Asa photographed our August wedding and we are so happy with the photos. He was easy to work with, reasonably priced, and did a great job. Our wedding was in Old Town Alexandria, which Asa knows well, and he really captured our vision for shots that incorporated the feel of the area. For portraits, Asa was able to get great expressions out of everyone, even the large group photos. And we loved his candid shots – he really captured the joy and fun of the day. We would definitely recommend Asa to other couples.

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 our planning details were overcome by the reality of a hectic day. A+, would recommend.

Asa photographed our wedding, he was reasonably priced, and he was a major asset on our wedding day. We didn’t hire a planner, so having an experienced photographer like Asa really saved us. He is a total professional, had a positive attitude, and we love our photos. He got all our photos to us in less than a month. I would absolutely recommend him for your wedding.

We were so pleased to have Asa as our wedding photographer. Simply put, if you’re looking for someone who’s easy to work with and committed to helping you achieve the natural photos you want, I can’t recommend him enough. Neither my partner nor I are used to posing for photos, and we wanted everything to look as natural as possible. Asa gave just the right amount of direction during our couple and group shots while also capturing the spontaneous fun of our wedding day. He worked seamlessly with my large (and at times very opinionated 😉) family, and everyone commented on how patient he was. We’ve loved looking through the photos together—it’s the perfect way to relive such a wonderful day. On the planning side, Asa was incredibly flexible, responding promptly to questions, and helping us choose the package that best fit our needs rather than trying to upsell. He even offered advice on which printing services to use for framing our favorite shots

Amazingly talented photographer, committed to getting you the best shot possible, and willing to break the rules and get dirty for the shot. Asa gives you amazing pose prompts and guides you through the whole process. The photographs look fabulous, and he always makes sure you are heard on your ideas!

We hired Asa Photography for our company photos, and he was the epitome of a true professional. He arrived on time, came well-prepared, worked with calm focus throughout the shoot and delivered everything quickly. His process was smooth from start to finish, organized, efficient, and easy to follow. He gave clear direction without being overbearing, and helped our team look polished without feeling stiff. Everyone felt comfortable and the shoot moved quickly without sacrificing quality. His turnaround time was excellent, and the final photos were sharp, clean, and exactly what we needed to represent our team and brand. We’ll definitely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality photography.

We loved working with Asa. He made the process very simple and the quality of the photos was amazing. He took the time to try different locations for our company photos to see what we liked best. He is a professional through and through. We look forward to working with him again.

After researching photographers near DC, we chose Asa Photography and are absolutely thrilled with him and his beautiful pictures! We gifted his services to our son for his surprise proposal. Asa was so friendly, skilled, professional, punctual, and easy to work with. During the planning he took extra time to understand what we wanted and to coordinate the event. Even through rainy weather, he made everything work so smoothly and took beautiful pictures. His communication was exceptional. He actually answers the phone! His care for his customer and his work is rare and much appreciated. We highly recommend Asa and hope to use him again in the future.

About Asa Photography

I take a documentary-style approach, capturing candid moments and heartfelt details that reflect the real emotions and unique story of your wedding day.

What I love most about portrait & wedding photography is its lasting significance—it’s a creative process that not only excites me but also results in something deeply meaningful for others, for years to come.

Every wedding I photograph is approached with a fresh perspective. I use off-camera lighting and radio-controlled flashes to craft lighting that mimics natural sunlight—even in windowless venues. This technique allows me to create flattering, dynamic images in nearly any setting, offering a level of visual depth that many photographers simply can’t match.

My style is rooted in documentary storytelling. I focus on capturing genuine, candid moments throughout your day, along with timeless formal portraits and romantic, creative shots. The result is a complete, heartfelt visual story that will preserve your memories for a lifetime.

I’m always happy to tailor my approach to suit your unique celebration—whether you’re blending cultural traditions, inventing new ones, or planning something completely your own.

It’s a true honor to document every couple’s story, and I’d be thrilled to be part of yours.

Asa Photography is based in Alexandria, Virginia. We strive to exceed expectations while providing excellent customer service.

I had an amazing experience working with By Asa Photography. Asa and his partner did a beautiful job at unobtrusively capturing the entire day of our wedding from start to finish. Asa expertly captured delicate, posed, and candid moments of my wedding that I will cherish forever. Asa was very responsive throughout my planning process and was incredibly instrumental in helping us establish our wedding day timeline. Asa is a gem of a photographer, and I strongly recommend his services for all your photo needs!

We could now be happier with booking Asa as our wedding photographer. We did our engagement shoot with him in Old Town Alexandria and the pictures turned out great! He seems like he genuinely enjoys what he does and we can’t wait to have him photograph our wedding day

If you need professionally done photos in the Alexandria area, I highly recommend Asa. Not only do his photos turn out amazing, but working with him to help with the vision I had for my proposal was incredible.

Loved working with Asa for our wedding and engagement shoot. He knew great locations, was professional and responsive and we felt at ease taking photos with him (even my camera shy, anxious husband!). Loved the number of shots we got for the cost and even the unedited highlights were AMAZING. Great experience and highly recommended!

We can’t recommend Asa highly enough. Asa was a joy to work with from start to finish, and took some amazing photos of our wedding. Several guests commented after our wedding about how great our photographer was (literally “that photographer was great!”). Asa’s “documentary” style photography leads to unique photos and makes it easier for couples to be present during the wedding. Asa provides amazing value, fantastic service, and beautiful photos! We are so grateful we got to work with him!

We we were recommended By Asa from our wedding venue list of vendors. We did our research on him and searched all of the sites that may have had any reviews of him and I will say that we were not disappointed one bit! Asa was professional and precise from start to finish! He me us via virtual chat (since we are still in a pandemic) and wanted to just break the ice and go over the process and packages that we would like for our wedding. Everything was decently priced and was explained in detail by Asa.

On our wedding day we went for the 2nd photographer and I am glad that we did because we wanted to capture the moments for my wife just as much as the moments of myself leading up to the ceremony. We had plenty of shots to choose from and on top of that Asa created a photo album for us with selected shots that just made you feel like you were in a movie! The pics were just so crisp and the resolution of the pictures were awesome. My wife was very please with the results and we will definitely use Asa for future events! I just want to say that Asa was an AMAZING photographer for my wedding and provided great pictures and shots for us to remember the big day.
