Recent October Events
We have a huge shout out to all of the October weddings and events since out last ShutterUpdate.
Perhaps our most festive event, The Dugan Wedding captured all of the best traits of fall on October
8th. Hosted by the Virginia Beach Yacht Club and Black Iris Events, this autumnal celebration
joined Crystal and Dalton with some of the most original moments yet. Halloween fever began for
Shutterbooth at the Dugan wedding which exhibited classy pumpkin décor, fall colored center pieces,
and an amazing skull ice sculpture complete with a misty fog. Yes, you read it right, Ice Art made an
impression with the piece which captured the personalities of Crystal and Dalton perfectly. Congrats to
the lovely couple!
The following weekend was full of exciting events beginning with a celebration of grandeur on the 15th,
Hannah and Zachary’s B’Nai Mitzvah. Decked out in red carpets and velvet ropes, the Virginia Beach
Hilton Oceanfront was transformed into a Hollywood event with all the right trimmings. Hannah and
Zachary celebrated with all of their closest friends and family with ShutterBooth, Astro DJ’s, and yet
another fantastic piece by Ice Art, a huge ice guitar positioned at the main entrance. Tons of party
favors were given, along with a popcorn stand and smoothie station which set this party apart from all
others! Thanks for letting ShutterBooth help make your B’Nai Mitzvah even more memorable!
Just down the street in Fort Story, a beautiful beach wedding for Stephanie and Richard captured the
last of good weather before the winter chill. Complete with sea shells and starfish, the Edelen wedding
catered to a navy decorated guest list who managed to break the booth record by fitting 20 people in
the booth! Stephanie and Richard enjoyed their first dance to Kenny Chesney’s, “Me and You” and also
enjoyed their tier of cupcakes together as the night went on. ShutterBooth was very excited to be a part
of your celebration; Congratulations to the both of you!
Sunday the 16th was a day of Outer Banks Weddings, as ShutterBooth Hampton Roads traveled down to
the beaches of North Carolina. The beach off of the Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk held the ceremony
where Courtney and John said their I Do’s before taking the party up to the pier house. Simply Posh
decorated the beach scene and made a tier of glittering sugar and cake pops with two customized cake
pops decorated for the Courtney and John. It was such a treat! ShutterBooth and its prop box were
a huge hit for everyone to enjoy, along with the personalized scrapbook custom made by our own
ShutterBooth hosts. We were glad to be there on your special day, congrats!
After enjoying the beach view in Kitty Hawk, our ShutterStars headed to the Duck Country Club for the
Nelson wedding that same night. Here, Judy and Bob celebrated tying the knot and danced their first
dance as husband and wife to “At Last.” A big hit at the reception was the Michael Jackson Wii that
was set up on the dance floor in which mass participation of “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” rocked the night
away. It was truly an amazing sight that everyone should get a chance to experience. Thanks for rocking
our night Judy and Bob, and congratulations!
