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. 

Fall Hollyfield Manor The most beautiful Fall Hollyfield Manor engagement session!!! I truly feel like I’m going home when I drive down the long driveway to this beautiful venue. I just love being here in all seasons! Makaylah and Landen took full advantage of getting married here and decided to have their engagement photos done […]
