Don’t forget to dive into some elopement photographer reviews - such as Google Reviews! These can give you a real sense of what it’s like to work with them and how they capture those magical moments.

I bet your wondering what are the best locations for an elopement in Ireland, am I right?


I love a bit of adventure and I love getting to show wonderful couples all the best off the beaten track locations in Ireland! First up, Killarney National Park is a must-visit. With its super green landscapes, mountains, and lakes, it creates the perfect backdrop for your romantic vows, elope in an ancient ruin of an Abbey like Muckross Abbey or get the boat to Inishfallen island


Next on the list is the Old Head of Kinsale. This dramatic cliffside location offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and a sense of wild romance that’s hard to beat. The rugged coastline, castle ruins and stunning sunsets create an incredibly picturesque setting for your elopement.


And we can't forget about Dingle and Slea Head! This area boasts some of Ireland's most spectacular scenery with its rolling hills, sandy beaches, and charming coastal villages. Whether you want to exchange vows on a quiet beach or atop a hill overlooking the ocean, Dingle has it all.


One thing you'll notice about me is that I don't take on a 90 million elopements each year, and there's a beautiful reason behind that. I firmly believe in prioritizing quality over quantity.


Why is that, you may wonder? Well, it's because I genuinely care about my couples. I want them to feel a deep connection with me, as if I truly understand who they are and what truly matters to them on their special day. It's about capturing those meaningful moments that hold immense significance to them.


By choosing to focus on a select number of weddings, I can devote my undivided attention to each couple, ensuring they receive a personalized experience that reflects their unique love story. It's a way for me to create authentic and heartfelt photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime.


So, if you're seeking a wedding photographer who values quality, understands the essence of who you are, and embraces the moments that truly matter, and will possibly cry throughout your vows, then I'm the gal for you!

Eloping Costs in Ireland - Elopement photography packages Ireland


When it comes to elopement photography in Ireland, the cost can vary depending on a few different factors. But generally speaking, in Cork and Killarney, you can expect to pay anywhere from €1,500 to €10,000 for an elopement photographer. Of course, this will depend on the photographer's experience and reputation, as well as the package you choose.


Now, I know you're probably thinking "whoa, that's a pretty big range!" And sure aren't you right too! But here's the thing: different photographers offer different services and products. So it's important to consider what's included in the package before you make a decision. For example, some photographers may not be from Ireland at all and include flights and accommodation (not great for your carob footprint), while others might offer an integrated elopement planning service, or others might include a certain number of hours of coverage, multi day packages, albums, videographers or a certain number of prints.


When you're looking at elopement packages, it's also a good idea to think about what you'll want to do with your photos after the elopement. Do you want to make an album? Do you want to get some prints framed for your home? Some photographers include those things in their packages, while others don't. So it's important to keep that in mind.


Let's talk about the photographer's portfolio. It's important to look at a photographer's work before you decide to book them. This will give you a sense of their style and approach. If you're into candid, relaxed, and easy going photography (aka me), then you'll want to look for a photographer whose portfolio reflects that.


And that's where I come in! As an experienced and professional elopement photographer based in West Cork, I specialise in candid and relaxed photography that captures the true feelings and emotions of your day. I know you're looking for something no fuss but a lot of craic, and that's exactly what I offer.


So if you're looking for an elopement photographer in Cork, Killarney, Dingle, who can capture your special day just the way you want it, without any fuss, then I'm your cailin. I'd love to chat more about how I can help you create beautiful and lasting memories of your special day.
