shots and more without overly dominating the wedding. I highly recommended him!

making changes to our contract. He was also a great resource for recommending places in the area for outdoor photos. He did a wonderful job capturing our small ceremony this year and we’re looking forward to having him as our photographer for our reception in 2022.

schedule, and took some great shots! We are looking forward to working with him for our future reception. We recommend By Asa Photography for anyone looking for a professional wedding photographer.

ith! Very professional and knowledgeable, he made my fiancé and I feel at ease, provided unique places to photograph that we would not have thought of, and we did not feel rushed at all. He is very prompt with answering our questions and very diligent with providing us with our proofs, which was so difficult to narrow down our favorites as they all were beautiful! We are very excited to work with Asa again for our wedding day coverage in April 2022, highly recommend his work to anyone! Thank you so much!

s very understanding of the situation and helped brainstorm ways to capture "normal" pictures (e.g. of family, friends, getting ready) alongside COVID restrictions. Throughout our wedding day, Asa and his second photographer, Kyle, were unobtrusive yet managed to capture every essence of the day perfectly. The resulting 1000+ photos were delivered very promptly after the event. Enormous thanks to Asa and company, we highly recommend them!

lans for where we wanted photos & Asa was wonderful about finding great locations. After the wedding we got our pictures back very quickly. We are so happy we chose By Asa to capture our day!

digitals to our 1000+ photos from the day. He was also flexible, friendly, and laid back - a great vibe to have on our big day. It was clear it wasn't his first rodeo - he had lots of ideas for fun shots, was quick to set up equipment, and had things timed out well. We're so happy we found him and will definitely go straight to him for any other milestones we want captured! Thank you, Asa!

DC metro area, and immediately made us comfortable during our engagement photo session at the National Cathedral and at the Kennedy Center. He was very laid back and had great ideas, but was also able to capture the in between moments we were looking for. On the actual wedding day, we had a great time having him there as we got ready, and he was able to get all the shots we wanted for the formal photos, and we still had time to attend the cocktail hour! For our reception he went the extra mile to ensure we had pictures of everyone having a great time, and was able to capture great moments at all angles. His efficiency and ability to seek out great photo opportunities made our pictures ones that we will look back on forever. I highly recommend Asa for any and all photo opportunities you may have!

ts. We spoke with Asa beforehand and he really listened to the things that were important to us and took the brief to heart. So when we said we loved the architecture of the venue he really worked to involve that in our couple and wedding party shots. And when we said candids of our guests were more important to us - he absolutely delivered! We are also so glad we went for the package with the second photographer as it meant extra coverage of the event and the guests and the two photography styles were very similar. Asa then took the time to format his select shots (which really are some of our favorites!) and has been very open and helpful after the event in formatting any other shots we want blown up to print for the album. Altogether it was a wonderful experience working with him and we couldn't be more pleased with the photos!

nd capture genuine moments. We received the photos for review soon after the shoot and had our beautiful final images in hand in under 2 weeks time. We would highly recommend Asa and can’t wait to have him capture our special day!

n and decided to book. Asa was very responsive working with our Coordinator to make sure we had all the coverage we were looking for. On the day of the wedding Asa and his second photographer (Kyle I think) arrive on time and ready to capture the day. This may sound silly, but I've been to dozens of weddings where the photographers are kind of under dressed... I know they are working and they aren't guests, but I was pleasantly surprised that he arrived in a suit and blended in seamlessly to the formal, black-tie optional wedding. Asa made sure he knew all the important people on the day of the wedding, was like my shadow the entire time capturing every hug and kiss. Since it rained, he was flexible and we made a last minute call to change our photo location which worked out perfectly. Then on the way back to our reception venue, we happened to drive by the spot where we got engaged a year previously, and without skipping a beat Asa jumped out of the car and we took a few more photos at that spot. His photos turned out wonderfully, and everyone has given me complements on them. We literally have THOUSANDS of photos, and every time I see them it's like reliving the day. My suggestions to others who (like I) have never done this before is to make a very clear list of everyone you want a photo with on that day. Give it to someone who knows all the people and make it their job to wrangle everyone. Your head will be spinning that day, so make sure someone is in charge of that. Also keep in mind that your photographer will track you.. if you plan on being on the dance floor all night, you photos will be of the dance floor. If you want pictures of those who aren't dancing, make sure to ask your photographer to take those pictures also. Asa was very responsive in taking impromptu shots with anyone we pulled in front of him. As for turn around, Asa's timing was exceptional. My friends were shocked to see photos from Asa popping up on Instagram just a day or two after the wedding. A few weeks later (I can't remember exactly) we received all the photos on USB in the mail.

does best. Also, his price was very reasonable for us. I highly recommend you hire Asa for your wedding and/or your professional events. Thank you for the great work, Asa! -Nick and Kira

I would definitely recommend him.

