Planning out where to take your official graduation photos? Need some inspiration? We've selected some traditional spots — and some non-traditional spots — to share with you. Remember, the campus is a walking campus and some locations will be in HUGE demand (bear statue, library steps, Stevens and Williams Halls). So go find a spot that is a little quieter, snap some awesome pics (tag the University and us) and then head back when things quiet down!

Big events demand high levels of support. We're proud to help plan and support large events like UMaine's Accepted Student Days. The first was March 25, but there are two more in April along with an open house. From making sure guests get the full experience to ensuring that the vendors have everything they need, we are here to help handle the details while our clients make a great first impression. What event are you planning?
