Shae & Family

Graduation at the University of Cambridge is always a remarkable occasion, and Shae’s celebration was no exception. As a Cambridge graduation photographer, I’m lucky to witness these milestone moments up close — the pride, the excitement, and the joy shared between families who’ve travelled from near and far.

“The online gallery was visually stunning and incredibly well‑organised.”

When Shae reached out looking for someone to document his Cambridge University graduation, I knew the day would be special. What I didn’t expect was just how much I’d enjoy being part of it. From the moment I met Shae and his family, the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and full of anticipation.



Cambridge itself is a dream backdrop for graduation portraits. The historic college buildings, the iconic architecture, and the beautiful grounds all add depth and character to every image. Between the formal portraits, family group shots, and candid moments in between, we created a collection that tells the full story of Shae’s achievement.

“Working with Keith was the best decision I made for my graduation day.”

Some of my favourite images from the day were the spontaneous ones — the laughter, the quiet moments, the proud glances. These candid frames are what make graduation photography in Cambridge so rewarding: they capture the emotion behind the milestone.


Shae and family — thank you for inviting me into your celebration. It was a privilege to document such an important chapter.
