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. 

Holly Field Manor in the Heat Brittany and Tucker had a beautiful Hollyfield Manor wedding on one of the hottest days of the summer! They had such an amazing attitude about the heat and were just so excited to get married. I was so incredibly happy this whole day, I honestly didn’t really think about […]

Nikki and Ben recently bought a home out in Montpelier and when I pulled in the driveway, I immediately thought to myself “Why isn’t […]

Spring Maymont I actually can’t believe we almost rescheduled this session!! Grace and Lewey live in Wilmington, North Carolina and were only in town for the weekend. The forecast for Friday night showed extreme gusts of wind so we discussed moving the session but decided it was best since they were only in town for […]

Rainy Charlottesville Wool Factory Wedding Leading up to Annie and Adam’s wedding day, I was obsessively checking the weather and finally decided that it was going to rain all day long and we’d make beautiful portraits inside. You can imagine my surprise when the forecast changed literally 30 minutes after I arrived at The Wool […]

Spring at Keswick Vineyard You may think you shouldn’t get married at a vineyard when the vines aren’t in full bloom, but I’m here to tell you it is just as beautiful!! When I showed up in early April to Keswick, I found so many great spots to take photos- truly one of the my […]
