Capturing moments, one click a time.

MEET LAURA !

HELLO MY NAME IS LAURA MCCARTHY. I AM A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER FROM DUBLIN. I HAVE A GENUINE PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

I am currently using a Canon 5d m4 and Canon 6D and a variety of different lenses to cover all areas. I also have a Instax SQ6 polaroid camera, which can be used to create instantaneous polaroid snaps which can add fun to any event.

I am fully equipped with all my own studio equipment from backdrops to strobe lights.

I feel at great ease when my camera is in my hand and I understand how important it is to capture those special moments, or to make a memory.

I cover many different styles of photography from weddings to fashion to fitness or to live photography and am always willing to try new things.

I am currently the in-house photographer for Cheap Heat Productions. I have also offered my services to Pieta House on numerous occasions and look forward to doing so for the foreseeable future.



At Laura Mc Photography we aim to provide for all occasions, whether that be a fitness shoot, welcoming a new arrival or that special day. With a focus on people, we provide packages for families, pregnancy, engagements or simply for a special occasion. With all of our own equipment, we can provide scenic photos at a location of your choosing, or capture the warmth and comfort of your own home.

With our specialized wedding packages, we aim to provide a discreet service, capturing all the most important moments, from the bridal parties preparations to the newlywed’s first dance, without disturbing the celebrations.

We also provide a specialized baby package to cater for new arrivals. We aim to capture the joy which the newest addition has brought to your family, in a comfortable, baby friendly environment.

In our live photography packages, we aim to capture the moments that make it an event from the opening number, to the encore. We also provide promotional packages which will have fans, and future employers calling for more.

While our package rates are set, we at Laura Mc Photography, realize that every situation is unique, and will work with our clients to make sure we capture the moment that makes it.


Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. You will want to pick the right photographer for this. Someone who will suit your style and take your wishes into account. I am very creative when it comes to weddings, for instance I have used a smoke machine to creates beautiful photos. I enjoy taking varied shots rather than posing couples in unnatural positions. The more natural the photo the better. 

From the engagement to the last dance, we’ll be there to capture every moment.


Wedding Gallery









Family is the heart of the home.

I have worked with many families over the years for birthday parties, christenings, communions, confirmations, graduation so on and so forth. I love to capture what that family represents and their personalities. I do many different types of shoots but one of my favourites is a child friendly shoot involving balloons, fun, freedom and sometimes a cake smash. Of course, pets are always welcome and encouraged. I love animals and understand your fur baby is just as an important member of the family as anyone else.

Capture the essence of fashion

I have covered fashion shows, fashion events and created photo shoots to show off the fashion designer’s work. I have plenty of experience working with models, MUA’s and hair stylists. The quirkier the better. I have many props and a pop-up tent for models to change on other door locations. 

I have great experience in the fitness world as I am a powerlifter myself. I spend my fair share of time in the gym. I understand the hours of hard work in the gym it takes to get the body you want.

But also, the even harder work in the kitchen and eating right to get that body you desire. I know how to show off that hard work in a photo and the poses to get you looking your best.

Bringing the magic of entertainment to life through the lens.

I am currently the in-house photographer for Candlelight Cabaret Show. I was the house photographer for Sabotage in Fibber Magee’s for over a year also.  I have vast experience in shooting in low light situations. I have captured many live burlesque/ cabaret shows. I have worked with many bands capturing them in their natural habitat. Or capturing images for promotional purposes.  I done a lot of working for Radio Nova, Focus Ireland and Pieta house. 

Covering all you business photography needs.

I understand each business is different and needs different approaches to showcase what they specialise in, whether that’s a gym, counselling service, corporate company, a bakery, a running club, a charity, a coffee shop to name a few. I will make sure I capture the images you require for whatever reasons.
