Civil Ceremony in Cork City

Planning a civil Ceremony in Cork City?

Let's be honest - The Civil Registry wedding office in Cork isn't the nicest! Take a leaf out of Ayako & Andrzej's ceremony and book 2 hours BEFORE your ceremony to walk around Cork City! Cork City is bustling with life and has some really quirky and unique spots for wedding photos.

Epic locations all around the city*

There are so many epic locations within walking distance such as Fitzgeralds Park, UCC, the English Market or the Grand Parade, to name but a few. Make the most of the unique street art for some quirky and colourful backdrops. Cork has some really cool buildings which make a perfect vernacular backdrop - the Shandon bells, Nano Nagle Bridge and the Butter Museum*. Why not grab a pint, a coffee or a 99 at your favourite cafe or pub?

Take a spin a little further afield

Consider adding a few hours before/after your ceremony to travel a little further afield such as Cobh, Kinsale, Blarney Castle, Kilcrea Abbey, Charles Fort, Fota House for some epic couple portraits. Just remember to wear comfy shoes - walking around the city is fun but your feet will thank you later (you can always change into heels or bring them in a bag).

*Make sure your photographers insured!

And don't forget, some of these locations require pre-approval and your Cork photographer will need to provide proof of their insurance cover to shoot there. But trust me, it'll be worth it for those stunning photos! I am a fully insured and certified member of IPPVA.
