  • At Candid Campus Photography, we understand that graduation is a moment to celebrate, and we’re proud to offer a stress-free way for students to capture this milestone. Many of the universities we work with host a Grad Fair where prospective graduates can order their cap & gown, invitations, and class rings. We bring the studio experience to these events by setting up professional lighting, cameras, and backdrops, offering each student the chance to have a cap & gown portrait taken in a relaxed environment.

    This allows students to create a beautiful portrait without the rush or distractions of the ceremony itself. No worries about blinking or a tassel in the face—just a chance to capture a memorable, high-quality image. After the event, we provide students with complimentary color proofs, with no obligation to purchase, so they can view their images and choose the perfect portrait to treasure for years to come.
