You dream and dream and dream, yet nothing ever seems to go the way you dream. You spend your whole life imaging how things will be: where you will go to college, what career you’ll have, how you will meet that future husband. And then, when you least expect it: he’s there. Standing in front of you in Tel Aviv, Israel.
And with the world at your fingertips, dreams in your pocket, you suddenly are twice as strong as you were before all because a love without limits was born. It’s a love that breaks rules — one that won’t take “no” for an answer. It’s a love that has extraordinary patience for the process, yet knows when to follow its gut. And you see, there’s just something contagious about an unrestrained love. You can’t help but want to follow it. You’ll do whatever it takes to see that love and those dreams succeed.
Kevin and Eryn were married on the eve of December 31st in her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina. Surrounding them and their future was a wedding party of 20 of their biggest followers. And with the supporting love of their friends and family, Kevin took her hand, knowing confidently that regardless of how their dreams turned out, they would not be led astray.
Kevin and Eryn… I {heart} you. Thank you for sharing your lives with me… I am blessed.

Eryn had the most stunning dress. Her mother bought it for her without Eryn ever seeing it!
Patiently waiting while her curly mane was straightened piece by piece.
Hair product designers are so creative!
Kevin’s sister, Lisa, was one of the 20 followers, aka wedding party.
Eryn had the greatest group of girls!
Choreographer Carly stopped by to helped the girls with their dance to be preformed at the reception.
Eryn you are so stunning!!
Love this one through the veil!
The handsome groom!
I loved that Kevin got ready with his parents!
Meanwhile, the groomsmen were working hard to get cleaned up:
Ready for the groomsmen gifts and pictures.
Thirteen groomsmen, ladies and gentlemen!
Parking garages are my new favorite thing. Look at these boys!
Kevin had the BEST groomsmen! I have never worked with such a cooperative and cute bunch. ;-)
Love this candid!

One of my favorite weddings to be a part of, how fun to have such a special event on New Year’s Eve.
Wonderful photos!
great pictures
Wish I could’ve been there but you two look so happy and I wish you a wonderful life together.
Rene – you captured their beautiful wedding so well! Eryn & Kevin are lucky to have you fill in their memories of those special days.
Rene, Eryn and Kevin were so lucky having you record the love, fun and happiness of not only the wedding, but before and after. Seeing the two of them getting dressed for the wedding,gives me an opportunity to go to the Department of Redundancy Department and recall St Paul’s checklist for getting dressed.
St. Paul’s CHECKLIST. . . When you get up in the morning and look in your wardrobe and if you wonder what to wear, begin like this. For underwear put on compassion. As a shirt or blouse put on generosity. For a skirt or trousers put on humility, for a pullover put on gentleness. For socks put on patience. When you choose the shoes you are going to wear put on the left shoe of tolerance and the right shoe of forgiveness. Lastly when you’re putting on your coat, put on love. ERYN & KEVIN we want you to live happily ever after. SO TAKE HEED OF Paul’S ADVICE TO put on the Inner Clothes of compassion, generosity, humility, gentleness, patience, tolerance, forgiveness and love.
Ahh I love them!! I want to see more!
These are wonderful photos that capture such a special day. Congratulations you two!
Eryn and Kevin–these are so good!!
Thank you for the piano shot…these are beautiful!
wonderful choice of flowers, Eryn. I also love the use of the State House in the background.
Great photos Eryn and Kevin.
We were able to show my parents (Kevin’s grandparents) all the photos via a trip to the Yakima Public Library to use their computers and they really marveled at how beautiful and happy everyone was. Thank you, Rene, you have a wonderful talent.
Eryn we love looking through these photos. I’m excited to see them all!
I feel so blessed to have been a part of all this, and had so much fun with you guys.
So much fun with you guys
