Wedding Photographer Kerry Ireland
Kerry is called “the Kingdom” for a reason. From the lakes of Killarney to the rugged cliffs of Dingle, it’s a county built for love stories. As a Kerry wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing couples in some of the most breathtaking spots in Ireland — and the photos always tell their own story.
Why Kerry is a Dream Wedding Location
Kerry is wild, romantic, and unforgettable. Couples come from all over Ireland (and the world) to marry here. When you work with a local Kerry photographer, you’re getting someone who:
Knows the best ceremony spots with epic backdrops.
Can sneak you away from the bus tours for quiet moments.
Works fast when the Irish weather changes in seconds.
Iconic Kerry Wedding Venues & Locations
Killarney National Park
The lakes, the mountains, the old abbey ruins — you could spend an entire wedding day here and never run out of photo spots.
The Gap of Dunloe
Wild, unpredictable, and unforgettable. I’ve shot weddings here in sunshine and in sideways rain, and both were brilliant.
Dingle Peninsula
The fishing town, the cliffs, and the winding roads give couples that authentic Irish feel.
The Brehon Hotel
For couples who want the beauty of Killarney with all the comforts of a luxury hotel.
Real Weddings I’ve Photographed in Kerry
Kevin & Chloe – Killarney & The Brehon
Their day started with a ceremony at Gougane Barra and finished with a party at The Brehon in Killarney. From lake views to dance floor madness, their gallery is still one of my favourites.
Matt & Heather – Rain-Soaked Gap of Dunloe
It poured rain all day, but instead of hiding from it, we embraced it. Umbrellas, mist, and muddy shoes became part of their story.
Eimear & Philip – Gougane Barra to Killarney Heights
A small intimate wedding at Gougane, then a Kerry reception with their closest family and friends. The drive itself gave us stunning photo stops.
My Style – Storytelling with an Irish Twist
I’m not about stiff poses or fake smiles. My style is candid, documentary, and full of humour. If your veil blows inside-out in the wind, I’ll catch it. If your dad cries during the speeches, I’ll catch it. That’s what Kerry weddings deserve — photos that feel as alive as the day itself.

Why Couples Love Booking JOD Photography for Kerry Weddings
Kerry is wild. Kerry is beautiful. Kerry gives you mountains, coastline, lakes, castles—more variety in light, scenery and texture than many places in Ireland. When couples choose a Kerry wedding, they’re choosing drama and beauty in equal measure.
With years photographing weddings across Kerry—Gougane Barra, Killarney, the Ring, Kenmare, Dingle—I’ve learned how to work with whatever the sky gives, when to chase light, when to use shade, how to make the coastal winds just part of your story. Couples often tell me they chose me because of that local experience, not because I try to force every wedding into a cookie-cutter pose.
My wedding packages are built to handle everything ‒ whether your wedding is hidden in the hills, on a cliff’s edge, in a luxury hotel or an intimate elopement. No surprise fees, no “you didn’t tell me” extras. Clear, honest, fair.
What Real Couples Say (No Hype, Just Feedback)
“We had our wedding near Cahersiveen. James captured light, laughter, tears, all with ease. He fitted right into our day.”
“Stormy sky, wind, rain – typical Kerry. But somehow the photos are magical. Packages were clear, and we knew what we were getting.”
“Our portraits at lake at Gougane were spontaneous walks, not staged. I forgot the camera was there — yet the photos are so present.”
These are the kinds of stories I hear. They matter more than big claims because they show you what your wedding could feel like.
Fair & Transparent Pricing
Kerry weddings vary a lot — venues in remote places cost more to get to, weather means time may shift, etc. That’s why my pricing structure is always upfront and modular:
Packages for full wedding days (prep → portraits → evening)
Smaller packages or elopement/portrait-focused ones if you want less coverage
High-res final photos, private online gallery, sneak peeks in days
Travel within Kerry included in many packages (for many main areas; exceptional remote travel is discussed in advance)
Optional extras like albums or follow-up shoots are available and always clearly priced. No hidden surprises.
