Hillside Gardens Ceremony: Pam & Christy Part I

Happy Wednesday, blog world!  I am home from Adam and Aundie’s exquisite Austin, Texas wedding this past weekend, followed by three full days of teaching yearbook photography to 75 high school kids!  Needless to say, a massage and facial are in my future tonight. Woo!  But to get you through this week, here are some sweet detail shots from Pam and Christy’s commitment ceremony at Hillside Gardens.  Part II is filled with so many awesome emotions – just you wait!

Hillside Gardens is such a groovy venue – it’s a garden center/junkyard/wedding venue.  So cool.

Meanwhile, back in the bridal cottage…

This is one of Christy’s best friends.

And Pam’s BF. :-)

Pam and Christy got ready together which was pretty cool!

The views at Hillside are so pretty!

Loved these necklaces P&C wore of women dancing.

Both Pam and Christy each have two nephews and really involved them in the ceremony.

To  kick off the ceremony, the boys rang a big bell and then ran across the gardens to the Mission Impossible theme, ending at the alter with these signs:

Here we go!  Pam and her mom:

Stay tuned for a gorgeous ceremony and a blasty-blast of a reception!
