On graduation day, our sales area and photography studios are located in the LICA building on North Campus, just a short distance from the Great Hall where your ceremony will take place. We will be open throughout the day from 9am until 7pm.
Graduate portraiture sessions take approximately 10-15 minutes and family portraiture sessions last around 20-30 minutes.
Our experienced graduation photographers use digital cameras linked to laptop computers, so you can preview all your photographs and make your selection before you leave the studio.
Our photography studios are busiest directly before and after graduation ceremonies. To avoid long waits, we recommend having your photographs taken outside of these times. We will be open throughout the day from 9am until 7pm.
All digital files of your photographs, including those ordered as part of a Digital Package, will be given to you at the end of your photography session. You will also receive two 10 x 7 and four 7 x 5 photo mounts to take away with you on the day.
Your printed photographs will arrive in the post within 60 working days along with instructions on how to order reprints.
