Your Photo Shoot

Q:

Where are the studios located?

A:

Your university or college will set aside a special area. Details are usually outlined in the information given to you about ceremony arrangements. The studios will be well signposted on the day. We will make sure there are signs from the gowning hall.

Q:

What time are the studios open?

A:

We start taking pictures as soon as the gown collection area is open and we generally finish about an hour after the last ceremony of the day. If in doubt, please check with our staff on the sales desk.

Q:

Do I have to book a time?

A:

Where available, we recommend you pre-book your photography sitting time through our website. If you do not have a photography booking, then please arrive early on the day, since you may be able to have your photos taken as soon as you collect your academic dress. It's always worth speaking to our photography team to see if there are free sitting times available.

Q:

A member of my family is disabled/cannot stand for long periods, can this be accommodated?

A:

We will do all we can to accommodate your requirements. Pre-order your photographs if possible. On the day of your ceremony, speak to one of our staff who will be happy to assist and advise you.

Delivery

Q:

How long will my photographs take to arrive?

A:

Your photographs will be sent to you by post around six to eight weeks after your ceremony.

Q:

If I need more photographs later on, can I still order them?

A:

Yes. Please visit the link in the email you were sent to view your images and go via the New Order route.

Confirming Your Order (After Your Event)
