Sneak Peak - Engagement Photos

I have to admit I was really looking forward to my engagement pictures. For two reasons. 


Reason #1  Now I actually have some pictures of me and my hubby to be. 


Reason #2 I would have amazing Lillie B Photography to shoot my engagement pictures. http://www.lilliebphotography.blogspot.com/ Lillie is amazing. I have been secretly blog stalking her and "patiently" waiting for my turn. 


I grew up with Lillie back in the day when she was Lillie Frisch. In my eyes she is still a Junior and I am still a Freshman at Bonita Vista High. And believe me when I met up with her she still looks just as amazing as she looked then. 


Meet Lillie, my friend, and the photographer (and her handsome husband):

So Robert and I met up with Lillie on Saturday evening in Indian Wells, California for a 2 hour photoshoot at a Golf Course. She made the shoot soooo perfect and comfortable. 

Take a look at some of these pictures and let me know what you think :)

We are getting married!!!

This was one of the first photos we took :) And Robert of course cracks a joke and I couldn't hold it together.

Rob practices this pose a lot:) He even has a certain way he stands when he does this pose. Nonetheless he looks amazingly dreamy!!!

I really like my smile in this picture.

His eyes look amazing.

I wish we would of taken a picture of the view we were looking at. It was sooo pretty and it was a beautiful sunset. I could of just held on like this for awhile.

Besame Mucho!!!

So when I saw this picture first thought that came to my mind is "So thats what we look like when we kiss."

BTW Noah close your eyes when you see this picture:) hehehe!

This picture of Rob has to be my favorite picture!!! He looks so handsome! And his smile is sooo perfect. When I look at this picture I can't help but smile.

When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew.

This is just a sneak peak of some of our engagement pictures. Stay tuned for more photos :)

About my Team and Venue!!!

I feel like I have an amazing team of planners. So let me introduce you to my team:

First, my cousin Melody Corvalan, who is also my wedding planner. 

Melody has planned over 20 million weddings and before I met Robert I would always tell her "Someday you will plan my wedding."

Second, My Beautiful Mom, Mary Zelaya. 

She always takes time out of her busy schedule to take my random phone calls about wedding ideas.

Third, My Aunt, who is the visionary, Rachel Ruiz.

I love how she has these amazing creative ideas! BTW she has planned three weddings so far.

Fourth, Alyssa Zoe Zelaya, the babysitter who helps with Noah, Alec, and Diego.

Fifth, Audrey Zelaya, also the babysitter who helps with Noah, Alec, and Diego.

They all helped me narrow down my venues to three so that I wouldn't overwhelm Robert with all the choices. More importantly they helped me imagine what an empty room could possibly look like. 

So we chose The Westin Emerald Plaza in Downtown, San Diego.

This is the place Melody used to be a Catering Manager at. She is helping Robert and I have the wedding of our dreams!!! Thank you Melody!!! I can't thank you enough for helping us soooo much!

We Are Getting Married!

"Robert and I are getting married!" Ahhhh Just saying that still seems soooo surreal. Most say it won't set in till after the wedding. So I guess I will be excited for the next year to come.


I truly am so lucky to have met such an amazing man and truly blessed that he came into my life when he did. It was a time when I was okay with being single and finally getting used to answering the dreaded "Why aren't you married?" question. 


Hahaha! Okay all you mormon folks know I was becoming an old maid hehehe. So many of you, my beautiful friends, are married and have one beautiful girl (Jackie) or boy, and now are moving on to their second (Brandie) or third(Marissa???Any more additions???) or fourth (Christin...I know you have 5 but maybe quadruplets???). 


I am just starting out my life with the man I love and I am soooooo blessed to have learned so much from all of you. Especially from reading all of your blogs. So I have decided to start blogging about this journey. So feel free to chime in and give me some advice as I plan this wedding. I know a lot of you have that DIY talent.
