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.
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.
Real Couples Sessions by By Asa Photography
Why Every Couple Deserves a Professional Portrait Session
Engagement Sessions
Celebrate your engagement with a relaxed portrait session before the wedding day. These images are perfect for save the dates, wedding websites, and cherished keepsakes.
Anniversary Portraits
Mark another year together with beautiful portraits that reflect who you are as a couple right now. These sessions become more meaningful with every passing year.
Pre-Wedding Sessions
A session before your wedding day helps you get comfortable in front of the camera — so on your wedding day you feel natural, relaxed, and completely at ease.
Northern Virginia Locations
The mansion's original windows flood interior rooms with soft, directional light — ideal for candid moments and intimate portraits without flash.
Golden Hour Sessions
The light one hour before sunset is magical for couples photography — warm, soft, and flattering. I'll time your session perfectly to make the most of it.
Fully Personalized
Every couples session is tailored to you — your style, your locations, your vision. Whether you want romantic and editorial or relaxed and candid, I'll deliver exactly that.

“By Asa Photography did our engagement photos last fall and our wedding photography last month, and we really appreciated his services. Asa was extremely easy to get along with and was very good on our wedding day about adjusting whenever things did not go according to plan. We also appreciated how quickly we received our photos back. We would definitely recommend By Asa Photography.”

“Asa is fantastic! From our first phone call we knew that we found the perfect photographer that matched our personality. We had our 2-hour advanced engagement session at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel comfortable and the photos came out beautifully.”

Engagement Session in Vienna, VA
★★★★★
“I can’t recommend Asa enough! He was our photographer for both my now-husband’s and my engagement and wedding photography. I had booked Asa for the engagement shoot first as kind of a ‘trial’ because my husband, god love him, is the most awkward human in front of a camera. Asa made him feel so comfortable and the photos came out BEAUTIFUL. We immediately booked him for the wedding after that. Asa is calm, professional, responsive, and truly talented.”
