Waterford Wedding Photographer – Venues, Elopements & Packages
Waterford is one of Ireland’s hidden gems for weddings. From seaside towns like Dungarvan to iconic venues such as Faithlegg House and Waterford Castle, the county gives couples every kind of backdrop – coastal, countryside, and city. If you’re searching for a Waterford wedding photographer, this guide brings everything together: venues, small wedding ideas, trusted suppliers, and photography packages that keep things fair and simple.
This hub also connects you to smaller guides like Dungarvan weddings and small venues in Waterford. Think of this as your complete starting point.
Why Choose Waterford for Your Wedding
Waterford combines history and scenery. Couples drawn here often want something different from the typical “big hotel” wedding. From castle settings to seaside inns, there’s a balance between elegance and intimacy. And because the county isn’t oversaturated with weddings, your day feels more unique.
The Waterford wedding photographer in me sees opportunity everywhere: sunsets over the Copper Coast, heritage streets in Dungarvan, gardens at Mount Congreve, or luxury backdrops inside Waterford Castle. Few counties give so many different canvases to tell your story.

Weddings in Dungarvan
Dungarvan deserves its own spotlight. This coastal town mixes seaside backdrops with welcoming venues. Couples often choose Dungarvan for more relaxed, smaller weddings – the kind where everyone feels part of the day. As a Dungarvan wedding photographer, I’ve found the harbour and surrounding coastline perfect for portraits, while boutique hotels handle intimate receptions beautifully.

About JOD Photography
I’m James, the photographer behind JOD Photography. I work across Munster and beyond, capturing weddings in a natural, relaxed style. My goal is simple – to tell the story of your day without staging or stress, so you get photos that feel like you.
Fair Pricing
All of my prices are clear and visible from the start — what you see is what it costs. There are no hidden fees, no surprises, and no sudden extras when you book. If your wedding is anywhere in Munster, travel is always included.
For weddings outside Munster, a small additional fee may apply to cover accommodation where needed. That way I can be rested, present, and focused entirely on capturing your day.

Waterford Wedding Suppliers
Venues are only part of the story. The right suppliers shape the experience too. Here are some trusted categories in Waterford:
- Bands & DJs who know how to keep an intimate floor full.
- Florists specialising in natural and seasonal arrangements.
- Celebrants who bring warmth and meaning to civil ceremonies.
- Make-up artists and hairstylists who travel directly to venues like Faithlegg or Dunmore East.
I’ll be expanding this section over time with supplier profiles. For now, consider this a guide to the kind of people who can help bring your Waterford wedding together.
