I've always watched the MuchMusic Video Awards from my living room couch in Surrey, BC and this year I finally got to see inside the huge Canadian entertainment event up close. I got a media pass for this year's MMVAs to cover it for Faze Magazine and it was pretty cool!

Back in my high school days, I had always wanted to attend We Day but something always got in the way, never allowing me to experience the atmosphere and awesomeness of the event that I've heard all about. So up until last week, I had wondered what I was missing out on and was excited to finally get the chance to check it out - as media though. So, despite the fact that I was no longer a tween on my journey to saving the world, I was still a member of the audience, as a 20-year-old who just wanted to be in the presence of so many amazing speakers and performers.
If you don't already know about We Day, check out this video for some background info:
This year, We Day was expanded to more cities across the country - from Halifax to Montreal and Saskatchewan to Vancouver. And the Toronto event was a great kick-off. Check out some of my photos from the show!

Now for the photos from my experience in the crowd at this year's MMVA. I got a pretty good spot by the smaller stage, so although I didn't get shots of the huge main stage, I was pretty satisfied with mine -- Biebs, Cody Simpson, Marianas Trench, Hedley, and more stepped foot on the smaller stage, so I was happy I had a great view!
Enjoy :)

Anyways, I hope you all had a great MMVA experience, whether that may be from the audience on Queen Street or on the couch in your living room. Time to wait for next year!
