welcome

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.

The Lodge at Mattaponi Springs | M.E. & Colin

Mattaponi Springs

I am SO excited to share M.E. & Colin’s wedding with you!! They were actually the very first couple to ever get married at this incredible venue! The Lodge at Mattaponi Springs was recently renovated and opened their doors to couples and M.E. and Colin kicked it off with a bang! M.E. and Colin deserved every single bit of goodness that came their way because of some mishaps that happened earlier in wedding planning, that’s a story for another day. The day was BEAUTIFUL. Literally, the perfect weather, the leaves were so beautiful, and there was even a swan that followed us around during portraits.

We Go Way Back

M.E. and I actually go WAY back! We both grew up in the same neighborhood as kids and I actually babysat her and her siblings when she was probably 4 or 5 years old. I absolutely loved their whole family and kept up with her mom and siblings on facebook as the years went by. I was so excited when they reached out when Colin proposed, we really came full circle.

Perfect Wedding Day

I really appreciated how calm and excited the two of you were for your wedding! You were super organized and had everything planned which made your day run so smooth! I loved your polariod station, pajama outfit change, and super sweet speeches. M.E.’s dad crafted his speech from songs and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room!! I’m so excited for you two and can’t wait to see what marriage brings your way. Shoutout to all the incredible vendors below!
