Vendor Love {Connor Studios}


We first met Michael Connor several years ago when we were interviewing photographers for a large Indian wedding. We'd heard that a D.C. photojournalist was taking the Indian wedding world by storm and we had to see what all the buzz was about!




We were not disappointed. We loved Michael's style and his ease with clients. He could handle a multiple day Indian wedding for several hundred people with grace but also capture an intimate church wedding beautifully. Since meeting Michael, we have had the good fortune to work with him many times and we are always blown away by the images he creates.


 Not only is Michael amazing, his team of shooters are fabulous. We have always been thrilled with everyone from the Connor Studios team! They are talented, easy-going and fun to work with--the perfect combination!



All our thanks to Michael and his team for the many wonderful weddings together!




We hope you enjoy these select images from weddings that Engaging Affairs has collaborated on with Connor Studios. Cheers!
