If that sentence terrifies you, you’re probably not ready for JOD Photography’s take on wedding portraits. But if you’re up for something a little offbeat, dramatic, and wildly creative, then buckle up—this is not your average stand-and-smile wedding photography
“Okay, now spin around like you’re in a dramatic perfume ad. No, seriously—it’ll look epic.”
If you’ve ever felt awkward in front of a camera, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But let me tell you a secret: Creative portraits aren’t about posing perfectly. They’re about having fun, feeling like a rockstar, and capturing moments that look straight out of a movie.
Whether you’re a couple planning your wedding, already married, or just looking for an excuse to dress up and get some next-level portraits, I’ve got you covered. And no, this isn’t about standing stiffly in front of a castle like you’re posing for a medieval oil painting. This is wedding-inspired, creative photography with a punch.
Let’s be real. Wedding days are hectic. You’ve got timelines, guests to greet, and a best man who’s already lost the rings twice. As much as I love capturing raw, in-the-moment wedding photos, sometimes you just don’t get the chance to take those jaw-dropping, artistic portraits.
That’s where creative couple portrait sessions come in.
✅ No stress. No rush. Just pure, creative magic.
✅ We shoot at golden hour, city streets, or wild cliffs—wherever the vibe takes us.
✅ Dramatic lighting, cinematic compositions, and unique ideas that make you go “WOW.”
Think of it as the wedding portraits you WISH you had on the big day.
Picking the right spot is key. Luckily, Ireland is basically one big, scenic masterpiece.
✨ Top Spot: Dunquin Pier & The Cliffs of Kerry
Wind-swept cliffs, rolling hills, and ocean views that belong on a postcard. Perfect for cinematic, moody, and downright epic portraits.
📸 Vibe: Like you’re starring in a dramatic Netflix romance.
✨ Top Spot: Cork City at Night / Shandon Bells & City Lights
Neon lights, old alleyways, and that perfect balance of modern and historic. Want something edgy? We’ll light you up with off-camera flash and make you look like an indie album cover.
📸 Vibe: Moody, modern, and effortlessly cool.
✨ Top Spot: King John’s Castle & The River Shannon
Grand, dramatic, and full of rich textures. Perfect for timeless portraits with an artistic edge.
📸 Vibe: Regal meets contemporary fashion editorial.
I get it. Not everyone feels natural in front of a camera. But trust me—you don’t have to! My job is to make you forget the camera is even there.
Here’s how we do it:
🔹 Keep it moving: We don’t do stiff poses. We dance, run, jump, spin—whatever makes you feel alive.
🔹 Storytelling shots: Instead of just “smiling at the camera,” we capture emotions—real laughter, cheeky glances, and that look you give each other when no one’s watching.
🔹 Lighting wizardry: Whether it’s moody cinematic lighting or golden-hour glow, we create magic with light.
Wondering if this is for you? If you’re:
✅ A couple who wants unique, artistic portraits that stand out
✅ Engaged and want creative engagement photos
✅ Married but wish you had more time for epic wedding-style shots
✅ Just love dramatic, magazine-style photography (no wedding necessary!)
Then this is 100% for you.
