Los Angeles Wedding Photographer – Ian Grant Photography, LLC bio picture

Welcome to Ian Grant Photography!

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 fashion sense [we got married at Point Lobos, CA ourselves a few years back]. 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 [especially Iceland!]. 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 2012/2013 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! -Ian and Tanya

Hermosa Beach, West Los Angeles;

Saturday, October 6, 2007

I'm trying to get caught up with all these entries I've had on backlog! Two weeks ago Tanya's folks came out to visit and we all went down to Hermosa Beach to go check out the sights. Ever since I moved down to the beach communities [I live in Playa del Rey] I've really fallen in love with Los Angeles, well more of a tolerance, but nevertheless it's made me a happier person. One of the more interesting towns in Hermosa Beach which is kind of a less refined college town than it's sister town Manhattan Beach. It's great through, tons of surfers, it's own pier and a Boston pub that I'm still yet to go to!

Ok, the real reason I went to Hermosa Beach is because I needed photos to add to my Shoot Every Town in Los Angeles Project, and I now count the town done.

Some More on Hermosa Beach via Wikipedia.org:

Hermosa ("beautiful" in Spanish) is an accurate description of this city's beach, which is also flat, sandy, and long; ideal for sunbathing, beach volleyball, surfing and paddleboarding. The city itself is only about 15 blocks from east to west and 40 blocks from north to south, with the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH to the locals) running down the middle. Situated right on the Pacific Ocean, Hermosa's average temperature is 70 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the winter. Gentle westerly sea breezes take the edge off what can be high summertime temperatures in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the county. The same breezes help keep the smog away 360 days of the year.

A paved path, called The Strand, runs along Hermosa's beach from Redondo Beach in the south approximately twenty miles north to Santa Monica. A typical day on this path will see thousands of people on foot, bicycle, skateboard, rollerblade and stroller enjoying the sun and surf.

Enjoy the photos!
