St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church Texas - Christel & Michael
A timeless celebration of love and faith at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church, where tradition meets heartfelt vows.
About the Couple
The Proposal
Michael and I met on a dating app called Baklava, may of last year, just like most couples these days :).
Jan 1st, 2024 my family were visiting me, so Michael took the chance to propose and have both families be part of it. We're both big on family, and are mainly doing a wedding "for them". We're both introverts, we would have been fine getting married at a church just the two of us :)
Why do you want to capture your wedding on video?
The ceremony is traditional, it's means a lot to us that we're getting married at the church. At the reception we do wanna make sure that our family is being captured.
Why did you choose us?
We found Topher Films on Instagram and went through your portoflio, it looked nice. Also, because you've already done a coptic orthodox wedding.
You guys? …What do you do?..How do you spend your days?.. What’s important in life?
Michael is in real estate and construction, he spends his day on the road and/or on the phone. I'm a software developer, I spend my day in my office and working out. We both value life and quality time with each other.
The Venue. Why did you choose it above anywhere else?
Boxwood manor. It has a barn vibe, not a traditional venue. It's beautiful enough so we don't need to decorate much.
What experience do you want to give to your guests?
Fun and joyous time and a glimpse of our culture.
Dates are limited for 2025-2026 and bookings are on a first come, first served basis. Please contact us below for more detailed information on our wedding packages and availability.
