If you’re planning your wedding in Ireland, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much does a wedding photographer cost in Ireland in 2025/2026? The truth is, prices vary — but with the right photographer, you’re investing in something that lasts forever.
I’m James O’Driscoll of JOD Photography, a Munster wedding photographer based in Cork and Kerry. I’ve photographed weddings in every county across Munster and beyond. Couples trust me because my pricing is transparent, fair, and built on experience.
This page is a full breakdown of wedding photographer prices in Ireland today. We’ll cover:
Right now, in 2025/2026, the average wedding photographer cost in Ireland is between €1,800 and €3,500. The variation comes down to experience, coverage, location, and what’s included in the package.
For Cork weddings and Kerry weddings, you can expect pricing around €2,000–€2,800. In Dublin and larger cities, rates often rise above €3,000 due to demand.
With JOD Photography, packages start with a clear, transparent base — no hidden extras, no gimmicks. Everything is written on my Wedding Packages page.
Every wedding is unique. That means costs can shift depending on the following factors:
This is why no two weddings are the same, and why I price fairly — with flexibility for small weddings and elopements as well as large 300-guest celebrations.

Not every wedding is 200 guests in a hotel. Many couples choose intimate weddings or elopements — and photography costs scale accordingly.
For elopements in Ireland, typical pricing ranges from **€800 to €1,800**, depending on coverage hours and location. For example, a Gougane Barra elopement or Dingle elopement is often just 2–4 hours of coverage, not a full-day package.
Small weddings under 50 guests (like Dungarvan small weddings) also benefit from reduced rates.
This is why I tailor packages to fit — whether you’re having a small ceremony in Tipperary or a big celebration in Cork.
When comparing wedding photographer cost in Ireland, look closely at what’s included. Many photographers add hidden extras later. With JOD Photography, everything is transparent:
Photography is one of the few investments from your wedding day that grows in value over time. Flowers fade. Food is eaten. Music stops. But photos live on.
That’s why the question isn’t just “what is the cost of a wedding photographer in Ireland?” but rather “who do I trust to capture it properly?”
