Documentary Wedding Photography

Welcome to the Cork wedding photography website of Advocate Photography. I am a documentary photographer that specialises in wedding and portrait photography. 

Michael O Farrell is my name and I am based in Mallow in Co Cork. That does not mean I only do Cork weddings. Travel is part of the job and I travel throughout Ireland to cover weddings.

You can check here for availability.

How does a documentary wedding photographer approach your wedding day?

As the day unfolds I will capture all the unique moments as they happen. During the day, I will try to be as unobtrusive as I can and still get close enough to capture the all the important bride and groom shots while also capturing the emotions of the day.  

Each wedding is different and I try to capture all the energy and flow of the day as it unfolds rather than rely heavily on set up shots.

My style will suit a bride and groom that are not big into posing for photographs. Above all, I am not a pushy wedding photographer that will be ordering you about on the day.

Your wedding day is a very special day in your life and you will want to spend as mush time as you can with your friends and family. 

Hiring a documentary photographer will give you this time to spend with your family and friends. You put a lot of time and effort into planning your day, why not just enjoy it and leave the wedding photography up to me.

This means you will get natural and great wedding photographs that you can cherish forever. Don’t forget I will also do the important family formals on the day as well. 

If you are planning a vintage retro wedding, a smaller civil ceremony, a church wedding, an Irish castle wedding or an alternative wedding, my style of wedding photography will suit them all.

For bookings please contact meI am also available for destination weddings.

Kind Words

Michael was extremely professional throughout the day and understood the stress of the situation. He kept us calm and did not let the wedding photography become an issue at any stage. We could not recommend Advocate Photography any higher and were very impressed with the service before, during and after the day
