Wedding Photographers in Dublin.

As wedding photographers in Dublin we love working close to home, not just because it means we can be home relatively early but because there are so many very cool wedding venues in Dublin. Whether you’re city lovers who enjoy the hustle and bustle of a wedding venue in the heart of town, or something a bit more sedate and exclusive the a wedding in Dublin can provide you with five star alternatives whatever you have in mind.

With its abundance of parks, beautifully cared for by the Office of Public Works, it doesn’t mean that Dublin city weddings all have to be about the streets and architecture. Being a wedding photographer in Dublin means having the opportunity to utilise some of the best city parks and gardens in Europe, from the Phoenix Park to the Iveagh Gardens, Merrion Square to Malahide Castle, Ardgillan to Killiney Hill. Just because your city venue doesn’t have it’s own green space it doesn’t mean you can’t be surround by trees, especially in the Autumn when the rich colours can be spectacular.

Of course, not every couple who wants a Dublin city wedding is looking to be surrounded by greenery. There’s no shortage of iconic streets and backdrops that simple shout Dublin from every red brick and wrought iron decoraction, with its mix of Georgian heritage and glittering modern hustle there’s something for any couple. Whether it’s high season summer garden parties or the bright lights and sparkle of a Winter wedding in Dublin at Christmas, we’re sure you’ll find something that will fit the bill.

We’ve listed below the Dublin Wedding Venues we’ve enjoyed working at over the last 5 years, and we’ll add to it when we shoot somewhere new.
