Wedding Photography Portfolio Cork, Kerry 2025-2026 - JOD Photography

A Wedding Photography Portfolio Packed with Real, Fun, Heartfelt Moments and a Dash of Creative Magic

This is where the magic lives — real couples, real moments, and the kind of laughter you can’t fake. My wedding photography portfolio is a mix of Cork, Kerry, and Munster weddings, each one filled with its own chaos, charm, and love story.

You’ll see everything here: the quiet nerves before the ceremony, the roar of laughter when a best man goes off-script, the wind that whips through a veil on a Kerry clifftop, and the hugs that mean the world at the end of the night.

I don’t just take photos — I capture the day as it happens. No stiff poses, no awkward smiles. Just raw, emotional, beautiful images that tell the story of your wedding.

Have a scroll, lose yourself in the cemotions, and picture your own day among these moments. 

Here’s what couples say about having me as their Cork & Kerry wedding photographer. These words mean more to me than any award — because they’re proof that the craic, the calm, and the moments I captured live on long after the day itself

James was the most amazing and professional photographer we could have ever chosen for our NYE wedding last year. From our very first meeting he was a true gentleman and professional. I haven't met someone more accommodating during our wedding journey. Six months later and our family and friends are still talking about James and how fun he was and comfortable he made them feel on the day. I am usually never really happy with pictures but the shots James took blew me away. They are all fantastic. Every single one of them is worthy of a frame. His packages are super good value for for what you get. I really can't recommend James enough for your wedding or any event. We will certainly be using James' services again in the future, and look forward to doing so

Honestly what can we say? Choosing James was hands down the best decision we made.If you’re getting married or have an important occasion you want captured, do yourself a favour and book JOD Photography. This man is incredible.Neither of us are at home in front of a camera or in the limelight, but James made us feel at ease from the start. His energy was so natural and infectious that we naturally came to life in front of the lens without even knowing (or trying). The end result? The most incredible photos - we look amazing!From the minute he arrived, he had us in stiches, laughing and relaxed and in a zone that for us set the scene for the entire day. We had an absolute ball. James didn’t just ‘see’ us through his lens—he truly saw us for who we are and captured that essence perfectly. His work speaks for itself.Hiring James was the best investment we could have made. He worked with us, with our budget and on exactly what we wanted for the day. He put my mind at ease during the planning and lead up and on top of that, he had not only us but our bridal party and guests in ribbons. James is genuine and talented and made his work look effortless.We’re over the moon with the photos he captured – they aren’t just pictures of the day; they capture ‘us’, the essence of what the day was all about, and the beautiful moments both outwardly and inwardly. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit for us and our day. We’ll forever be grateful for the memories he has helped us preserve and for what he captured within those. Now we have the most beautiful set of wedding photos to last us a lifetime.James, thank you for being you, for the skill and artistry you bring to your craft, and for making our day so fabulous. We are beyond thankful we found you and that you were available for our day! Paul and Hollie

What can I say about our experience with James as our wedding photographer? He's a gent through & through with a fantastic personality. His ability to put you at ease on what was the most nerve wracking day of our lives was just magic. His fabulous sense of humour had us laughing from the minute we met him for our engagement shoot, on the cliffs overlooking the beautiful Warren Strand in Rosscarberry. After spending an hour together, I knew we had made the right decision in picking the person who would spend the most time with us on our big day. On the morning of our wedding, James blended in with us like one of the gang & managed to get the most breathtaking photos during the few hrs that it took to get ready, all without getting in the way & just working his magic in the backround. This was to set the trend for the rest of the day & night. We now have the story of our beautiful wedding day, in a series of unbelievable photos thanks to this artist!! I would highly recommend James to take care of the most important part of your big day 😁

What Sets Our Cork and Kerry Wedding Photography Apart?

Unlike generic photography services, my focus is on storytelling. Each wedding is unique, and my goal as a Cork wedding photographer is to capture the authentic emotions—the quiet glances, the joyous laughter, and the tender whispers—that define your love story. From intimate elopements at Gougane Barra to grand celebrations at venues like Springfort Hall, I’ve honed a style that balances candid shots with creative portraits. Clients often tell me their photos feel timeless, a testament to my dedication to quality and detail.

Tips for Stunning Wedding Photos in 2025-2026

Planning ahead ensures your wedding photography shines. Here are a few tips from my years behind the lens:

  • Timing is Everything: Schedule your couple’s portraits during the golden hour—those magical moments just after sunrise or before sunset—for soft, flattering light.
  • Embrace the Weather: Ireland’s unpredictable skies can add drama to your shots. A misty Kerry morning or a vibrant Cork sunset can elevate your gallery.
  • Choose Meaningful Locations: Incorporate spots like Killarney National Park or the cliffs of West Cork for a backdrop that tells your story.

These elements, paired with my expertise, guarantee a portfolio that stands out—both on your wall and in Google search results.
