Engagement Photographer in Dublin, Ireland
Dena Shearer - Wedding Photographer Dublin
Engagement, secret proposal, couples photography and vow renewal in Ireland
Getting engagement photos in Ireland is really a fantastic way to mark the occasion plus, it gets you ready for the photography on your big day. Nearly all my couples are a bit nervous in front of the camera and have never had a professional photoshoot done. This shoot helps alleviate those nerves and you get an extra variety of beautiful photos to mark your engagement.
You can even use these photos in your wedding planning for a guest signing book or on your invitations. I work with you to choose your location for your engagement photos. In Dublin we are spoilt for choice with the city centre, parks, beaches, hilltops and forests. I also offer engagement shoots in Wicklow. This is a really magical experience.

How an engagement photo shoot works with me

If you have booked solely for your engagement shoot, there are a couple of packages and options to choose from.

We then arrange a call (or two) to go over the details of the shoot. This is particularly important if it is a secret proposal engagement shoot
What we will go over
Time of day: When possible I try to push a sunset shoot. Starting time would be around 60min before sunset for the one hour shoots or 2 hours before sunset for the longer shoots such as a Wicklow shoot.
Clothes to wear
Most couples like to keep things smart-casual. I love to see the couples personal style but guide them in terms of colour and patterns to suit. If you do want to go a little smarter I would suggest to stay wearing flats or comfortable shoes because we do a lot of walking!
How I will work with you on the day
I give you a brief outline of how I shoot and work with my couples. Super chilled and relaxed approach is what I am all about. I guide you through simple poses that will just focus on your love and togetherness.
Then we meet and shoot!

Engagement shoot at Glendalough
Glendalough in Wicklow is my absolute favourite spot to capture engagement photos. With its stunning forests, magical lake and waterfalls, this breathtakingly beautiful location truly sets the stage for a romantic photo session that will last a lifetime! Not only captivating visually, Glendalough is also extremely photogenic and offers up plenty of secluded, private spots so couples can rest assured their special moment isn’t exposed to the public eye. Plus, it allows for unobstructed natural light, making it an ideal choice for those looking to capture stunning candid shots. If you’re in search of unique engagement photos taken in Ireland, Glendalough never disappoints!
