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. 

Fall Hollyfield Manor The most beautiful Fall Hollyfield Manor engagement session!!! I truly feel like I’m going home when I drive down the long driveway to this beautiful venue. I just love being here in all seasons! Makaylah and Landen took full advantage of getting married here and decided to have their engagement photos done […]

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 […]

Summer in Georgetown I absolutely loved taking Mike and Rachel’s engagement photos in downtown Georgetown! I feel so lucky to live in Richmond where there are so many beautiful photo spots but there’s something about going to an entirely new town that makes me feel super creative all over again. Not only did I shoot […]
