With graduation just around the corner, commemorate the monumental milestone at picturesque locations ideal for capturing memorable moments on camera. From iconic landmarks to serene nature spots, here are the best places to snap college graduation photos at Coastal Carolina University:
No CCU graduate’s photo collection would be complete without a picture at the Chauncey Statue at Brooks Stadium. The location is a must-visit, there is no better way to show off school spirit and Chanticleer pride than a photo standing next to the beloved mascot. Whether a sports enthusiast, an athlete or a superfan who simply wants to bleed teal, strike a pose with Chauncey to add some spirited flair.
For students who desire a more formal look, both the Singleton Building and Atheneum Hall‘s grand columns and historic architecture can serve as an elegant backdrop. These locations show academic excellence and are perfect for a more traditional and professional graduation portrait.
Located at the very heart of campus, Turtle Bridge by Prince Lawn can offer a tranquil, scenic location that is ideal for an intimate and reflective photo session. Courtesy of the lush greenery overlooking the pond, the area provides a peaceful escape. It would make a fantastic group photo, shared with friends and classmates. The bridge reflects the symbolic crossing and transition from student life to future aspirations.
Taking graduation photos at the starting point of a student’s journey is a terrific way to reflect on academic experiences. Whether it is the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts courtyard or the Wall College of Business fountains, taking photos at an individual college adds a meaningful, personal touch.
To improve the photo, try photographing it at “golden hour,” right after sunset or sunrise, for the best natural lighting. Adding personal props besides the standard cap and gown are a great way to make the photos unique. Graduation photos paired with the right backdrops can properly capture the dedication and memories made throughout a student’s journey as they embark on the bright future ahead.
