Hi, I’m James

Black and white portrait

I’m a documentary style wedding photographer based in Co. Cork, Ireland. Candid photography has been a passion of mine for close to 10 years. I photograph wedding days, capturing the beauty and emotion of one of the most meaningful days in a persons life.

My goal is to document these special moments genuinely without pulling you from pillar to post, ensuring your day is your day! But I can definitely help put some structure around the day and ensure we get some of those classic photos for the mantle piece!

Please have a flick through my site and socials and get in touch if you want me to capture you and yours having a ball !

Client Reviews

“We had the most magical wedding day last May and James captured all the incredible moments so beautifully; from getting ready at home to all the guests hitting the dancefloor, no moment was missed!

With a sprint around the reception for a photo dash with all the guests at each table to a first dance that I hoped we wouldn’t forget moves to, James’ photography style is a must have for weddings! We also recently received our gorgeous photo album; we love looking back at all the stunning memories in a physical album…although the photos online I’ve looked at weekly as I love them so much!

We couldn’t recommend James enough and if you’re looking for a photographer and come across James Lynch…book him!”

— Arthur & Laura

“James was an amazing photographer - relaxed but very professional. He didn’t interrupt our day in the slightest, mostly in the background taking beautiful photos without us noticing. We couldn’t be happier with our photos!

— Ciara and Daniel

“We first approached James about doing our wedding knowing he has been really perfecting his craft over the last few years. James put in serious work sounding out areas to take our wedding day photos, as we were not too familiar with the area, which both of us really appreciated.

Throughout the day James blended in with everyone in attendance snapping some great photos which we will always cherish. The photos were back to us in great time too in fairness which is always a plus and we had a great time flicking through them, including some antics we didn’t even see ourselves!

In summary we would really recommend James if you are considering him to be part of your big day, he’s mighty craic too!”
