IN YOUR BEAUTY | AN INTIMATE + ROMANTIC BESPOKE VIRGINIA BEACH BRIDAL BOUDOIR PORTRAIT

The beauty of bridal boudoir photography makes my heart swoon, it’s everything that I love, it’s intimate, romantic, has a fine art feeling and mood that surrounds the portrait. I absolutely LOVE bespoke boudoir portraiture for this reason. With each session we create a once in a lifetime experience for our brides. The process of curating a bespoke bridal boudoir experience involves a number of factors, and I love to guide and assist our brides with every facet of creating their dream boudoir session. We first begin with the boudoir wardrobe, then together, we cultivate the look and feel they want to convey throughout their boudoir session, a romantic, intimate and fine art boudoir portrait experience is usually what our brides adore most. After wardrobe, we begin with makeup + styling inspiration (Oh how we love Pinterest boards for these!) and of course we discuss the pretty high heels and all the accessories that they want to bring to their session. (I adore ALL the pretty, gorgeous stilettos) I like to think that Sarah Jessica Parker + I would be the closest BFF’s with our love affair of stilettos + of course, New York City!

For our lovely bride to be, Jennifer, we curated her boudoir session with classic and refined bridal elements including her gorgeous wedding veil and her bridal inspired white lingerie pieces. These elements helped to create the intimate + romantic feeling that she desired for her bridal boudoir portraits.

Jennifer selected a beautiful bridal inspired white lace bodysuit from Victoria Secret that we paired with her wedding veil. She looked stunning!

Jennifer selected these gorgeous “Tansy” Badgley Mischka bridal shoes for her wedding day. Aren’t they just so lovely? I instantly fell in love with them!

These magnolia blooms we had in the studio worked out perfectly for Jennifer’s bespoke inspired bridal boudoir session!

Every woman has a wild side and we unleashed Jennifer’s provocative side with this gorgeous black lace long sleeve bodysuit from Victoria Secret.

A special thank you to our incredible Virginia Beach Boudoir photography glam squad for making Jennifer look and feel beautiful throughout her bespoke bridal boudoir portrait session!

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.
