Dublin: Private Photoshoot for Couples

Getting professional photos in a new city can feel daunting—selfies and blurry snaps just don’t do Dublin justice. That’s where the private couples’ photoshoot offered by Ad Infinitum Digital Photography steps in.

Two things I really like about this photoshoot are the flexibility to choose your timing and location—you’re not stuck with a set schedule—and the high-quality images you’ll receive within just a few days. Plus, exploring Dublin with a professional photographer means you get to enjoy the sights while someone else handles the camera. One potential snag? The cost might seem a bit steep for some travelers, especially considering you only get 20 images included, but in my view, the quality and customization make it worth considering.

Exploring Dublin Through a Lens: What You Can Expect

During this one-hour private photoshoot, you’ll have a professional photographer by your side to guide you through some of Dublin’s most photogenic spots. The experience begins at the iconic Ha’penny Bridge, where you’ll meet your photographer in front of the Winding Stair Bookshop. Here, the blend of historic charm and lively city buzz makes for a perfect starting point. Expect around 15 minutes for photos here, capturing the classic Dublin scene with the River Liffey in the background.

Next, you’ll head to Temple Bar, the lively hub of Dublin’s nightlife and arts scene. A 30-minute session here allows for vibrant, candid shots amidst the colorful streets, bustling pubs, and street performers. The photographer will help you pose naturally, so you look relaxed and genuine. The lively atmosphere of Temple Bar makes for memorable images, but keep in mind it can be busy, so your photographer will need to work efficiently to get the best shots.

Your tour concludes with a quick stop at Dublin Castle, where the historic architecture provides a regal backdrop. The 15-minute segment here is perfect for capturing the elegance of Dublin’s governmental seat. If Dublin Castle is closed or inaccessible, your photographer may suggest alternative locations or a different Dublin landmark.

For those seeking more scenic or outdoor shots, options exist to add in locations like the cliffs of Howth or Wicklow Mountains—though this incurs an extra fee. This flexibility makes the experience suitable for different tastes, whether you prefer city charm or natural beauty.

The Value of Professional Photos

In just one hour, you’ll get 20 high-resolution, edited images—a significant upgrade from typical tourist snaps. These images are delivered in an online gallery within 7-10 days, making it easy to view, share, and print your favorites. Many reviews praise the professionalism and friendliness of the photographer, often citing the quality of the final images.

While the price may seem high—considering you only receive 20 images included—the value lies in the expert composition, natural posing, and the convenience of location choice. You won’t need to worry about awkward angles or unflattering lighting, common pitfalls with selfies or amateur shots.

Who Would Love This Experience?

This photoshoot is best suited for couples celebrating a special occasion, those wanting high-quality images of their Dublin trip, or anyone who prefers professional photos over self-taken ones. It’s also perfect for travelers who enjoy a relaxed, personalized experience without the stress of navigating camera settings or busy crowds.

Keep in mind, the experience isn’t suitable for children under 18 or those over 95, and it requires comfortable shoes and a change of clothes if you want different looks. The meeting point at Ha’penny Bridge is easy to find, and the activity ends back there, making logistics straightforward.

Price, Logistics, and Practical Tips

At about one hour, this photoshoot is a compact and manageable way to get quality images without taking up a whole day. The reserve-now, pay-later option offers flexibility, so you can book confidently without immediate payment. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance, adding peace of mind.

For optimal results, bring comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking and standing at various locations. An extra set of clothes allows you to vary your looks, adding a touch of variety to your photos. Remember, selfie sticks are not allowed, but with a professional, this isn’t an issue.

The photographer, hosted by Ad Infinitum Digital Photography, speaks English fluently and is experienced in wedding and lifestyle photography, which translates into relaxed, natural photos that showcase the real Dublin charm.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after stunning, professional photographs that capture your Dublin adventure, this private photoshoot offers an excellent blend of convenience, quality, and customization. It’s especially worthwhile if you want lasting mementos of your trip or to celebrate a special milestone. The location choices and ability to add scenic outdoor spots give it added appeal, especially for those who love natural landscapes.

On the other hand, if your budget is tight or you prefer a more spontaneous, informal record of your visit, DIY photos might suffice. But for couples seeking a polished, stress-free experience with professional results, this is a compelling option.
