Cara, Dublin Engagement Photographer

Naturally, The Sparks Will Fly: Couples, Engagement, Surprise Proposal, Elopement and Small Weddings, Dublin

Have your surprise proposal against a backdrop of big, cloudy skies, or open water, or the city with all its energy and life. In Dublin, there are many beautiful and unique locations for romantic couples and engagement sessions.

 

I focus on timeless portraits as well as spontaneous documentary style moments that unfold naturally. I might guide you towards a particularly scenic backdrop or some pretty light, and add playful prompts here and there to capture authentic moments of love and connection.

Delighted to now also be doing small Dublin Weddings!
