Your love story deserves to be told your way!
We’ve all got a tale worth sharing, with laughter, tears, and the moments you’ll treasure forever.
Let me capture your story, exactly as it is, with all the magic and joy it deserves.
I take candid wedding & elopement photos for couples who want to kick back and enjoy the party.
I like to build relationships with my clients before their wedding.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year, which allows more time for you and for building friendships! By the time your wedding arrives, it feels like I'm photographing my besties! Why do I do this?
Shelburne lodge Wedding, Kenmare
A laid-back luxury wedding and elopement photographer based in Cork, Ireland, creating true-to-life, timeless imagery with a heartfelt approach for couples who care deeply about the people they love.
I photograph weddings across Munster, such as Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford and Limerick, creating story-driven images that feel natural, elegant, and deeply personal, never forced.
I'll document your day, as is!
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Sarah Kate Murphy.
I'm a history and wildlife lover, happiest near untamed seas and heather-covered mountains.
I adore the smell of warm summer rain or the feeling of salty wind on my face.
And I love, love stories.
Especially those unbridled by tradition or societal constraints.
But what I really, really, love is capturing big feelings and real emotions on your wedding day.
(And yes I'll probably cry too).

That aren't corny or embarrassing?
As a natural, documentary wedding photographer who specialises in weddings, elopements, engagements and couple photography
I'm dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience that ensures every couple I work with receives a one-of-a-kind photography journey filled with laughter, joy, & timeless photographs that truly reflect the real you.
Let's be honest, you've probably looked at a million different wedding photographers, and we all say the same shite on our websites about 'freezing memories in time,' yada yada, yada.
If you're the sort of couple who want laid-back Luxury Wedding Coverage, maybe you're having a small, intimate wedding party or a Civil Ceremony and want to throw one hell of a party and dance the night away with all your loved ones, then I'm your cailín.
Sit for a minute & let's have a chat
I know taken can feel like the most awkward, obtrusive thing in the world! I know because I feel that way too.
But trust me and trust the process when I say, I make it a fun and relaxed experience.
I get all the family formals done quickly, so more time for mingling & enjoying time with your guests.
On your wedding day, I bring all of that and more.
I want you guys to kick back and savour the party & not be stressed about photos!
Wedding Photography in Wild Places
We all have our ideas about what we want from our wedding photos. Some of us are super comfortable in front of the camera, while others feel like they might die every time someone points one at us! My double chin and I are in the latter category.
Whatever your preconceived ideas about wedding photography are, leave them at the front door, because this, girlies, is all about your feelings on the day and less about everything being perfect.
I'm located close to some of Ireland’s top wedding and elopement destinations, including West Cork and Kerry. Stunning towns and the best wedding venues near Bantry, Glengarriff, Kenmare, Kinsale, Gougane Barra, Killarney National Park, Dingle, Tralee, Adare, Tipperary, and Limerick, I’ve got it all on my doorstep!
Let's keep her lit, lads!
Well, someone had to ask, with my incredible humour, kindness that's off the charts, and a pinch of unique quirkiness, who could even compete? I'm practically a one-of-a-kind photo ninja capturing all those magical moments! But don't worry, I won't let all this fame go to my head... much. (Can you tell I got Chat GPT to write this hahah I'm legit not this vain in real life)

Our wedding photos are beyond magical. Every tearful, hilarious, intimate, and joyous moment was captured. From getting ready in the morning, to the tiny details of the preparations, our first look & ceremony, and the speeches & mingling at the drinks reception. It's like having a re-run of the day laid out in front of you in the most gorgeously presented way. These photos are out of this world stunning, and keep sakes that we are beyond grateful to have. Thank you for everything Sarah, you are truly talent

Testimonials
We recently had the immense pleasure of working with Sarah for our wedding. A number of people in the bridal party are a bit nervous in front of the camera but Sarah’s enormous talent, professionalism and good sense of humour put everyone at ease. From our sneak peek we can tell that we will have photos that we will cherish for a lifetime and for that we are forever grateful. If you are not thinking about booking Sarah for your upcoming event then you are making a mistake
Testimonials
Sarah Kate is an absolutely fabulous photographer. She was our photographer for our recent wedding in Kenmare at the beginning of October 2023. I didn't realise how much time we would spend with our photographer on our wedding day, from the start with wedding prep, all the way throughout our wedding day - Sarah Kate was ideal. She was fun, always great for a good laugh, friendly, supportive, super professional and just good to be around.
