Ireland Vacation Photographer | Capture Your 2025 Irish Adventure with JOD Photography
Welcome to JOD Photography, where your Irish vacation becomes a gallery of timeless memories. I’m James O’Driscoll, an Ireland vacation photographer based in Cork, serving Munster and beyond. With 58 international awards from Weddison (view my profile), I bring over a decade of storytelling expertise to every shoot. Specializing in couples, families, and elopements across Killarney National Park, Gougane Barra, and more, I’m now booking for 2025/2026—secure your spot today.
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.
