Silver Orchard Creative 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Chesapeake City, MD
  • Offer

Silver Orchard Creative is led by Christine Baumgarten, a Maryland-based wedding photographer serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and select East Coast destinations. Christine photographs couples who value emotional storytelling, refined aesthetics, and a calm, supportive experience. Her work blends romantic, film-inspired imagery with true-to-life color and a balance of editorial portraits and candid moments. She is deeply involved throughout the planning process, offering guidance on timelines, lighting, and flow so couples can feel confident, present, and fully supported on their wedding day.

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!

Jenifer Santo Photography was the perfect choice for our photo shoot. From our first interaction, Jenifer and her team were incredibly responsive, timely, and inquisitive about the specific photos we wanted to capture. They worked closely with us to understand our vision and even had patience with our rambunctious puppy to get the most amazing shots. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - every photo is a perfect shot that beautifully preserves the memories of that day.

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

Lindsay and Nathan are amazing!! We spent countless hours looking through different photographers until we came across Lindsay. Her style was exactly what we wanted and after our phone call we knew she was the one. We have received so many compliments about her and Nathan — from the photos and videos, to the way they work the wedding, to their professionalism. And on top of all that, she is quick and efficient in response and preparing our photos/videos. She was able to adjust quickly and smoothly when things didn’t go as planned during our wedding and was so efficient with taking our portraits that we were able to take additional photos with other family members, something we didn’t plan for but now get to cherish forever because of her. Would absolutely to recommend Lindsay and Nathan to everyone, they are worth every penny!!!

Grace was punctual and went straight to capturing our final moments of getting ready, and she gave us time to socialize and enjoy our guests. I loved her creativity and willingness to take unique shots. I would definitely recommend her for any couple's day!

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Meghan enough. We've just gotten our sneak peeks and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for our full gallery! Our photos are stunning, and she went above and beyond just photos. When I didn't know where to turn in some planning aspects, I asked if she had any advice and she always came through. She was so chill throughout everything. She knows weddings like the back of her hand. I never felt like we were on our own. She kept me cool and calm when some family members sparked some frustration. She kept us on track with our requested shot list but also gave us room to explore different poses and different locations at the venue. She was also great at giving my husband (!) and me directions on how to pose (we're quite awkward in front of the camera) and managed to make us look like complete naturals! She also brought along her amazing team so we got so many pictures and amazing candid moments. Just a few of the sneak peeks have already made me tear up. Our day was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to document it all. By the end of it all, Meghan felt more like a friend than just our photographer. THANK YOU MEGHAN!! YOU QUEEN!!

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam captured the most amazing photos for our wedding. Photos that make you wonder “how did he even do that”. His work goes so much further than the clicking of a camera. His own artistic expression was a gift to the entire event. And the professionalism he brought forth before, during, and after the event makes everything very simple to track, purchase, and share. If I could, I would use Sam’s photography skills at every life event.

On the day of our wedding, the photographers were attentive and made sure to capture all the special moments we wanted. The final photos were delivered quickly and exceeded our expectations - the images showcased the joy and love of our celebration. We are thrilled with the work Sparrow Photography did and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

I can’t begin to express how happy we were with Jennifer Mary photography for our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is Jen literally the nicest human, but her ability to make 2 camera shy people feel comfortable taking pictures is incredible. Jen and her team worked so well with our younger family members (we all know that can be tricky), and she worked with our event coordinator to make sure we could get sunset pictures without disrupting the timeline of events of the night. Her creativity and attention to detail is outstanding, we would choose her every time!

"Life-style + story-telling photographer capturing authentic imagery. For the timeless love stories, fleeting childhood memories, creatives and so much more." It doesn't take much to get to know me! Honestly, we'll probably be friends mid-way through your session. I pride myself on making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and I think that goes for all areas of my life. I love people and genuine connection! I always look forward to meeting my clients and building new relationships with each and every one of you. You are sure to always have me in your corner. Your investment in me is also my investment in you.

Sara did a wonderful job capturing our big day! She worked well with us and listened to what we wanted. She was easy to communicate with and we love looking at all of our beautiful photos even 5 years later.
