" In my event work with the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, we were extremely fortunate to receive a recommendation from Fairfax County EDA about five years ago to contact Kaveh Sardari to photograph our programs. His photos are outstanding and he is professional, quick, and unobtrusive in getting the necessary shots. He quickly learned our group and what we needed so working with him on site is seemless. Kaveh is accommodating of our timeline and needs in receiving our photos after the event. Our entire team always looks forward to working with him, and I highly recommend him! "  K. Surm.  Virginia Chamber of Commerce

His instincts, talents, and affability are without compare. I recommend him enthusiastically, whole heartedly, and without hesitation. Ryan H.
