What I Offer to Make Your Cork Wedding Truly Unforgettable
1. Wedding Photography Across Munster (and Beyond!)
Hi there! I’m your friendly Cork wedding photographer, traveling across Munster and beyond to capture love stories in all their beautiful chaos. Whether your day takes us to the windswept cliffs of Kerry, the serene beaches of Waterford, or even the lively streets of Cork City, I’m with you every step of the way.
From early-morning coffee-fueled preparations to your last wild dance under the fairy lights, I’m all in. Big wedding or small, glamorous venue or the family farm, I’ll make sure every laugh, tear, and questionable dance move gets its time to shine.
2. Engagement Photography
Let’s tell your love story before the big day with a relaxed, fun engagement session. Whether it’s the colorful streets of Cobh, the rolling hills of Dingle, or a windswept walk in Killarney National Park, we’ll find the perfect spot to capture your vibe.
I know being in front of the camera can feel a bit awkward—trust me, I’ve been there! That’s why my sessions are more like a fun day out, full of laughs and natural moments. You’ll walk away with gorgeous photos and maybe even a new favorite memory.
3. Elopement Photography Anywhere in Ireland
Are you thinking of ditching the crowd for a magical, intimate ceremony? I love a good elopement. From hidden forests in Kenmare to the epic Cliffs of Moher, I’ll travel anywhere in Ireland (or beyond!) to capture your love story.
Elopements are all about breaking the mold and doing things your way, and I’m here for it. Rain, wind, or unpredictable Irish sunshine—whatever the weather, I’ll make sure the photos reflect the heart of your day.
4. Destination Wedding Photography
Dreaming of saying “I do” at a breathtaking Irish landmark or even somewhere overseas? Whether it’s Adare Manor’s old-world charm, a dreamy castle in Cork, or the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, I’m ready to pack my bags.
Your wedding should feel like an adventure, and I’m here to capture every heartfelt moment along the way.
5. Family & Anniversary Photography
Your love story doesn’t stop at “I do.” Whether it’s a milestone anniversary, a family portrait session on Tramore Beach, or just a chance to celebrate the people who matter most, I’m here to help.
I’m pretty great at getting everyone—from toddlers to your grumpy uncle—to relax and have fun. The goal is to create natural, joyful photos you’ll treasure for years.
6. Proposal Photography
Planning to pop the question? Let’s make it epic! I’ve helped couples plan proposals in some of Ireland’s most stunning spots, like Inch Beach, Old Head of Kinsale, or the Shandon Bells.
I’ll sneak around like a pro (I’ve got ninja-level skills when it comes to blending in!) and capture every moment of that magical “Yes!”

Weddings are personal, and I’m here to make sure your memories are captured the way you want. Every couple is unique, and it’s a privilege to tell your story.
Travel Policy
I cover weddings all over Munster with no travel fees and just a small accommodation fee for events outside the region. No hidden charges or random extras—just cover my room, and I’ll be there, ready to make your day unforgettable.
Why Choose JOD Photography?
So, why trust me to document one of the most important days of your life? Well, let’s just say, I’ve been training for this since I was old enough to hold a camera (and yes, I mean the big, clunky film cameras—not the digital ones that practically do the work for you).
Here’s the full story: I took up photography when I was 15, and it turned out I wasn’t half bad. In fact, I became the youngest-ever winner of the All-Ireland Photography Competition, much to the surprise of my parents lol and the entire school. I was photographing events at 16, reading books about photography ( because YouTube was not invented yet ) wondering what the heck all the buttons on the camera did lol. But I was obsessed, I didn’t know it back then, my teacher did, but I did not, but I had found my calling.
But let me give you a few more reasons to say “Yes” to JOD Photography:
1. Authentic Style
I specialize in candid, documentary-style photography—think natural light, unposed moments, and timeless edits that won’t look outdated by your fifth anniversary. Whether it’s sun-drenched cliffs in Kerry or the golden glow of a West Cork sunset, I know how to capture Ireland’s natural beauty (and make you look good in the process).
2. Local Expertise
Born and raised in Munster, I’ve spent years perfecting the art of photographing this stunning corner of Ireland. I know all the best spots, from hidden beaches in Ballycotton to castle ruins in Limerick that make for jaw-dropping backdrops. And if it rains—because let’s face it, it probably will—I know how to turn moody skies into magazine-worthy photos.
3. Seamless Experience
Ever had your shoes soaked while posing in a boggy field? I have (not my finest moment). That’s why I prioritize planning, so your day runs smoothly. From our first chat to your final album delivery, I handle every detail, letting you focus on enjoying the craic. Oh, and if you’re worried about getting the family to behave for portraits, I’ve got a tried-and-true trick: bribe the groomsmen with pints after the photos are done. Works every time.
4. A Photographer Who Actually Cares
I genuinely love weddings. There’s nothing like witnessing the quiet emotions of a first look at Adare Manor or the joyous chaos of the dance floor when the band kicks into top gear. To me, this isn’t just a job; it’s an honor to be part of your story. And if you need a tissue when those vows hit hard? I’ve got you covered, well I might have used them all up myself, but I will find you some. I take on a limited amount of weddings each year so that I can give each wedding and each couple the attention they deserve.
5. A Custom Touch for Every Couple
No two weddings are the same, so your photos shouldn’t be either. I take the time to understand what makes your relationship unique and tailor my approach accordingly. Want a mix of candid laughs and sweeping landscape shots? Done. Dreaming of moody, cinematic images on the Cliffs of Moher? Let’s go. Every woman has a side, let me know your side from the get-go, and I will photograph you from that side all day long lol.
What Past Couples Say
Don’t just take my word for it! Here’s what couples across Munster have said about their experience with JOD Photography:
“We weren’t sure how anyone could capture all the madness of our wedding, but JOD managed to get every laugh, tear, and dodgy dance move. The photos are beyond stunning!”
“The pictures from our Killarney elopement are incredible. We felt so at ease, even with the wind trying to blow us off the mountain!”
Photography for the Wildly in Love
For couples who live boldly, laugh easily, and celebrate every second!
Your Story, Beautifully Told your way.
You will find me running after the kids at the wedding trying to get the perfect shot, while blending into the reception reading the conversation from across the room, waiting for your mad uncle to tell one of his stories and have everyone in stitches laughing.
