Let’s be real — UH isn’t the ideal place to take graduation photos right now due to the ongoing construction. If you’re graduating in May, you might be in the same predicament as me: where do I take my graduation photos? Figuring that out can be hard due to the fact that popular photo spots such as the UH sign in front of the Cullen Performance Hall and the fountains aren’t exactly the most picture-esque right now.
Even if that’s the case, you shouldn’t let that hold you back from getting your graduation photos taken. Taking graduation photos is the perfect way to capture the moment when years of hard work finally pay off. Plus, Houston has plenty of beautiful and scenic places that are perfect for graduation pictures.
So don’t worry! Here are 15 picture perfect spots for graduation photos — that aren’t on campus.
