Garden Graduations

Graduations in 2020 probably aren’t going to be quite what we expected… this year we might not be able to travel to ceremonies, might not have gowns and hoods or the pomp and ceremony, or maybe we’ll only be able to enjoy a bit of it from a distance or via video link, but we can still celebrate the achievements. We can still have one of the best bits – the garden party, the family photos, together….
My own favourite graduation photos are from the garden party after the ceremony – it was the first real part of the day I got to share with my family having dashed around all morning to get robes, a studio photo, and lining up to sit with my classmates. My copy of that posed studio shot taken aline clutching a plastic tube is hidden somewhere in a cupboard but those pics in the garden with my friends and family after, they’re the ones I go back to and that sat treasured on our family sideboard all those years I lived away.
So if you’ve got a soon to be graduate at home and still want to mark this milestone I’m going to soon be offering Garden Graduation shoots, all complete with a slideshow video so you can share the good news with family and friends who can’t be there to celebrate.
I’ll come to your garden and photograph your graduate, and together with family, all socially distanced and in line with the restrictions of course. I don’t tend to shoot very close and with longer lenses I can ensure we still capture authentic photos without compromising. Strawberries, fizz, and online home graduation purchases all optional…
