Elegant Ballroom Wedding at the Fairmont Luxury Resort in Newport Beach by Lin and Jirsa Photography

This elegant ballroom wedding speaks for itself.. This wedding that took place at the Fairmont Luxury Resort is a dashing wedding eye candy. Masterfully captured by Lin and Jirsa Photography, the wedding is an ode to great planning, styling, creativity and most importantly, love! We admire weddings that combine multiple styles. This wedding is both fun and sophisticated, bridesmaids have so much fun posing in their custom made shorts, and the bride is giggly and excited in the photographs. There's definitely an atmosphere of bliss and fun at the wedding and how fun is the father and daughter dance photographs?  As for us, we fell in love with the couple's bunny ring holder, so whimsical and so unique! The last but not the least, we want to say thank you to the bride & the groom for creating this spectacular wedding and sharing it with us! Cheers to the newlyweds!

About their wedding: "For as long as I can even remember, I have been dreaming of my wedding day, but it wasn't until I met you (Ryan) that this dream could actually come true" - straight from my heart and vows. 

It's not everyday you marry the man of your dreams and celebrate with your most favorite people, August 24, 2013 was my lucky day, the day I made a lifelong vow to my  best friend and better half. I thought I was going to have severe post wedding depression, but after it was all said and done, the day was perfect & I wouldn't of changed a single thing. It was my dream come true. The day started off with a private yoga session with my best friends. It was the perfect way to start our day. Just down the hall from each other Ryan and I's getting ready rooms were filled with laughs, loves, jokes, champagne, whiskey, makeup and hair spray!

Dress, shoes, jewelry, and garter was on and I was ready to see my soon to be husband & bunny love. * Our nickname for each other is Bunny, so we incorporated it throughout the wedding #bunnywedding2013*  Walking up to him, my heart and soul were bursting at the seams with so much love and extreme happiness. The moment was so special. He twirled me around, kissed me and complimented me, letting me know that I was the most gorgeous bride ever. After a couple of photos, we meet our amazing bridal party and off we go to UCI ( where Ryan attends MBA school) for our couple and bridal party photo sessions. "The limo was a blast", is an understatement! After the fun photo op at UCI, we head to Our Lady Queen of Angels to become Mr. and Mrs. Hanson. The ceremony was everything we ever envisioned and more! Heartfelt words and moments filled the church. Blessed is the one word that comes to mind.

After we said our "I do's", it was now PARTY TIME at the Fairmont Resort in Newport Beach. We fell in love with their bamboo terrace and the ballroom with the gorgeous chandelier from the minute we laid our eyes on it. The night started with a fun grand entrance with a chest bump ( my idea), followed by a group hug and chant with our incredible bridal party on the dance floor. Highlights of the night were the  father/daughter choreographed dance to a really fun mix and my bouquet toss where I managed to break a little of the chandelier with my powerful toss! Luckily no one got hurt and we weren't charged for it. The whole night was perfect, filled with drinks, cheers, laughs, tears, glow sticks, limbo and lots of dancing! We couldn't of asked for a more perfect day and night with our family and friends. It was a dream come true and we re live the most special day of our lives through the photos and video that were beautifully & magically captured. HUGE thank you to our wonderful photo and cinema team, Lin and Jirsa Photography & Elman Adam Films- The Bunny Hansons love you! So CHEERS to life, love and being married!
