Hi there, I’m Ashley Edmunds and I photograph weddings all over the world but my heart is in Virginia.
I grew up in Richmond, lived in the heart of Shenandoah for 7 years, and then found my way back to Richmond. Once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m a little Richmond obsessed. I can help you find the best restaurant, park, or brewery for any part of this wonderful city. I love photographing weddings here at home, in Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, DC, and beyond! When I’m not photographing weddings I’m most likely chasing River, my yellow lab trying to get a shoe out of his mouth, teaching my high school kiddos, or traveling with my amazing fiance Craig. 

Tuckahoe Spring I had been looking forward to this session ever since I met Corey and Lauren for coffee a few months ago! We had so much in common and I absolutely loved chatting with them. I was looking forward to photographing them with their dog, Hank. You can imagine my excitement when just weeks […]

Summer in Georgetown I absolutely loved taking Mike and Rachel’s engagement photos in downtown Georgetown! I feel so lucky to live in Richmond where there are so many beautiful photo spots but there’s something about going to an entirely new town that makes me feel super creative all over again. Not only did I shoot […]

Growing up I was obviously the one that made sure that all our family memories were captured and a certain someone did not always agree with me wanting to take photos. This same someone got engaged at the end of October and has since had me photograph the proposal and now engagement photos and I […]

I am so excited to share Ellie and Gray’s Richmond engagement session with you today! When I saw the forecast was saying the high temperature was going to be in the 40’s, I texted Ellie thinking they would cancel. I’m SO glad they didn’t because we had the most beautiful light and it really wasn’t […]
