Wedding Photos in Dingle - with a twist
Some love stories are written with an adventurous spirit, and Vivian and Randy’s journey to Ireland was nothing short of spectacular. After meeting on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City, their shared love of exploration brought them to the Dingle Peninsula for their honeymoon & some epic wedding photos in Ireland. With a passion for education, laughter, romance, and breathtaking scenery, they chose me, Sarah Kate Photography, to capture their Wild Atlantic Way wedding photos. Their session was filled with stunning views, tender moments, goofing around and a touch of adventure.
Coumeenoole Beach: A Playful Start
Our first stop was the picturesque Coumeenoole Beach, a favorite among couples looking for Slea Head couple photos. I arrived before the couple, and during a pretty epic rain shower but luckily for us it cleared pretty quickly. With the tide rolling in, the scene was a mix of fun and awe as Vivian’s striking red áo dài, a traditional Vietnamese wedding dress, contrasted beautifully against the vibrant blues of the ocean. The playful waves kept us on our toes, poor Randy may have gotten wet, but their joy and connection radiated through every shot. It was the perfect introduction to their cliff-top elopement adventure, in Ireland.
Dunquin Pier: Cliff-Top Wedding Photos in Kerry
Next, we visited Dunquin Pier, an iconic spot for cliff-top elopement photography. Its dramatic cliffs, and sweeping views over the Blasket islands and An Fear Marbh & created a breathtaking backdrop for their couple’s portraits. Vivian and Randy’s easy affection shone through as they stood hand-in-hand, dwarfed by the immense beauty of Ireland’s coastline. The rugged charm of Dunquin Pier is perfect for couples seeking Wild Atlantic Way wedding photos that blend intimacy with grandeur.
I really recommend a trip to to the Blasket centre
View Point Waymont: and then Star Wars entered the photography mix
Finally, we made our way to View Point Waymont, a location steeped in cinematic history as part of the Star Warsuniverse. The immense waves crashing below provided such a relaxing sound as we took in the stunning ocean views and chatted for ages, which I really enjoyed. Randy and Vivian really enjoyed soaking in the magic of the moment. As a couple photographer in Dingle, I couldn’t have asked for a more awe-inspiring setting to close our session.
Honeymoon Photos in Slea Head
From the playful shores of Coumeenoole to the dramatic cliffs of Dunquin and the cinematic charm of Waymont, Vivian and Randy’s photoshoot was a celebration of love, adventure, and Ireland’s unparalleled beauty. Their honeymoon session wasn’t just about capturing images; it was about creating memories that truly reflected their story & hopefully it wont be their last trip to Ireland.

FAQ: Planning Your Couple Shoot in Dingle
Why choose Dingle for a couple shoot?
Dingle offers some of Ireland’s most dramatic landscapes, from rugged cliffs like those at Dunquin Pier to serene beaches like Coumeenoole. It’s perfect for cliff-top elopements, intimate portraits, and creating stunning Wild Atlantic Way wedding photos. The area’s natural beauty and cinematic history make it a magical backdrop for your love story.
What time of year is best for a photoshoot in Dingle?
Google will tell you, Spring and summer (April–September) provide the best chance for mild weather and vibrant greenery (but I'm going to be honest, it can be very very wet), while autumn offers warm golden hues and fewer crowds and is my favourite time of year to photograph. Winter sessions can be equally magical with moody skies and wild seas but may require flexibility due to unpredictable weather & a very early sunset.
Do we need a permit for photos at locations like Dunquin Pier or Coumeenoole Beach?
No permits are typically required for small photoshoots at these public locations. However, it’s always respectful to be mindful its a public space and other people will have access, I recommend to avoid peak times to preserve the serenity of your time together.
How much time should we set aside for a shoot?
Plan for at least 3 to 4 hours to capture a variety of locations and moments. This allows time to explore, take breaks (please bring snacks), and truly enjoy the experience. I recommend eating a big meal before your shoot as we will be doing a lot of running around.
What if it rains on our Couple Shoot?
What if it rains?
Rain is part of Ireland’s charm! Some of the most dramatic and intimate photos can happen with a light drizzle. We’ll work around the weather, and I always bring umbrellas just in case. Flexible planning ensures we’ll still capture incredible shots. rain should never be a deterrent for having beautiful photos, to be honest it rains most days here, I find it really adds to the moody, romantic drama of Irish landscapes. However, that doesn’t mean you need to get drenched - I recommend a transparent umbrella which will look good in photos and have the added bonus of keeping you dry.
