This is a family photoshoot that’s designed to feel nothing like a photoshoot. Over 90 minutes, your photographer guides you through Dublin’s most photogenic streets - the cobblestones of Temple Bar, the riverside walk at Ha’penny Bridge, the open space around Dublin Castle - and captures what’s actually happening: the laughter, the kids being kids, the moments you’d genuinely want to frame.
There’s no stiff posing. The approach is relaxed and easy, which means you come away with images that look like your actual family rather than a stock photo. Within three to four days, a private gallery link lands with you - minimum 30 professionally edited images, all at 3000x3000 HD, behind a password-protected download. The good ones all come through; there’s no arbitrary cap on delivery.
Your photographer knows these streets well. Temple Bar takes its name from a 17th-century development by Sir John Temple on reclaimed land along the Liffey, and the lanes have barely straightened since. City Hall nearby was built between 1769 and 1779 and has one of the finer rotundas in the city. You won’t get a history lecture - but your photographer will find the right light and the right moments wherever you happen to be.
This is a private tour, available in English and French, fully accessible by wheelchair and pram.
Dress in layers, especially between October and April. Dublin light is genuinely beautiful on overcast days - the diffused grey sky works in your favour for portraits - but the temperature along the Liffey drops quickly when there’s a breeze. Your photographer will make the most of whatever the weather gives you, but comfortable kids make for better photos.
The Ha’penny Bridge is busiest between about 11am and 2pm on weekends. If you have any flexibility on timing, an earlier start in the morning catches softer light along the river and fewer people in the background of your shots. Your photographer will know how to navigate it regardless.
Temple Bar is worth the cobblestones. The area gets a bad reputation from stag parties, but on a weekday morning or early afternoon the lanes are genuinely atmospheric - painted doors, iron lanterns, and buildings that haven’t changed much since the 18th century. It photographs well at any time of year.
The private gallery link is yours to keep. You’re not restricted to a download window - the password-protected gallery stays accessible so you can share it with family or download prints at your own pace. The images are sized for both screen use and large-format printing.
