2025 Recent Bride
Nafa and her talented team at Judah Ave were absolutely outstanding at our wedding on November 7th! They captured incredible photos of everyone, and honestly, every shot looked like a money shot—I just knew our gallery would be amazing.
Even as chaos unfolded, the whole team kept us in good spirits and brought so much creativity to our poses, catching every angle and perfectly reflecting the vibe of our day. Their professionalism and energy made every moment in front of the camera comfortable and fun.
I truly can’t recommend Judah Ave more highly. They were excellent in every way, and I’ll be booking them for all our future photography needs. I already know our photos ATE DOWN, and I cannot wait to see the final results! -

Exceptional Experience & End Results!
Nafa and the Judah Avenue team were exceptional on my big day! We booked the package that included engagement photos and I'm so glad we did because our guest can't stop talking about how great our pictures were!
On the day of the wedding Judah Ave sent Aaliyah as an extra set of hand to help and that was the best gift I didn't know I needed! She was literally my honorary bridesmaid! The attention to detail and quality of service is truly 1-of-1.
I am a repeat customer for a reason! Judah Ave is the type of company I want capturing my life moments!! -

Ridiculously amazing - the value is unmatched!
Look no further!!!! Your search is done. Judah Avenue is the best photography team, hands down. Extremely professional, thorough, creative, and so ridiculously talented. Great great great communication. The owner is simply amazing!! They did photography for my September 2024 wedding. All our pictures were simply stunning. Vibrant, bright, reflected our high energy of the day; but also had editorial style, and glamorous style. NO amateurs here. We were flooded with soooo many amazing pictures, we can't even choose! They were at the right place at the right time, and always ready to capture all the important moments. They pay attention to small details, things I didn't even know to ask for. There were zero equipment mishaps, they were well prepared. You will not be disappointed! Book them TODAY. -

100 Stars for Judah Avenue!!
Nafa and the whole Judah Avenue team are incredible from the day you sign your wedding contract to the day of your wedding and beyond when you receive your pictures! Our wedding photographers went above and beyond on our day. Alex and the team really went the extra mile to ensure we had incredible pictures that we can look forward to reviewing for years to come. They took every shot they could think of and then some and we are forever grateful to the team for all they did! I would tell anyone who'll listen to book with Judah Avenue for their wedding or special event!! -

Amazing!! We love Judah Avenue
Nafa and her team were amazing. From the beginning to the end. Patience, professionalism, and perfection. For real. When it comes to a wedding, it's imperative that the team capture every moment for the beauty that it is. And we are blown away with the result. Thank you all so much for being so integral in making our day perfect. (They also were amazing for our holiday family photo shoot :) ) I can't say enough positive remarks about Judah Avenue. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! -

Judah Avenue was God sent!
Words can’t describe our amazing experience with Judah Avenue as our wedding photographer and videographer! Judah Avenue was truly God-Sent! When we first contacted Judah Avenue and spoke with Suzan, we knew right away that it was a perfect match! Both Suzan and Susan made the booking and planning process so smooth and easy.
We were unable to meet the Judah Avenue team prior to our wedding as we are out of town, however when the team arrived on our wedding day with the most positive energy, we had an instant connection and had so much fun together! Our wedding day was glorious and Judah Avenue captured every moment beautifully! Only 3 days after our wedding, Maria sent us a sweet video teaser as well as a few lovely photos of my husband and I. We were blown away by how beautiful they were! We couldn’t wait to share with our family and friends!
We would absolutely recommend Judah Avenue a million times over! If you are looking for a professional, experienced, prompt, extremely talented, and super fun wedding photographer and videographer in the DMV area, Judah Avenue is the most excellent choice!
We are forever grateful for you - Nafa, Suzan, Susan, Maria, Nii, Felix, Albert, Taby, and the wonderful Judah Avenue Team for giving us the memories of a lifetime! Best believe we shall be back for our maternity and newborn shoots when God blesses us with babies :)-

