About Me

Hi, I'm Michael, the photographer behind Advocate Photography.

Based in Cork, I specialise in documentary wedding photography, capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, authentic and unobtrusive.

Photography has always been about storytelling for me. Weddings are some of the most meaningful stories I have the privilege to witness—bringing together the people who matter most to celebrate a moment that will never happen in quite the same way again.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me at home with a coffee in hand, editing photographs with my cat curled up nearby.

My Approach

I believe the best wedding photographs happen when people are free to enjoy themselves.

Rather than spending hours posing, I want you to be present with your family and friends while I quietly document the moments as they unfold.

The result is a collection of photographs that reflects not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Why Wedding Photography?

No two weddings are ever the same, and that's what I love about them.

Every day brings different people, different stories and countless unscripted moments. My job is to observe, adapt and capture those moments with honesty and care.

There's nothing more rewarding than earning a couple's trust and creating photographs that help them relive their day for years to come.
