About DeVa Photography

Deva Akman

Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

I have specialized on wedding and portrait photography for last 9 years. Today I still invest into trainings and workshops, I strive every day to become better in every way and I love the journey. I love photographing people, and like to be remembered as someone whose creative vision brought joy and confidence to others.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Deva was recommended to us by a coworker, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. My groom is not usually a fan of taking pictures, but Deva made it fun, and he genuinely enjoyed the experience. The photos from our wedding day turned out absolutely amazing. Deva is easy to talk to, professional, and has a way of making your day feel delightful and stress-free. She even made me look like a model! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer.

    Deva was wonderful -- Amazing photographer!

    Deva was absolutely wonderful to work with—warm, kind, and truly attentive to our needs throughout the day. She captured our June outdoor wedding beautifully, and the photos exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved both the images and the album. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly!

    A sincere thank you. Your wedding remains one I truly enjoyed photographing. The rain made the day feel even more memorable.

    Exceptional Creativity and Quality!!!

    Working with Deva for our wedding was an absolute pleasure. From our very first interaction, she was thoughtful, attentive, and deeply client-oriented, making my husband and I feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Deva's work is genuinely exceptional - the photos she captured truly reflect our personalities, love, and all the emotions of our special day. We never had to worry about photography, as Deva professionally handled everything with grace and a calm demeanor, helping to keep the day running smoothly. The beautiful candid and posed shots she delivered are a treasure we will cherish forever. We highly recommend DeVa Photography to any couple looking for a dedicated, supportive partner to beautifully document their wedding day.

Typically, couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as you save your wedding day to ask about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
My Husband is my Assistant/Business Partner/Second Shooter(whenever needed) We service in NY, NJ, CT, PA, RI, and MA. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. The Close-up Photos are retouched without an additional charge.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
You can expect about 50 to 80 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
Hire the photographer you personally like. When you find the one, be a loyal customer. True artists go the extra mile to deliver better and better each time for the loyal customers.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. But I can recommend videographers for you to reach out to.
My photography education started before digital, while I was in college overseas. I have taken film photography and darkroom classes and started digital photography in 2011 with private lessons from a fashion photographer. I have assisted a wedding photographer for a year, that provided on the job training. I took classes from the International Center of Photography in NYC. In addition to all these, I take online classes, and Workshops, every year.
