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. 

Libby Hill Park Emmy and Colin came into town from North Carolina for their Richmond engagement session and had such a beautiful night at Libby Hill Park. One thing I love about Libby Hill is the amount of options and how every shoot can look so different. I love the neighborhood around the park and […]

I had such a great night with Valerie and Blaine downtown for their engagement photos at Tredegar and Belle Isle! 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 […]

Backyard Wedding I have been telling anyone and everyone that will listen that they need to have a backyard wedding like Nikki and Ben!!! It was the most intimate, beautiful celebration. Nikki and Ben recently bought a home out in Montpelier and when I pulled in the driveway, I immediately thought to myself “Why isn’t […]

Boar’s Head Resort Wedding I was SO excited to be back in Charlottesville a few weekends ago for an intimate Boar’s Head Resort wedding! I photographed a wedding here two years ago and fell in love. When I heard Cassie and Don’s love story and wedding plans, I knew we would be a perfect fit! […]

Tuckahoe Spring I had been looking forward to this session ever since I met Corey and Lauren for coffee a few months ago! We had so much in common and I absolutely loved chatting with them.

Spring Maymont I actually can’t believe we almost rescheduled this session!! Grace and Lewey live in Wilmington, North Carolina and were only in town for the weekend. The forecast for Friday night showed extreme gusts of wind so we discussed moving the session but decided it was best since they were only in town for […]
