PHOTOGRAPHY

my journal

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. 

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 […]

House Updates

February 24, 2020

I took the opportunity to take photos of some of my Christmas decorations the one time my house was clean- right before my Christmas party!   I haven’t shared much about my house on the blog because there’s so much I want to do with it, but why share when everything is perfect? I bought my […]

Christmas on Jeffrey

December 24, 2019

This past weekend was my last busy weekend until my January 11th wedding weekend!! Also, I can’t believe I’m posting this because I still have Christmas wrapping and a tad bit of shopping to do, anyone else?!? This past weekend started off with a little bit of a rough start.  I ate something funny on […]

Weekend Wrap-Up #11: Christmas Break

December 23, 2019

With Thanksgiving today, I thought I’d take a second to appreciate the things that come with being a wedding photographer.  This job and business was not something I ever dreamed I would be doing.  I didn’t start taking photography classes until I was out of college.  Ever since I got into the wedding industry, I […]
