This past week has been an exasperating time of figuring out the last minute details for my graduation. Sure, I may have the dress, but it turns out that graduation day can involve a whole lot more. If you share my procrastinating nature, it is most likely that you are panicking as you try to scramble to find venues to take your photos (places other than the likely crowded Peace Bridge, perhaps?). Below is a conveniently list of some photo locations you may not have considered. Enjoy and happy graduating!
1. Central Memorial Park (1221 2 St SW)
Complete with beautiful paved pathways, fountains and some monumental monuments, this is a perfect location for greenery landscaped with downtown Calgary as the backdrop.
2. Wonderland Sculpture (500 Centre Street SE)
Come on, just imagine you and all of your friends dressed to the nines with this giant head in the background. Day or night, this sculpture is a glorified piece of art that is sure to make any photo.
3. Crescent Heights (North Calgary)
For the more traditional view of Calgary’s skyline, check out Crescent Heights. This neighbourhood’s beautiful view is sure to enrapture the momentous feeling on your graduation day.
4. Eau Claire (200 Barclay Parade SW)
With some of the most beautiful bridges in Calgary as well as a riverside view, Eau Claire gives a stunning and more relaxed atmosphere. Feel free to bask on your day, take a stroll and get some shots of you and your loved ones on the gorgeous Eau Claire path. You deserve to smell the roses!
5. Riley Park (Northwest Calgary)
This exquisite park in the Hillhurst area boasts some of the best gardening work in the city. This spot is excellent for those who wish to take photos with a more natural essence.
