No one was thrown into the air at the fabulous wedding of former cheerleaders Pam & Erik, but these two wonderful people were so obviously over-the-moon happy to be marrying each other hearts were definitely jumping for joy.

Pam & Erik met in 2002, during their freshman year while cheering at Vanderbilt University. They are both incredibly warm, loving, family-oriented people who love life and each other with great exuberance.

We got to be there with Pam & Erik at their rehearsal dinner, which was held at the Belfry Inn in Sandwich. The inn is a converted church and provided a really elegant backdrop to the start of their fabulous wedding weekend! Here’s a collage featuring some highlights from the evening.

Their intimate, informal, yet incredibly elegant wedding was held the following day at Pam’s family’s summer home in Sandwich. The ceremony took place just before sunset, overlooking the backyard pond. It was an idyllic setting for these two Nashville-based lovebirds. Erik is in his third year of medical school at Vanderbilt, so Pam (who happens to be studying for her doctorate in physical therapy) and her mom, Wendy, did most of the planning, working closely with wedding planner Allison Liset to put together the most stunning garden party-themed reception.

The flowers, by Karen of Lilac Florals, were mostly white orchids (my personal favorite, right up there with gardenias and lilacs, which I love for their smells.) The colors for the wedding were navy blue and shades of brown and all of the details these stylish ladies selected were just gorgeous! A photographer’s dream for sure!

But, what really made this wedding beautiful was all of the love floating in between and around Pam & Erik. Here are some of our favorite shots and moments from their wonderful day!

Pam gets help putting on her G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S Monique Lhuillier gown. Stunning!!!

Keeping tradition, she puts on a sexy little garter! Fierce!

Taking a moment to reflect. Okay, I admit, we asked her to stand in front of the window and reflect, but does she look amazing or what?

Pam and some of her girls give it some serious sexy attitude. The girls’ hair and make up was done by the talented ladies at Wedding Tresses. Nice one ladies!

Pam & her folks share a little giggle before the ceremony.

Erik looking very dapper!

I love this stolen moment as Pam’s sister, Emily, and friend, Carla, check out whose arriving as the guests pour into the backyard for the start of the ceremony.

The ceremony…

I LOVE Pam’s face in this shot, right after she & Erik kiss and are announced hubby & wife…Can’t you just feel the joy!?!

And here are a few portraits of our new Mr. & Mrs….

We played around with some layering in this next one….using Photoshop we were able to create a pretty cool texture to the image that I think gives is a really romantic feel. What do you think?

And here’s one of my favorites. I just love how tenderly Erik is touching Pam’s face, and the way their fingers are intertwined. You can just tell their love runs deep!

And here’s our favorite shot from the day of Pam & Erik inside their fabulous tent before the start of the reception. Love it!! The tent is by Undercover Tent and Crazy Chefs did the delicious catering and the gorgeous cake was by the Queen of Sweet – Lisa Raffael at Delicious Desserts. Mmmm good!

We’d like to extend a great big thank you to all of the wonderfully talented and incredibly professional vendors who helped make our job once again, a cinch!

But, our biggest thanks go to Pam & Erik (and to their families) for inviting us into their lives with such open arms and open hearts! We have had such a great time getting to know you two over the past year. You compliment each other so well and the way you love each other is both beautiful and at the same time inspiring! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a special time in your lives. We hope these and the other photos to come serve as a wonderful reminder of all that is good in your lives. And Erik, we have no doubt that your parents were there with you & Pam, in spirit, beaming with pride at the man you have become and all of the wonderful choices you have made in your life. We love you guys!! Chris & Andy xo
