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 hope everyone is doing okay cooped up at home.  Luckily, I have had these amazing pictures to work on and edit the past week.  Matt and Mackenzie are such a fun couple!!! These two met at JMU, got engaged at JMU, and Mackenzie is a teacher, so I knew it was meant to be […]

I absolutely love getting to photograph sessions somewhere meaningful for the couple.  Last Sunday, I went to Midland, Virginia to photograph Bryant and Jaime at Jaime’s grandmother’s house.  She lives on a BEAUTIFUL property with an old farm house, barn, and amazing light!  Half way through the session, I learned that Jaime grew up practically […]

One thing I always ask right before an engagement session is if they have ever gotten professional portraits done.  After you see these photos, you’ll see how surprised I was when Lora and Ethan said no.  They could seriously be models!!!  Fun fact about these two- they actually beat the statistics and met at a […]
