Say I Do:
Cara, Dublin Small Wedding Photographer
From wedding cake cutting to dancing into the small hours in trainers, I know that no two weddings are the same!
Hi, I'm Cara— I'm a Dublin family and couples photographer - capturing surprise proposals, engagements and, recently, fun filled small weddings and micro weddings.
I love to capture timeless wedding portraits alongside completely natural, effortless documentary style moments,
I am definitely open to unusual requests and adventures - so if you want to do a pub crawl in your wedding dress around Temple Bar or get married on a sheep farm, I'll be there!

Wedding Photos That Look and Feel Like A Favourite Film
Inspired by the timeless look and feel of film, my Dublin small wedding photography pairs cinematic black-and-white with gentle, vintage inspired colour tones to capture the timeless beauty and romance of your wedding. Take a look around the other pages of my website to see the look and feel of my photos.
My wedding sessions come with a curated, edited gallery of photos that tell your wedding story. I am 1839 People Portraits award winner in 2024 and 2025.
I also love to photograph families and children, so I'm drawn to people, families, children, babies interacting naturally with each other - and spreading the love.

Let's plan your special day together!
Wedding At The National Gallery Of Ireland.
Setting off from the Merrion Hotel, with a ceremony at No. 5 South Leinster Street, followed by a tour of the National Gallery of Ireland for bride and groom portraits, and then off to the Gingerman Pub for a pint of Guinness.
This Dublin small wedding day was intimate, relaxed and joyful!
You can often find me on family and couples sessions in Booterstown, Blackrock, Stillorgan, Dundrum, Ballsbridge, Monkstown, Dunlaoghaire and Dalkey Village - but I travel all over Dublin, and beyond, weddings are no different!
Three Questions:
Favourite watch? Gladiator, Silver Linings Playbook, The Queen's Gambit, Vikings
Holiday? Anywhere in nature, a bit of wilderness and great food!
Hobby? Karate, yoga, astrology, reading - and dancing whenever I can!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me walking my Frenchie Tony, editing photos in coffee shops and trying on shoes...

Q & A
How long do you shoot for?
My wedding photography packages typically start from 2.5 hours for the mini session, delivering a fully edited gallery of approximately 140 photos. For an 8-hour package, you’ll receive up to 400 images. I prioritize quality over quantity, but if a photo adds to the story, I will add it into the gallery!
What parts of the wedding do you photograph?
I capture all the key moments of your day, from the scene-setting little details and preparations - to the ceremony along with all the emotions! I'll document intimate portraits of the bride and groom, as well as the reception and evening celebrations.
What is your wedding photography style?
My style is a blend of documentary storytelling and fine art wedding portraits of bride and groom, and of course, family and friends. As a family and baby photographer, I love to make sure guests of all ages are captured as honestly as possible. I focus on capturing the natural flow of your day, with authentic moments that reflect its spirit. While I don’t specialize in formal group shots with very large lineups, I love to create traditional group portraits.
I love seeking out beautiful light and gorgeous backdrops to create timeless, romantic couple portraits during your wedding day.
