And sometimes we can use the large crowds at Disneyland to our advantage, using a technique called shutter drag.

And here is another angle of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, near the Sleeping Beauty Wishing Well.

And it’s always fun for any age to catch a ride on the Merry-go-round, also known as the King Arthur’s Carousel at Disneyland.

And here is us just having a little fun in toon town with our recent grad.

And where better for a fan of Star Wars to get Star Wars themed graduation photos? In front of a life-size Millennium Falcon!

And we can never leave out Mickey Mouse.

After grad photography at Disneyland, we hopped over to California Adventures to end the portrait session.

This is such an amazing Disneyland grad photo.

And then we hopped over to Cars land

This is a great collection of grad photos at Disneyland. We have lots of examples of photography at Disneyland, so make sure to check out the many other blog posts we have about Disneyland, California Adventures, and graduation photography in Orange County

Starting at the Fantasyland Castle in Disneyland

I love this photo in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, which is the picturesque entrance to Fantasyland.

Here’s using the iconic Disneyland Carousel (also known as the King Arthur Carousel) as a backdrop for these graduation photography portraits. We do a lot a photography sessions at Disneyland, so check out the many other examples we have on our blog.

And they aren’t graduation photos without a cap and gown.

Toontown Grad Photos

After Fantasyland, we hopped up to Toontown for grad photos at Mickey’s house.

And yes, there is a graduation pin that you can pick up at the Disneyland City Hall.

And you gotta love retaking a photo from the past in the same spot over It’s a Small World ride.

California Adventures Graduation Photography

We headed over to California Adventures, since the background of the Incredicoaster and the Pixar’s Pal-a-round is unmatched. It was previously known as the Sun Wheel and Mickey’s Fun Wheel, but we like to call it the Death wheel (You can get soooooooo dizzy on the sliding ones).

Gotta love doing graduation photos with the Pixar Pier in the background, capped off with a cap and gown.

And it’s always a good time to bust out your letters jacket for the grad portraits.

Finishing the Session in Carsland

We wrapped the session in Carsland.

Starting Graduation Photos at Fantasyland

Gotta love starting the session with a Genie to grant three wishes as you transition into another phase of life!

The Sleeping Beauty Castle is an icon of not just Fantasyland, but of the whole of Disney. So of course we have to use it as an essential background for our graduation photography.

And of course it’s not a graduation photography session without a cap and gown photo.

Some more Fun Grad Photos in Toontown

Toontown is a great place for silly and fun graduation photos, with the cartoony curves and theming.

Finishing the Graduation Photos at DCA

We hopped over to Disney California Adventures to finish the session in front of the DCA Pixar Pal-A-Round ferris wheel. It’s definitely one of the most recognizable and iconic backgrounds in Orange County.

And then we wandered over to Cars Land for more fun grad photos.

Starting Disneyland Graduation Photography at Toon Town

We started in Toon Town, a whimsical backdrop to begin the portrait session.

And we happened to get a photo with Donald Duck when he walked out.

Moving on to California Adventures for more Grad Photos

We walked over to the other side of Disneyland, California Adventures, for more graduation photos. Gotta love the disney grad cap!

Sunset Photos at the Ferris Wheel

When the light was perfectly soft around the sunset, we were at the ferris wheel across the water.

More Graduation Photos at Cars Land

To finish the grad photo session, we walked over to Cars Land.

Disneyland Graduation Photography in Anaheim, CA

This is a great example of grad photos at Disneyland in Anaheim (Orange County). We do graduation photography in Los Angeles and Orange County, but Disneyland also has a very special place in our hearts. We love the many different backdrops in such close proximity, along with the many memorable locations that we have grown up with. Graduations are a time for celebrating happy memories, so it makes sense to pick happy places. Make sure to check out the rest of our website for many other examples of grad photos, whether on campus, in a field, or at Disneyland.
