#6
The Iconic University of Guelph Sign
This one is a must-have grad photo spot, super popular for that classic "I did it!" backdrop with the stone lettering, trees, and flowers. It's often ranked high for its bold, recognizable vibe.
Perfect for sitting on the ledge in a gown and a cap during fall foliage or spring blooms.

#5
The Portico on Johnston Green
This saved from demolition doorway is a sweet, low key history nod perfect for alumni feels. It's that subtle, "only we get it" frame-up.
#4
Gryphon Statue
You probably thought this one must be ranked #1, ha? Well, it is great, but it's super generic, and everyone's got a picture here, so we saved the more exclusive stuff for #1.

#3
Johnston Hall
Johnston Hall is a classic spot for grad photos because its historic stone façade, arched entrances, and iconic clock tower instantly give your images a timeless “U of G” feel.
It’s centrally located, so you can move quickly between Locations without losing shooting time, and the neutral stone tones photograph beautifully in both sun and overcast light.
#2
Alumni Walk
For your "walk into the future."
#1
Friends & Family at Your Spot
Friends and family,
Those people who've been there for you in your ups and downs, those who made this place home for all these years.
