Cassidy's Review

We had the best experience with Danny! He was thorough and communicative during the planning process. Day of, he made us feel completely comfortable and spared no detail. If there are specific moments you'd like photographed, rest assured that he will capture them. He'll also coach you through some other really lovely shots, make wonderful suggestions around background and lighting, and take the best candids. Danny is professional, kind, and knows what he's doing. I cannot recommend him highly enough - stop looking, just book him! - Cassidy

Thank you so much Cassidy! Its always a pleasure being with you two!

How use shutter-drag in your wedding photography

Shutter-drag is a technique to capture streaks of light by slowing the shutter while using a flash.It can be a tough technique to master but when you nail one it's incredibly rewarding.

The best way is to identify without the flash which lights you want to see. Prioritize keeping your iso lower so that you can keep your shutter slow enough that when you move the camera you get motion blur.

Next you want to set your flash. A shutter drag is almost like a double exposure and the subject is exposed first with the flash. The flash preserves the moment and then the extended shutter adds streaks to the image using lighting fixtures and other light sources.

The trick is to keep the photos from becoming too obscure. Every time I take a shutter drag I flick my wrist in a single direction or snap the zoom and plan the route so that the lights don't trail through the subjects face. It's not always easy to avoid. Playing around with how you move the camera and how fast you set your shutter is an engaging way to spend the end of an event.

If you are using a zoom lens try zooming in right after you snap the shutter and it creates a tunnel like effect.

How to get a blurry background

Photograher : Danny Graham

Photograher : Danny Graham

Three ways

  • Shoot wide open on your aperture

  • Use a longer focal length

  • Bring the subject closer to the lens

  • (optional: fake it in post!)

Using these 3 methods you can get a shallow depth of field and make your back ground blurry. You can also use these methods to do the Brenizer Method which involves sticking multiple photos together like a panorama to create the illusion of a shallow depth of field on a wide shot.

Kelsey's Review

“Danny is amazing!

There's so much to say about Danny! From start to finish he was professional, easy going, incredibly creative, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were so pleased with how he managed our entire wedding that we even brought him along for our after party! His photos are so romantically natural and beautiful. He truly captures the realness of each moment. You will not be disappointed when choosing Timeline Images, and I would recommend Danny to every single person I know looking for a photographer. “

Taylor's Review

Danny and his team were everything and more when it came to making my wedding day photo dreams come true. Danny went about and beyond with each step to ensure he knew what we were looking for out of our wedding photos, and that we felt comfortable with each part of the process. His consultation before the wedding and then again the morning of the wedding with me (the bride) made me feel confident in knowing all pictures I wanted would be captured. Danny and Tom(our second photographer) had such an eye for perfect lighting and shots of things I wouldn't have even thought of. Payment was easy and it was worth every single cent. The editing on each one of our pictures is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I would suggest Timeline Images to everyone looking for wedding photographer that is professional yet very personal all at the same time! Thank you again Danny!

Enagement Session with Timeline Visuals wedding photographer in Milford PA

Theres something to be said about a couple that learns how sarcastic their wedding photographer is and proceeds to book them anyway. We chose Milford for the historic archetecture and relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks for being special you two!

Looking forward to your wedding this year at The Westin Governor Morris

2022 is the year of epic weddings.

Cassidy & Tom's Visual Timeline

They got married last fall in a cemetery chapel up in New Hampshire. Cassidy is a big history buff and loved it for it’s deep rooted history.

She also did all of the décor for her reception at their humble New Hampshire home and it was top notch.

Cassidy and I go way back. I was visiting her in Boston when she went on her first night out this handsome devil.

We were high school friends and I know first hand how tough she is, as a teen I distinctly remember a fast ball pitch of an indestructible cellphone ricocheting off my head, and then not much after… Needless to say it was 100% well deserved because Cassidy is the sweetest and most kind homebody of a human being you will ever meet and Tom is her equivalent.

(Which knowing Cassidy it’s no suprise. Making candles and décor is right up her alley especially with her new venture  Stinson Provisions.  If you can believe it ;) she farms Bees and makes candles and other goods from the wax and honey.)

Their wedding was casual but had just enough formality to get everyone in their best Sunday pants to hit the dance floor. I was really excited to have been able to shoot their wedding and Im so happy for them!

Congrats Tom and Cassidy!
