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.
This was my very first time photographing a wedding at Burlington Weddings and Events and I pray it’s not the last- what an amazing place!! This wedding had so many special components that made it highly anticipated for me! Dominique is my sister-in-law’s sister (so basically family)! My sister-in-law was the matron of honor, my brother was a groomsmen, my daughter was the flower girl, and my parents were in attendance- no pressure at all, ha!
8 Years in the Making
Hunter and Dominique are high school sweethearts and been together for over 8 years. Their families are from the same town and everyone is so so close. This all made the celebration that much more exciting. I really appreciate how chill you two are and just how excited to be married you were. Dominique’s line all morning was “..and this is an amazon special.” Amazon- sponsor this bride! I had a blast coming to your rehearsal as well, we got so lucky with the weather all weekend!
Thank you both SO much for trusting me to capture your weekend and having my family play such a big part in your day- it means so much. Have fun reliving the best day ever!

This was the moment, Dom’s dad said “I hate this shit.” HA! Dominique is his second daughter to get married and he’s an emotional guy. Just wait until you see him on the dance floor though!
