Graduation Services

Island Photo has provided high-quality commencement photography for colleges and high schools over the past 30+ years. Our experienced teams and refined processes allow us to photograph thousands of graduates efficiently while maintaining the quality and professionalism these milestone events deserve.

Proven Experience

Schools trust us with their graduating classes year after year. That trust is built through careful planning, consistent communication, and dependable execution.

Photographing more than 600 ceremonies annually, commencement photography remains our core market. Over three decades in this field have shaped the systems and preparation that allow our teams to operate efficiently while maintaining the professionalism these events require.
Each ceremony is approached with thoughtful coordination and attention to detail. Our teams work closely with administrators to ensure coverage aligns with the institution’s traditions, schedule, and expectations.

Why Schools Choose Island Photography

We Are Highly Accommodating & "Partner" with Our Schools

We build relationships that last! We urge you to use our 30+ years of experience as a resource. We offer a wide scope of ceremony best practices and data regarding flow and timing from hundreds of colleges and high schools. Our mission is to make your job easier and more efficient. We build processes based on your needs.

Skilled and Qualified Teams

Arriving 2 hours before the ceremony, professionally dressed in suits, our teams get to work preparing for your ceremony. 75% of our photographers have between 5-15 years of commencement experience.

No Cost or Obligation

There is never any cost to the school or graduate nor obligation to purchase.

Unobtrusive Style

This coverage does not impact the pace of your ceremony. We are unobtrusive and sensitive to the school's wishes regarding location and flow. We photograph each graduate very quickly.

Touch-free Name Announcement or Reader Cards

We work closely with Tassel and can arrange for this service to be at your event or provide reader cards for your ceremony.

Photography Poses

We photograph every graduate 2-3 times. Once as they cross the stage (candid) and then again as they exit (or enter) for a quick "portrait style" photo.

Gray Screen

We provide gray screen as an option for the portrait style photo which offers your graduates a selection of unique school-oriented backgrounds.

Virtual Class Photos

Created from our gray screen images, we are able to produce a "Virtual Class Group" photo of up to 800 graduates. These framed panoramic prints of past classes can add a nice touch of legacy to your walls!
