A romantic Engagement photoshoot on the Wild Atlantic Way


Recently engaged and planning your dream wedding? Capturing this exciting chapter is just as important as the big day itself!


Tricia and Gearoid, currently living in Perth, Australia, know exactly how special these moments are. They've booked me for their 2025 wedding, which includes a personalised engagement photography session in a location that means a lot.


While home on holidays, Tricia reached out to schedule their session at Barley Cove, near Mizen Head, a place close to their hearts—it’s where they had their first date! Both locals, having grown up near Schull, they were initially a little nervous about being in front of the camera and in case anyone say them running about on the beach. But once we hit the beach, the nerves melted away, and we had an absolute blast. Between the golden sands, stunning scenery, and their undeniable chemistry, we created engagement photos full of laughter, love, and meaning.


If you’re recently engaged and searching for an engagement photographer to help tell your story, let’s create something magical engagement photos together, too!

Hey we just got the photos and OMG they are absolutely unreal ☺️we absolutely love them they are exactly what we wanted 🥰 thank you so much you are brilliant at what you do x

Why Get Engagement Photos While You’re in Ireland?


Ireland isn’t just a dream destination for weddings—it’s the perfect backdrop for capturing your engagement story. Here’s why you should take the opportunity to schedule engagement photos while you’re in Ireland:


Picture Perfect Landscapes - Rolling green hills and epic cliff tips


From windswept cliffs and rolling green hills to charming villages and golden beaches, Ireland offers breathtaking backdrops you can’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, or hidden gems like Barleycove, your engagement photos will radiate natural beauty.


Add Meaning to Your Journey


If Ireland holds personal significance—like being your home, your ancestral roots, or a favorite holiday destination—having engagement photos taken here makes them even more meaningful. Couples like Tricia and Gearoid, who returned to Barleycove where they had their first date, cherish the deeper connection the location brings to their photos.


Capture the Romance of Being in the Moment

Ireland’s timeless charm and moody skies create a naturally romantic vibe. Whether you’re exploring a historic castle or strolling along a deserted beach, the scenery enhances the emotion of your engagement shoot, resulting in photos that feel straight out of a fairy tale.


Work with a Local Photographer


Ireland is home to talented photographers who know the best locations and how to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. They’ll guide you through the session, turning nervous energy into laughter and candid moments that reflect your love.


A Fun, Low-Key Memory


Engagement sessions are a chance to slow down amidst wedding planning chaos. It’s just you, your partner, and a gorgeous Irish backdrop, having fun and celebrating your connection.


Practice being a natural in front of the camera for Your Wedding Day


For camera-shy couples, engagement photos are a great way to get comfortable being photographed. When your wedding arrives, you’ll feel like professional poser, and the photos will feel effortless. It's something I really recommend for us Irish people as we were bred to hate having out photo taken.


Cherish Your Travel Experience Forever


If you’re visiting Ireland from abroad such as America or Canada, engagement photos give you a tangible way to remember your trip. They’re not just pictures; they’re a piece of your Irish adventure captured forever.


Custom Artwork for Your Wedding


Use your Irish engagement photos for save-the-dates, wedding invites, or reception decor. The unique landscapes will make your wedding stationery truly stand out. A lot of my clients purchase prints for their home, and I ship artwork to America.


Whether you’re recently engaged, planning a destination wedding, or want to celebrate your love story, Ireland offers the ultimate backdrop for creating engagement photos you’ll treasure forever.
