Flash, Fun, and a Dash of Madness: Creative Wedding Portraits Like No Other!
“Stand over there. No, not there—yes, under that dodgy-looking streetlamp. Trust me, it’ll look cool.”
If that sentence terrifies you, you’re probably not ready for JOD Photography’s take on wedding portraits. But if you’re up for something a little offbeat, dramatic, and wildly creative, then buckle up—this is not your average stand-and-smile wedding photography


Not Your Average Wedding Portraits: Creative Couple Shoots in Cork, Kerry & Limerick
“Okay, now spin around like you’re in a dramatic perfume ad. No, seriously—it’ll look epic.”
If you’ve ever felt awkward in front of a camera, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But let me tell you a secret: Creative portraits aren’t about posing perfectly. They’re about having fun, feeling like a rockstar, and capturing moments that look straight out of a movie.
Whether you’re a couple planning your wedding, already married, or just looking for an excuse to dress up and get some next-level portraits, I’ve got you covered. And no, this isn’t about standing stiffly in front of a castle like you’re posing for a medieval oil painting. This is wedding-inspired, creative photography with a punch.


What Are Creative Couple Portraits? (And Why Are They Cooler Than Wedding Day Photos?)
Let’s be real. Wedding days are hectic. You’ve got timelines, guests to greet, and a best man who’s already lost the rings twice. As much as I love capturing raw, in-the-moment wedding photos, sometimes you just don’t get the chance to take those jaw-dropping, artistic portraits.
That’s where creative couple portrait sessions come in.
✅ No stress. No rush. Just pure, creative magic.
✅ We shoot at golden hour, city streets, or wild cliffs—wherever the vibe takes us.
✅ Dramatic lighting, cinematic compositions, and unique ideas that make you go “WOW.”
Think of it as the wedding portraits you WISH you had on the big day.

🚀 How We Make Your Portraits Pop (Without Making You Feel Awkward)
I get it. Not everyone feels natural in front of a camera. But trust me—you don’t have to! My job is to make you forget the camera is even there.
Here’s how we do it:
🔹 Keep it moving: We don’t do stiff poses. We dance, run, jump, spin—whatever makes you feel alive.
🔹 Storytelling shots: Instead of just “smiling at the camera,” we capture emotions—real laughter, cheeky glances, and that look you give each other when no one’s watching.
🔹 Lighting wizardry: Whether it’s moody cinematic lighting or golden-hour glow, we create magic with light.
🎯 Who Are These Portrait Sessions For?
Wondering if this is for you? If you’re:
