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’m so excited to share Chris and Lauren’s wedding from last weekend at the beautiful Loft at Steamer Co 5 downtown Richmond! This intimate venue is one block off of Broad Street downtown and is the perfect spot if you have 75 or less guests. Lauren and Chris opted for an intimate wedding and reception […]

This wedding has to go down in the books as one of my all time favorites!! Michele and Tim did such an amazing job planning this wedding so that everyone in attendance had the best time. Michele and I met working in the English department at Atlee a few years ago. Her and Tim were […]

My FAVORITE blog post of the entire year!!! I get to brag on all of my 2021 couples and let me say- this year will be hard to beat.  These 12 couples all went through planning a wedding (and some planning essentially two weddings) during a global pandemic which is NOT an easy task.  They […]

Nick and Leslie had such an AMAZING Fall wedding day a little less than two weeks ago. The day started at Leslie’s parents house and it was probably my favorite getting ready atmosphere ever! Her parents live in a gorgeous home in Crozier, Va and Leslie’s bridesmaids were her 3 younger sisters. They all got […]

I’m so excited to share Lindsey and Rob’s wedding day at Linden Row Inn with you!  Lindsey and I have really gotten to know each other over the past year during her wedding planning journey, I’m sad that’s all over but know we will be friends for awhile.  Another awesome and slightly intimidating thing about […]

Jessie and Hagan are the ONLY AE bride and groom I had not met until their wedding day. There have been a select few times, I’d never met the groom, but never both the bride and groom. I tell you this because I left their wedding feeling like not just acquaintances but friends! Jessie & […]

I have been counting down for this day for SO long!!! Matt and Mackenzie were originally supposed to be married February 13th, 2021.  Unfortunately, there was still a guest limit at this point and big events weren’t happening.  Another, crazy thing is February 13th there was a huge ICE STORM in Richmond so being with […]

It is tucked away in Ashland, Va surrounded by a lake, amazing sunlight, and beautiful views! Joseph and […]
