Wedding Photographers Cork
We are wedding photographers Cork based in Cobh on the south coast of Ireland. Nicely positioned to cover Cork’s wedding photography both in East Cork and West Cork. A 40 minute drive to Youghal, Fermoy, Kinsale or Macroom. We are ideally located to travel to and from your wedding locations throughout Cork. Fit and ready for 10+ hours of photographing your wedding day in Cork. Additionally, a brief 20 minute spin to Cork City allows us to photograph weddings at a cluster of the top city hotels and wedding ceremony venues at ease.
As the legendary Wedding year that was 2022 comes to a close. It is great to look at what is coming in 2023. Laura and Benny will photograph at 45 different Wedding Venues throughout Ireland in 2023. Of which 38 wedding venues will be in Munster, with 23 different Cork locations being visited.
The most frequently visited venues located in Cork for 2023 will be the likes of: Maryborough Hotel (Douglas), Cork’s Vienna Woods (Glanmire), Garryvoe Hotel (Ballycotton), Kinsale Hotel (Kinsale), Dunmore House Hotel (Inchydoney) & Radisson Blu (Little Island).

As per our packages we visit all wedding locations prior to your wedding day. This not only allows us to begin the creative process of photographing your wedding day but this reduces unforeseen issues that get thrown our way. Being Wedding Photographers Cork, man made obstacles change as regularly as the Irish weather (4 season a day like!). Dealing with those challenges are all part and parcel of being a professional photographer. We do everything possible to make your day run as smooth as possible.
Wedding Photographers Munster
While we tend to photograph weddings primarily in Cork (Laura’s city of birth), travelling further abreast in Kerry and Waterford is quite common. Limerick and Tipperary in the north of Munster offer great venues. The long drive to Clare tucked in a corner of the mid west of Ireland, likewise offers spectacular wedding photography. Check out the array of Wedding Photography from Munster.
Of the Munster Wedding venues, Laura and Benny as Wedding Photographers Kerry will be photographing at 10 Kerry Wedding venues in 2023, including: Great Southern Killarney, Muckross Park Hotel, Ballygarry House, The Dunloe Hotel, Brehon Hotel, Killarney Oaks Hotel and many more.
Wedding Photographers Kerry are spoiled for choice. In Killarney alone with a small radius you have Ross Castle, Muckross House, the Abbey, Torc Waterfall, the many scenic lake openings on the Ring of Kerry and not to forget Killarney’s streets and traditional pubs. Kerry is vast and wide, Kenmare to Sneem to Dingle to Tralee it is genuinely the Kingdom of Ireland’s beautiful landscape. Ideal for wedding celebrations and Wedding Photography.
Cork and Kerry are dominant in Munster for venue choices but Laura and Benny do photograph weddings throughout Munster. Here is a taste of the some other venues in Munster: Waterford Castle (Waterford), Kilshane House (Tipperary), Cashel Palace (Tipperary), Fitzgeralds Woodlands House Hotel (Limerick), Castletroy Hotel (Limerick), Dunraven Arms (Limerick), and Castle Oaks House (Limerick).

Most of the Weddings Shows are back in 2023 with some Shows returning in 2024.
Wedding Shows are one of the best ways to immerse yourselves in the world of Wedding planning. You could literally organise an entire Wedding at a large showcase. The fairs have exhibitors from officiants to bands to cake and of course photographers. Whether you want to book the lot or just get some ideas it is recommend attending.
Ireland has great wedding shows and Laura and Benny Photography have stands at 3 of the best shows, when possible. The great thing about shows are that you get to meet your wedding suppliers in person. Vendors matching in many aspects of the products and services provided is down to personality matching. Wedding Photographers will spend the entire day with you at your wedding. As well as finding a photographer who’s style you like, who produces excellent quality photos and much more. It is so important that you like your photographers approach and personality. Your Wedding Photographer will be in your presence a lot.
