Xtreme Night Out

Last night we went out to dinner to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill for dinner. I so love being a photographer and getting to hang out with other really talented and giving photographers. Over dinner we discussed and shared ideas about one another's business. I'm so blessed to get to do something that I love so much and with such great people.

When dinner was over I was completely oblivious when a cake arrived for me. I was so surprised...no it's not my birthday (even though that's what Charles told our server).

Lauren Clark got some fun pictures!

Xtreme in NYC

I'm in NYC at the Xtreme seminar with Liana Lehman and Jessica Claire. We are shooting at the famous Boyland Studios in the Martha Stewart Ominmedia Building! The studio space is totally incredible with some really incredible natural light flooding in everywhere. Check it out!

David Perry

David Perry is a genius wedding videographer! I have loved his work for years and always love it when I hear that I'm going to get to work with him at a wedding. I've been so impressed with the way he goes above and beyond for his clients and friends. He's taught me so much about business just by the way he runs his own business.

So, when I needed to make a film for my presentation at the Pictage Partnercon in Los Angeles last month he was the one I called. His work is moving and real. I love that!

Check out my new film and let me know what you think in the comments! (page down to Davina's demo video) I'll be having a new website coming out in the next couple of months. Would you like to see it as part of the new site? Let me know your thoughts!



David filmed his own proposal!

Alta Lodge

A couple of months ago I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Sheridan Davis at the Alta Lodge in Salt Lake City. Sheridan was amazing the details of the day that Rosemary and Tyler had planned with her. I was so impressed with how much she cared about them and how she was constantly making sure that they were happy and that there day was going perfectly. Sheridan kept the day moving smoothly and even always made sure that everything was okay for me. She was sensitive to everyone's needs through out the entire day. I was so impressed with her attention to the details of Rosemary and Tyler's wedding as well as her awareness of each individual at the wedding.

I can't wait to work with her and Alta Lodge again!

Trudy + Jamo

What a fun time! Trudy and Jamo were game for almost anything! We went from Jamo's house to the outdoor mall to a little fruit stand with an orchard out back. I love that they were willing to stop places with people around. Trudy and Jamo have so much fun and laugh together. They are getting married in December...it's gonna be fun!!

Morgan + Chris

Morgan and Chris were so fun together on their wedding day. Morgan looked incredible in her gorgeous gown. It was perfect for her! There were so many people at their ceremony who were close to them and who were so happy for them to be together. I had so much fun getting to be with them on such a special day!

Joe Buissink

I am so excited to have the opportunity to go to Joe Buissink's workshop in Vermont! When I first started into wedding photography Joe was one of my biggest inspirations. I loved how he used and pushed film to it's limits. I also admired his ability to see moments that I wasn't seeing any other photographer see. He has a soulfulness to his work that moves me. I hope to someday have the soulfulness in my work that I see in his.

He is an amazing artist. He has a gift for seeing the power of a moment. And from what I've heard from everyone who knows him, he is an incredible person. I can't wait!

I leave in a couple of hours!!

Some fun at the Theatre

Brittany and Clark met while acting in the production "Suessical the Musical"
at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City and have been together ever since. We got to go backstage and try on costumes and all kinds of cool stuff. The day was so beautiful we couldn't just stay inside so we ventured to a park. Brittany and Clark have so much fun together and are so into one another...very fun for me!
