Cara & Will

A Downtown Richmond Engagement

Last week I travelled to Richmond Virginia to photograph Cara + Will’s engagement session. They adore their beloved city and often spend their weekends here by the water taking in the sights and walking their sweet puppy, Jaxs.  We spent the afternoon together and despite the blistering winds and chilly air, they were more than happy and excited to snuggle close and spend this time together. Cara wanted her photos to be casually chic but still have a soft, playful and romantic quality to her images.

These two were absolute naturals in front of the camera and I loved how playful and intimate they were. Will’s witty banter and Cara’s warm and joyful spirit are a match made in heaven. They are so clearly in love- it was beautiful to witness.

I can’t wait for the wedding day to arrive!

Here are a few of our favorite images from their engagement session.

 

A special thank you to Ashlyn of Transformation Artistry for Cara’s beautiful hair and makeup styling- despite the strong winds her hair looked absolutely amazing and Cara loved her makeup look!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT 
MALIE

Adores long weekends with the family poolside, dog lover, and famous Mojito maker. Barefoot gardener, skincare junkie.

With over 16 years behind the lens, I bring a seasoned eye and a soulful approach to fine art wedding and boudoir photography. I specialize in creating luminous, emotionally rich imagery that reflects not only the elegance of the day but the tender, unrepeatable moments in between—a quiet touch, a spontaneous laugh, a tear held back. Each story I tell is approached with intention, artistry, and deep devotion. My work is heartfelt and timeless, capturing love in its most poetic and authentic form.

Originally from the tranquil beauty of Southeastern Canada, I now live in Virginia with my husband and our three children. When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m often found in my garden, crafting a new sourdough recipe, or hosting intimate, candlelit dinners—complete with my signature mojito. A Libra and a romantic at heart, I believe in beauty, balance, and the kind of love that feels like home. And yes, I’ll always think retiring to Tuscany to restore a sun-drenched villa is the dream worth chasing.
