I'm so glad you have inquired with Silver Orchard Creative, I'm Christine. I hope to meet soon, face-to-face for a Discovery Call so I can learn more about your unique vision and how I can capture your story. We'll review what events you want covered and how you would like to print your images, and any questions you have. I can customize any length of hours and type of coverage but use the information on this webpage as a guide. As always, please feel free to ask any questions-from here on you, you have a team mate for your wedding planning (and she happens to take great photos!)

Allow me to introduce myself
Hi, I'm Christine! For over a decade I have been capturing love on the East Coast. I have the honor of working with amazing couples like you. I know that you care as much about the guest experience as you do the florals. You know that the beautiful day you are creating is just the backdrop to the vows you will speak. That you love the dramatic, editorial portrait as much as the image of him tucking your hair back tenderly. My goal is to be your biggest supporter, ally, and friend while capturing the love story that you will one day leave to inspire future generations.
Christine is gifted at setting those around her at ease. Her gentle confidence allows you to indulge in the moment, assured she is taking care of you at every step of your journey.
“From our initial consultation to our wedding day, Christine has been beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. Having her be a part of our wedding journey was one of the best, and arguably most important, decisions we could have made. She goes above and beyond and is a true expert in the industry. She has became our “life” photographer!”
- Katrina Hula

Engagement Sessions
A complimentary session that is included for every wedding couple
This session is part of the secret of amazing, natural wedding photos. Many couples think this is only useful for creating images for their save-the-dats or wedding website but this is actually valuable practice time. For many couples, this is their first time in front of a professional camera and almost certainly the first time someone will ask you to kiss, twirl, hug, cuddle, dip, and romance your partner in-front of a camera. You will be amazed how quickly this time flies and how much fun you will have. On the wedding day, you'll feel so much more at ease and be able to move through various poses so much more quickly.

Bridal Boudoir
Christine's boudoir photos capture the graceful sensuality inherent to every woman. The images highlight your softness and femininity while also showcasing your bold and radiant confidence.
This session is carefully crafted to compliment your wedding images. We recommend white lingerie and light filled rooms.. The images are more sensual than overtly sexual and are an excellent option for those new to boudoir. You can do the whole session covered (with silk loungewear) or you can go completely nude, or somewhere in-between- you decide what you are comfortable with. Images are kept private unless explicit permission is given for select images.

Albums
What will you leave behind as your Legacy of Love?
After your wedding, their is one final step and that is to print your photos in your wedding album. Our hand-crafted albums are built to outlive us, to be passed down through the generations. It wasn't until I discovered my great-grandparen'ts wedding photos that I realized how valuable a printed image can be. However, life is incredibly busy so I always recommend you add albums to your package now so that as soon as your wedding is done, I will automatically start designing your album. You can also add a duplicate mini album to gift to your parents.
