About Photographer

Mark Coombes Photography o?ers authentic and artistic wedding photography for couples who want their day captured in a natural, relaxed and storytelling style. Born and raised in West Cork, Mark brings over a decade of professional experience and a deep connection to the Irish landscape, people and light that shape his work. At the heart of Mark’s work is a genuine love for people and their stories. Each wedding is approached as a unique narrative, revealed through pre-wedding meetings, personal connections, and the way couples interact with their families and friends on the day. He works in an unobtrusive and relaxed manner, allowing real moments to unfold naturally, capturing true smiles, laughter and emotion as they happen.

the couple chose to make a dramatic entrance at their wedding reception, we arrived at hotel after church ceremony and there were a couple of complimentary bikes outside the door, so the couple grabbed the bikes and rode around the hotel to sun terrace where all the guests were waiting and cheering.
