I'm Michael O'Farrell, the photographer behind Advocate Photography. I capture relaxed, authentic wedding stories throughout Cork, Munster, and across Ireland.

My approach is relaxed, natural, and unobtrusive, allowing you to enjoy every moment while I document your day as it unfolds. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the laughter, happy tears, and celebrations that follow, I'll capture the genuine moments that tell the story of your wedding.

Whether you're planning a grand castle celebration, a traditional church ceremony, an intimate elopement, or a unique venue that's completely your own, my goal is always the same—to create timeless, authentic photographs you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Photographer

Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot—it's a celebration. My role is to blend into the background, allowing moments to happen naturally while I quietly document the laughter, happy tears, and everything in between. The result is a collection of honest photographs that reflect your day exactly as you remember it.

Kind Words

So happy with the service provided. Michael was amazing getting such great shots of our day. He was so professional on the day even before it, helping us in many different ways. We are so happy with the photos will definitely recommend him

Michelle & Alan

Michael was brilliant, fun and friendly and his work was first class. He knew what would work, and the photos of the day really came to life. He directed our large wedding party with good humour and grace (and patience!) The service was personalised, professional and enthusiastic throughout. We couldn't be happier with the end product - photographs we will cherish forever. Thank you Michael!

We got married earlier this year. Our original photographer let us down by cancelling just a couple of weeks before the wedding. Michael was extremely professional throughout the day and understood the stress of the situation. We could not recommend Advocate Photography any higher and were very impressed with the service before, during and after the day itself. Thank you Michael.

We had such a good day. Michael worked so hard and we barely knew he was there. Loved the results xxx

Behind the Lens

I'm Michael O'Farrell, the photographer behind Advocate Photography.

Photography has always been about people for me. I love meeting couples from all walks of life, hearing how they met, and quietly capturing the special moments that make their wedding day uniquely theirs.

Being entrusted with capturing a couple's wedding day is a responsibility I never take for granted. It's a real privilege and something I still genuinely love doing. Every wedding brings new faces, new stories and new memories to capture, which is what makes this job so exciting and rewarding.
