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. 

Mechanicsville Newborn The Bissoon family is the absolute sweetest and come to find out, they only live a mile from me! Baby Benjamin was born six weeks ago. I typically do newborn sessions within 2-4 weeks of babies being born but this ended up working out PERFECTLY! Benjamin was so alert for photos- he’s already […]

Seriously where has the time gone?! I can’t believe I have a three month old and I really can’t believe it’s already time to go back to teaching after 14 weeks at home. Cue the tears! I am SO lucky that my mom is going to watch Annie at her house until June. Craig and […]

It was an honor to photograph baby Mia, Chris, and Shivonne just a week after Mia was born! Shivonne reached out to me and sent me the sweetest email FROM THE HOSPITAL! From another momma that just gave birth, I was super impressed she was thinking about photos and that just shows how important it […]

I don’t typically share family sessions on the blog but lately I have been doing more newborn sessions and I thought it would be fun to share a few over the next coming weeks! Weddings are typically slow in July and August and I’m able to do family, newborn, and maternity sessions for a change […]
