Nerds, Cupcakes, and Carousels: A Fun and Romantic Celebration
Christine and Nicholas’s wedding at Shadowland on Silver Beach was a vibrant celebration filled with love, laughter, and whimsical touches. With 100 of their closest family and friends in attendance, their day combined personal charm, playful details, and heartfelt moments beautifully.
Why Shadowland on Silver Beach?
Christine and Nicholas chose Shadowland on Silver Beach for its charm, history, and unforgettable features. “The carousel and fountain were what really drew us to this venue,” they shared. These two elements added a whimsical and romantic vibe to their wedding, reflecting their fun personalities and shared love for unique experiences.
Playful Details and Personal Touches
The couple incorporated their personalities into every aspect of their day. Christine and her bridal party wore dresses from Azazie in rich plum tones, perfectly complemented by Nicholas and the groomsmen in sharp grey tuxes from Men’s Warehouse. Their plum and grey color palette added an elegant and cohesive aesthetic to the venue’s bright and open spaces.
Christine went above and beyond by crafting all the floral arrangements herself, adding a personal touch to their decor. And when it came to the cake, they opted for delicious cupcakes from Mimi’s Cupcakes, ensuring every guest enjoyed a sweet treat.
Romantic First Dance and Carousel Fun
Their first dance to “Simply the Best” (Acoustic) created a touching and intimate moment between Christine and Nicholas. The romantic melody perfectly captured the love and joy of their day. After the dance, the couple and their guests enjoyed one of Shadowland’s most unique features—the Silver Beach Carousel. Watching their friends and family laugh and play added an extra layer of fun to their celebration.

Rave Review from the Happy Couple
Christine and Nicholas shared glowing words about their experience with Wes and his team:
“Wes and his team were beyond amazing. Five stars is not nearly high enough! On the day of our wedding, we received multiple remarks about how Wes and his team helped make the day feel special. We felt less like we had hired photographers, and more like we had a few extra wedding party members. Their presence was a calming influence on an otherwise hectic day, and they kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The entire team integrated with our group so seamlessly, and it allowed them to get some really amazing shots. We cannot thank them enough. The day would not have been the same without Wes and his team!”
