Elyse and Bo - engagement

we met elyse and bo early in the morning on a friends ranch, just outside santa maria, ca for their engagement shoot.


now, mind you elyse had said they are planning a wedding that celebrates their love of everything "cowboy". so their engagement shoot was to be no exception...it was helping their good friends with over 300 heads of cattle. everything from branding to immunizing...i mean everything! right out of the gate karen and i were on a ride like nothing else this side of los angeles.


i've been all over and back again and still never cease to be amazed of the color of our nation right in our own back yard. how much fun did we have.?! boy, what a ride. i was sooooo impressed with elyse and bo's riding skills. they made it look so effortless.


however; judging by their boots...they have done this a time or two. one of my favorite images that came out of our day with elyse and bo was an image that embodied beauty, strength and security...all in the arms of the man she loves. congratulations ya'll.
