Make your holiday to Ireland last longer,

with a stunning Irish vacation photoshoot


As a natural lifestyle vacation photographer located in Cork (in the south of Ireland) my goal is to capture all the wonderful experiences and the stunning beauty of the Irish landscape. If you’re planning a vacation to Ireland, then I’m the photographer for you. Local sights such as West Cork, Kinsale, Gougane Barra, Blarney, Kenmare, Dingle, Slea Head, and Killarney National Park are all quite close to where I grew up so I have a natural affinity for taking photos of families and couples holidaying here. 


I love Irish history & storytelling and I strive to capture both through my photography, delivering a gallery which will tell a tale of who you are and your once in a lifetime (or maybe yearly!) experiences you have had.


And when you print your photographs - you’ll be able to return to Ireland whenever you want!


Our vacation photography session can take place at a location that's important to you, your holiday or maybe even your cultural heritage, such as a local beach, bog, forest or mountain. Anywhere that you will feel comfortable. It might be your first family holiday in a number or years you might be making the trip to Ireland to celebrate a big birthday or anniversary. Make your vacation extra special, by hiring a vacation photographer to capture moments which are timeless and memory evoking.


I've got you covered for engagement session, getting to know you sessions, pre-wedding sessions, family vacation sessions, couple sessions and wild Irish adventure sessions.

Sarah Kate Photography, Vacation Photographer Ireland

Sarah Kate did a fantastic job capturing some special moments at our family occasion. She made everyone feel very relaxed and produced great photos that capture people's personalities. I would ask Sarah Kate when doing something similar again.

Let's get out in nature & enjoy the Irish Landscape


I'm a history lover at heart, which means I incorporate the Irish history, landscape and nature in my all vacation stories. The best places in Ireland to get your candid vacation photography done are in the countryside. The Wild Atlantic Way such as Kerry and West Cork make for a stunning backdrop for vacation photography as do all the stunning Castles, Cliff Tops and National Parks.


You might be thinking, gosh but the Irish weather isn't that great! Don't worry, I have ways to get around this!
