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. 

Hollyfield Manor Wedding Pulling up the long driveway to a colorful Hollyfield Manor wedding always feels like coming home! I always get there early so I can find Jessica in the reception space and catch up. I am always so honored when you all hire me to work here, such a beautiful place. Natalie and […]

We met up the Monday after Riverrock festival so I was expecting it to be dead out there. Instead, we walked across the bridge and the water was so high, only two rocks weren’t under […]
