Dublin City Photo Experience

About This Tour

Most people come back from Dublin with a few phone photos that don’t quite do the city justice. This is a different approach. A professional photographer meets you in the city, takes you through the most photogenic spots, and captures the day properly - candid moments, guided poses, and images you’ll actually want to look at again.

Four packages are available, so you can pick the one that fits your time and what you want to come away with.

Your guide meets you at the Molly Malone Statue holding a board with “Wandering with Rain” on it.

Full Dublin Package (2 hours) The full experience takes you through iconic landmarks and some hidden corners, with a pre-session consultation and a weather-flexible schedule. You’ll receive 60+ edited photos, a short adventure video, 5 Polaroids, a same-day sneak peek, and story-ready video clips. Full online gallery delivered within 7 days.

Best of Dublin Package (40 minutes) A focused session taking in Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, and Trinity College. Includes 35 edited photos, 3 Polaroids, a same-day sneak peek, and guided posing throughout. A good option if your time in Dublin is limited.

Best of Dublin Photo & Video Package (60 minutes) The same three locations - Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Trinity College - with 40 edited photos, a short video, 3 Polaroids, a same-day sneak peek, and guided posing.

Local Tips

The light in Dublin is genuinely beautiful, especially in the morning. The city faces east, and early in the day you get a softer, more flattering quality of light across the Georgian facades and the bridges on the Liffey. If you’re booking the full 2-hour package, ask about early morning slots - the streets are quieter and the photographs tend to be better for it.

Temple Bar looks very different depending on when you visit. Mid-afternoon it’s buzzing and colourful and full of life, which works beautifully for certain kinds of shots. Late evening it shifts into something more atmospheric and intimate. Talk to your photographer beforehand about what you’re after - they’ll know the area well enough to time the light.

The Ha’penny Bridge is one of the most-photographed spots in the city for good reason. The cast iron pedestrian bridge has been crossing the Liffey since 1816 and the curve of it, with the river below and the quays stretching off in both directions, makes for a very satisfying composition. Your photographer will know the best angles that most people miss.

St. Audoen’s Church on High Street is genuinely one of Dublin’s hidden gems. It dates to the 12th century and most visitors walk straight past it. If you’re on the full package and have time, it’s worth a proper stop - the atmosphere inside is unlike anywhere else in the city, and the churchyard has some of the oldest gravestones you’ll find in Dublin.

The Polaroids are a lovely touch to bring home. If you’re travelling as a couple or a family, asking your photographer to use a couple of them for shots that feel personal - rather than landmark-focused - makes for a much more interesting souvenir than another photo of a famous facade.
