What our customers say…

★★★★★
Louise

 
I KNEW I had to book with him for my graduation photos. My photos at QUB did not even compare to the level of detail and dedication that Graham has put into my photos. I am more than impressed with the quality and his hospitality! We always love going to see Graham and Hannah at the studio as we know it is going to be such a brilliant photo experience!

My fiancée came here for her graduation photos. Graham was an absolute gentleman and was extremely professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend here to anyone. Much better process than normal graduation photos at the uni.

Thank you Graham. I went to Graham for my graduation photos as I suffer from ADHD and can be sensitive to lots of light. Thanks so much for accommodating my requests – the lighting made a massive difference for me, and I know for others who are significantly more sensitive to light and noise it will make an even bigger difference at enabling them to enjoy the experience. I will be recommending you far and wide!

I had some photos done by Graham for my winter Graduation, I took my dog Maple with me as I wanted something I really loved. Graham was absolutely brilliant each step of the way, he was very considerate on how to get the best photo while being mindful of Maple being a little nervous as she’s quite a shy pup. It was a wonderful day and I also got some tips to make sure my graduation hood didn’t slip off the following day for my ceremony. I couldn’t be happier with the photos nor the overall experience.

 

 

Other stuff we feel is important

 

You've got the gowns? Right?
In most cases, when you come to us there is no need to bring your own gown, hood, mortarboard or scroll. We can provide these for the most popular QUB, UU, OU and other universities. You will find further details and a complete list of the gowns we stock in our downloadable brochure.
I'd like to include family (and even the dog!), is this possible?
Yes, we would encourage you to bring family (and even your trusty pets too). We can accommodate even large groups at our studio.
Sensory awareness
If you or any of your party have any particular needs that you would like to make us aware of, please let us know in advance of your session. We are sensory aware, with all our staff having completed training and examinations with Autism NI. If you need us to turn the lights down, quiet the music, or just want to come to see us before your session – we’re here for you.
Are prints/digital images included?
None of our sessions include prints or digital images. Your session fee covers the time of the photographer and the use of our gowns only. In the same way the universities do, prints and digital images are available to purchase at the end of your session. Orders must be placed on the day and cannot be purchased after the session. Your booking fee is not a “deposit” and will not come off your order.

 

Remember, it’s your experience and we want to make it the best one.
