1. JOD Photography – Wedding Photographer Cork & Kerry

I’m James O’Driscoll, the man behind JOD Photography, based in Macroom, County Cork. For over a decade, I’ve photographed weddings across Ireland: tiny elopements at Gougane Barra, Springfort Hall weddings, coastal celebrations in Kinsale, and epic Kerry hotel weddings. My style is simple: natural, honest storytelling with a bit of creative spark. No stiff posing. No cheesy smiles. Just photographs that feel alive.

FAQs: Choosing a Wedding Photographer in Ireland

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Ireland (2025)?

On average, full-day coverage by an experienced Irish wedding photographer ranges from €1,800–€3,500. Premium destination coverage or album packages may go higher. See my fair pricing here.

How far in advance should we book?

For peak summer weekends, book 12–18 months in advance. Off-season or weekday weddings may have more flexibility, but earlier is always better.
