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.

Why Choose JOD Photography?

Your wedding photos aren’t just pictures — they’re your family history in the making. At JOD Photography, I combine local knowledge, creative storytelling, and a no-nonsense approach that couples in Cork and Kerry rave about. From the quiet in-between moments to the big joyful celebrations, I capture it all naturally, without staging or fake smiles.

I know Cork inside out: the light at Castlemartyr, the salty breeze at Inchydoney, the moody skies over Fota, and the quiet charm of city gems like Hayfield Manor. That means I don’t just photograph your day — I anticipate it, so you can relax and soak it all in while I take care of preserving your story.

But Don’t Just Take My Word For It

Here’s what real couples had to say after trusting me with their day:

“James blended in with us like one of the gang & captured breathtaking photos throughout the day without ever getting in the way. I highly recommend him.”
— Pamela Milner
“From our first meeting James was a true professional and gentleman. His photos blew us away — every single one is frame-worthy.”
— Allison Gordon
“Hiring James was the best decision we made. His natural energy put us at ease, and the end result was the most incredible photos that truly captured us.”
— Hollie Inger
“James arrived full of energy and instantly changed the mood... he kept everyone calm, laughing and smiling.”
— Aisling & Shane
“We couldn’t have asked for better. The photos captured every emotion and every detail, but the best part was how relaxed James made everyone feel.”
