    Incredible Photos!

    Astrid and her team are the best. She is incredible at putting you at ease while taking beautiful photographs and her team know exactly how to blend into the background at a wedding but still capture the best moments. I highly recommend her and her team!

    Simply the best!!

    Run- do not walk- to work with Astrid and her amazing team!!! My husband, our families and I will be forever grateful for hiring Astrid to be a part of our Wedding Vendor Team. We knew from the first conversation we had with Astrid that there was no one better to photograph and capture all of our special moments surrounding our Wedding. Astrid has such a unique ability to put people at ease behind the camera to deliver iconic, emotion filled and treasured albums. Her eye for detail, infectious enthusiasm and flexible nature made spending the majority of our Wedding Weekend with her nothing short of a privilege. We cannot recommend or sing the praises of Astrid Photography more highly- they are simply the best!

    Amazing photos and relaxed, natural photographer!

    We loved working with Astrid on our wedding day! Our photos turned out so beautifully!! She made me feel so comfortable and natural while taking our portrait photos and she was able to capture SO many amazing candid moments from our ceremony and reception, while completely blending in. So much so that while looking through the pictures from our Hora dance, my husband commented "she was in the middle? How did she not get trampled!" She was also very flexible to work with! We chose not to do an engagement photo session but wanted to meet with her before our bid day - so she came to our rehearsal dinner instead! I would absolutely recommend her and can't wait to work with her again at my sister in-law's wedding next year!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Kelsey thank you so much for the sweet review! Your wedding day at USIP was truly one for the books! Your entire family was so welcoming, and I only wish we could do it all over again! :)

    We LOVE Astrid!

    Astrid was not only an amazing photographer for our wedding day, but also a great friend throughout the process. Her photos caught every bit of excitement and emotion that I was feeling that day, and I get to relive it by looking at them. I am so glad we found her!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Thank you so so much for this review! It was such a wonderful wedding day and I am so glad that you are in love with your photos. :)

    Best decision we made!

    Let me first start off by saying Astrid is an incredible photographer you can just tell from the moment you enter her website! When I first saw her website I was blown away. I had talked to a couple of other photographers before but wasn't impressed yet. Everything changed when I talked to Astrid. She picked her phone up immediately when I called, which is something I was surprised and excited about that.

    From the moment we spoke something just clicked. She was a type A gal like me. That night I had a written up contract already waiting for me when I got home. I was both surprised and impressed was once again. She was in a conference I believe in California for work, yet still had the time to send me a contract that day, incredible again!

    I met Astrid and once again was blown away by how professional she was and also how much she put my mother at ease.

    The day of the wedding she showed up exactly on time with two assistance which was very exciting! She had so many wonderful suggestions. I will say the thing about her that really shined to me was how personal she was to my husband.

    My husband is a very introverted type of person who doesn't like his picture taken. Astrid put him at ease and he actually enjoyed getting his picture taken! I have been with my husband for 8 years and have never seen him so relaxed before. I was shocked and so happy that she was able to do this.

    We have only gotten our sneak previews so far, which we got in less than 10 days! The pictures were so beautifut. Words don't do them justice. Once I get the rest I will post them on wedding wire.

    If you don't hire Astrid you are making a huge mistake.

    Don't look somewhere else.

    Just hire her you won't regret it.

    Amazing service and photography

    Astrid was so easy to work with. She and her assistant worked seamlessly together and were able to capture the moments my daughter and her fiancé wanted at their wedding. We took 100's of photos and engaged for 10 hours. Never once did they let down during the day and we are so happy with the sneak peek we have seen so far. Excellent work!!!!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Thank you so so much for that sweet review, Mary Ann! It was such a wonderful fall wedding day and I am so happy everyone enjoyed the previews!! xo

    Timeless Photos

    My now-husband and I knew from the moment we started planning our wedding that, other than the venue, nothing was more important to us than finding the right photographer. We narrowed it down to a list of three (thanks Instagram!) and decided to reach out to Astrid first because we’d recently had an absolutely delicious cocktail of that name and took it as a sign. And fate it was. From the first moment we started to correspond with Astrid, to our initial meeting, to the wedding day itself, we knew we were in the very best hands. She is responsive, professional, unassuming but confident in her skills and experience, kind, and above all, talented. Our photos are absolutely stunning and capture the joy we felt on our wedding day perfectly. Astrid and her team also have the ability to coax beautiful photos from all settings. Our “getting ready” photos are just as evocative as the riotous photos of the dance floor. (And both of my attendants are very camera shy but she managed to get so many unselfconscious photos of them!) Even the staged shots and portraits have a luminous and dynamic quality that elevate them beyond anything I could have expected. In a nutshell, if you are looking for a photographer who will deliver timely, gorgeous photos and do so with warmth and style, Astrid is likely the perfect photographer.

