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

Salvation Mountain and My Friend Leonard

Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Tags: Leonard Knight, Salvation Mountain, The Salton Sea

I wouldn't consider myself overly religious in any which way, but I do love my crazy old folk artists, so naturally one of my favorite people in the world is a fellow by the name of Leonard Knight. This guy hangs out in the desert, collects paint from people who stop by, and built over time a massive 'mountain' to God. You can tell he has been at it for awhile because the intricacies of the place are astounding. Leonard is a popular guy as over the years more and more people have come and been given a personal tour. He was even in the movie 'Into the Wild' a few years back- I'm not sure he knew there were cameras there, that's how he always is, just walking around giving tours. We're also Facebook friends I might add.

Salvation Mountain is located by the Salton Sea, another one of my favorite places. There's tons of junk, abandoned houses, interesting and crazy people, and migratory birds. If you ever want a really awesome inspiring day tour, go check this place out before it gets too hot out there. Slab City is also right nearby which is a crazy place in its own right. Recently L'Official magazine in France used some of these photos in their Dec/Jan 2012 issue.
