My Award Winning Cork Wedding Photograph…
I was delighted to receive the Wedding Photograph Of The Month award from photographers.ie for this photograph which was taken at Rosemarie and Raymond’s wedding at Fernhill House Hotel last month.
I was delighted when Zainab and Mahfar asked me to photograph their wedding at the Castlemartyr Resort, not only are they a fantastic couple to work with, but Castlemartyr is one of the best wedding venues in Ireland.
Here is what Zainab posted on my Facebook page the day after their wedding…
Myself, my husband and Castlemartyr resort’s staff thought you are one of the best photographer we have ever seen ! You were a wedding planner and a photographer. You are very creative and you put so much time and energy into your work ! You made us feel we were a special bride and groom. Thank you so so much.
We started off the photography in the presidential suite and worked our way through the hotel and grounds before the guests arrived for the drinks reception at 4pm.
Omg !!!
Those pics are unreal ! I’m so so happy with them.
Thank you so much for all the hard work.
I am absolutely delighted that I had u in my wedding. We felt very comfortable with you. You were our photographer, wedding planner and someone who kept us going with his encouragement.
Thank you so much again for all the hard work
Zainab.
Zainab and Mahfar made a grand entrance down the main staircase and we took the family portraits and a group shot in the formal gardens behind the hotel.
At 6pm the guests gathered in the dining room for the traditional Persian Wedding Ceremony, which included the exchange of gifts and food as well as rings.
When the ceremony was completed we had dinner, which was followed by one of the many highlights of the day, a traditional Persian Wedding Knife Dance. The Irish guests danced just as enthusiastically as Zainab and Mahfar’s relatives and much hilarity ensued.
Finally, Zainab changed into a beautiful Indian wedding dress for the cutting of the cake.
Hi Dermot,
We are delighted that we had you as our photographer yesterday, you were absolutely brilliant. These pics are amazing and we are really looking forward to seeing the rest. Our friends and family were also amazed at how you handled everything. Will talk to you again soon! Take care!

Dearbháile and Evandro came all the way from Faro in Portugal to get married at St. Finbarr’s Oratory at Gougane Barra in Cork, and typically, the heavens opened and it rained all day!
Despite this weather related setback, their wedding day went beautifully and we managed to create some great photographs in the Castle Hotel in Macroom and around grounds of Gougane Barra, with a couple of handy umbrellas.
Here is what Dearbháile wrote to me when she saw her wedding slideshow…
“Oh my God, what to say!! We were in tears. We just keep watching the clip over and over again! Thank you SO SO SO much! You did an amazing job! Cant wait to see all of them!! 🙂
We still cant stop looking at the clip and the photos. I never thought you would have captured so many moments and expressions. You really are so talented!”

Wedding Photography By Dermot Sullivan
Jennifer and Traolach were married in The Honan Chapel in the grounds of UCC in Cork. We used to beautiful grounds and buildings on the campus as a backdrop for our photographs and then went on to the wonderful Fernhill House Hotel for the reception.
Michelle and Colm were married in Barryroe Church in beautiful West Cork and following their ceremony, we went to Dunworley beach for photographs. Their reception was held in Fernhill House Hotel, and we stopped off in Clonakilty to take advantage of the fantastic photo opportunities available in the town.

Wedding photography review for Dermot Sullivan
My fiance and I weren’t local to the Cork/Clonakilty area and initially found Dermot through online research and our choice was soon validated through a few other local suppliers we were working with to organise our wedding.
Dermot made us feel very at home and comfortable from the moment we met him in Clonakilty to talk through our big day and helped us shape what we wanted from our wedding photography.
On the wedding day, Dermot’s local knowledge of Clonakilty was invaluable and he moved between the groom and brides houses before the wedding, the church and evening reception to capture some great and the all important shots!
We are both very pleased with the final photos and album Dermot produced for us.
