You did it! Three years of hard work, and your graduation day is here. Your graduation is more than just a ceremony- it’s a celebration of achievement and a moment to look back on the incredible memories you’ve made at university.
Capturing your graduation day doesn’t have to be predictable; take the opportunity for a creative graduation photoshoot and make your gown stand out!
1. Get outside!
Make your gown stand out with an outdoor graduation photoshoot. Take yourself to the famous landmarks in your University town and grab some pictures. Perhaps there’s a favourite park of yours where you have many happy memories? Ask your photographer to grab some shots of you for a sense of nostalgia.
The classic black graduation gown can look great against bright colours- think a bright graffiti wall, a garden with bright flowers or maybe even a beach to add a pop of colour to your photos and help your gown stand out.
Another outdoor graduation photoshoot idea is to head out for golden hour. Shooting at golden hour is softer and more subtle, and adds a dreamy and reminiscent quality to images.
2. Grab your best friends
At university, you will have made some lifelong friends, who you’re likely to mark many of life’s milestones with, so what better way to celebrate your friendship with a best friend graduation shoot. Grab your friends and create your own funny graduation photoshoot. You could grab some props and have some fun, getting your photographer to grab some candid shots. You’ll have a series of photos you and your friends can look at in years to come.
Perhaps you’re graduating with your partner? A couple graduation photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate your achievements and relationship. Perhaps revisit the place you first met and take a couple of shots to mark this chapter in your journey together.
3. Toss your Cap in the air
No Graduation photoshoot would be complete without the classic photo of you tossing your cap in the air.
Grab your classmates and create a wonderful memory of celebrating your achievements and ending this chapter.
4. Have a family photoshoot
It’s not very often you get the key members of your family together to celebrate a momentous occasion like your graduation. So why not have a graduation family photoshoot? A professional photographer has access to the best lighting and props so they can help capture a picture everyone is happy with.
At Evess we offer a graduation family photoshoot so you can treasure your Graduation day with your family.
5. Add your own style
Add your own unique style to your gown with your accessories. Your graduation outfit should be formal, but that doesn’t have to mean boring. You can add a bit of personality by opting for some bright shoes or some jewellery, or even a personalised tie. You get to choose the outfit you wear under your gown, so pick something that you feel suits you and that you know you’ll feel comfortable and confident in.
Your graduation photoshoot can be creative and reflect your personality. It’s good to have a mixture of some more professional photos along with some fun candid ones. At Evess we have your professional photos covered. We have years of experience in capturing graduations. We make sure that your photo requests are heard, so you feel relaxed and comfortable in the studio. We provide a range of options from digital galleries to full print packages to share with all of the family.
