A LAKESIDE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

NICHOLE + SETH | VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA

Last Sunday evening I met up with Nichole + Seth at a local state park for their engagement photos. As a couple, they love + appreciate the great outdoors and I knew this lakeside park was the perfect locale for this incredible couple.  Nichole is a natural beauty, both in person and in front of the camera- and I couldn’t help but have hair envy of her natural long locks. Seth is the perfect mix of a Southern gentlemen and an avid outdoors man, together they walked hand in hand and enjoyed the beach as it was their first time experiencing the scenic beauty this park offers.

Although nervous at first, they quickly warmed up to the camera and loved being photographed, they were excited to spend a few hours together celebrating and enjoying each other’s company.  

Their wedding is set for later this year and I can’t wait for the big day.

We even braved a few close encounters with baby jellyfish to make these beautiful engagement photos happen.

Much love to you both Nichole + Seth

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.
