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. 

Today I am sharing Jacob and Dakota’s amazing, classy Keswick Vineyards wedding.  It was such an incredible day!! The forecast all week was showing light rain and it held off for them to have their gorgeous Vineyards wedding!  Just pulling up to Keswick is an experience in itself.  You drive up a long driveway and […]

Emily and Aaron got married last weekend at the beautiful Lakeside at Welch Estate in Powhatan, Virginia.  I have gotten close with these two over the last year through wedding planning and even had a doggy playdate (more to come)!  This couple is very admirable for numerous reasons but first and foremost, Emily is active […]

When I first read Sarah and Carter’s email inquiry about a year ago, I literally squealed!!  My whole life I’ve grown up spending summers at the river in Gloucester and walking around Yorktown beach at night.  Sarah actually grew up living on the river in Gloucester about .5 miles from our summer home.  The venue […]

Lianne and Ryan had the absolute perfect weather for their April wedding day. I was extra excited for this wedding because I photographed Lianne’s brother’s wedding last year and their family is SO MUCH FUN! We started the day at the Hilton downtown which was such a classy place to get ready. The rest of […]

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 […]

I’m so excited to introduce you to Richmond’s newest engaged couple! Proposals are such a fun thing to photograph because there is so much emotion involved!! There’s also something fun about being sneaky and catching the moment.  Will reached out to me about a month ago and told me his plan. Him and Brooke recently […]

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 […]

What an incredible engagement session!! When we scheduled these photos a long time ago, we had no way of knowing that the weather would be the perfect temperature or that they Fall leaves would be at their peak, we just got lucky!! Liv and Jackson were SO much fun and honestly so natural.  They laughed […]
