Andrea + James - Blackhawk Plaza Engagement Shoot

Andrea and James met because of bowling.  James happened to bowl on the same league as Andrea's mom, and when she introduced Andrea and James, they hit it off right away.  They started off as friends, and quickly grew into something more.  It's easy to see why-- James is always making Andrea laugh, and they care for each other deeply.

It didn't take long before Andrea knew James was the one, and she gave him a promise ring.  James had something up his sleeve, too, though, and not long after that, he took Andrea on a trip to Heavenly Ski Resort, since Andrea had never seen snow before.  As they were walking around, admiring the snowcapped mountains, James suddenly "tripped" onto one knee and proposed to Andrea.

Andrea and James both grew up in the Tri-Valley, and love the area.  So, for their engagement shoot, we headed to one of Andrea's favorite places, Blackhawk Plaza.

Andrea and James, it was so great to spend time with you two, and I'm honored to be capturing your wedding memories this spring!
