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.

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.
Pentagon Row & City Parks
Arlington's beautiful parks and green spaces provide natural, relaxed settings for portraits that feel personal rather than posed.
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.
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

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.

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.