A day to remember
Judah Avenue is hands down the best photography company you can ever work with. I had been seeing their pictures here and there on instagram and was waiting for a reason to be able to book with them. Once I got engaged, there was no question on who I was going to go with. We had Joy and Nigel for our day of. They blended in and were like guests at our wedding all while capturing some of the most amazing moments of our day. They were fun and personable the entire way through. Book them, you won't regret it!! -

Superb! Best Wedding Photographers in the DMV!
After a lot of researching and deliberating, we decided to hire Judah Photography, one of the best wedding photographers in the DMV area (Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia), to capture our wedding day during the Memorial Day weekend 2019. This was by far one of the best decisions we made concerning our wedding vendors! One of the reasons is, before the wedding, Judah Photography, kept in constant contact with us. From the beginning of our relationship the whole Judah team made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our wedding day. SuZan was always readily available to answer any and every question promptly and provided expert level recommendations. We had a number of detailed and inviting telephone conversations about wedding details as well as our love story so that the photographers didn’t only capture the visual aspects of the wedding but tried to encapsulate who we were.
We finally had the opportunity to meet in person the day of the wedding and it felt like old friends coming in town for the celebration. Nafa, Huy, and Taby floated seamlessly among our various venues, the bridal party, and amongst our guests: getting ready in the hotel, on the way to the ceremony, at the wedding ceremony, on the way to and at the reception. Everyone knows that things do not always go as planned with weddings, and as true professionals, Judah Avenue adapted to the circumstances. For example, we were scheduled to take pictures as the sun was setting. However, because the reception started late, we missed the timing. Nonetheless, Nafa and Taby pulled us out of the reception for a few minutes and captured the most beautiful evening photos--beyond what we ever imagined.
Now, on to the surprise and real treat of viewing our photos after the wedding. We were told that we would receive our photos 6-8 weeks after the event but received them within 3 weeks. The pictures were nothing short of amazing; our first impression was the color, all of the pictures were bright and the colors really popped off the page. The pictures were beautiful and the photographers went out of their way in order to catch us in a variety of poses and truly flatter us. If you want an intimate wedding photography experience with amazing, show-stopping pictures, go with Judah Photography, for your wedding! You won’t regret it; they make memories! -

Excellent!!!!!
From the moment we met Nafa, we knew that we wanted to have Judah Avenue as our wedding photographer. During our first meeting with her, she was so friendly and professional. We were both so comfortable and looked no where else. By far, the best decision we made during our wedding planning. Nafa along with the rest of the team: Susan, Maria, Joseph and Nij were so amazing from the beginning to the end.
We are glad we choose them to do both our engagement pictures and our two day wedding. We couldn’t put it in words how sweet everyone was and how extremely helpful they were during this process. A special thanks to Maria for dealing with us during the album design process and her patience! There were so many beautiful moments captured that both my husband and I had such a hard time selecting what to include in the album. I know we were a pain and we are sincerely sorry and appreciate you so much for your patience and guidance.

Professional, Kind, Caring from beginning to end !
Wow ! Where to start! Robert and I are so grateful to the Judah Avenue Photography Team - they did such a great job treating us like family, all while being professional and making sure they had all things in order so our wedding day would be captured perfectly from beginning to end.
Speaking of beginning - our special relationship with Judah Avenue started before Robert even proposed! We had the honor of meeting Nafa (and being exposed to the professionalism and creative talent of Judah Avenue) the very first day Robert and I met - which happened to be at a wedding (where I knew the bride and Robert knew the groom). We were blessed to have a very first day of meeting capture in such beauty ... fast forward a year and six months and we were reunited with Nafa on OUR wedding day! We even were able to recreate our first picture together !
Having Judah Avenue Photography as our wedding photographer vendor was one of the best choices we made. If you’re in the washington dc, maryland or virginia area, your best choice is Judah Avenue ! We are forever grateful to Nafa, Huy, Rico, Suzan, Maria and Susan for all of their hard work! Looking forward to having them capture our next chapter together (once the babies come!) -

