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 am currently sitting in my condo in Costa Rica and I couldn’t be more excited to share David and Bailey’s Willow Oaks wedding with you!!! David and Bailey are both teachers at Tucker High School and fell in love watching each other teach.  I really appreciated how how down to earth these two were.  […]

Happy one month anniversary to MJ and Lauren!! These two got married during a torrential downpour at the Market at Grelen.  Even through the rain, this wedding was amazing!  Some of MJ’s family traveled all the way from Uganda to witness these two tie the knot.  Seeing these two families become one was nothing short […]

This was SUCH a special wedding for me to be apart of.  Kelsey and I met when we were 5 years old!!! I grew up playing soccer with Kelsey (and her whole family)!  Her dad was my soccer coach for almost 10 years.  We have so many memories running through hotel lobbies, traveling all over […]

There aren’t words to begin to describe how incredible this day was.  I have known Katie for over a year now, we work together at Atlee High School.  She has been such an amazing friend and coworker to me this past year.  We like to tell people “we have the exact same position at Atlee […]
