Planning Your Cork Wedding — Find Trusted Local Suppliers
Almost every couple who books JOD Photography asks the same question: “Do you know any good suppliers in Cork?” From wedding planners and florists to bands, makeup artists, and venues — couples want recommendations they can trust.
To make things simple, we’ve built a dedicated Cork Wedding Suppliers Directory. This page is a live and ongoing list of suppliers we’ve photographed at weddings all across County Cork. It’s not about promoting or recommending every single supplier — it’s about giving you one easy source where you can browse the people and businesses that help make weddings in Cork truly special.
Why This Helps — Especially If You’re Planning From Abroad
Many couples travel back home to Ireland, or specifically to Cork, to celebrate their wedding. Others plan their destination wedding in Cork while living overseas in the UK, USA, Europe, or further afield. Having all Cork wedding suppliers in one place makes the planning process easier and less stressful. Whether you need a Cork wedding band, Cork florist, Cork makeup artist, or a venue in West Cork, East Cork, or Cork City, you’ll find it here.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bandon Weddings
Do you photograph weddings outside Bandon?
Absolutely. I cover all of West Cork, including Clonakilty, Kinsale, Rosscarbery — anywhere couples want me to go, I’ll be there.
How do you pick venues in that area?
I aim for places that are photogenic, relaxed, and real. Whether it’s a rustic barn, country hotel, or a coastal spot near Clonakilty — I scout before so you get the best angles.

For weddings around 100–150 guests, I usually recommend the “Memories” or “Forever” package (morning to first dance or full day) — gives enough coverage without overwhelming your budget.
When should we book?
Because West Cork is in demand, it’s smart to lock in your date early. 2026 already has limited slots and 2027 is getting popular fast.

It depends on your day length and guest count, but expect between 400–700 beautifully edited high-resolution images, ready for print and sharing.