My advice for future brides and grooms considering Judah as your photographer for your wedding day is to just go ahead and DO IT!! You will not regret booking with Judah. Our entire team was simply amazing. Joy and Joseph were our photographers on our wedding day and they were beyond amazing. They weren't pushy and controlling. We had fun with them the entire day from our getting ready pictures down to reception. They made us feel very comfortable and they quickly learn your sides lol. Maria, Susan, and Suzan were my go to ladies. Very sweet ladies and always able to reach them via email or phone. My husband and I didn't have any worries because we knew they were going to making sure everything would be perfect for us and it was. I absolutely love Judah Avenue and highly recommend them. -

Judah Avenue is excellent! They help you every step of the way. They review your timeline to ensure you get all the pictures you desire, at the locations your desire. Nafa was our photographer. She is great, and has a wonderful personality. Everyone on her staff was very friendly and professional. They are also very reasonably priced for their quality of service. Their pictures are vibrant, which is what drew us to Judah. We are very pleased. http://www.judahavenue.com/2017/11/chelsea-drews-wedding-bowie-elks-lodge-in-gambrills-md-wedding-photography-maryland/ -

One of the BEST decisions I made during my wedding planning process was selecting Judah Avenue as my photography and videography team. I was introduced to Judah Avenue’s work via Instagram and was so impressed. Everyone on the team provided excellent, five star customer service. Nafa, the owner, was extremely warm and personable, she answered all of my questions and easing any of my concerns.
In the months leading up to the wedding, I worked with Leslie, Susan, and Suzan, who handled the logistics of everything from assisting me with the all the paperwork to getting a detailed timeline of the wedding to ensure that the photography and videography team would be all set for capturing our big day. All three ladies were so nice and helpful every time we communicated. Their customer service was nothing short of five star.
On our wedding day, we had two photographers and two videographers. While we were getting ready in the hotel, Joy (photo) and Dylan (video) worked with the girls and Nii (photo) and Sherwyn (video) worked with the guys. My bridesmaids and I absolutely LOVED Joy. She was so bubbly and fun. All seven of my bridesmaids commented that they definitely wanted her to shoot their wedding. The girl’s videographer, Dylan was quiet but very nice and professional. He and Joy worked really well together. My husband also loved working with Nii and Sherwyn while he and his groomsmen were getting ready. They too were very extremely professional and easy to work with.
After the wedding, we worked with Maria who helped us with everything from the wedding album to downloading our photos and videos. Like everyone else on the team, she provided excellent customer service. She was always prompt in her responses, so kind and professional.
If you are looking for professionals who do beautiful work, do yourself a favor and hire Judah Avenue. They are the best wedding photographer and videographer team in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. -

There are no words to express how amazing your work and professionalism was during my September 2017 wedding and engagement. Throughout the entire process, you and your team continued wow us with your creative poses and attention to detail. Judah Avenue's team was so responsive and easy to work with which gave me so much added comfort knowing if things went wrong my wedding then at least I would have some amazing pictures. When I first Nafa, she mentioned that her clients never leave and continue to use her photography services throughout the years to come. Well, I can definitely see why they don't leave- I can't wait to photography my next major milestones (maturity, family, etc) with Judah Avenue in the future! -

I discovered Judah Avenue Photography via social media in 2015, then had the blessing of meeting
Nafa at a wedding open house in 2016. Seeing the work of Judah Avenue in person made me even more excited and the positive energy was the cherry on top for me. We met with Nafa to discuss packages covering all details, not feeling pressured to book Judah Avenue but we left knowing Judah Avenue was for us. Professional, Understanding, Passionate, and Organized are just a few qualities of Judah Avenue that made our September Wedding successful!
Nafa and Joseph became more than our photographers on the Best Day Ever for us! They made our day special by capturing all the details, making us laugh, and keeping us calm. We are thankful for their dedication to their craft and it shows in the beautiful wedding pictures we received.
Always,
Paapa and Teresa

