About Silver Orchard Creative
Silver Orchard Creative
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.
Silver Orchard Creative offers a deeply personalized, experience-first approach. Christine accepts a limited number of weddings each year to ensure focused attention and intentional care for every couple. She goes beyond documenting the day, acting as a steady presence and quiet advocate—guiding portraits naturally, anticipating moments, and protecting space for genuine emotion. With experience photographing multi-day celebrations and cultural and religious weddings, Christine creates images that feel elegant, honest, and meaningful long after the wedding day has passed. Discounted Travel for New Jersey, Vermont, and Connecticut Weddings.

Book her.
I was given Christine's name from a friend for my wedding. I thoroughly combed her Instagram to view her previous photos and immediately fell in love. She doesn't excellent job capturing the light and airy look that I desired. She did an amazing job with my multicultural wedding and even stayed a little bit late so that she could capture the traditional celebration. I loved her work so much. I hired her to take my pregnancy photos, my daughter's newborn photos, her 6-month photos and will book her for her one year birthday photos. She really listens to what you want in your photos and for years I've wanted a Golden Glow. Christine checks the weather and make sure to adjust dates so that we can capture that glow! Book her. You won't be disappointed!

Engagement photoshoot
We had THE BEST experience with Christine! From the very first moment, she made us feel completely at ease. She is incredibly professional, friendly, and easygoing. She guided us with clear instructions and gave us the confidence to just be ourselves. We never imagined our photos would turn out so beautiful! I’m absolutely in love with them! I couldn’t recommend her more if I could.

The Vendor We Still Brag About Years Later!
We hired Christine of Silver Orchard Creative for our engagement and wedding photography in 2022 and our experience with her was an absolute dream from day one. From our initial consultation to our wedding day, she was beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. Choosing her was one of the best and most important decisions we made during our entire planning process. We were nervous going into our engagement session since we had never taken professional photos before, but Christine instantly made us feel comfortable. She taught us all the best angles, poses, dips, and twirls and turned the whole experience into something fun and memorable. Those photos are still some of our favorites. When our wedding day arrived, Christine brought such a calming presence. As soon as she walked in, I felt collected and at ease. She kept us organized and on time while capturing every special moment along the way. She offered timeline guidance, shared helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and truly went above and beyond in every way. Looking back at our gallery, we are reminded not just of how the day looked, but how it felt, and that is something we will always treasure. Christine became so much more than our wedding photographer. She became our “life” photographer. After our engagement and wedding photos, we knew we would return to her again and again. Now, in 2026, we are thrilled to be scheduling a family session with her as we begin our next chapter as parents. It feels so special to have the same person who captured the start of our marriage now helping us document this new season of life. We cannot thank you enough, 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 amazing! Highly recommend her
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!
