It was a great day hanging out with these two.  Steven and Alyssa are very down to earth and the car ride down to Big Sur was filled with good music, great conversations and laughter.  While most think of Big Sur for it's beautiful coastline, there are a lot more to offer with historic trees, running creeks and other natural sites to view.  Having an engagement shoot there was a no-brainer as Steven, Ron and I visit these parts as often as we can.  The engagement photos have an honesty to the love Steven and Alyssa have for one another.  It's natural, simple and subtly artistic.  The colors and photo composition is also a detriment to their easy flowing relationship.  With their summer wedding soon approaching, we are excited to see these two live their lives together in happiness with more dogs to add to their family in the coming years. =)
