Ceremony Photography: We have hired professional photographers to take an individual portrait of each graduate, as well as a photo as they traverse the stage. These photos—along with candid shots—will be shared, free of charge, with graduates after the event. As such, we ask that guests please refrain from standing in the aisles to take pictures so that we can ensure safety and visibility for all attendees. Thank you.
