MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Real Experience. Real Alexandria.
I’m Asa — a Northern Virginia wedding photographer based in the DMV. Over the past decade, I’ve built relationships with couples and venues across Alexandria, Arlington, and Washington, DC
Micro weddings create space for more meaningful photography focused on emotion, connection, and personal details. Their smaller scale allows me to tell your story in a more intimate and authentic way.
A Relaxed, Documentary - Style Approach
Whether you’re planning a private Old Town Alexandria wedding or a small garden ceremony with family, I bring the same care and attention to every celebration I photograph.
Local Knowledge Matters
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.

Why Couples Are Choosing Micro Wedding Photography
More Meaningful Moments
Every part of the day feels more intentional — from the ceremony to the candid reactions of close family and friends.
More Budget Flexibility
Allows couples to prioritize what matters most — photography, venue, food, and overall experience.
More Venue Options
Venues open up that simply aren't available for larger celebrations — private gardens, historic mansions, boutique restaurants, and intimate chapels.
More Time Together
Without the pressure of a large-scale timeline, couples can stay present and fully experience their day.
More Photography Coverage
With fewer guests to coordinate, I can focus more on storytelling, emotion, and candid moments throughout your day.
More Personalization
Every element of a micro wedding reflects you as a couple — from the florals to the setting — creating a deeply personal experience that shows in every photograph

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.
