a botanist t hat has a passion for t he preser vation of nature and florals. She wants to create a wedding day t hat celebrates her love of flowers and plants by showcasing t hem as t he ar t t hat she believes t hey are. She loves vintage botanical prints and old floral f ield guides and wanted to incorporate her love for t hose in her paper and design elements.

CHRISTINA CHOU & PHILLIP WEEKS
Mustard Seed Photography

hristina and Phillip are both pharmacists, and they met while she was doing a rotation at Memorial Hermann Memorial City. She shadowed Phillip around the ER as part of the rotation. They got through the rotation together with some awkward moments, but they kept it professional. She remembers thinking on her last day that she would probably never see him again. A few weeks after the rotation had ended, Phillip found and messaged her on Facebook, started talking, and never stopped! Their wedding day was a casual celebration with one hundred of their closest family and friends. It was a sweet, springtime garden wedding just as they had envisioned. Phillip and Christina both loved spending time with their family. Christina’s mother passed away several years ago, and she made sure they had a framed picture of her at the wedding so she could be there in spirit.
