Kinsale Hotel & Spa

As a Wedding Photographer in Cork, I love photographing weddings in Kinsale.

It is one of my favourite spots as a Wedding Photographer in Cork full stop! I even had my Stag in Kinsale, so I have very fond memories.

When Jean & Tomas asked me to Photograph their Wedding in Kinsale I was delighted. I am always excited to photograph Weddings in Kinsale

There are so many places to take great iconic photographs, and all can be done in a timely fashion leaving you plenty of time with your Wedding guests.

When they told me the wedding venue in Cork was Kinsale Hotel & Spa I knew we were in for a special day.

One of the perks of being a Wedding Photographer in Cork staying late to capture the speeches and first dance is that I get to enjoy the delicious food as well! You know what they say, “Happy Wedding Photographer – Amazing Wedding Photos”. Kinsale Hotel and Spa provide a beautiful dining experience.

Kinsale Harbour


Kinsale is such a lovely township I usually try and get a few photos around on the day as it is jam packed with colourful walls, doorways and streets that are begging for a bride and groom to be photographed. It is also fun to walk around the town and get a breath of fresh after your Ceremony and get some fun shots.

There are some great bars in Kinsale also so if you fancy a quick pint photo op that can also be arranged. It is a great excuse to relax with your new Bride or Groom and enjoy a drink and think back about the Wedding Ceremony and get five minutes alone. While this happens, I will capture a few quiet moments with my camera.

The sea views are stunning, and the Harbour is so picturesque it is no hassle to mix in some lovely seaside photos into your wedding photo collection.

One of the Best Wedding Venues in Cork


We were so lucky on this day with Jean and Tomas as the sun was shining and the house was buzzing with family and kids in the morning so there was plenty going on. This gives me great opportunities for some amazing documentary style photographs. Jean the Bride and her family could carry on getting ready while I worked away in the background discreetly photographing what was going on around me. It is a relaxed part of the day for Wedding Photography.

This is always one of my favourite times of the Wedding Day as everybody Is excited, nervous, and happy for the day ahead.
