Owner
My approach is a blend of documentary and fine art, with a dreamy aesthetic and an unobtrusive, editorial eye. My favorite photographs are often unscripted. I strive to create images that are honest and beautiful. I pursued my passion for photography and film at Temple University and founded ASYA Photography in 2008. Documenting the stories and the love between couples gives me so much inspiration, fulfillment and joy. Photographs hold a sense of magic and nostalgia: they help preserve the memories we share with our families and loved ones for generations. It’s an honor to witness the joining of two lives together surrounded by so much beauty, family and love.

Booking with Asya Photography was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! Asya was booked for our wedding day, but directed us to her associate, Grac...
e Winter, who was fantastic!
I was a type-A spreadsheet bride and Grace never once judged me or lost patience. She was so professional and helpful, even with factors unrelated to photos (like day-of schedules). She was knowledgeable about the best photo locations in the city and didn’t miss a single photo on our shot list. She even proactively handled the logistics of the city permits. Weddings are notoriously stressful and we have a huge family with strong personalities. I’ve never seen someone able to so seamlessly (and politely) command the attention of such a large group. We got all of our family pictures done in less than 30 minutes!
We also had a second photographer, Hieu Pham, who kept the positive vibes all day long! He photographed so many candids of our guests that beautifully complimented the traditional wedding photos we took. He was on the dance floor making people laugh and capturing moments from our day that we weren’t able to see. After our wedding, our family and friends commented on how Grace & Hieu blended in so well, they didn’t feel intrusive. Most of our guests didn’t realize how many photos they were in until we sent our thank you cards with their photos (which they LOVED).
The personalities of your wedding photographers are just as important as their photography skills - Grace & Hieu have the full package! They are both amazing people who are extremely talented! I’m honestly just looking for another professional photo opp to hang out with them again.

The best photography team ever! From the very beginning, we felt so well taken care of by Asya and her team. Jen was our lead photographer for both my bridal shower and our July 20...
25 wedding, and she quickly became more than just a photographer, she truly felt like part of the family.
Our wedding day was made so incredible because of Jen, and we can’t thank her and the whole Asya Photography team enough. The photos are absolutely stunning—so beautiful in fact, that I’m struggling to even pick my favorites because there are just so many!
We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Asya Photography to any couple looking for not only gorgeous photos but also a team that genuinely cares and goes above and beyond.
Any questions?

erfect balance of professional, fun, and down-to-earth—making us feel completely at ease from start to finish.
Grace is not only an exceptional photographer but also an incredible human. She truly felt like a member of the wedding party—blending in so naturally and capturing every moment with care and creativity. We were constantly impressed by her presence and eye for detail.
Melissa was equally amazing—so calm, cool, and full of fresh, creative ideas. She had a fantastic way of making even quiet moments feel cinematic. Some of our favorite photos are the ones she captured of just the two of us in the in-between moments.
Both Grace and Melissa brought such artistry, warmth, and joy to the day. Honestly, I want to get married again just to work with them again—they were that good!

I wanted Romantic, Soft, and Dreamy, and knew I had found the right team, because they delivered. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Thank you so much Asya, Zach, and team!

responsive in the beginning when she first talked to us, and we ended working with Chloe, who was the best! Prior to the wedding day, she talked to us about our wedding and what pictures we really wanted. She listened to every request we had and made sure to take all the pictures we wanted. Chloe (and Georgi) were so cool and calm during the day which made posing for certain pictures less awkward (I am not one to pose really), but all turned out so natural. They spent literally all day with us and it was such a joy to work with them. I cannot convey through the review how happy the pictures turned out. The pictures came out BEAUTIFUL and I am obsessed with them. All my guests really were impressed with them and loved how well the pictures came out as well. I 100% recommend using them.

It felt so natural to have them there and they never felt imposing and allowed us to take in every moment with each other and our family and friends, while capturing such beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to them all for their work that will allow our to look back on our favorite day whenever we want.

Our gallery exceeded all of our expectations and we truly cherish each and every photo, as well as our wedding video. Our goal was to have a photographer + videographer who could capture the day and tell the story, and Asya Photography absolutely did that. I've recommended them to friends who are getting married, and would 1000% recommend them to anyone in the future. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and everything else did not go unnoticed.

We felt very relaxed while taking photos (which is really saying something for 2 people who are not used to being photographed so much!). Even more, the photos from our wedding came out absolutely beautifully. They were everything we dreamed of: natural, not overly posed or edited, and truly captured the joy of our big day. We've received countless compliments on the quality of them as we've shared them with friends and family. Finally, we were so happy we added the video package to our services! It is so special to have scenes from our day via video and we know we'll treasure this for years to come. Thank you, Asya & your team! We are very appreciative.

