A Surprise Proposal on the Howth Cliff Path

Located less than an hour outside Dublin City centre, Howth is a bit of a hidden gem. The town itself is home to quaint cafes and restaurants which overlook the picturesque harbour. The cliff path is a beautiful trail which overlooks the Baily lighthouse. If you’re looking for the perfect proposal spot near Dublin, Howth should be top of your list!

Brian and Shannon

Brian was deciding the best place to propose when Shannon’s change of job allowed for a week off to visit Ireland. Since Shannon’s family have Irish roots, Brian thought it would be the perfect place to propose.

We discussed a few locations for the proposal – Cliffs of Moher, Howth Cliff Path and the Wicklow Mountains. Since they were staying in Dublin, we decided that Howth would be the perfect place and I scouted a few day’s beforehand to ensure we got the best location for the proposal.

While there was a slight delay with Brian and Shannon arriving at the location, we spotted each other in the midst of golden hour. While I pretended to look at the signpost, Brian and Shannon headed down the path. Brian had initially gone down on the wrong path – luckily he looked back at me and I was able to point him in the right direction.

Brian asked me to take a photo of him and Shannon – once we got the photo taken, he dropped to one knee. Shannon’s reaction of shock, delight and pure happiness was so beautiful to capture! She had no idea this was about to happen and was truly taken aback – what a special moment to witness!

We enjoyed the rest of the sunset while exploring different spots around the Howth Cliff Path – this is one of the most beautiful areas around Dublin. I loved getting to know Brian and Shannon while getting some beautiful photos to celebrate this special time for them both.

Are you planning to propose to your other half? I’d love to hear from you!

Joe and Hailey

Joe and Hailey had planned a week’s holiday in Dublin at the start of August and Joe got in touch about his plans to propose during their time in Ireland. Since they were staying in Dublin, we decided that the best place would be Howth with its beautiful scenery and we made plans to be there for sunset.

Once I arrived, I noticed that Joe was already in position so I tried to get the best hiding place for the proposal. Hailey’s surprise, along with the picturesque surroundings, was beautiful to capture!

Afterwards, the explored the stunning surroundings around the Cliff Path and enjoyed the sunset glow in the sky. It was such a joy to get to know Joe and Hailey throughout the shoot and hear more about the rest of their holiday plans. I was super jealous when I heard they were doing some horse riding in the Wicklow mountains!

Are you planning to pop the question while you’re on holiday in Ireland? I’d love to hear from you!
