Beautiful, fine art wedding and boudoir photography for the modern and wildly romantic
Serving Virginia & the Mid Atlantic.
My wedding style is a beautiful blend of everything I have learned over the last decade. Understated elegance and deeply romantic imagery with a refined art aesthetic that is greatly influenced by my love of fashion editorials.
I create soulful, tender, and evocative imagery that captures your joyful and spontaneous moments throughout your wedding day. These images are the beginning of your blossoming legacy together as a couple. Documenting your day with a refined classic approach ensures your heirloom imagery stands the test of time and still looks as beautiful today as it will decades on.
When I am not serving my couples, you can find me happily at home with my husband, three kids, and our sweet rescue dog, Rugby. I was born and raised in Southeastern Canada. I love traveling, bonfires with my family, fashion, and making my legendary Virgin Island-inspired Mojitos.

Malie and her husband were absolutely phenomenal! I am so blessed that they shared and captured our wedding day experience! Malie is a joy to work with, she is so lovely, friendly and accommodating. I truly felt at ease with her. My husband and I had our memories snapped in a beautiful collage of photos, I am so impressed. While we are very simple and down-to-earth people, our photos look editorial and magnificent Marie Violet Photography was recommended to me by a very close friend and the stars were aligned...Malie was (unbelievably!) available to capture our wedding day. I honestly believe this was fate as I don't think our day could have been captured any more perfectly. I am so excited to have her capture our future memories beyond just our wedding! Her photos are beautiful, timeless, and will bring a smile to your face!

Malie is both a wonderful photographer and person. I cannot recommend her enough. From our initial FaceTime date, I knew Malie had to document and capture our big day. Her quality work, positive and fun personality, as well as ensuring you feel your best in front of the camera, it has been a true joy to work with Malie. When we met for the first time for our engagement photos, it felt like we had known her for years (including steaming my dress in her hotel bathroom).Our engagement photos were incredible- as well as the overall experience. We looked like models (naturally a bit silly and awkward and you would never know). She knew exactly the look and vibe we were going for and nailed it! All of our family and friends are also obsessed with our photos! They are honestly draw-dropping gorgeous. Malie is so passionate about her craft. It comes across when speaking with her and watching her work. This passion is reflected in her keenness and attention to detail, as well as how much fun she has when working with you!

We love our engagement shoot photos, dramatic, powerful, and editorial style, but we adore our entire wedding and reception collection (soft, romantic, refined art style) just as much! We had a pretty intricate outdoor Hindu wedding ceremony and a reception later in the evening, and Malie managed to capture it all! If you are concerned about hiring a wedding photographer who can manage the details of an Indian wedding, Malie has got you covered. She captured every detail of our South Indian ceremony, from the toe rings to the seven steps, with ease and expertise. I gave her an extensive shot list before the wedding (because she has an incredibly organized system to ensure you get every shot you're looking for!) One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Malie! She went the extra mile for us in so many ways, and we are so grateful! Thanks for a beautiful Marie Violet experience.

Malie was an absolute dream to work with! My photos are stunning. They look like they could line the pages of a magazine. When I saw her work on her website, I knew she would be perfect for my wedding day. Her photos are editorial, romantic, elegant, and a work of art. I can’t recommend her enough! I did not have a typical wedding. We did an American-style ceremony, then an Indian wedding and reception on the same day, at three different locations. Although it was a 15-hour day, Malie was so professional, prepared, and easy to work with. she virtually met with me countless times before the ceremony and developed a wedding day timeline I could share with my other vendors and family. It was a high-stress occasion, and she was spectacular! I had so many family members and guests approach me to tell me how wonderful she was! I was so blessed to have her there throughout the whole process. Furthermore, Malie will go above and beyond to make sure you cherish your photos forever. Malie discussed the wedding vision with me many times and got to know my husband and me personally to know what we were looking for. Not to mention, I am the most prominent critic when it comes to photography. I had a specific vision for lighting and detail. Malie was more than happy to oblige every request and was very patient with me. I highly recommend Malie; she’s exceptional!

Malie is a phenomenal photographer and a lovely person to have on your wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. She was so creative, kind, caring, and bubbly—it was like having a close friend by your side all day! Also, your photographer is the person you'll spend the most time with on your wedding day (perhaps even more time than with your spouse!), so it's crucial to have someone who makes you feel special. That's Malie. The first time we chatted, it was like catching up with an old friend. Her friendliness, immediate understanding of our wedding "vision," and genuine excitement to be part of our big day immediately convinced me.
I had a specific vision of the wedding photos I wanted: light, airy, natural, and romantic. And Malie executed this vision perfectly. We were married at a small inn in upstate New York, and Malie flawlessly captured the natural beauty of the outdoor setting. As for the photos of my husband and me, they are the most beautiful and authentic images of us we'll ever have; I'll treasure them forever.

She brings a second photographer so that, at the end of your wedding, you have hundreds of photos of you as a couple, plus hundreds of candids of your family and friends enjoying the day. Seeing these lets you relive your wedding day and glance at moments you might've missed as a busy couple. Malie listens to her couples and takes the time to understand their vision for their wedding and hopes for the day. She is also a fountain of advice and wisdom that she'll generously share with her couples. No question or idea is too small. From lovely bridal getting-ready moments to romantic post-ceremony sunset photos to genuinely happy wedding party photos, the images Malie captured on our wedding day were exactly what we hoped for.

Malie was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to all of my friends and family for their future wedding needs! She had many unique ideas for our engagement shoot, and the photos look as if they were a page in Vogue Magazine. Our wedding photos are stunning and timeless, just as I hoped for my wedding day. I love looking at them over and over to relive the magical day. Malie helped us put together our wedding day timeline, and not only was this extremely helpful, but it was also gorgeous! Marie Violet is for you if you are looking for elegant, timeless, and romantic photos!
Kate & Stewart
Malie and her team were an absolute joy to work with! She was so personable, and her high energy made the wedding party feel comfortable in front of the camera. She and her team beautifully captured every detail of our wedding from start to finish, and we are so grateful to have the best collection of wedding photos to cherish and to look back on to relive our special day. You won't regret booking with Marie Violet Photography for your big day!