Of all the wedding decisions I had to make, working with Asya Photography and her team was the easiest and most rewarding. I discovered Asya Photography through Instagram. From the...
beginning, she made the process seamless and stress-free. Asya worked with me on balancing budget with my “dream” scenario. She was patient with payment and her communication throughout this process was unparalleled. Cut to the wedding day: Chloe, Luke and Melissa served as a triple threat – taking photos and video without being intrusive, laughing with me when things felt chaotic, they even stayed later than we agreed because my father decided to give the longest speech in the history of weddings. When I received the photos; however, I was flabbergasted. Even though I knew they would do great work, the end result far exceeded my expectations. There are no words to describe this team’s attention to detail and ability to capture “the moment.” While I FELT my day was magical, their photos showed me the same, just from a different perspective. I could never thank Asya and team enough for not treating this like a turn-key project and for their genuine consideration and care. Thank you, forever.

Hiring Asya of Asya Photography was one of, if not the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! Her portfolio speaks for itself, but the service level is also im...
peccable. Asya was extremely flexible from the start - we needed to do our engagement photoshoot immediately after our we contacted her due to my husband's schedule and she found a way to fit us in. She has a very organized process set up, and we spoke about a month out from the wedding to ensure she knew all the shots we wanted, or anything unique that we wanted captured. Day of she and her second shooter Melissa were extremely professional and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, which showed in the photos. She delivered the gallery within the 5-6 weeks that was stated in the contract (which I understand is quicker than industry standards), and even went above and beyond to give us a few photos prior to that so that my father could bring some prints to my grandmother in Japan who could not join us on our big day. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Asya. I highly recommend her services!

The engagement shoot pictures came out SO well that we used them for our save-the-date! From there, Asya stayed in communication with us and had us fill out a questionnaire, making sure she knew all the groups we wanted for our wedding. She also asked us questions about our wedding in general (music, florals, ceremony style, etc). She was so thoughtful about everything!!!!! During the wedding, Asya and her crew did an incredible job directing our bridal party and family, and also getting the most amazing shots and video!!!!!!! We already got an enlarged photo framed for our home, we can’t wait for our wedding album, and THE VIDEO IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! Every time I watch it I cry happy happy tears!

With last minute timeline changes due to the winter storm, they were so professional and made quick changes as needed to make sure we got both great pictures outside and inside as well. I cannot say enough great things about them! They also worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, Styledbride, and Tanti from Papertini. The 9 minute video that the videographer created was spot on and he even added in our first dance song to the highlight video as background music. Thank you!!!

moments of your day, stop searching - hire Asya! I had Jen and her team - and was blown away! I consider Jen the hero of my wedding day. We worked with Jen for our engagement and wedding shoot. My husband and I are not big photo shoot people, but Jen made us comfortable and took the time to get to know us to make every session perfect. Jen went above and beyond taking photos, but was there for me every step of the day of the wedding. Just a few examples: I had 2 wardrobe malfunctions, my organist was late, and had a minor hair fix need - Jen was there for every minute with a sewing kit, pins, and adjusting timeless making the day stress-free and perfect. I did not hire a wedding planner - but Jen worked incredibly close with my venue (the Lucy by Cescaphe) and I felt like I had nothing to worry about. Every single moment I wanted was captured in an epic way. She even had better ideas than I did. Asya company takes the time ahead of your day to gather pertinent information about your family, bridal party, and day to create the perfect timeline, and photo planning and does not disappoint. Even during the times of Covid and having to reschedule our wedding, Asya was accommodating - and there for us every step of the way. They are responsive, and make the planning process seamless. There are other photographers - but speaking to Jen, if you want someone that will move you along, and push for what you want - go with her. I needed someone to push my family because they are slow, like to take their own pictures and don't understand timelines. Jen was perfect. I also used Asya for video and had Luke. He was also amazing, not pushy, and captured the moments perfect. I HIGHY RECOMMEND this company!!!!!!!!

We also used Luke as our videographer and he made the perfect highlight video for our day. They returned our photos as quickly as they said they would, and the editing is so natural and beautiful. We will be using Asya for any future photo needs!!!

in an efficient manner. We have hundreds of favorites from our wedding that we love reviewing daily. Luke, the videographer she works with, made an amazing video and highlight reel from our socially distant wedding that we were proud to share with our friends and family who could not attend.
Most importantly, however, Asya is a wonderful person who was the most understanding when we had to postpone our wedding and went out of her way to make sure we could have beautiful photos and video. When we rescheduled our wedding multiple times due to coronavirus, she always said it wouldn't be a problem and was willing to work with us. She made us feel at ease when we were stressed.
We most highly recommend Asya. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

ty and at our venue, the photo/video team even braved the snow for us so that we could get some amazing photos! Everyone on the team was so great to work with, they were friendly, fun, and polite to our friends and family. Grace gives great direction to make sure she gets the right shots, and she doesn't rush through anything. They are so committed to getting you the best and most beautiful wedding day photos, and I can't recommend them enough!! They are the best.

