About Me

Dena Shearer - Wedding Photographer Dublin

Hi there! I’m Dena. A wedding photographer based in Dublin who loves to capture weddings of real people just having fun!

Dena Shearer

This is me!!

I’m Dena. I’m a South African who has lived in Ireland for 18 years and just loves it! Ok, the weather took a bit of getting used to but I’m there now ;-)

I’m married to an Irish man, John, and we have two beautiful little children, Elliot and baby Olivia. It’s a madhouse at the moment ;-)

  • I’m a South African who grew up in Botswana, studied at Rhodes University in South Africa and moved to Ireland when I was 22 years old.
  • I love to travel, specifically to hot countries!
  • Delicious food and wine is an essential part of my happiness routine.
  • Festivals, gigs and DJ sets are food for the soul (all this has slowed down since the kiddos came along but the dancing at home hasn’t!)
  • John and I are quite the muso’s but I’m a sucker for 80’s pop!
  • I love dogs, we don’t have one but I’m working on it ;-)
  • A great coffee shop is my dream place.
  • A good walk is spiritual to me.
  • I like my own space but couldn’t live without the buzz of people too.

When John and I tied the knot, we prioritised love, laughter, music, and the company of those dear to us. This philosophy reflects in the weddings I photograph. It’s about cherishing genuine moments, celebrating love, and creating memories with the ones who mean the world to you.

Who do I love to work with??

*My couples are lovers of travel, food, wine*

*My couples want to have fun with their guests *

*My couples want ‘some’ creative portraits but nothing too posey and kept to a minimum time frame *

*My couples want to cherish all the special candid moments captured in their wedding album *
