AN EVENING BRIDAL PORTRAIT AT THE HERMITAGE MUSEUM
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

A perfect blend of soft and feminine for Ashley’s sun drenched late afternoon bridal portrait session at the Hermitage Museum in Norfolk, Virginia. Ashley wore a breathtaking fitted lace David Tutera Wedding Dress wedding gown from Ava Clara Couture Bridal and she looked absolutely exquisite. We wandered around the grounds of the Hermitage Museum and enjoyed the golden light of the afternoon sun.


The delicate lace cathedral veil she wore was a perfect pairing for her romantic inspired wedding gown and bridal portrait session.

Towards the end of her bridal session, we also took advantage of the gorgeous late afternoon sun and included her super sweet husband, James for a few couples portraits at the Musuem. The Hermitage Museum and Gardens is one of my absolute favorite venues within Hampton Roads, Virginia for couples portraits, bridal portrait sessions and of course, beautiful weddings too!.

One of my favorite images from our couples portrait session with Ashley & James was this candid moment where James bent down and fixed his bride’s gown. It made my heart melt. Moments like these are beautiful and so worthy to remember and cherish.

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.
