Elyse S. Married on 05/21/2022Great Experience Working with Asa!
My husband and I had a great experience working with Asa! He was one of the recommended vendors at our wedding reception venue, Rock Creek Mansion. Asa was always easy to work with, very responsive and helpful when we had questions, and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out! We love so many of the formal photos he took of us and our family, and he took great candid shots throughout the night, especially on the dance floor. We are impressed and grateful for his photos that captured so many moments on this special night for us and our loved ones. We definitely recommend Asa! -

Fantastic Wedding Photographer
We can't recommend Asa highly enough. Asa was a joy to work with from start to finish, and he took 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! -

Christine Married on 04/30/2022Asa was lovely to work with
My mother helped pick out Asa because he was one of the WeddingWire best of photographers for several years in a row. He was kind and clear about how he works and was helpful and polite through my wedding day. I would have liked a little more direction for posing because I don't really know what to do with my hands while taking a picture, but my photos turned out lovey nonetheless. -

Meghan R. Married on 01/16/2022Go with Asa, you won't be sorry
I can’t recommend Asa enough! He was our photographer for both my now-husband’s and my engagement and wedding photography. I had booked Asa for the engagement shoot first as kind of a ‘trial’ because my husband, god love him, is the most awkward person possible in front of a camera, and I wanted to make sure he had a good rapport with our photographer before we booked said photographer for our wedding photos. In my family, wedding photos are a BIG DEAL—they’re often the only representation we have of our ancestors from three, four generations past, and they’re in absolutely everyone’s living rooms .Suffice it to say wedding photos are very important to my family, and very important to me. I wasn’t taking chances with this.
Enter Asa. This man is the most transparent, collegial, affable professional I could have hoped to come across. He immediately established a rapport with us, got us comfortable in front of the camera, and was up for anything—in the span of an hour, he got us from awkwardly posing and clearly uncomfortable to genuinely laughing, climbing up on bridges, and even posing for a dip kiss off the Exorcist steps. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had so much fun, and it clearly shows in our engagement photos, so we booked Asa for our wedding as well.
Asa arrived early to the hotel room where I was getting ready with my (anxious) mom and sister and somehow managed to keep us all on schedule, calm my mother down, make small talk with my dad and brothers, and take beautiful pictures of my mom and sister helping me into my dress that I’ll cherish forever. For the ceremony and reception, we wanted ‘documentary photography,’ light on the posing and heavy on the candid shots. That’s exactly what we got. Asa walked around unobtrusively and captured everything—the emotion on peoples’ faces, not least of all ours, and all our guests at their most relaxed. I had guests come up to me the next day telling me how much they liked Asa and his work, and clearly I’m included to agree.
Fellow brides, if you’re at the beginning of your wedding planning in the DC metro area, looking into photographers, and feeling overwhelmed at the packages/weird websites/unclear pricing structure, I highly recommend you stop reading this review and just book Asa. He’s both very transparent and very professional. I’m so glad he was the first vendor we signed with, and I’m looking forward to displaying our beautiful photos for decades to come.

Amy C. Married on 10/02/2021Beautiful Pictures - Professional Service
Asa was our photographer for our wedding at Pinstripes in October 2021 and he was wonderful throughout the entire process. Asa won us over with his knowledge, experience, quality, and passion for his work. He kept us on track during wedding planning and made sure he had everything he needed from us several weeks before the actual date. On the days leading up to the event, his communication was great! On the day of the wedding, he and his second photographer (Kyle Maddox) arrived on time and immediately got to work. It felt like we really got our money's worth! It was clear that Asa had done his research on the venue and where the best places for photos were. He was able to set up quickly and get wonderful shots of us, our family, and the wedding party. During the event, Asa and Kyle got a great mix of beautiful formal pictures and shots that captured the moment. It's like they were everywhere, but it never felt like they were in the way or putting people on the spot. This is exactly what we asked for when we went with Asa--it was clear that he really listened to us and used his professional experience to bring our vision to fruition. Asa and Kyle truly got wonderful photographers and I would highly recommend using them for any event. -

Kate S. Married on 06/26/2021Wonderful to work with! Beautiful pictures quickly!
My husband and I got married during the pandemic so it was important that we had pictures to show friends & family who weren't there. Asa delivered! We have so many beautiful photos. Our wedding was planned quickly so we didn't have perfect plans 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! -

Sayaka G. Married on 10/17/2020Such a pro and within budget!
Asa was an absolute pro - everyone commented on how he much he hustled all day to capture everything. We have so many pictures we didn't even know he was taking. We were SHOCKED at how quickly he was able to process our pictures and get us the 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! -

Attentive and Kind
Asa was my photographer for my covid elopement on 6/20/20.
The pictures were gorgeous and came back so quickly. Asa was kind and patient with us and never added stress to the day. He decreased my stress with great ideas and easily keeping in touch until the moment I saw my husband. -

Amazing photographer!
We loved working with Asa since the first time that we met with him we know he was the one. He was so attentive and caring regarding our situation due to COVID-19. He understood what we wanted and adjusted to our budget. We decided to do a virtual wedding but we still wanted our nice wedding picture and some portraits in a nice place. He searched the place for us and we blindly trust him. When we got to the place, we were really impressed with his selection and our pictures end up being perfect. He was such a great communicator, patient, and attentive to our needs. He answered all my emails on a timely manner and address our needs. We are a really introvert couple and we do not like taking so many pictures but ASA make us feel so comfortable that we did not even felt that we were in a photo session. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!! Thank you so much, Asa! We are beyond impress with your work! -

Ashleigh W. Married on 03/14/2020Incredible
Asa and his assistant were a pleasure to work with. He guided my husband and I through the first look, full of nerves and jitters. He suggested great locations amd made sure we stayed on time. At the reception, my husband and I greeted each guest and somehow, Asa managed to be right there to capture those moments for us. We received some amazing pictures and an amazing album that he prepared for us. I would definitely recommend Asa! -

Danielle M. Married on 08/08/2019All smiles!
Asa was so great to work with and I am so excited to see the final photos! Asa responded right away to my inquiry and continued to be responsive throughout the planning process. He was professional, gave great guidance and did what was needed to get shots throughout the ceremony and reception. For me it was important to get a photographer who would be able to capture authentic moments and the vibe of the event which is a large part of why I chose Asa, and he did not disappoint. He is knowledgeable of his craft and a calming, happy presence. It was a joy to work with him!By Asa Photography's reply:
Thank you Danielle! I had so much fun photographing your wedding in Old Town. I especially loved all the kind words your friends and families had for you at the reception. It was touching. I wish you all the best! -

Jenny Married on 06/29/2019Amazing photos!
Asa was amazing to work with; he was professional yet warm. Our entire bridal party enjoyed our time with him. He took over 7,000 photos and still got them back to us in record time. We cannot recommend him enough. What a pleasure to work with and what amazing photos. Thank you, Asa!!By Asa Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Jenny.! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding. I know it was a little unexpected that the construction was still going on outside and the fountain was closed, but I think we more than made up for it with shots at other beautiful locations around the venue. -
