Naty & Trevo @ Ocean Cliff
Naty & Trevo? That’s right…we’re not just on a first name basis…we’re on a nickname basis! These two crazy kids have been friends of ShutterBooth RI since well before ShutterBooth RI even existed. Since the days we roamed the halls of Western Hills Middle School and Cranston West High School together. Those were days huh? Fun, innocent, and as “awkward” as teenagers can be! If we only had ShutterBooth established back then to capture so many of those great memories…
Anyway, I digress. Back to Naty & Trevo (Natalie & Trevor, for those wondering). Yea, so we all went to school together back in the day. Now, 10-12 years later, we’re celebrating the beautiful wedding ceremony of two high school sweethearts! Wait, they didn’t date in high school? They barely talked in high school? Interesting. Didn’t you guys live just a couple miles apart? And you’re telling me there was no love interest growing up?
Yup. That’s what they tell me. Kind of amazing really. Two beautiful people, that lived so close to each other and went to the same high school, but fell in love in Boston about 6 years later! Life is pretty funny sometimes.
And because of Natalie & Trevor, we here at ShutterBooth RI got to showcase our photo booth to so many close friends all at the same time. What an incredible night Saturday, May 8th turned out to be!
I woke up that morning to the sound of thunder, lightning and some of the hardest rain I’ve ever heard in my life. Intermittent periods of flash flooding in Rhode Island (just what we needed a few weeks after the worst floods in our state’s history) gave the potential for a real bummer of a wedding day.
The show must go on, however, so we packed up our booth, props, suits and dresses and made our way down to Ocean Cliff in Newport, RI for a 6:30 pm ceremony. Just like it was scripted for a movie, as we’re driving over the Newport Bridge, the rain stopped, the clouds burnt off and the sun began to shine as brightly as it had in weeks! What was once one of the most treacherous mornings and afternoons I’ve ever seen was quickly turning into an absolutely breathtaking and magnificent evening.
As the sun set, we stared at the backdrop of tall cliffs, crashing waves and two great people about to enter into a lifetime of love and commitment. It was truly an amazing sight…and the beginning of a night a great food, tons of fun, plenty of drinks, poetic speeches and ShutterBooth!
Judging by the quantity and quality of the pictures taken, we’re sure everyone had a blast! We’ve heard stories that there were even some doubters in the bunch beforehand…but after they had an opportunity to take part in the ShutterBooth experience, all doubt was erased. Now, that’s what we like to hear people!
We love ShutterBooth, of course. We wouldn’t have opened up the RI branch if we didn’t truly believe in its awesomeness. It’s nice to get validation from our clients though too.
Thanks to Natalie & Trevor, and to all others that attended too! Spread the word so more people can “capture the fun.”
Naty & Trevo…congratulations and best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous future together!
