The day you’ve been waiting for is almost here—graduation! And trust me, you’ll never regret capturing every moment with tons of photos. The last thing you want is to get caught up in all the excitement and forget to snap those memories. That’s where this free capture guide comes in, so you don’t miss a single moment of this incredible milestone!

HERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO NAIL YOUR GRADUATION DAY PHOTOS

YOU IN YOUR GRADUATION DRESS/SUITE

Work all the angles! Whip that dress around, peek over your shoulder, flash a smile at the camera—get creative with it. Throw on your cap and gown, but leave the gown open to show off your dress and shoes for a fun, styled look!

YOU IN YOUR CAP & GOWN

Take all the pics—full body shots, close-ups, selfies, and everything in between to really capture your cap and gown moment. Don’t forget a few shots with just your dress and cap for some variety!

THE DETAILS

Don’t overlook the little things! Snap pics of your graduation program, class ring, diploma, sashes—everything that adds a personal touch to your day. These small details are some of the most meaningful (and often forgotten) parts of commencement photos.

YOU WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS

Grab Mom, Dad, and your loved ones for some sweet family photos. These are the moments they’ll want to look back on forever, and trust me, you’ll treasure them too.

THE COMMENCEMENT EVENT

Get all the shots during your ceremony! Capture your family cheering in the stands, you and your friends in the class rows, and, of course, that epic moment when your friends cross the stage.

BONUS

Don’t forget to grab some videos throughout the day! Interview your friends and family to get their thoughts on your big moment—these little clips will be priceless memories down the road.

With this checklist, you’ll be sure to have all the pictures you need to remember your amazing graduation day. No moment left behind!
