In this paper we study the $H + \gamma$ ($H = J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$) production in coherent hadron - hadron interactions at LHC energies. Considering the ultrarelativistic protons as a source of photons, we estimate the $\gamma + p \rightarrow H + \gamma + X$ cross section using the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism and considering different sets of values for the matrix elements. Our results for the total $ p + p \rightarrow p + H + \gamma + X$ cross sections and rapidity distributions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and 14 TeV demonstrate that the experimental analysis of the $J/\Psi + \gamma$ production at LHC is feasible.
