FAQ

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’s included when you book a graduation session?

• 1-hour session at Wrightsville Beach (or nearby spots like Crystal Pier or The Loop)
• 40+ fully edited high-res images
• 2 outfits (cap + gown, then casual or dressy)
• Option to add film-style edits or video clips
• Turnaround time: 2-3 weeks

You’ll get a full gallery link you can download, share, or print from. No watermarks. No hidden fees.

How much does it cost?

Session pricing starts at $350.

A $100 deposit locks in your date.

You’ll get an invoice and contract within 24 hours of booking.

Venmo, PayPal, or credit card—all accepted.

When should I book?

If you’re graduating in May or December, try to book at least 4-6 weeks early, especially if you want golden hour slots (sunset).

I shoot on weekdays and Sundays at the beach—weekends fill up faster.

What should I wear?

• Start with your cap and gown, then switch to something that feels like you
• Avoid neon or large logos
• Think about how you’ll want to remember yourself—not just what’s trendy right now

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

Can I bring my dog / best friend / skateboard / grandma?

Yes. 100%. If they’re part of your story, bring them. Just let me know in advance so I can plan it into the shoot.
