Shameless Plug for My husband's New Band!

February 19, 2011

I rarely post anything on my blog that isn't wedding-related, but my husband is a dreamy drummer and I'm super excited that his band just released their first album! The music is what I call "electronic funk" and I think it's terrific. They just got their first "air time" on a Seattle college radio station last night! If you're going to listen, I advise listening with headphones start to finish by clicking on the first track. Here is the link: Binary Controllers

Enjoy!

Here are some band photos I took a few weeks ago:

DIY Wedding - Beka and Josh

November 11, 2010

As mentioned when I posted the Style Me Pretty link, I had such fun photographing Beka's wedding! Beka also happens to be a wedding photographer who used to come out to SF to assist me. I guess a lot of what she learned, she learned from me and then she photographed my own wedding! Beka and Josh's wedding reception was hosted and held t my good friend's home in a little mountain town in Arizona. We all pitched in to decorate the house and yard with the great crafty details that Beka created. Lucky for us, Kathy is a great stylist. In fact I met Kathy when she used to style home interiors for me when I was shooting for the interior design magazines. Oh, that was many years ago! Have fun looking at this wedding. So adorable!
