We’ve Northern Ireland’s largest collection of gowns outside of the universities

You’ve done the hard work, now let us make it easy for you. In our studio, we have the largest range of academic gowns and hoods outside of the universities and have a permanent collection of a huge range of academic gowns and hoods for Queen’s University, Ulster University, Open University and more. We clean these between sessions and take great care of them. We’ve been told many times, that often our gowns are in better condition than those at the universities. For hoods we do not have, we are able to easilly colour change similar hoods to maintain accuracy. We also have mortarboards (caps), scrolls and gowns. If you have a question about your hood choice please get in touch.

Other stuff we feel is important

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.