Nafa and her team are hands down the BEST wedding and life style photographers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with!! I consider my husband I blessed to not only to know Nafa and have her do our wedding, it was a honor! Being in the event and wedding industry myself, I have worked with some of the best photographers in the DMV over the years, but by far Nafa and the team at Judah Avenue Photography are my favorite! Other than Judah Avenue having amazing photographers they also have great staff in Susan and Suzan, they're so sweet and super responsive, they are the best when it comes to customer service, which is always huge in my book.
Another thing that I love about Nafa and her team (among the many), they really make you feel like family and made it easy to feel comfortable with taking photos ( which my non modeling self was very worried about). Nafa did both our engagement and wedding day photos, along with Joseph, Nigel and everything was amazing! They capture moments of our day that I will truly cherish forever. Judah Avenue photography is simply amazing! I'm not just a fan of Judah Avenue, she officially has a client for life out of me! The best thing you could do for your wedding is hire Judah Avenue photography, you will not regret it! -

There was 2 things I knew for sure: That I wanted to marry my husband & that I wanted to have Judah Avenue as our Wedding Photographer.
I emailed Judah Avenue in March of 2017 and for the second time in my life, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! THEY WERE AVAILBLE! And offered Wedding videography! I worked with Suzan to place my deposit and sign the contract immediately!
Going SO above and beyond, Susan helped coordinate the timeline & participated in numerous conference calls with my day-of-coordinator. Susan's calmness, knowledge, professionalism, and compassion really made such a difference in the weeks before my wedding. The day before my wedding, Nafa called to relate how excited she was to photograph the wedding and asked if there were any last minute things that they could help with. After getting off the phone with her, I couldn't help but feel so lucky. On the day of the wedding, Susan emailed me her best wishes and congratulations for the day.
So the wedding day came and we had the pleasure of working with photographers Nafa, Nii, and Joseph, videographers Sherwyn, Kai, and Biam, and manager Nigel. While this may sound like a lot of people, once the reception got started, they completely blended into the crowd! Both the photographers & videographers were so helpful in terms of posing, timelines, ideas for pictures, & suggestions throughout the night. They were so fun, & kind, & flexible with our suggestions as well- we could not have asked for a better experience. They truly made it feel like we had invited our closest friends to our wedding, who happened to have cameras and be wearing black. They were so amazing, they were even able to pull my husband and I aside during the reception for a mini sparkler session!!
Its been 6 weeks, & Maria has sent us over 150 pictures and a highlight video- with the full gallery being available in just a few weeks! We could not be more impressed and in love with the work we have seen so far!

When I was looking for a wedding photographer in Washington, DC, I searched social media and fell in love with Judah Avenue Photography. I looked at other photographers in the area, but none of them measured up. When first meeting with Nafa, she was super friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. We knew that we wanted her to be our photographer on our big day! Email communication with Suzan was prompt and painless.
On the wedding day, we were met with smiling faces. Nafa and Manny were amazing! They directed us with ease and made sure that we were comfortable. During the most stressful time (family photos), the team was able to direct the crowd to get the photos that we requested. There was also an assistant (sorry that I did not get his name) who was very polite and friendly.
Upon receiving the first set of photos, we were beyond impressed! We received many compliments from friends and family commenting that these are the best wedding photos that they've seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to go with Judah Avenue Photography! We would choose them again and again! If I could recommend anything it would be to provide 1 or 2 edited photos of the bride and groom within 24-48 hours from the wedding. That would really take the service over the top. -

My spouse and I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of working with Judah Avenue Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. From our initial contact with Susan, we were treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Susan was both attentive and responsive to our every question and concern. The Judah Avenue team took great care to understand what our vision as for our photos; this was accomplished by setting convenient telephonic meetings to discuss our vision and the plan for our photos. This level of detail and preparation was necessary to ensure that we received the outcome that we envisioned for our special moments. From referrals for make up artists and a great eye for detail in selecting the appropriate locations for our engagement photo shoots - we knew that we were in good hands with Nafa. Our interactions didn't stop there, we had the pleasure of working with Maria, SuZan, Manolo and Randy. All of these individuals played specific roles from videoing to producing our final images. We could not be more pleased with the level of service and more importantly, the consistent level of customer service that we have received throughout our entire business relationship. Our proofs were delivered on time as promised as well as the final photos. Our photos are still touted as the most beautiful works of art that our friends and family have EVER seen. Judah Avenue Photography was able to capture the essence of who we are as a couple, with a glimpse into our luxe lifestyle. Nafa was able to illicit the best out of my spouse, who up until meeting her, was completely camera-shy! Judah Avenue Photography is without out doubt the best, premier wedding photography company in the DC, Maryland and VA area. I'm so proud that I found them, hired them, and have beautiful memories (in print) to last a lifetime. Thank you Judah Avenue Photography!! -

