Hidden Gems: Off the Beaten Path in Ireland

August 26, 2026

Ireland’s famous landmarks are famous for a reason — but some of my favourite sessions have happened in places most visitors never see.

Why choose a hidden location?

  • Fewer people means more relaxed, natural photos.
  • Unique backdrops that feel personal to you.
  • More freedom to explore and move around.

A few favourites

Quiet castle ruins in the midlands, secluded beaches on the Beara Peninsula, forest trails in Wicklow and lakeside spots in Connemara all make wonderful, intimate settings.

I keep a private list of special places — get in touch and we’ll find the right one for you.
