The Best Miami Park for Graduation Photos
So, I recently held a contest to determine the best Miami park for graduation photos. The judges were tough (me), the competition was fierce (every park in Miami), and the results were completely unbiased (again, me).
Okay, fine—this wasn’t a real contest, but if it were, this park would have won. As a Miami graduation photographer, I’ve explored countless locations for graduation photo sessions, and one spot stands out above the rest. It checks all the boxes for variety, usability, and lighting, making it a dream location for senior portrait photography and graduation cap and gown photoshoots.
What Makes the Perfect Graduation Photography Location?
Before I reveal the winner, here’s what I look for when ranking spots for graduation photography in Miami:
-
Variety in Backdrops: Does the location offer different settings for both posed and candid graduation photos?
-
Accessibility: Is it easy to move around in a cap and gown without tripping over tree roots or fighting for space?
-
Lighting: Does the natural light work well for outdoor graduation photography at different times of day?
And the Winner Is… Matheson Hammock Park
After years of photographing graduates, Matheson Hammock Park takes the crown for the best Miami graduation photography location!
-
Versatile Backdrops: This park offers endless options, from lush greenery to elegant architectural elements, making it ideal for creative graduation photography.
-
Natural Lighting Options: Whether you book your graduation photo session in the morning or at golden hour, this park delivers flattering natural light. Plus, there’s enough shade to stay cool even during midday sun.
-
Easy Access & Usability: No complicated permits, no chaotic crowds—just a smooth, stress-free experience for your Miami graduation photoshoot.
-
Bonus: Public Restrooms: I added this one because, let’s be honest—if abuela, abuelo, or, let's face it, me, need the facilities, the photos will be better if and when nature calls. Also, changing rooms are great for outfit swaps!
