Wedding Photography Collections
Choose the coverage that feels right for your day.
Weddings don’t all run to the same timetable, and I don’t think photography should feel like it does either. These collections simply give you a starting point, from a smaller celebration to the full story of the day. Whichever you choose, I’ll photograph it in the same relaxed, natural way.

The album I keep coming back to
A wedding album should feel as good as the photographs inside it.
Forever and Eternity include a handcrafted 30 × 30cm / 12 × 12" wedding album, designed around up to 80 photographs from your day. You’ll have a choice of finishes, but if you ask me which one I’d choose, I’ll nearly always point you towards the Acrylic Prestige.
The crystal-clear acrylic cover gives the photograph real depth and the lay-flat design lets the story flow beautifully across the page. It feels substantial without being fussy, and it’s exactly the kind of album I want my couples to still be taking down from the shelf years from now.
No long wait afterwards
See a little of it while it still feels fresh.
I aim to share a small selection of sneak peeks as soon as I can after your wedding. If I’m not photographing another wedding the following day, that can often mean the very next day. Your complete gallery is delivered within 4–6 weeks, although, as many of my reviews mention, it’s often considerably sooner.
Your photographs are yours to keep
Download them. Back them up. Keep them safe.
Your private online gallery makes it easy to view, share and download your photographs in high resolution. Intimate and Moments galleries remain online for 3 months, while Memories, Forever and Eternity galleries remain online for 6 months. You can download as often as you like while your gallery is live. Once it arrives, I always recommend downloading the complete collection and keeping at least one extra backup somewhere safe, as the online gallery isn’t intended as permanent cloud storage.
Make it yours
Enhance Your Collection
Start with the collection that suits your day, then add only the things that genuinely matter to you. There’s no need to squeeze your wedding into a package just because that’s how the price list was written.
Talk to Me About Your PlansKerry Wedding Photographer – Natural Photos, Real Craic
Killarney, Dingle, Kenmare & Tralee. Real moments, zero faff, calm timelines and wet-weather pivots.
You want the day lived, not staged. I’m James — a wedding photographer covering Kerry: Killarney, Dingle, Kenmare, Tralee, Sneem and all the wild bits between. I keep things easy. Short cues. Real laughs. Your crowd forgets the camera — that’s when the good stuff happens.
What you get (in plain English)
- Real moments over stiff poses — we’ll do the family must-haves fast, then let you enjoy the day.
- A calm plan with a wet-weather pivot — Kerry skies change; we roll with it.
- Local know-how — the right light, the right spots, the right time.
- Zero awkwardness — light direction, no cheese; a bit of banter, lots of truth.
Where I work most (and why it works)
Killarney — Ross Castle, Muckross Abbey cloisters, Torc, Ladies View, Gap of Dunloe.
Dingle Peninsula — Slea Head, Coumeenoole, Eask Tower (wind-dependent), piers.
Kenmare — Sheen Falls, Reenagross Woodland, quiet waterside lanes.
Tralee & North Kerry — Ballyseede Castle, Ballygarry Estate, Blennerville.
Tip: Aghadoe for sunset, Muckross Abbey for a quiet morning, Gap mid-week/off-peak.
Venues I’m often in
- Great Southern Killarney • Muckross Park • The Brehon/Gleneagle area
- The Dunloe • Dromquinna Manor • Sheen Falls
- Ballyseede Castle • Ballygarry Estate • Aghadoe Heights • Park Hotel Kenmare
Elopements & small weddings
Less fuss, more heart. I help with simple permissions/timing and map a route with a built-in rain option. One bag, quick stops, big feelings.
How the day flows (sample)
- Prep: 60–90 mins — details and family bits, no rushing.
- Ceremony: I’m quiet; I get the looks, not the backs of heads.
- Confetti & hugs: let it breathe; fast & natural.
- Family photos: 15–25 mins with a tidy list.
- Couple portraits: 20–30 mins nearby; if it rains, we pivot under cover and still get magic.
- Reception: speeches with clean audio; dancefloor where the truth lives.

FAQ
How long do photos take after the ceremony?
Family set in ~20 minutes if everyone’s nearby. Couple portraits 20–30 minutes. You’ll still have time to breathe and grab a pint.
What if it rains?
We pivot to covered/sheltered locations with good light. I plan alternatives in Killarney, Dingle and Kenmare so you still get great photos.
Do you cover elopements and mid-week weddings?
Yes — often the nicest light and quietest spots.
Can we take photos in Killarney National Park?
If it suits your schedule, yes. I’ll advise the best times/locations and handle simple permissions if needed.
How many photos do we receive?
Hundreds from a full day, fully edited, delivered in a clean online gallery for full-res download.
Real Reviews From Real Couples
The best way to understand what it's like having me photograph your wedding is to hear it from the couples themselves. These are genuine Google reviews from weddings across Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare and beyond.
Timmy O'Brien
James made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Everyone from the wedding was talking about him afterwards. Professional, relaxed and brilliant to have around all day. He is exactly the photographer you want beside you on your wedding day.
Bríd & Ger Counihan
James blended in effortlessly, brought the craic and made everyone feel relaxed. Every laugh, embrace and tear was captured naturally. The sneak peeks arrived the next morning and our gallery was delivered incredibly quickly. We'd recommend James in a heartbeat.

We are normally nervous in front of cameras but James made us feel so relaxed that we forgot the camera was even there. The photographs are incredible and we couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Anne Marie & Stuart
James captured every emotion of our wedding day with honesty and heart. The album is stunning and the photographs tell our story beautifully. His work is real, natural and unforgettable.

Planning a Wedding in County Kerry
Most couples choose their wedding venue before booking a photographer. Exploring venue options first helps shape timings, guest numbers, and the overall flow of the day.

A Note from Your Photographer — Killarney & The Kingdom
Listen, you don’t plan a Kerry wedding and skip the Killarney National Park. It’s the heart of the Kingdom. The lakes, the mountains, the winding lanes — they’re as much a part of your story as the vows themselves.
But here’s the thing most couples don’t realise: you can’t just rock up with a wedding dress and a camera. You need permits to shoot inside the park, and you need a photographer with the right insurance to secure those permits. Don’t stress — I handle that side so you don’t have to.
And let’s be real — this is Ireland. Out of every 10 Kerry weddings I shoot, at least 8 have a touch of rain or wind. And you know what? That’s where the magic happens. Lean into it. Laugh, smile, hold each other tight, and let the Irish weather do its wild thing. Some of the best wedding photos I’ve ever taken came with wind in the veil or rain on the stone steps.
That’s why they call it the Kingdom of Kerry. Big skies, dramatic light, raw and real emotions. If you’re up for it, Kerry will reward you with wedding photos you’ll treasure forever.