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Vanessa, your review is too kind! Thank you so much for your trust no the most important day of your life.... and most of all having an amazing time on your wedding day which made my job
    so easy! ;)

    Spring wedding

    working with Astrid was a real pleasure, she made everything day of very easy and quick so we had more time to enjoy the guests and the wedding. She captured everything I wanted and did a great job of capturing the action shots on the dance floor and our amazing friends. She was very flexible and had a calm demeanor which really helped make the day a relaxing time. Very happy overall!

    We loved working with Astrid!

    We got married in Fall of 2017, and working with Astrid was one of the highlights of our wedding! Not only are her photos gorgeous, but her warm and calm demeanor helped everything run smoothly. The photography never felt intrusive, but when we saw our pictures we amazed to see how many special moments she was able to capture.
    There was great communication, and she worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and other vendors. We also appreciated her help ans expertise in putting together our wedding album (part of our package.) Astrid was fantastic, and I can't imagine our wedding without her beautiful work!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kristen! That is so sweet and I absolutely loved your wedding day. You guys were the best...so much love to you and your family!

    Astrid did our wedding last month and we just got the pictures. They are beautiful and captured our day better than we ever expected! She did a great job the day of and we are thrilled with all of the pictures we just received. She was referred by Anne Kelley (our day of coordinator - who I also recommend) and did an excellent job!!

    Photographer for all special occasions!

    We met Astrid in the summer of 2016 when we were looking for a wedding photographer. We decided to start with the engagement session and it was incredible. She had a fun idea to have us in a canoe on the Potomac and the pictures were incredible!
    She photographed our wedding in November of 2016 and again the pictures were stunning! She was very easy to work with, patient and captured some very special moments.
    Because we loved her and her photos so much, when our son was born there was no question who would take the first photos of our family. The shots of our son are absolutely precious and we just love them so much.
    We will absolutely use Astrid for all the important family events that we want to capture!
    Our friends loved our photos so much that they also had Astrid photograph their wedding as well!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Courtney,

    Thank you so much for the sweetest review! I absolutely have LOVED watching your family grow. You two are truly the best! I hope to continue to document all the special milestones! :) XO

    After looking at the websites and online photos of multiple photographers I decided to go with Astrid. From the first emails and meetings she was very down to earth and easy to work with. She did our engagement photos which turned out great. Prior to the wedding I met with her to go through the day and what photos we wanted to capture. The day with her was very seamless and never seemed awkward. We received our wedding photos about a month after the wedding which I thought was great. She put together an initial preview for the album and was very accommodating to some of the changes we wanted to make. The final copies of the albums came a few weeks ago and I could not be happier! She also gives you a USB drive with all the edited digital images which is great to make additional prints. Would highly recommend her!

    Astrid is such a sweet and beautiful person to work with. From our first meeting at our engagement to our wedding, she paid such personal care to us as a couple. I love photographers like Astrid-- you can't see them except through their lenses. She is so humble and unassuming as a person, you would never guess how talented she is as a professional. We chose her because her photos radiates warmth...but we were so pleasantly surprised that she radiates just as much as her photos.

    When choosing a photographer, it's really important to choose someone who makes you feel great as a couple...makes you both feel comfortable and helps you just to be yourselves. Let's just say my fiance and I danced and sung during our engagement shoot and hardly ever noticed her during our wedding. Never interfering...always just capturing the moments as they are.

    Astrid is a high-end photographer, an investment, but why spend so much time and energy on a wedding and not have any memory of it? Also, Astrid is not highly edited. You won't get overly stylized and cropped photos like you would see in Vogue or NatGeo Weddings. Her style is more photojournalism-- capturing real moments. I would say she captures the warmth and light of love really well. I really recommend her to couples who want true and honest, warmth-radiating photos of their special day.

