Los Angeles and Santa Barbara Wedding Photography Blog by Photographer Ian Grant bio picture
  • Welcome to Ian Grant Photography

    Thank you for checking in on our blog! My name is Ian and I'm a photographer in greater the Los Angeles area. That's my wife Tanya over there too- she's great with clients and has a fantastic design and fashion sense.   I specialize in Wedding Photography and LA Headshots but you'll often catch me out shooting landscapes and traveling insane distances to visit National Parks in my spare time.

    In my wedding photography I like to combine both, so I guess I'm a landscape-wedding photographer.  I love long roadtrips and have been all over the US from Rhode Island to California. I enjoy planning far away trips and going over to Europe to drive around aimlessly for an extended amount of time. Tanya and I run Ian Grant Photography out of our beach spot in the Los Angeles suburb of Playa del Rey, CA. Enjoy your stay, and feel free to introduce yourself!

    Wedding dates for 2012 are quickly filling up! If you're interested in having us shoot your wedding or event, please contact us and we'll get right back to you! Feel free to let us know your wedding ideas and how we can help!

    Thank you for visiting!

Metal Forging Stock Photos

Couldn't get enough smashing titanium and molten metal? Then check out these great metal forging stock photos.  After a great shoot with California Drop Forge they sent me out to their sister company Precision Metal Products to shoot more amazing metal forging shots.  This is one of those you have to see it to believe...

Balboa Park Engagement Session - Molly and Derick

We love engagement sessions and think they're so important that we include them in every wedding photography package we offer.  They are a great way for us to get to know a couple and how they're best photographed, and it lets them get used to being in front of the camera. A little while back...

Judy - I like how the last two couples you posted photos of were wearing color coordinated outfits! Especially the couple wearing pink, posing with the pink flowered tree at Disney Hall. Did you suggest color coordinating, or was it a nice coincidence?

Palos Verdes Engagement Photos - Jennie and Justin

What a fun energetic couple with a wicked sense of humor!  Jennie and Justin brought their beaming faces from Baltimore to go get their engagement photos taken in the beautifully scenic Palos Verdes, CA- one of my favorite outdoorsy spots in LA.  If it wasn't impossible to get in and out of, I'd probably move...

As Seen in: Forge Magazine

I got a pretty interesting gig recently!  I was hired to take some action shots of a downtown Los Angeles metal forging company called California Drop Forge.  Essentially they work in the same almost old fashioned blacksmithing technique of heating metal and then smashing it into shape- just on a giant scale.  They have massive...
