ISMAELA + SIMON | A ROMANTIC WASHINGTON D.C ENGAGEMENT

On a warm fall afternoon I met with Ismaela and Simon for their romantic engagement photo session at the Jefferson Memorial in the heart of Washington D.C. Ismaela wore an elegant blue ballgown that paired beautifully with Simon’s tuxedo. With the beautiful architecture as our backdrop, we happily wandered around the Memorial and enjoyed the afternoon together. Here are just a few of our favorite moments from our together. 

For the couple’s second engagement look, they chose a softer, more neutral color palette that still looks effortless and chic. Dressing to compliment and contrast with your surroundings during your engagement session is something we often stress and fondly appreciate for our couples! This is one of the many tips and advice we detail in our Engagement Style Guide and I’m so happy that Ismaela and Simon took our advice to heart!  Having a couple that has such incredible fashion sense and style was a huge factor and I’m so thankful for Ismaela and Simon!  A warm thank you to Blush by Makki for making Ismaela look and feel beautiful for her engagement session.  

A big thank you AdeOla of Statuesque Events and we can’t wait for Ismaela and Simon’s spring 2019 wedding.

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.
