PHOTOGRAPHY
welcome
to my blog
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.
Cody + Katie | Married
Cody and Katie got married at the beautiful Historic Mankin Mansion. I just kept walking around their venue the day of the wedding thinking about how perfect everything was. The weather was clear, everything was on time, Cody and Katie were so excited…it made me so happy! Katie crafted the perfect timeline that gave us SO much time to take pictures. I loved being able to walk around the property with them and sneak away to the twinkle lights later in the night to take more portraits.
A couple things stand out to me about their day. First, Katie and Cody have an amazing team of people in their lives. Their bridal party was the first to offer to help with something or make sure Katie and Cody had everything they needed. You could tell that their friends were from childhood because of the deep connections. Katie and Cody also have amazing families. From the walk down the aisle with Katie’s dad, to the toasts that acknowledged grandparents, and I can’t forget that Katie’s brother was the one that married them!! I hope you see how beautiful their day was as you scroll through their pictures. I have tagged their dream team of vendors at the end of the blogpost. Thanks again you two and hope you’re enjoying being married! 
Katie works part time at the bridal shop she got her dress from. It was perfect for her!!
