My Journey as Ireland’s Premier Vacation Photographer

My photography began at 15 with a teacher’s Minolta, sparking a national award-winning shot that set my path. Years spent photographing Ireland’s landscapes—West Cork’s cliffs, Kerry’s mountains—honed my craft. A mentor, one of Ireland’s best wedding photographers, saw my talent and guided me into capturing human stories. Today, as an Ireland vacation photographer, I blend that landscape expertise with a knack for candid, emotional moments. Based in Macroom, I’ve shot across Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Galway, earning over 50 awards and a reputation for excellence.

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.
