to thank you for not only being a top photographer but a top man too.
When choosing suppliers and people to ensure everything is perfect for our wedding day we admit it was a little hard, I guess because we are literally putting the responsibility of someone taking our shots for our big day that we will never regain again.
When reading magazines beforehand as you do, we both decided that photos and a good video we would invest in the most to hold the most value ,which is our memories.
When we met you at your studio it was like a breath of fresh air, all that anxiety just disappeared it felt like we had known you for 10 years and you seemed to just fit in like a jigsaw puzzle and understood what we wanted.
We knew right from the start we had the right person for the job ( apart from you being a spurs fan of course) we wanted someone we could trust, cares about what we wanted and without being overly priced.
Personally I hate having my picture taken but you reassured me it will be ok! and it was.
On the day you were so calming and even though I knew you were there taking photos and chatting to family and friends,but also in a nice way I didn’t notice you were there, but somehow somewhere you managed to be hidden and appear from a tree,log or building to capture the natural shots and not miss a trick however you did make us laugh.
You also picked up and sensed the type of guests, crowd and atmosphere and mingled in.
Right from the start I said to you ” please do not feel uncomfortable I want you join in with us and feel you are part of the family” to which you did and we knew this because of how many family and friends commented and said what a fantastic photographer you are and how funny you were too.
Your moments and captures were spot on and even took shots that we wouldn’t have even thought of.
You accommodated every little detail from tears, emotion, laughter,the old and young generation,silly moments and even the natural drunken ones too!! , it literally was a story book!
Everyone says “Your wedding day will go too fast so make sure you take a step back and try and take it all in” and now I know why people have said that to us because it’s true, but having said that once we see the photos you did capture every little detail and with this we re – lived the whole day again so thank you!
We just like to thank you personally for an amazing job your work is impeccable, your personality , friendly but overall professional character we will never forget! Thank you JP – Claire and Craig X
