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. 

I have SO many sessions to post to catch you guys up on my busy Fall but I’m going to post my most recent session first! This past weekend, I met Becca and Joseph in downtown Ashland for their engagement session!! We had so much fun walking around the train stain and Randolph Macon campus. […]

I am SO excited to share this special engagement session in DC with Cheryl and Powell.  We had to cancel due to COVID a few times so I could hardly wait when we got the go in early July.  Most of the time, I go to locations and scout them out before an engagement session.  […]

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 […]
