  • Best Grad Photo specializes in high quality, traditional-style commencement day graduation photos. Our skilled photographers use state-of-the-art camera and lighting equipment, and our staff work hard to make sure not a hair or stole is out of place in your photos.

  • On the day of your ceremony, our team of photographers will take four posed photos of you on and off the commencement stage. Photographers will also be taking candids of you and your peers during your ceremony.

    After the ceremony, our team prepares the images and puts them together in an online gallery which will be made available to you. Here you can select your favorite images, share them with friends, and order various prints and merchandise.

  • Nothing! If you’re a graduate, you just attend graduation as expected. You really just have to make sure that you look put together and photo-ready. If you’re a parent, relative, loved one, or friend, you just show up and enjoy the ceremony! It’s that easy.

FAQs

 

Will my t-shirt show under the gown?

Yes, if you are wearing a t-shirt or sweatshirt under the gown, it will show. You’ve earned the privilege to shine in that graduation gown, so avoid wearing just a t-shirt under it.

Here are our recommendations on how to look good for your pictures.

How do you know who I am in the candid photos?

We work with the school to ensure that everyone is identified in order to receive their photos.

HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

Your photo proof gallery will be sent to the email address that you provide upon reservation.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

You will receive your photo gallery approximately two weeks from your grad portrait session.

HOW CAN I REACH YOU?

You can email us at support@bestgradphoto.com, or call at (800) 284 7235.

Please ensure that the answer to your question is not already above on this informational page. Thank you.

WILL MY PHOTOS BE RETOUCHED?

Retouching is provided upon request. The cost of retouching is dependent on the complexity of what you would like retouched. When you receive your gallery of proofs, you will be able to add retouching to your shopping cart.

WHAT CAN AND CAN’T BE RETOUCHED?

We offer face shine removal, stray hair removal, blemish/pimple removal, teeth and eye whitening, facial wrinkle softening, background enhancement, and clothing wrinkle removal.

Unfortunately, modern technology does not yet grant us the ability to convincingly change your outfit or the people in your photograph.
