Graduation photos · Las Vegas
In short
Graduation photos in Las Vegas starts at $295: 60 min on location with a photographer who works in Las Vegas, and 30 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Graduation photos in Las Vegas?
A graduation session in Las Vegas is a one-hour cap-and-gown shoot at two campus locations, delivering 30 retouched photographs with solo, family and friend-group frames, priced from $295. For most graduates here the campus is UNLV, and UNLV’s winter commencement falls in mid-December, when Las Vegas has cool air and low afternoon sun rather than the heat of a May ceremony elsewhere in the Southwest. That makes the weeks before a December ceremony some of the most comfortable outdoor shooting days of the Las Vegas year.
Worth knowing about Las Vegas
UNLV holds its fall 2026 commencement at the Thomas & Mack Center: graduate degree candidates on Tuesday, December 15 from 4pm, and undergraduates on Wednesday, December 16 in two sessions, 9am and 3pm, split by college. UNLV also runs a free commencement photo day on November 19, 2026 at the UNLV letters and rose garden for registered fall graduates, so a paid session is best booked on a different day, with parents, siblings and friends in the frame.
