Weddings at The Dean Dublin – Wedding Photographer

February 20, 2021

The Dean Hotel Dublin is one of the best spots in Ireland for cool small or intimate weddings. Located in the heart of Dublin City on Harcourt Street, it can accommodate up to 120 people and has so many options for truly bespoke weddings. I am very fortunate to be one of The Dean’s featured wedding photographers and on their recommended vendor list.

Why I love taking wedding photographs at The Dean

The Dean is just cool. There’s no two ways about it. From the iconic “we fell in love here” neon sign to the breathtaking views of Sophie’s Terrace it’s pretty much unbeatable. It also seems to attract very lovely, laidback couples! So, as a photographer, I know when I book a wedding couple who have booked The Dean, I’m in for a treat.
