COuple's photography dublin & ireland
For couples who hate posing, feel awkward as shite in front of a camera, but still want unreal photos that feel like YOU!
If the two of you turn into absolute potatoes the minute a camera appears, brilliant. You're exactly who I love working with!
There's no stiff posing, no awkward directions, no pretending you're someone you're not. Just the two of you, being completely yourselves, while we hang out and I catch all the good stuff. The inside jokes, the laughing at nothing, the way you look at each other when you think nobody's watching. That's the stuff worth photographing.
Think of it less like a photoshoot and more like a wander around with a friend who happens to have a camera and might suggest stopping for a pint along the way. Because honestly, that's exactly what it is!!
My Approach
Your relationship is not a Hallmark card , thank God. It’s a mix of laughs, comfort, weird pet names, long hugs, and knowing exactly how the other person likes their tea.
That’s the stuff I want to capture.
I’m not here to perfect every hair or fix your clothes.
I’m here for:
The belly laughs
The forehead touches
The wandering hands
The soft safe moments
The absolute notions moments
The “Jaysus you’re gorgeous” moments
No pressure. No acting. Just you being yourselves.
About me
I’m Deirdre, a photography fanatic, lover of emotional chaos, and fully qualified with a BA in Photography.
Awards? Yep. Published? Yep. Do I still love photographing muck, mayhem, and pure joy? Absolutely.
Available throughout Dublin, Meath and Ireland

Process
Step 01
You'll get my couple's questionnaire and you can tell me all about you and your love! Sooner to the session date we’ll hop on a call or chat over emails/watsapp - (promise it’ll be painless) and you can tell me:
How you are
What you love doing together
What kind of session feels right — romantic? chaotic? adventurous?
Locations that mean something to you both
Any worries or ideas
I’ll guide you from there so the whole thing feels like a date with great lighting.
Step 02
Here’s what will not happen:
You won’t be posed like mannequins.
You won’t be told to “smile naturally” (what does that even mean?).
You won’t feel awkward after the first 2 minutes — promise.
Here’s what will happen:
✔ We walk.
✔ We laugh.
✔ You hold each other.
✔ You forget the camera exists.
✔ I quietly catch the absolute magic between you both.
It’ll feel more like a date than a photoshoot.
Step 03
Two weeks later: BOOM, your gallery arrives.
You get:

A slideshow that absolutely wallops the heart

At home sessions
These are pure magic, soft, intimate, cosy, and honest.
Think:
Drinking tea in your kitchen
Snuggling on the sofa
Dancing badly
Cooking together
Being wrapped up in each other
The kind of photos nobody else gets to see
You don’t need to clean. This is love, not Home of the Year.
WHAT TO WEAR (ZERO PRESSURE EDITION)
Right, here’s the deal:
Wear whatever makes you both feel like yourselves.
But if you want tips:
Don’t match, coordinate like a stylish pair who didn’t try too hard.
Earthy tones look unreal in Irish light.
Avoid massive logos.
Clothes that flow or move are deadly in the wind.
Comfort always wins. No torture shoes.
Most important: wear something you can cuddle, walk and run in.
What to bring
Just bring the basics: comfy shoes, a warm layer (because Ireland), a bit of water or a sneaky snack, and maybe a blanket if we’re sitting anywhere. Lip balm or a quick hair tidy is grand if you want, but honestly messy hair looks class. If you’ve something that feels very you — a coffee, a book, your dog — lash it in. Mostly, just bring yourselves, your humour, and zero expectations. That’s where the magic is.
Weather guide
THE WEATHER GUIDE — AKA IRISH CHAOS
Light rain? Stunning. Soft. Romantic. Like The Notebook, but Irish.
Wind? Movement, hair flying, drama — yes please.
Clouds? Chef’s kiss.
Storms? Wild craic… but we’ll probably reschedule.
I’ll keep an eye on the skies the way Irish mammies keep an eye on the neighbours.
TIMING
Outdoor sessions = golden hour. Trust me, it’s magic.
At-home sessions = late morning when the light hits right.
We’ll schedule around nap chaos, snack chaos, and general life chaos.
