April is a hugely popular time for Graduation portraits on Campus and Cistern Yard of College of Charleston, especially in the evening. I found that we were dodging other photographers, grads, people studying, visitors, all among the other activities going on in the yard with practice dance squads! But I will say the morning and evening light at the Cistern Yard is really unbeatable given the backlit spanish moss and romantic glow of the golden hour light. Looking at this gallery you wouldn't even be able to tell how many people were around, so there is definitely enough room to share! I think my favorite photo-worthy spots of the Cistern Yard are the steps leading up to the Randolph Hall, and the little itty bitty courtyard around the back right side of the building. The iron gate there is so gorgeous and the flower bed is an incredible touch to liven up the background.
