Silver Orchard Creative

r work is filled with love and pride for capturing your day perfectly. Her images capture moments, memories, and emotions so thoroughly that it is impossible to stop scrolling. That being said, if you are like me photos are only one part of what you are looking for in a photographer. A dream photographer takes amazing pictures, but also has a wealth of knowledge to ensure you look effortlessly cool in said pictures, the ability to help the other stressors of the day melt away, and a personality that you want to hang around all day on your big day!! Christine has all of this and more. She can make even the most awkward people (us) look effortlessly cool, she talks through your schedule in details ahead of time so that there is no need to stress, and she keeps everything light and fun the entire day! I highly recommend booking with Christine! We were so excited when our pictures came in that we are kicking off creating a heirloom album with her and can’t wait!

otographer 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.

If you’re searching for an engagement, wedding, or life-event photographer, choose Christine and Silver Orchard Creative. You won’t regret it!

of the wedding day timeline, had impeccable suggestions and has an extensive experience of weddings where her advice is truly all you need. And now, Christine is family. Our wedding was perfectly captured - her photos tell a story, and I’m SO happy I chose her to tell ours!! So if you made it to the end of this review, don’t look any further. If you’re looking for professionalism, top tier quality and a photographer who truly cares about capturing the feeling of your day, Christine is the one!

ing 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!

uch 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!

r 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!

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.

someness. I highly recommend Silver Orchard Creative for your photography needs. My fiance and I are not usually big photo people, so we knew we needed to find a special photographer who could bring out our kind of goofy and very loving relationship. Christine met with us over a video call to get to know us and our needs, and that meeting alone helped us to better envision our wedding day and priorities. Our engagement session at a local park was so much more fun than we ever expected. Christine's great sense of humor and attention to detail make planning and taking photos fun and time-efficient. She shares a helpful engagement session guide with clients that helped us choose outfits and prepare for the session. Most importantly, her photography is gorgeous, with beautiful colors, creative composition, and our true-to-life happy smiles brought out by her cues. Thank you, Christine and Silver Orchard Creative! We can't wait for you to photograph our wedding!

s. Her pictures are amazing and she really listens to you. I hired her again for our holiday shoot. To any engaged couples, I always recommend her. She is worth every penny.

poses and makes sure you are comfortable in front of the camera. On your wedding day she shows up early and walks through the venue and surroundings so she knows the best angles and shots to make the couple POP! She honors the couples' wishes and what they want, to her best ability. The time flies by fast when you are preparing with her and by the time the session is up, you want to keep going!