or what we could expect when we arrived. Not knowing the area was nerve wracking but knowing Asa's experience and high recommendation put our minds at ease. On the day of the wedding he came to our hotel and captured all the small moments of getting ready! Little moments I did not even know he was capturing that when we received our photos later it was so special to see :) I am truly thankful for this. When we arrived at the wedding site, he helped coordinate our group pictures easily and served as a guide to the area for us out of towners! After the ceremony he took my new hubby and I around the National Mall and took some of the most beautiful photos I could have ever imagined. We got to do some mini sight seeing as a new couple and this was a very special time for us. Asa was professional and so friendly and kind throughout the process, it was like having another family member with you we felt so comfortable with him! Our nearly two year old daughter was difficult to capture and he did whatever ideas we could all come up with to capture the three of us together, and I thought it was a lost cause but when we received the photos of us they were perfect! The timely photos we received were amazing I was just so happy with them! Having Asa capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made when planning our destination wedding! Thank you so very much! :)

e and still I got ASA! He is truly a gem. His aura is both welcoming and calming which is great on the big day. Thank you so much and I hope to work with you again.

extremely easy to work with and professional, and his co-photographer that he found was also fantastic! We got our photos back afterwards in record time and are currently enjoying remembering the special day that whizzed by. Definitely recommend.

f each moment in the most unique way. The photos he has taken for us so far are beautiful and we cannot wait to see our wedding photos. I highly recommend Asa for your photography needs. He is wonderful to work with.

actual wedding day, he was actually early and fully prepared. He had photo posing and lighting directions that were extremely helpful. He also had wedding day advice like how to clip in my veil! Most importantly, he was extremely patient with my crazy family and was very flexible with on the fly changes. I could not have been happier with our photographer. Thank you Asa!

k at his portfolios, which illustrated exactly how talented he is. I'll also note that as a same-sex couple, it's really comforting to talk to a vendor and know that we're immediately accepted and treated like any other couple. After we officially hired him, Asa continued to be just as kind and accommodating throughout the year leading up to the wedding day, and made sure to prompt us with things that needed doing (payment, list of groupings, etc.), because we obviously had a lot going on and would have forgotten. On the day of the wedding, Asa arrived early and ready to go. He asked both me and my at-the-time-fiancée if there was anything we wanted him to photograph ahead of time, before he started on his own. We loved that. Asa made a huge impact on everyone at the wedding - EVERYONE loved him. 8 months later, people STILL talk to us about our "awesome ninja photographer." Yes, ninja photographer. Asa got over 2,000 shots (way more than he initially quoted us at, which we were thrilled about) - and he did so while hardly being seen. He got some really amazing moments, both candid and otherwise, before the wedding, during the ceremony, and at the reception. We booked him for 8 hours so he could photograph us both getting ready, get the entirety of the ceremony, and have him there until just after the cake was cut. Asa got right to it during the dreaded posed pictures - you know, when you have to wrangle both your families and friends and keep everyone on track so you don't waste time. He got through the pictures in great timing, and then when it was time for portraits of my wife and me, he literally ran around, in his suit, with all of his camera gear, through fields of brush, to get the absolute perfect shots. And now that we have the pictures, I can confirm that it was well worth it, because they are stunning. Right at the end of his time, Asa came up to me and my new wife to let us know he was wrapping up and if there were any final shots he wanted us to get, which we actually did. He made himself available to us throughout the day and evening, and we could not possibly be more thrilled with our decision to go with Asa. A couple weeks after the wedding, Asa gave us a sneak preview of some of his favorite shots, and they were breathtaking. A few weeks after that, he sent us a flash drive with well over 2,000 photos - and he edited more than he said he would, which was lovely. Now, 8 months later, my wife and I became homeowners for the first time. We're making a collage of photo frames, and realized the 4x6 sizing of our wedding pictures weren't going to work. We reached out to Asa and he answered immediately saying that he'd reformat them for us, no problem. He's reliable, he's professional, he's remarkably talented, and he's so, so kind. If you want your wedding captured in the best way possible, I urge you to go with Asa. We'll certainly be coming back to him in the future, and will refer everyone we know to him.

. Moreover, he had processed our photos before we even returned from our honeymoon, and they were absolutely gorgeous! He was speedy without sacrificing quality in the least. He went above and beyond what we had initially agreed upon, advanced processing 56 photos instead of 20, and the flash drive with the photos came in a beautifully wrapped gift box, which was a nice touch. He clearly loves what he does, as evidenced by the care, quality, and efficacy of his work and his calm but contagious joy on the wedding day itself! Highly recommended!

d him to anyone!

creative expert with experience in lighting, I'd recommend Asa!

how dedicated he was to getting the perfect shot-- he scrambled through the forest at our outdoor wedding just to make sure he wasn't in the video as my mom and I walked down the aisle. We highly recommend him!