Working with them was so easy and Grace was amazing! From the minute she got to my parents house the day of, she was relaxed and made the whole day go so well, she was so organized...
and when it was time for family pictures she got everyone where they needed to be (which isn’t an easy task with my family!) and got every shot I wanted. A fall wedding is tough with the sun setting so quickly, but Grace managed to get every beautiful picture with the sunlight! I got my pictures the other day and am OBSESSED, I never thought pictures could turn out so well until I saw these! Grace managed to get every angle, look and memory from our wedding day and put it in an album! I could not imagine a better wedding photographer!

We are so happy we were able to book Asya Photography, we were particularly excited about working with Grace and everything turned out so well. The team is very professional and we...
re easy to communicate with. They made sure to secure the locations (in public parks) that we wanted to have our photos. We also had the pleasure of working with Grace for our engagement shoot and the photos came out better than we could hav ever hoped for. She has a wonderful eye for finding cool shots and also knew how to get us into comfortable positions for nice photos, whether it be cracking a joke, giving us minor directions, or just letting us be in our natural state. On the wedding day, every photographer and videographer was professional and pleasant to be around. They were low-key while also making sure they got the shots that they wanted to. This was important because we spent a lot of time with them on our wedding day, so it would have been a bummer if they weren't so fun to be around. All in all, it was a wonderful experience working with Asya Photographer and we're so grateful for all they did.

If you’re getting married within range of Asya Photography’s services you NEED to use them! We did quite a bit of research on photographers for our wedding – including nearly being...
scammed by someone we found on a wedding website. Asya from the get go was inviting and open to our requests and invited us for an initial consultation at her one of a kind meeting space in Center City Philadelphia. We met with Asya and our requested photographer, Sam, at their space a few months before the wedding and immediately felt so comfortable with them. It felt like they were evaluating us not on what the wedding was going to be like or the budget but more our energy and love for each other. Asya and Sam seemed super excited to work with us based off of this and that excitement carried into our actual wedding day. Sam and the associate photographer that joined her, Hieu, couldn’t have taken better care of us on the day of our wedding. Sam went with the ladies and Hieu came with the boys for the day of. In speaking with the women of the wedding, Sam took such great care of them capturing so much love and joy in her photos. Hieu was equally awesome with the boys and spent much of the time not only helping us with getting our tuxes on but also capturing beautiful candid moments. The photos they captured in our opinion are second to none! During our first look, pre ceremony, ceremony and reception they captured so many amazing images of our friends and family’s love. The bridal party and guests all felt extremely comfortable with them and they were not intrusive by any means. They allowed us to be natural during the photo shoots and were simply amazing. Finally, the prints and memory stick of our wedding photos were provided to us in a beautifully presented Asya Photography box which included some delicious treats and a handwritten note from Sam. All in all Asya Photography provided a 10 out of 10 service for our day and we’re so happy we found them to work with us. Couldn’t recommend them more!!

From the moment we met with Grace we knew we wanted her to be our photographer.
She is very approachable, professional, flexible and not to mention ridiculously talented. She also ...
has a calmness about her that is so reassuring on what could be a stressful day. Working with Grace and Sam was such a pleasure. We let them take charge and they did not disappoint! They were so unobtrusive yet captured so many great moments throughout the day/night.
We just received our photos and we absolutely love them! I couldn’t have imagined more beautiful pictures. It was such a great experience from beginning to end and I can't recommend Asya Photography enough!

Absolutely the best! Working with Asya Photography was one of the best decisions we made in all of our wedding planning. Sam and Zach shot our wedding day, and working with them co...
uld not have been more seamless and fun! They paired our vision for the photos with their own expertise, and the final product was nothing short of amazing. We received access to our online photo gallery promptly and going through the photos was like reliving our day all over again. The photos are SO beautiful, and we will treasure them forever. I would highly, highly recommend Asya Photography for couples looking to have an amazing day and hundreds of fabulous photos to remember it by.

Asya is truly a gem. We did engagement photos, videography, and wedding photos with her and it worked out beautifully. Her work is stunning, and her presence at the wedding/ engage...
ment photos is positive and calming. Both my husband and I hate having our photos taken, and she made us feel so comfortable, even during the most nervous (about to walk down the aisle) and private (reading each other's letters) moments. I can't thank her enough for capturing our day.
