Hallie's Review!
The entire team of timeline visuals was beyond my expectations. My husband can be nervous behind the camera so we wanted a team that would fit in more like family than people creeping behind us all day. I almost forgot they were there with the way they blended in. Seeing the photos of the guests- it truly captured the joyous emotions of the day and the fun throughout the reception. We did not opt for a videographer but these photographers did more than just capture the photos. They somehow captured the emotion as if we had live video. Our families have let us know how impressed they are as well. Both with the final product, having them around on the day off, responsiveness, and respectfulness. 11/10 in everyone’s book! - Hallie
Hallie was kind enough to write us a review for our wedding photography. Thank you Hallie!

Dana's Review!
Daniel did an amazing job with our wedding. He understood what we were going for being this was our second wedding due to COVID, and really was integral to this event. He helped time the bridal party entries and first dance with our DJ based on how the evening was going as we had a late start with catering. He is so much more than a photographer and if you hire him you will not be disappointed. We had a great experience and are glad we hired him for our event.

Shutter Speed, Whats that?
What is Shutter Speed?
I just took your photo, wanna see me do it again? Wanna see me do it in slow-motion?
Photographer : Danny Graham -Engagement session at Raymond skills falls in PA, using a faster shutter speed to preserve a frozen moment.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Using flash and a relatively fast shutter to preserve the bride’s cousin’s dance moves, at her wedding at Casa Bianca in New Jersey.
The camera’s shutter is a mechanical (sometimes digital) device, that opens and closes for a predetermined amount of time. (There is also an open shutter for long exposure shots.)
Shutter is measured in parts of a second. Examples are 1/10,1/15, 1/30,1/60, 1/120, 1/240, but also in full seconds 1s , 5s ,10s.
Photographer Danny Graham, captures spark using a fast shutter during bride and grooms first dance at Casa Bianca in New Jersey.
The amount of time that the shutter is open or that the sensor is accepting light, determines the exposure of the image. It also determines how much motion blur the image gets or doesn't get.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Model Seana, stands in front of a moving train. Here we’re using a slow enough shutter to capture the motion of the train, but it’s still fast enough to preserve the model’s details.
Before you go cranking your shutter up to 1/8000, keep in mind that there are times when the motion blur from a slower shutter can be desirable. You can show a fast moving object, with a still world to emphasize the contrast of energy.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Entrance sparklers captured with some motion blur.
A fast moving subject can be followed as it passes, producing a clear crisp subject and it can emphasize the motion in a single image. Or you can always use a flash to preserve your subject and blur the background, using a process called Shutter Drag. Common examples are often used in motorcycle photography.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Capturing friends and motion blur on the dance floor. Wedding/Event @ Casa Bianca in Oak Ridge, NJ
Photographer : Danny Graham - Using shutter drag with a flash and a slower shutter speed. Wedding/Event @ Casa Bianca in Oak Ridge, NJ.
Contrast to using motion blur, you can always crank up the shutter and freeze motion. This can be awesome when capturing moments that are typically too quick to appreciate all of the fine details. Like someone or something frozen in mid air, or the spray of water, dirt or dust.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Shooting pigeons in a NYC park. The birds are frozen in time, using a faster shutter speed.
For video : Typically, you double or divide your shutter in half, in order to move up and down full stops of light. For video, it's often advised to follow the 180 rule. This is the perceived cinematic “normal”, in which you are doubling the frame rate to identify the shutter. Using the 180 rule, if you shoot in 24p as a frame rate, than your shutter should be set to 1/48 or 1/50. This is not so much a rule, but more of a guide. I encourage you to experiment with different frame rates and faster shutters, to produce crisper motion with less motion blur.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Captures a drummer playing mid-beat.
Photographer : Danny Graham - Capturing some entrance sparklers, while balancing the exposure and also timing the moment for the Bride and Grooms exit at Crystal Springs Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, NJ.
Hopefully this helps you to better understand shutter speed and how it works. It’s used as a lot more than just a way to control the exposure, so I hope that this knowledge can help your photography grow. Thank you for reading!

I was honored to be a part of it. Josh is a very close family friend and my cousin was the best man. Early on, I had a good feeling about the day.

It wasn’t until the dress was on, that I even remotely saw any stress in her face. But stress was short lived.

A rabbit came out and literaly watched, as we did the bridal portraits at Hallie’s Parents New Jersey home. It was slightly surreal that it didn’t fear us.This was no doubt symbolic of her gentile heart and likely was a good omen.

Shout out to the Due Amici for catering the event and feeding us and the other venders early, so we could efficiently capture the rest of our day. Not only was the meal amazing, but we were also really grateful for that kind of hospitality. The DJ, John Cicala from Silver sound was extremely professional, courteous and over all a pleasure to sit and chat with.

After the formalities, the reception erupted in the most energy that I’ve ever seen come from the DJ playing “Love Shack” by the B-52s. That energy held strong for at-least the next 4 hours. Needless to say, the love was strong that night and I believe it was a direct result of what kind of people Josh and Hallie are.

The cost of a wedding videographer can vary significantly based on several factors, including location, experience, and the services offered. On average, couples can expect to spend anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 for professional wedding videography. This price often includes pre-wedding consultations, a full-day shooting package, and post-production editing. Additional elements such as drone footage, highlight reels, and extra videographers can further increase costs. It's crucial for couples to assess their budget, the quality of work they desire, and the value of capturing their special day through video when selecting a videographer.
