Welcome to Photosbyjen

Welcome to the studio of Jenny McCarthy, one of Ireland's best-known wedding, newborn & family photographers, and one of the country's leading wedding experts.

For more than 22 years, Jenny has helped couples feel at ease in front of the camera, capturing beautiful portraits as they naturally unfold.

Dean McCarthy photographs weddings alongside Jenny and leads PhotosByJen's pet, seasonal and event photography. The studio also offers newborn and family portraits.

“I just love capturing those little moments as they happen naturally. They're the ones that tell the real story.”
Jenny McCarthy

Jenny and her son Dean photograph weddings, newborns and families across Dublin and Ireland. Dean also has a passion for pet photography, seasonal sessions and events.

With 90% of their bookings coming from word of mouth, there's no better compliment than someone recommending them to family and friends.
