  	WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN LEEDS AND WEST YORKSHIRE
  	My name is Graham Gawthorpe, Wedding Photographer, based in Leeds, covering the West Yorkshire area - and beyond. Congratulations on your Wedding Announcement, and welcome to my website.
  	Weddings are Special Occasions, not only for the Bride and Groom, but for me also. Each wedding I photograph is different, and my objective is to produce a beautiful album of stylish pictures to help you to relive your Special Day over and over again. Pictures with style are created when a Couple and Photographer work together in harmony. Style is that special something the makes the pictures uniquely 'yours'. Experience, coupled with careful planning means you and your guests aren't  kept waiting - allowing more time for having fun and enjoying yourselves. To see my prices and some album examples, just click on the 'PRICES' box above. Ask for hard copies of my brochures. Make comparisons, and you'll see that not everybody offers the same service and value. You can pay too much, or too little. There's more to it than just cost. I'll be delighted to call for a chat without obligation to discover what you have in mind, and advise you on the best value for money. You'll find the service friendly, the prices honest with no hidden extras, and no 'hard sell'. Contact me now, you'll be glad you did. And don't let anyone kid you that wedding photography is just about pictures on the Day. Long before then it starts by establishing your exact needs. Not everybody wants the same. Your wedding is unique and the pictures ought to show all the joy and excitement of your Day. We've all heard about photographers taking hours with the pictures, usually a sign of bad planning and not establishing the Couple's needs beforehand. My first step is to send the Couple a list of picture-suggestions to help them form some idea of what they really want. Then, a couple of weeks before the wedding I make an appointment to see them to make our Plan. The important thing is not to leave anybody out. The number of pictures I take depends on the time available. To help with this I usually ask them to nominate someone from each of their families to get their family groups together. This then saves me time not having to look for people I don't know, so allowing me to concentrate on taking even more photographs. Not only do the Couple now have a wider choice of pictures, but the people in them don't look so bored. The Web has made a big difference. Your pictures can now be viewed by friends and family wherever they are in the world, especially those who were unable to be at the wedding, and they can order pictures without troubling you. A treat awaits you when you return from holiday. All the pictures, with music, will be ready on DVD to watch on TV. Apart from the pleasure of seeing them, in conjunction with a sheet of small thumbnails, you can select your album pictures. Of course, the DVD is yours to keep. As for the albums, each is accompanied by a slip giving the name of the person who made it. That says 'quality' doesn't it ?
