Wedding photography
Natural, emotional and beautifully lit wedding photography for couples in Cork, across Ireland and beyond. At Elmaya Reels we capture your day the way it actually felt: the nervous laughter before the ceremony, the look on your parents’ faces, the friends who take over the dance floor. Then we give it all back to you as a gallery you’ll keep coming back to for the rest of your lives.
We don’t spend your day lining people up in stiff poses. Most of your wedding photographs happen quietly in the background: real moments, unscripted, as they unfold. When we do step in for portraits and family groups, we keep it quick, easy and fun, so you can get back to your guests and your celebration.
Every wedding in Cork is different. It might be a church ceremony and a country house reception, a small civil ceremony with a handful of loved ones, or a big multicultural celebration over several days. We plan around your timeline, your venue and your people, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
What's included
Before the day we go through your timeline, locations, family group list and any must-have shots.
From preparations to the first dance, or the parts of the day that matter most to you.
At your venue or a nearby location, with light-touch direction so you look and feel like yourselves.
Family and group photographs, organised quickly and calmly so nobody misses the party.
Professionally edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery that’s easy to share.
A first look at your photos shortly after the wedding, while the excitement is still fresh.
Photo + film
Elmaya Reels is a photography and videography business, so you can book both from one team that already works together seamlessly. Add a cinematic wedding film, a highlights video or same-week Instagram reels to your package.
One point of contact, one consistent style, and no clashing between your photographer and videographer on the day.

We photograph weddings throughout Cork city and county, from Kinsale, Cobh and Youghal to West Cork, and anywhere else in Ireland.