Listen, if you need a photographer to capture your wedding the most memorable day of your life, it’s so important to have a team that is not only talented but flexible, patient, friendly and understanding because things may not always go as smoothly as planned. Our initial booking with Judah Avenue, began with a warm reception of sweet delicacies, positivity and genuine excitement about our special day and peaked on the wedding day where each member of the team greeted us with warmth, cheer and so much flexibility, even when our timeline was a bit offline. Finally seeing the flawless results in the sneak peek blog edition and reliving our day through their work was priceless. One of my favorite wedding vendors I am so proud and honored to have worked with is Judah Avenue. There is no better wedding photographer or videographer in the Washington D.C, Maryland and Virginia area. But if you are out of state it doesn’t matter she will come to you! And trust me it is so worth it! Our first contact was Nafa and she had my husband sold from day one, her hospitable personality and passion for her work is apparent in the excellence she produces. Interacting with Susan via email was always a pleasure and working with Nii & Nigel on the day of was seamless and easy. I didn’t see them all over the place at my ceremony yet they captured every moment. Many say photography is the number one expense to invest in for your wedding day. Please believe me when I say Judah Avenue is the most efficient, most talented, most entertaining, fun and professional photographer you will ever meet. I found them online after viewing a wedding they captured at my church, my church is beautiful but I’ve never seen it look so exquisite before. The results are IMPECCABLE!! There is no way you can be disappointed, the video, the photos, all so beautiful, the colors popped, we had artistic shots and posed shots, it was a medley of all we were looking for. If you want to be blown away, please just go for -

I worked with the Judah Avenue Team of John and Joy for my clients' wedding on 5/27/17. As a Wedding Planner it is a joy to work with photographers who know what they are doing and make everyone feel comfortable. In the planning phases, Nafa and her team gave me great input on the day of timeline and how much time was needed to capture all their shots, which made for smooth sailing on the day of. I also love when vendors and I develop a partnership instead of me feeling like a manager and that's exactly what I received. The shots are beautiful and most importantly my clients are ecstatic with the final product. I will definitely be referring my clients looking for a photographer in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia to Judah Avenue!

Judah Avenue did the photography for our wedding and engagement shoot. They did an excellent job throughout. We met Nafa who was incredibly friendly and took the time to take us through the process and options. While Nafa wasn’t available to be our photographer on our date, she suggested Joy who was fantastic. Getting professional photographs was new to us, and I definitely had no idea what I was doing, but Joy made it super easy – she suggested places for us to do the engagement shoot and created a relaxed environment right away. On our wedding day, Joy and the second photographer Coreene fit in really well, got along with everyone at the wedding, and moved through the shots efficiently and professionally. The photos turned out great from both engagement and wedding. We are really happy with the wedding album and everyone we show it to is impressed. The communication with Judah Avenue was easy and professional throughout – I highly recommend them for your engagement shoot and wedding. -

Judah Avenue is awesome! I've worked with her on a wedding which was done with so much professionalism, and the photos were released in only a matter of weeks instead of months! The photos were also featured on various wedding websites and social media accounts because they were so awesome. In addition, I asked Nafa to take my business headshots in preparation for some speaking engagements that I have lined up,and once again she didn't disappoint! I would highly recommend Judah Avenue for wedding photography in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. You won't regret it! -

