Welcome to my new blog! I love to shoot in interesting places that each couple, person or family feels is "them". Collaborating with each cleint-friend makes this the most satisfying job! If you take a look through my shoots, you will see that they are all very different from each other, and that's the way I like it! I don't just want to be your photographer, I want to be your BFF!

Back from Hawaii!

02.08.2010

I’m back from Hawaii and until I can do a full blog, enjoy the instant film from The Holgaroid that I took on Kailua and Lanikai Beaches. I felt like taking mostly film pictures on my trip and I can’t wait to get the rest developed!

For the next week I will be in Hawaii visiting my sister. While she’s at work I’m going to read books on the beach, think of ways to better my business and do some personal reflection. Fun and photography are on the agenda as well. I’m so looking forward to it!

if you need to get ahold of me, I will be available by email: dana@danagrantphotography.com or if it’s urgent, call me: 951-283-2002.

I took these in 2007 when I went to Hawaii last time. The little town is called Kailua.

It was one of the most beautiful days I’ve seen in a long time. And it couldn’t have been more perfect for this sweet couple, Claudia and Preston.

It was such an honor shooting Gabrielle + David’s wedding at The Universal City Hilton and hearing their story. They have really funny things in common like: both only children, both their dads owned a bail bonds business and were named Gary. They met at a party and one month later, he deployed. He’s been to Iraq two times. They had a long distance relationship for four years and here they are! My favorite thing about this wedding was during the toasts, one of the bridesmaids shouted out, “Thanks for serving our country!” and everyone got up and applauded. It was really an awesome moment I’ll never forget.

Thank you David for serving our country and thank you both for sharing your day with me.

He surprised everyone by wearing his Dress Blues.
