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. 

I FINALLY GOT TO TAKE PICTURES OF ONE OF MY COUPLES!!!!! Ya’ll winter is slow season for wedding photographers so in March when things get started back up, I get SO excited.  Unfortunately, this March was a different story with the virus!  When Kara texted me that she reserved time at Tuckahoe Plantation for her […]

Hiiii, how is everyone? I can’t believe we’ve been in quarantine for over two months already, so crazy!!  I recently thought about how it might help my brides and future brides if I shared a little bit about my own wedding planning journey.  Planning a wedding is always semi stressful but right now it is […]

I took the opportunity to take photos of some of my Christmas decorations the one time my house was clean- right before my Christmas party!   I haven’t shared much about my house on the blog because there’s so much I want to do with it, but why share when everything is perfect? I bought my […]
