Graduations FAQs

Where can I view your product range?

Visit our Graduations website. You will need your ceremony date and time to access this site if you have not already had your graduation. Otherwise, please use either your 8-digit docket reference or any of your 10-digit image reference numbers from the paperwork by our photographer on the day.

Do I need to book a studio time?

Booking is available at some universities but is not a necessary requirement. Contact your university to find out if booking is available for you. Our studios open as soon as the gowns are available.

You can attend our studios prior to your graduation once you’ve collected your gown, but please ensure you allow adequate time to have pictures taken if you do so.

Our studios are extremely busy throughout the day, but our dedicated staff will endeavour to allocate you to a photographer as quickly as possible.

Can I have a family photograph taken?

Yes, the maximum number we can accommodate for a family group photograph is 7 people (including the graduate). Larger groups are subject to a sitting fee, which is payable on the day. Please note this fee cannot be redeemed against any products purchased and is non-refundable.

For family groups of 8 & 9, there is a sitting fee of £25.

For family groups over 10, there is a sitting fee of £40

How do I order a group photograph from my graduation?

At many graduation ceremonies, we capture special group photographs to help you remember your day.

If a group photograph was taken at your graduation, details on how to order will be provided on the day.

You can also visit our Group Image ordering website (opens in a new window)at any time. Simply enter your University name in the search box to find and order your graduation group photograph.

How many people can I include in my family group photograph?

To ensure we can capture your group comfortably and create the best possible photograph, we can accommodate a maximum of 7 people in a family group photograph.

If you would like a photograph with more than 7 people, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to discuss your requirements.

How do I order my presentation photograph from graduation?

At many graduation ceremonies, we photograph graduates as they cross the stage and receive their award.

If presentation photographs are available at your ceremony, we'll provide full details on the day about how to view and order them.

You can also order online by visiting our Event Imaging website (opens in a new window).

Can I still place an order if my reference numbers aren't recognised?

Yes, even if your images aren't available to preview online yet, you can still place an order.

Simply select "If you haven't graduated yet" on our homepage and log in using your university name and graduation date. Once you've chosen your products, you'll be asked to enter your image reference number(s) before completing your order.

If we encounter any issues with your order, a member of our team will be in touch to help.

Why aren't my reference numbers being recognised?

During this time, your reference numbers may not be recognised online. If it's been longer than 7 working days, and you're still having trouble, please contact our team and we'll be happy to help.
