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. 

Chris and Lauren’s story starts at JMU which automatically makes me love them!  They met at JMU and were friends for awhile.  They didn’t start dating until after they graduated and the rest is history!  These two were so easy to photograph.  We started at Maymont and ended at Belle Isle for the sunset.  One […]

I have dreamed of going to Denver for probably the past 10 years!!! Everyone told me that once I went out there I wouldn’t want to come home and they were right. This trip happened a few weekends ago for my best friend’s 30th birthday! It was so much fun to spend more time with […]