I cannot thank Nafa and her team at Judah Avenue enough for the truly invaluable service of photographing our wedding! The elegant, candid, and fun quality of Nafa’s photos made me want to interview her as a potential photographer, but upon my first in-person meeting, I was sold. Nafa radiates warmth and excitement and her passion for her work is inspiring.
Nafa has an artist’s eye for the details that make for beautiful moments, and genuine love and respect for the moments that she witnesses to draw out the best in her subjects. Your wedding day will not go exactly as planned and when that happens, you will want photographer who can adjust to the moment without missing a beat. Nafa does all of that with grace, poise, creativity, and humor. My husband and I had a wonderful and unforgettable time with our families and friends on our wedding day; it truly was the best day of our lives, and Nafa and her team seamlessly fit right into that energy. This mix paid off hugely in an AMAZING selection of photos. When we first saw the proofs for our wedding, my husband and I were absolutely speechless to have so many gorgeous, warm, magazine-quality shots to memorialize our perfect day. We received the proofs a month ago and my husband and I and our families literally cannot stop looking at our gallery. My husband and I received so much more than a collection of photos; we received a priceless time capsule of the best and most important day of our lives. I can’t thank Nafa and the Judah Avenue team enough for this gift. -

To be honest, i was highly impressed with her work. My friend showed me some of her pictures and I thought wow! On the first day we met, she had a million ideas on how to make my pictures everything i wanted them to be. She was very friendly and willing to incorporate my vision as well. I could go on and on.. Long story short, the end product was better that i had imagined. -

Judah Avenue photography brings creative concepts and an extraordinary eye to every photo shoot. They take the time to learn their clients to bring out the fun and romantic aspects that makes the couple unique. Locations and props that were important to us were essential to our shots. Judah Avenue possesses proficient technical skill and captures beautiful shots despite environmental or weather related challenges. The editing, website, CD and photo book services are timely and professional. I certainly recommend Judah Avenue photography! -

This vendor..ahh..my heart smiles when I think of her. Nafah was the first vendor I secured. Her creativity and style from her website caught my attention as I am a person who loves colors, dynamics, but class and crispness in photos. She is very photojournalistic! I love that, she caught portraits but the candid pictures were exquisite! She made me feel like she was a friend, not just a vendor. She really dedicated personal time in numerous phone calls, photo site visits, posing tips, and even in other aspects of my wedding. Her eye for detail was just amazing, she caught the little things and created shots of my wedding items in such a creative heart felt way. There were times with some of my other wedding vendors that I thought I was going to lose it, but she comforted me on several occasions and checked in on me when it wasn't her task as a photographer to do so... She is talented, flexible, professional, creative, and timely. I found her price to be very affordable. She looked at my needs and provided a GREAT package!! I feel like she is a diamond in the rough...truly a gift to the photography industry.. My photos can be seen at http://judahavenue.zenfolio.com/f161607896..passcode -hemming -

All I can say is we were really lucky to find Judah Avenue Photography. We had a very simple wedding in Spetember but when the pictures came back, we could not believe our eyes. They were so lovely with beautiful vibrant colors. She was easy to work with, professional, very accommodating and responsive to our needs. Judah Avenue Photography was worth the money we spent and more. Before we decided to go with Judah Avenue, we had spoken to about 5 different photographers and none of them were offering what we got for the price we paid. We paid for 6 hours but Nafa was virtually with us the whole day at no additional cost. She had fun and never made us feel like we were being too demanding. There was one picture I absolutely loved but felt like I was a little heavy in, she suprised me after editing it because I looked so slim and sexy! For me that meant a lot as I wanted to look perfect in my wedding pictures. Highly satisfied with the service! Thank you Judah Avenue. -

We used Nafah(Judah Avenue) for our wedding back in June of last year and she did a fabulous job, she was fun to work with from the day we retained her until the day of the wedding. She is very easygoing and did everything to make us happy, and I mean everything. She went above and beyond our expecations. She worked with us on pricing and came up with a payment plan since she was a bit out of our range at the time. I do not regret working with her one bit, she was very creative and directed us in many unique poses. She also caught many funny and happy moments that we did not even know happened during the wedding. We also did our engagement pictures with her and many of the pictures look like book covers! You can see some of our pictures on her website, they were stunning. We ended up referring her to many other people. She has become our family photographer and when I have my baby I will definately be using her services. Oh and I forgot to mention that our wedding albums that we ordered a couple months later were amazing!!! I'm going to do another one for the baby. I highly recommend her services at any time again and again.
