Handshake Photos by Geskus Studios

We’re excited to introduce ourselves and congratulate you on this incredible milestone. We are Geskus Studios, the official photography partner for Boston University’s commencement ceremonies.

For commencement, our team is on-site capturing professional photographs of graduates during key moments of the ceremony, including crossing the stage and receiving congratulations. We’ve partnered closely with Boston University to ensure this process is seamless, unobtrusive, and focused on preserving this once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

We’ve had the privilege of photographing commencements for schools across New England, and we’re honored to be part of Boston University’s celebration. Our goal is to provide you with timeless, high-quality images that reflect the pride and accomplishment of graduation day.

How to Find Your Photo

After graduation, students will receive an email from Geskus Studios with a secure link to view your commencement photos online. The email will include all the details needed to preview images and place an order if desired. Ordering is completely optional, and pricing and product options will be clearly outlined within the gallery.
