Don’t take my word for it — my couples say it best:

• “James was brilliant on our wedding day — witty, relaxed, and able to put everyone at ease straight away.” — Aidan Connolly

• “His humour and fun added to our day from morning to the very end… memories to last a lifetime, captured by a talented professional.” — Sheila & Paul

• “Neither of us are at home in front of a camera, but James made us feel at ease from the start… hiring James was the best investment we could have made.” — Hollie & Paul

• “The craic was 90 and everyone raved about how funny and amazing he was.” — Sarah Foley

And that’s the bit I love most — not just taking photos, but earning the kind of trust that lets people be themselves. Because when you’re relaxed, when you’re laughing, when you forget the camera is even there — that’s when the magic happens.

I’ve shot weddings in castles, barns, hotels, and muddy fields, and I can promise you this: it’s never about the setting, it’s always about the story. Your story. And my job is to tell it beautifully — so when you look back in ten, twenty, fifty years, you’ll feel it all over again.

Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a wild, 200-guest party, if you want a photographer who’s in your corner — calm when you need calm, full of banter when you need a laugh, and completely focused on making your memories last — then we’ll be a great fit.

Why my couples say yes

• Fast sneak peeks (sometimes within hours) so you can relive the magic straight away.

• Candid, storytelling photos that show the real moments, not just the posed ones.

• A natural, relaxed experience that feels more like hanging out with a mate than a photoshoot.

• Ten years of experience and a portfolio full of weddings across Cork, Munster, and beyond.

If you’re looking for someone who can tell your story honestly, beautifully, and with a bit of craic along the way — let’s chat. I’d love to hear about your day.

💍 What I Do Best

Weddings, to me, aren’t Pinterest boards or pose-perfect fairy tales.
They’re the real stuff.

• Your mam handing you tea and pretending not to cry.

• Your mates fixing your tie with hands that have held pints together for years.

• Your granny, laughing like she’s 30 again.

That’s the story I tell — the honest one. The one that will still make you smile in 20 years.

🏡 From Macroom to Munster

I’m based in Macroom, Co. Cork, which puts me in the middle of some of the most stunning wedding spots in the country — Gougane Barra, Kinsale, Kenmare, Bantry, Adare, and more.

Whether it’s a big day with 200 guests or a quiet elopement in a windy valley, I’m all in.

🛠 My Approach

It’s simple:

• Be sound

• Stay out of your way

• Know exactly when to step in

• Get the photo that says everything

I don’t direct the day. I read it. I capture the stuff you didn’t even notice happening — the kind of photos you’ll actually feel.
