FOR THE LOVE OF DOGS + DOWNTOWN NORFOLK ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Meet Victoria + Justin and their beloved pups Sir Winston Churchill and the fluffy sweet as pie, Bonzai. 

They opted for a more high fashion style for their long awaited engagement photos and I loved their sense of style!

Together hand in hand they strolled the cobblestone streets of the hip and popular downtown Norfolk, VA Freemason District seeking out the best locales for their engagement photos.  

On one of the last days of summer we took to the streets and wandered in awe over the gorgeous tree lined grand homes that are everywhere in the Freemason district.  We found a few of our favorite and enjoyed spending the afternoon talking about the upcoming wedding and their crazy so called life with the high energy dogs. 

Justin and Victoria wanted a relaxed  but magazine worthy engagement photos where they could include their beloved dogs as they are a major part of their lives together. 

I fell head over heels in love with the two of them, their playful yet chic style and of course how could you not fall in love with their pups?  I’m seriously considering adopting a second dog, I want a little fluffy puppy to snuggle up with too! 

Thanks Victoria! 

I can’t wait for the big wedding day to arrive next May 2016 at the lovely Chrysler Museum.  In the meantime, fall in love with this amazing couple, their gorgeous downtown engagement photos and their beautiful fur family.

A perfect backdrop for their downtown Norfolk engagement photo session, this just also happens to be their wedding ceremony venue for next May 2016. 

This was just one of the many gorgeous homes we discovered while wandering through the streets of the Freemason District during Victoria + Justin’s engagement photos!  We actually met the homeowners as well and spend a few minutes chatting with them, they were a wonderful couple!  

A special THANK YOU to Makeup Artist, Kim Wadsworth of Bridesmaid  for making Victoria feel absolutely beautiful and look stunning for her engagement photos.  You are the Queen of Makeup and of course for taking the time to also steam her gorgeous cocktail dress, you always go above and beyond Kim and that is always truly appreciated.

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.
