Thinking of getting couple photos while on vacation in Kerry?
Kerry is a county in the southwest of Ireland that is truly breathtaking. With its rugged landscapes, picturesque lakes, and towering mountains, it's no wonder that so many couples choose to have their romantic vacation photos taken here. Whether you're newlyweds, celebrating an anniversary, or just looking to capture some special memories together, Kerry has something to offer everyone.
One of the most popular locations for romantic couple photos in Kerry is Killarney National Park. This beautiful park is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, and it offers couples the opportunity to capture their love story amidst the stunning natural beauty of Ireland. The park is also home to Muckross House, a 19th-century mansion that is open to visitors, and the beautiful Torc Waterfall, both of which are perfect backdrops for romantic photos.
Another popular location for romantic couple photos in Kerry is The Gap of Dunloe. This beautiful valley is located just outside of Killarney, and it's known for its rugged landscapes and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The Gap of Dunloe is perfect for couples looking to capture the essence of Ireland in their photos, and it offers a variety of different backdrops for different types of shots.
Ladies View is another must-see location in Kerry for romantic couple photos. This viewpoint is located on the Ring of Kerry and offers some of the most breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. From Ladies View, couples can capture photos of themselves with the beautiful Killarney Lakes and the rugged Macgillycuddy's Reeks mountain range in the background.
Dingle and Slea Head are also great places to get romantic couple photos in Kerry. Dingle is a charming coastal town that is known for its colorful houses, traditional pubs, and friendly locals. Slea Head, located nearby, is a dramatic coastal drive that offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Blasket Islands and the stunning cliffs. Couples can capture some truly epic love stories here.
I'm totally biased in saying this but Kerry is a brilliant place to get romantic couple photos when you're on vacation in Ireland. With its natural beauty, picturesque landscapes, and charming towns, it offers couples the perfect setting to capture their love story in a truly authentic way. So if you're planning a romantic getaway to Ireland, be sure to add Kerry to your itinerary and don't forget to book a couple photoshoot with me.

FAQ
How do we book?
I book up 3-4 months in advance. Once I have confirmed your date is available, I will send you a contract and then your date is fully secure with two things in place: a retainer and signed agreement.
Do you edit the photos? Do you photoshop the photos?
Yes I edit all your gallery, image by image. I love reliving your day again and it's a lot of fun, to see all those moments again!
And before you ask, no I will not photoshop you, I love to celebrate natural beauty. If you wish to have your images photoshopped or further post editing additional charges will be applied per image.
What should we expect from our session?
For elopement couples, planning to elope to Ireland, I will send you a vendor guide (a complete list of hairdressers, celebrants, mua's etc) and a what to expect guide which gives you tips and tricks on how to prepare for your elopement.
I will also go through a timeline and shoot list with you ahead of your elopement so we can make the best plan to celebrate your day.
For couples, we will get off the beaten track and toast your love story, so prepare for an adventure.
How many photos will we get?
Depending on the duration of coverage, for full day I usually deliver around a 100 final images and depending on your package you can download directly from your gallery. All photographs come in website and high resolution, and can be downloaded without watermarks.
How long before we get our gallery?
I will send you a sneak peek within a week of the wedding. Depending on the time of year it can vary between 6 weeks to 12-16 weeks during peek season.
We are nervous in front of the camera
Dude I get it, so am I! But I promise I make it so much fun you will 100% forget im there with my camera by the end of it! And I'd be very surprised I didn't know your life story by the end of your session too, because I talk ALOT.
Where do you shoot?
I live close to the Cork/Kerry Border so West Cork locations such as Bantry, Glengarrif, Inchydoney, Gougane Barra are close by not only that I am near by to Killarney, Kenmare, Dingle, and the Ring of Kerry
