About - By Asa Photography Award Winning Wedding Photographer in Alexandria, VA

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Real Experience. Real Alexandria.

I’m Asa — a Northern Virginia wedding photographer based right here in the DMV. Over the past decade, I’ve spent my career building relationships with couples, venues, and vendors across Alexandria, Arlington, and Washington, DC. I don’t just visit these locations — I truly know them.

Whether you’re exchanging vows at a sleek Pentagon City rooftop venue, celebrating in a classic Ballston ballroom, or hosting an intimate micro wedding in one of Arlington’s beautiful parks or historic properties, I know this city’s venues intimately — and exactly how to make the most of every location.

A Relaxed, Documentary – Style Approach

Additionally, my approach is photojournalistic at heart: I capture your day as it actually unfolds, with the emotions raw and the details real. No stiff posing, no cookie-cutter shots. Instead, the focus stays on real moments, natural emotion, and authentic connection.

LOCATION

Why Arlington Is a Beautiful Setting for Wedding Photos

From sweeping skyline views to intimate neighborhood venues, Arlington offers a diverse and stunning range of backdrops for wedding photography.

DC Skyline Views

Arlington’s elevated venues offer breathtaking views of the Washington DC skyline — a dramatic and uniquely iconic backdrop that no other Northern Virginia location can match.

Park bench and son

Pentagon Row & City Parks

Arlington’s beautiful parks and green spaces provide natural, relaxed settings for portraits that feel personal rather than posed.

Mansion

Historic Properties

From Ball-Sellers House to other landmark properties, Arlington has a rich historic character that creates timeless wedding portrait opportunities.

World Class Venues

Arlington’s venue scene ranges from rooftop ballrooms to boutique hotels — sophisticated spaces that photograph beautifully at any time of day.

Bride over water

Key Bridge & Waterfront

The Potomac waterfront and Key Bridge area offer stunning golden hour light and sweeping open sky backdrops just minutes from most Arlington venues.

Vibrant Neighborhoods

Clarendon, Ballston, and Rosslyn each have their own distinct character — brick streetscapes, murals, and architectural details that add personality to every portrait session.

WHAT I OFFER

Photography Services in Alexandria, VA

From intimate elopements to full wedding days, every package is tailored to fit your vision and budget.

01 Full Wedding Coverage

All-day documentation from getting ready through the last dance. I work with second shooters on larger weddings to ensure every angle is captured.

02 Micro Wedding Photography

Intimate celebrations with 20 guests or fewer. Same quality, focused attention, and shorter timeline — ideal for couples who want meaningful without massive.

03 Elopement Photography

Just the two of you — and me. In fact, elopements are my favorite kind of session. We’ll find a beautiful corner of Alexandria and make it yours.

04 Engagement Sessions

A chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Additionally, Old Town Alexandria makes a perfect backdrop — and these images are gallery-worthy on their own.

05 Photo + Videography

Some packages include videography services, letting you relive your day through both still images and moving footage. Additionally, ask about availability during consultation.

06 Family & Portrait Sessions

Beyond weddings, I also photograph families, couples, and individuals throughout the Alexandria and Northern Virginia area year-round.
