His work at our recent Gala captured the energy of the evening perfectly, from the guests to the performing artists, and the beautiful venue - the photos were clear and well composed. We deeply appreciated his professionalism, clear communication style, eye for detail, creativity, and fast turnaround. We would recommend Connor’s photography services to other nonprofits in the DC area!"
