Selfies only go so far, and asking strangers to hold your phone doesn’t get much better. This 30-minute session pairs you with a hand-picked, experienced local photographer who documents your time in Dublin in a contemporary, candid style - the kind of relaxed, natural images that actually look like you were having a good time, because you were.
Before your shoot, you agree the details directly with your photographer. They’ll plan locations around what you’re after - whether that’s the bold, colourful doorways of Merrion Square, the cobbled atmosphere of Temple Bar, the sweep of Ha’penny Bridge over the Liffey, or the collegiate stonework around Trinity College. Tell them the tone you want and they’ll build the route. On the day, you just turn up and let them get to work.
Because your photographer is a Dublin local, you get genuine knowledge about the city alongside your portraits - the kind of context that makes a place stick in your memory. Within 5 working days of the shoot, you’ll receive a link to your own password-protected gallery of professionally edited images, all free to download. No watermarks, no upsells - just the photos.
Reach out to your photographer as soon as you book. They’ll message you before the day to nail down locations and style. The more specific you are - “we want something with the river” or “we have two kids under five who won’t stand still” - the better they can plan a route that works for you.
Dublin’s grey skies are an asset, not a problem. The soft, even light that comes with overcast conditions is flattering in a way harsh afternoon sun isn’t. Don’t delay hoping for blue skies - many of the best results come on cloudy mornings when shadows are minimal and the light falls evenly on faces.
Think beyond the obvious spots. The classic shots around Ha’penny Bridge and Temple Bar are classics for a reason, but your photographer may suggest less-trafficked corners - the Georgian doors along Fitzwilliam Square, a quiet lane off Grafton Street, or a riverside stretch with a clear view of the Samuel Beckett Bridge. Trust their eye.
If you’re in dublin for more than a day, pair this with a coastal excursion. Villages like Howth and Dalkey give you sea cliffs, harbour walls, and a completely different visual register from city-centre portraits - worth a separate afternoon if your schedule allows.
The password-protected gallery means you decide what gets shared. Before posting anything online or sending images to family, you can go through the full gallery privately - a practical detail that matters more than people realise, particularly when children are in the shots.
