Dublin Couples Photographer

Heartfelt Photos of Couples in Love!

Hi, I'm Cara, a Dublin family photographer and I LOVE to capture genuine, heartwarming couples photos - including Surprise Proposal photo shoots, engagement sessions, elopements and also, small weddings in Dublin.

I focus on classic portraits as well as natural documentary style moments. I might guide you towards pretty light but mainly it's about letting you both connect in a relaxed, authentic way. My couples sessions have a vintage-inspired feel, and often the look and feel of film photography. Perfect for a romantic and slightly nostalgic mood that feels ageless.

No two couples are ever the same, and I look forward to every unique and wonderful romantic session!

Al my romantic sessions include photo shoot and a curated gallery of images - see my FAQ page for more information, or simply reach out!

About Cara

I am married to an Irish man, have two beautiful older kids, a cat called Zara, and a Frenchie called Tony.

I spent a good few years in London and New York, before moving to Dublin - which I love.

I have been awarded in numerous international photography competitions and publications, including 1839 Photo Awards, Iconic Artist Milan, Click Pro Voice Awards and Photo Vogue.

Three Questions:

Favourite location for a proposal? Maybe the National Botanical Gardens - think rain on glass and exotic flowers...

Perfect Morning? Coffee, toast and marmalade, more coffee...

Perfect evening? If it's summer, cocktails under a beautiful tree

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me walking Tony the Frenchie, doing yoga, watching the latest period drama with people in frilly costumes...

A Storytelling Approach To Your Romantic Session

Choose a Location

Decide on a location you love for your couples session - surprise proposal, engagement or wedding. We can take a walk along the beach, through iconic city spots, Howth Cliff Tops -and historical Dublin locations - stop for a pint of Guinness or a cup of coffee. Think of it as a date.

Portrait & Documentary

A few prompts here and there to help you relax and have fun. A mix of timeless couples portraits and unposed, authentic moments. The best photos happen when you're immersed in each other and forget there is a camera!

Handcrafted Albums & Giclee Prints

All my sessions come with an edited and curated gallery - so you get a complete collection of best moments that tell your story. I love gentle vintage inspired colour and classic black & white.

Handcrafted albums, prints and print boxes are also available.

Let the Sparks Fly!

I am also a Dublin baby & family photographer - so please have a wander around my website to get to know my look and feel.

You can often find me in Blackrock, Booterstown, Stillorgan, Dundrum, Ballsbridge, Dun Laoghaire, Monskstown and Dalkey - but I travel all over Dublin - and beyond!

If it's a Surprise Proposal I can offer advice on romantic locations and give tips to prepare for the session. Whether you're sat on a bar stool in The Stag's Head with Guinness or taking a walk somewhere wild, let's have fun together!
