The Best Time of Day to Book Your Graduation Photographer at the Beach


Two words: golden hour. That window right after sunrise or before sunset gives you soft light, long shadows, and that warm glow everyone’s chasing. Midday light at the beach is harsh. You’ll squint. Your shadows will be unforgiving. Early morning or evening is where the magic happens.

What should I wear?


  • Start with your cap and gown, then switch to something that feels like you
  • Avoid neon or large logos

Bring a friend or family member if it helps you feel more comfortable.