    We just got our pictures back from Astrid and they are INCREDIBLE! I was actually a little bit nervous because I hardly saw her at all during the day I thought there was no way that she could have captured everything she did but WOW she totally blew me away with how she caught all the details and the emotion of the day -- and all without being totally intrusive, in-your-face like I have seen at other weddings. She is also super super sweet and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. We had a tight timetable for photographs during the cocktail hour since we did a receiving line but she managed to get all the posed shots we needed and we even had a little time leftover. It took about 6 weeks to get our pictures back (I've heard of much worse!!!) and she did say that she had computer problems after the wedding and normally gets them back in a month. Cannot recommend her enough!!

    Astrid is an absolute hidden GEM of a wedding photographer. She couldn't have been more accommodating to our needs or more professional. Her photos are wonderfully charming and my husband and I couldn't have been happier with her work and her presence during our day.

    Astrid was amazing to work with! She kept me on my schedule (I wanted to get as many pictures done beforehand as possible), but also brought creativity and an ease to our wedding day! I can't wait to see the pictures, I am sure they are going to be phenomenal!

    I HEART ASTRID! We are excitedly waiting for the arrival of our wedding photos, but if they are near as beautiful as the engagement photos we will be lucky. The great thing about Astrid, besides her beautiful work is how great she has been to work with. When I had questions for her, and concerns about costs early on, she helped me create a package that was in my budget and was very responsive. She replied to an email I sent her, within three hours- while she was in a different country. A big thing was, she put my husband at ease- who usually hates being photographed, and that to me was the best part about Astrid, she makes everyone feel comfortable, and lets natural moments happen, and captures them without you even noticing. I am so excited to see the final product, but I have no doubt that she will create beautiful memories of our wedding.

    Amazing Photographer and team!

    Astrid is absolutely wonderful to work with. Her warm personality makes you feel like a close friend from day 1. She is thoughtful and helpful throughout the process and especially on the day of. She happily went along with any "out of the box" photo ideas and tried to make them happen for us. I could not give Astrid and her team any higher praise. They were exceptional to work with!

    Astrid Photography's reply:

    Thank you Liliana! That means so much and is very sweet to hear. Our couples truly feel like friends and we are so glad we got to celebrate you and Brian! xo

    Astrid was amazing from the get-go. We spent several weeks exploring photographers; we came across Astrid when another photographer was quite simply too expensive so she kindly pointed us in her direction... What an amazing recommendation!!!

    We knew as soon as we seen her website that she was our perfect choice; we swooned at every picture on her blog. In truth, every other photographer we considered was just ok compared with Astrid.

    From the engagement shoot to the wedding day itself, Astrid was spectacular. She made us feel totally at ease and we are still in awe at her fabulous pictures! She was totally professional yet unbelievably friendly. We felt as though Astrid completely understood us from the beginning and by the end of our experience we really felt as though we had found a friend!

    So much so in fact that we have booked her for our wedding celebration part 2 at home in England!!!

    Thank you so much for everything Astrid. We are so happy you are joining us in England and we cannot wait to see your truly fabulous pictures next spring!

    Astrid is fantastic. She was personable, willing to work with us on details that were important to us, and very professional during the wedding itself. I actually had guests compliment me on how great she was to be around! Of course, all of this is gravy because the photos were what we really cared about, and they were fantastic. Breathtaking. Yes, it's not cheap (good photography is never going to be, unless you have an inside connection), but it is Worth. Every. Penny. Seriously--if you are reading this and you haven't booked Astrid yet, stop reading and call/email her! You won't regret it.

    My pictures are stunning and beautiful!!!! Out of this world! Astrid is the most talented photographer I have ever met. If you don't get Astrid, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! I feel so lucky she was still available for my wedding day. She is extremely talented!! Worth every penny! For the DMV area her prices are not bad. For the value you are getting, you will be getting a deal! The pictures arrived earlier than expected. Which makes it even better.


    My favorite things from my wedding was my Wedding Planner, the decoration, details, my pictures and my photographer! A lot of brides wish they could say the last 2.
