Dublin Couples Photographer

Capture The Moment You Say Yes!

And all those precious moments after you say Yes.

Hi, I'm Cara, a Dublin lifestyle and family photographer - and I also capture heartfelt photos of couples in love including Surprise Proposal photo shoots, engagement sessions, elopements and small weddings.

If it's a Surprise Proposal I can offer advice on atmospheric Dublin locations, and give tips to subtly prepare for the session. Once the proposal is captured spontaneously, we can focus on beautiful interactions of you as a couple. Whether you're sat on a bar stool in The Stag's Head with Guinness or taking a walk along the beach, let's have fun together!

I focus on timeless portraits as well as documentary style moments. I might guide you towards pretty light or a scenic backdrop, with a few prompts here and there, but mainly it's about letting you engage with each other naturally.

You can often find me photographing couples around Ballsbridge, Booterstown, Blackrock, Dundrum, Dunloaghaire, Monkstown and Dalkey - and locations all over Dublin. Visit my FAQ for session info.

Delighted to now also be doing small Dublin Weddings!

A Storytelling Approach To Your Romantic Session

Choose a Location

Decide on a location you love for your couples session - surprise proposal, engagement or small wedding. We can take a walk along the beach or through iconic city spots and historical Dublin locations - stop for a pint of Guiness, a glass of wine or a cup of tea. 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 gallery 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.

it's about who you are at heart
