My opinion, you both screwed up.
She, because she shouldn't have looking into your personal things without permission.
You, because you didn't think about her feelings before sending the pictures.
Of the two, I think your screwup is pretty minor, and hers moderate. You should apologize for doing something that bothered her. Not that what you did was necessarily wrong in a moral sense. However, as a married guy, I've found it's important to try to avoid doing things that might upset my wife if she found out about them. This involves just a 'what would my wife think if she knew I did this?' question. It doesn't mean you don't do it, it just means you think about her feelings, and the consequences, before you do it. And ideally talk to her about it, instead of letting her find out.
She obviously shouldn't have pried into your e-mail, but from her point of view, I can sympathise - she came upon something that looked like you might be (for instance) cheating on her, and she investigated further. She shouldn't have done it, but I'm sure the temptation was very hard to resist.
The key thing to do: talk to her about it. Apologize for not taking her feelings into account, and tell her that you understand why she pried into your e-mail, but that you feel very strongly about it.
