Graduation is a milestone for the graduate and for everyone who helped them get there: parents, grandparents, teachers and friends. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover both sides of the day. We photograph and film commencement ceremonies for high schools, colleges, universities and programs, and the graduation parties that families host afterward, from backyard gatherings and restaurant dinners to larger celebrations with relatives who have travelled to be there.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in North Carolina
Check where photographers can stand
Many commencement venues have restricted areas. Schools that book us can arrange a position near the stage; families should plan portraits before or after the ceremony.
Book enough time for the ceremony
Large ceremonies can run 2 to 3 hours. For schools, we suggest booking the full ceremony plus 30 minutes afterward for celebrations and group photos.
Plan portraits for good light
Outdoor portraits work best in the morning or late afternoon. Midday sun in caps creates harsh shadows, so allow time for shaded locations.
Add video for schools and families
Schools often want a highlight video for their website and social media. A second videographer helps cover the stage and the audience at large ceremonies.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
