About me!
My name is Jonny Pardoe and I want to welcome you to my photography site.
If you use my services you will get FULL size photographs on a CD with NO watermarks and NO RESTRICTIONS* on using them. I have been told that I will not make money this way as the way to make money apparently is to hold onto the original photographs and sell them individually to people. I don’t work this way as I take pictures so people will look at them and not so they will be eventually be deleted off some random hard drive. I charge people once and they don’t have to come back to me and quibble over reprints.
The photographs are yours to print and you can print them anywhere, anytime!
Do check what other photographers do in this regard because it can be disappointing to only get a handful of images and to have to buy the rest or to only receive limited prints. I have heard this from many people.
Anyway what I may lose in selling prints I make up for in repeat business and recommendations.
I love photography.
I love working with people.
I want the people I work with to be delighted with the work I produce for them.
For me there is a real pleasure in looking over photographs with people and seeing their reactions.
I studied photography at third level in Ballyfermot college of further education and in the Dublin Institute of technology so
I have been grounded in the basic principles of photography and have built on this with master classes and a lot of experience.
I am also insured with O’Brien Finlay insurance.
I have experience getting written permission for locations where required.
I am versatile in that I can do the following and more:
• Weddings
• Actors headshots
• Family portraits
• Individual portraits
• Communions
• Conferences and corporate events
• Product shoots
• Publicity work
• Website work
• Exhibition launches
• Live gigs
• Art exhibitions
• Film and plays
• Houses, Gardens and pets
• Classic Cars
Here is some examples of the feedback I get from Clients:
“Thanks for the shots – they are lovely and can’t wait to see the full set. We found you great on the day and really appreciated your approach to the whole day

Its very kind to offer the photos, its very powerful marketing for me as it shows just what can be achieved.

Phil
“Just wanted to say a massive MASSIVE thank you for the photos!!! We got the link to flickr, but I haven’t had a chance to say thanks until now. We really appreciated everything you did on the day and for being so flexible about the terrible weather!! Wouldn’t be an Irish wedding without rain now, would it!!Don’t know how you managed to get those shots during the ceremony either, as I didn’t even realise you were floating around out there! You do ‘invisible’ really well!!Thanks again for everything!!”

Criona
“I didn’t get to say it on the night but thanks a million for sticking around at Mike’s wedding to take the photos – I really appreciated it on the night as I was aware how late it was when we went on! It must be fairly tiring carrying the weight of that yoke around all day…”
Eoin
“…the photos from last night are fantastic – what an amazing archive we have with all your photos over the years. And last nights’ are especially good with your new equipment – well done. I think there will be lots of pleasure taken in those photos. Thanks for doing it for us all”.

“I saw the DVD yesterday and the photos are great!! Thanks a million; you have some real gems there. I really like the ones through the crowd and the one of the two kids upstairs is brilliant”.
“I’d like to say that Jonny was a pleasure to have as a photographer. He worked without being intrusive and very easy about the place.
