“The event was amazing!!!” said out hostess Sarah. “It was like walking into the most elaborate wedding and partying with 375 of your closest friends, yet not knowing a soul.”

Sarah explained that the color scheme for the event, held at The W Atlanta Midtown, was extra unique – bright yellow, lime, orange, silver and polka dot. Plus, although the wedding was fake, the Bride and the Groom were real. Heather and Ryan were celebrating their 8th year together.

“Their vows brought me to tears,” Sarah said. “I love seeing married couples so in love.”

“I really loved the vow renewal aspect,” said Johanna, another ShutterBooth hostess there for the event. “It felt very much like working a real wedding, because I felt emotionally invested in the couple. They were lovely and it was special to help make their day even more fun!”

ShutterBooth was in on the party, of course. We created a custom backdrop for the event in the fun, spring color scheme and the guests loved being able to post and share via ShutterShare, our social media integration add-on. This meant they could post the photo booth pics to their news feeds instantly.

The Big Fake team staged an Instagram takeover, so we’ve got those images to share here on our own feed – who else is obsessed with these fun, fresh details?
