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.

Richmond Marriott Wedding Tim and Thanh had a beautiful cold Richmond Marriott Wedding!! Thanh decided to use my coverage to her advantage because she wanted more party photos than getting ready photos. She had me start coverage at her ceremony. This way I was able to be with them all night long at their Richmond […]
