Bio

Covering the Philadelphia area for the Wedding Bureau is Editorial and Corporate photographer Jim Graham. Jim is a former staff photographer for Wilmington News Journal. He was Southern Photographer of the Year and has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He was second in The Gannett Chain in Color Photography and won Society of Professional Journalist's best News Photograph of the Year.

I loved having Jim by my side at our wedding - not only is he an excellent photographer, but he’s also a great person & helped calm my pre-wedding jitters! We love our photos - the difficulty we had in choosing only 40 for our album is a testament to that!
-Jordan (December 29, 2006)

“I was so relieved when I found Jim Graham's work at the wedding bureau. Some people just "get it" and it's really apparent. Jim gets it. Then I thought if he were the best, he’d cost the most. But he wasn't. People I didn't like as much cost more. There's a certain quiet confidence that the Wedding Bureau has that is luckily contagious to a bride in a tizzy. After speaking with 20 or so photographers, I'm certain I've found the right one”!
-Lauren

“My experience with the Wedding Bureau and their photographer Jim Graham was a very pleasant part of my wedding planning and memories. Jim offered great suggestions to help make the day even more memorable and the album has received great praise from the friends we have shared it with. I was warned that the wedding day would fly by so fast that I would hardly remember any details. That in fact did happen and my photo album was my only true detailed memory. I could not wait to receive it to really experience the emotions of the day, which were captured beautifully. Thanks again for creating a very treasured memory for my husband and I.”
