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!

Venice Boardwalk Engagement Photography - Carey and David

Sunday, May 16, 2010

One thing that Tanya and I love is when couple's choose locations for their engagement sessions that are really special to them. Carey and David are getting married at the Beach Club in Malibu but for their engagement session they wanted to show off their love for Los Angeles with a more urban photo shoot.

We met over in Venice Beach and had fun shooting with all of the textures and personalities of the boardwalk. Then Carey and David pulled out their beach cruiser bikes and we rode around on the bike path. All was well until mid-photo shoot, sitting precariously, camera in face, a very angry seagull dropped a tater-tot directly on my head. I wasn't happy until I realized it was only a tater-tot...could be worse right? Nonetheless we persevered.

We decided to head over to Abbott Kinney in Venice and see if we could find the elusive food trucks that stop over there. Carey and David are food truck connoisseurs and they introduced us to the totally awesome world of mobile food. We hit the jackpot on Abbott Kinney - three trucks showed up so we had a bunch of food to choose from. Today it was the Nom Nom Truck, Baby's Baddass Burgers and our choice, Dogtown Dogs. It was a delicious way to end the shoot! If you live in LA, check out the food truck live location map!
