Advantages: expensive

Disadvantages: good photographer

I had my graduation today and Ede and Ravenscroft were the company in charge of graduation robes and photography for the event. They are a company based in London and are used all over the country for graduations.

This isn't my first graduation so I have something to compare them with and I wasn't impressed. The robe hire was fine with a standard price but the photography was another matter. As usual, you can choose a variety of photography packages varying from a few photos to a large selection of different sized photos and memorabilia. The packages were really overpriced. I chose the basic pack which was £30 for one photo 10x8 inches and two small photos. I thought that this was seriously expensive for what it was.

I wanted more than three photos but the next package up was £40 for just two 10x8's and 4 small ones. I was also annoyed to find that they also added £5 postage and packaging making the total cost £35 for 3 photos! That is a lot. I graduating at a different university last year and I paid £26 for a a package with 2 10x8 inch photos and four smaller ones. That is a huge difference. I also got a free DVD but Ede and Ravenscroft charge £30 for a DVD!

On the plus side. The woman who took my photo was lovely and spent a long time straightening my robes and making sure my hair was in place before taking the photo.

If you ever get a choice of company for graduation photography or anything similar, avoid this company unless you are willing to pay a small fortune unnecessarily.
