Amazing Photographer!!

Christine is AMAZING! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Christine took our engagement photos and captured our wedding day. Our pictures turned out incredible! Christine is the nicest person and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we ever made. We will forever cherish the amazing photos she captured of us. Thank you for everything Christine!

Highly recommend

We were thrilled with the wedding photography services provided by Silver Orchard Creative. From the very first interaction, the communication was prompt and effective throughout the entire process. After testing out a few different photographers, Silver Orchard Creative stood out as the clear best choice. The bundle deals they offer provide excellent value, and the final photos were absolutely stunning. For a day that goes by in the blink of an eye, Silver Orchard Creative gave us beautiful lasting memories that we will cherish forever. The photographer made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, and her great artistic taste really shone through in the photos. We highly recommend Silver Orchard Creative to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.

Christine is the BEST!!

Christine was the very first vendor we hired- even before we had our wedding date set! Her photography is masterful and gorgeous, and we are so grateful to have worked with her! She’ll cheer you on as you’re taking photos and is the ultimate hype person. Our guests commented on how organized, professional and upbeat she is, and we agree! :) Thanks for capturing moments from our big day so wonderfully, Christine!

Perfect pick

Christine was excellent from the booking to the engagement session to the wedding day! She was super helpful with poses, directing us and making us feel comfortable. She was also quick to pivot on the wedding day when it started raining! I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her for future photo shoots!

Photographer Turned Friend

Christine was our engagement and wedding photographer in 2022 and we can’t recommend her enough. In fact, we have! Several friends have now worked with Christine as well.
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is—not only as a photographer but as a human too. Her photography talent is beyond compare, as you can see throughout her Instagram account. But beyond that, hiring Christine adds another person to your corner. Someone else who’s rooting for you and your marriage. She loves love! Not only will she take amazingly beautiful photographs of your day, but she’ll capture precious memories and tell your love story through her photography.

Logistically, Christine and her team at Silver Orchard Creative are a dream to work with. They’re timely, communicative, and collaborative. They want to make your day special . . . and they’ll catch every logistical detail to make that possible. They’re also a great resource for other wedding-related vendors or advice you may need.

We look forward to hiring Christine to photograph all our life events for years and years to come! If you’re searching for an engagement, wedding, or life-event photographer, choose Christine and Silver Orchard Creative. You won’t regret it!

Wonderful to work with

Christine was simply wonderful to work with! I am always nervous about taking photographs-there was even a phase where I refused to stand in photos cos I was tired of photos. But you can't go through your wedding day without taking pictures, and I am so glad that I found Christine on wedding wire! She was super helpful through the whole process, talking with her through the planning helped put us both at ease-we didn't need to worry about a thing. The second shooter she hired-Julia, was a perfect match. So many photos of the same moment from multiple vantage points, and we loved them all. They both worked well with our littles (flower girls and ring bearers), and make all of our family and wedding party laugh. Christine always had a smile on her face, and helped us feel excited even when we were tired-and I'm sure she was exhausted by the time she got home. Can not say enough good things about working with Christine and her team at SOC!

Best decision and investment we made for our wedding!

Where do I begin?! Our experience with Christine has been an absolute dream from day one. From our initial consultation to our wedding day last month, Christine has been beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. We will absolutely be returning to her as we hope to capture more memorable moments in the future!

Having Silver Orchard Creative be a part of our wedding journey was one of the best, and arguably most important, decisions we could have made. She helped us create a timeline for our big day and was available to give advice and suggestions outside the scope of photography. I was nervous about our engagement session since my husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She instantly made us feel comfortable and taught us all the best angles, poses, dips, and twirls that we were able to practice before our big day. We had a blast!

I had planned to do a Bridal Portrait session with Christine after my hair & makeup trial (HIGHLY recommend booking a session after your trial!) but since my dress wasn't ready yet, we opted for a Boudoir shoot instead. I was once again nervous since I hadn't done anything like that before, but we had SO. MUCH. FUN! If I could start off each day with a Boudoir shoot I would. Christine kept the mood light and fun, and helped me feel confident and beautiful. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable through every step, and ensured that my images are kept private and only shared photos with my permission.

We got married on September 24th, and as soon as Christine arrived I felt calm and collected- she kept us organized and on time, all while capturing every special moment along the way. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos in a few weeks!

Christine goes above and beyond and is a true expert in the industry. We came across her while in search of a wedding photographer, but she became our "life" photographer! We have engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos behind us, and much more to come. I can't thank you enough, Christine!

Best wedding photographer ever!

Christine photographed our January 2022 wedding at Overhills Mansion in Catonsville, and we can't recommend her enough!

I actually know Christine since we went to the same college. She also photographed my best friend's wedding, and she did such a great job that we knew we had to hire her. My husband and I both love the quality and style of her images and just her overall vibe.

After meeting with her over Zoom, it was clear we found a great match. She took our engagement photos in Alexandria, which came with the package we chose. It was great to practice posing and just getting a feel for working with her before our wedding. We had a great time with Christine and the photos turned out amazing!

As we got closer to the wedding, Christine and her assistant, Megan, communicated with us to make sure we were all on the same page with the timeline and all the details. Christine even created and shared some additional resources — like a wedding details checklist — to help us out with our planning.

We had the best time with her on our wedding day too. My husband and I were both worried about the weather because the forecast said it would rain/snow. But Christine contacted us ahead of time and let us know our options right away. She eased our worries and made sure we still had wonderful photos despite the dreary weather. The photos were absolutely beautiful! She also made sure we followed our timeline!

It was such a pleasure working with Christine. She's a pro who is a master of her craft and a true professional all-around. We will treasure our photos forever!

Amazing experience!

I have known Christine for a long time and I knew that when it came time for my wedding that I wanted her to be our photographer. She is a super awesome person and her professionalism and the quality of her work speaks volumes!
She shot both our engagement session and our wedding. Both experiences were amazing. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the process that it felt quite natural to pose and smile for a period of time. For our wedding, she took every advantage of our waterfront location, using the pier for photos and even getting sunset photos on the water. Christine got all of the photos we wanted during our wedding. We are only a week past our wedding so we do not have our full gallery yet but the sneak peek photos we received were everything we dreamed of!

Best. Photos. Ever

I really can't express enough how much I recommend Christine and Silver Orchard Creative. I met Christine by accident when picking up some wedding décor, and I am so glad I did! First, I want to start by saying that working with Christine was comfortable every step of the way. Before our engagement shoot, I was feeling very self conscience about being in full body photos- it's not my favorite place to be, but within 5 minutes, I had forgotten all of that. She knows how to pose you and your significant other for flawless pictures! Even my husband, who has one photo look and pose, looks natural and romantic, and like he had been taking professional pictures for years. On our wedding day, Christine kept us on time while getting every single photo we wanted- even the ones that involved a small hike to a nearby creek. And if you want to know how far she'll go to keep you looking your best on your wedding day, she stepped in to counteract a very wet, muddy, excited puppy we met along the way who came straight for me and my white dress. She even had the paw prints on her own dress to prove it. Our photos are flawless. I have over 2000 photos to figure out which ones to print and honestly, I don't know how I'll do it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
