Graduation Session at Arcadia University

Some sessions just feel like summer and celebration—and this one with Ella and Ashley at Arcadia University was exactly that.

They just wrapped up their degrees a whole year early (seriously, how impressive is that?) and have been each other’s constant through college, travel abroad, and all the chaos in between. So when they asked us to photograph their graduation session, we knew it needed to be more than just portraits—it needed to reflect them, their story, and the campus where it all came together.

We started on the lawn getting some golden hour photos and then went down the winding brick paths behind the castle—those little tucked-away corners of campus that feel almost secret. The trees filtered the light just right, and the ivy-covered walls were perfect for softer, more candid shots. Finally we went to Grey Towers Castle. It’s iconic, and it gave us that perfect blend of fairytale architecture and golden-hour light.

Ella & Ashley, congratulations!
