Cake at the 107.7 fm Deck The Hall Ball

admin | December 13, 2010

There is something about being in-between the craziest fans and the making of live music. It was a great night, with lots of good music. The press part of my pass was just for the Cake segment but I was able to step back and enjoy other great music too. Cake put on a great show, it was very fun to be there, and here are a few photos… (An Interview with the band will be here soon, these are just to get you excited for it.) Go listen to some of their music!

Jaimie & Ben | Seattle Wedding | Special Guests

admin | November 21, 2010

Jaime and Ben! I can’t say that I have ever had the opportunity to take part in any wedding quite like theirs! The wedding was beautiful and full of meaning. Location: The Urban Light Studios in Seattle, Washington. It was a gorgeous celebration with nothing “normal” about it, I think not being normal was the goal and this let their creative personalities come through in the details. The special Star Wars guests were there in honor of Jaimie’s brother who was a big fan and recently passed away [10MY].
