  • “Connor's work is fantastic! I've worked with Connor on several projects now and he has been incredible to work with. He communicates extremely well, asking all the right pre-session questions. He then delivers on your vision with the best quality photos. He's especially great at capturing the right moments. His turnaround time is amazing. I've never been disappointed. I can't wait for our next project together.”

  • “Connor was an absolute pleasure to work with. I planned a first birthday party for one of my clients and he did a phenomenal job. He was timely, great communication, and his attention to detail was amazing! My client and her family loved their photos. I will use him again and again for all my future events.”

    Kamry S.

  • “I recently hired Connor to photograph a surprise birthday party that I hosted for my partner. Connor was phenomenal, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is extremely talented and professional, a clear communicator, and has impressive attention to detail. He did a fantastic job working the room at the event and capturing tons of group photos and candid shots. The photos turned out perfectly — he captured the energy of the event in an authentic, artistic, and engaging way. He edited and sent the photos back to me within just a few days, which far surpassed my expectations. On top of all of that, he’s reasonably priced. If you’re looking for an A+ photographer for your upcoming event, look no further than Connor.”

  • "Very talented photographer and wonderful to work with too. Connor photographed a 3-day conference for my work and he provided me with excellent photos to use on socials each day. He turned around the full gallery of photos quickly too. The pictures were fantastic. Would not hesitate to use again!"

FAQs

How far in advance should I book?

To secure your spot, it’s best to book 3–6 weeks in advance, especially during Washington DC’s peak seasons. Still, we’re often able to take on last-minute requests—so don’t hesitate to reach out.

What does your event photography include?

We capture key moments, speakers, networking, and the overall atmosphere of your event. The goal is to document the energy, details, and marketable highlights in a candid and unobtrusive way.

Can I add headshots during my event?

Absolutely! We provide on-site headshot services at events—perfect for updating team photos or capturing portraits of speakers and attendees.

How much does event photography cost?

We offer hourly, half-day, full-day, and multi-day coverage, starting at $750. Exact pricing varies based on the size and scope of your event—a small networking reception is very different from photographing a gala or multi-track conference. Reach out for a customized quote tailored to your needs.
