For Erin + Joe’s second half of the day, we shot their engagement in Oak Glen. This was my favorite part! It’s was sooo much fun! We played with pumpkins and found the coolest corn stalk I’ve ever seen in person! I didn’t even know God made them in California. Bonus!!

Check it:

This is my favorite that I shot!

This is one of my all time favorite Jeremy shots! Corn stalk Heaven!

Pumpkin Heads!

Erin said, “hahaha. We’re smashing pumpkins!” They crack me up!

3rd outfit: (We encourage outfit changes!)

This is my shot……

….This is Jeremy’s. We always try to out-do each other. You be the judge!

I loved all her outfits! Especially this yummy yellow scarf!

Another one of my faves from Jeremy.

Again, thank you Erin + Joe for such a fun day and a wonderful dinner! You guys are awesome!!!

Last week we had the pleasure of spending the whole day gallivanting around So cal with Erin + Joe. They were referred to us another amazingly wonderful couple, Becca + Jim. We love this group! Our first stop was San Juan Capistrano. We walked around, found cool spots and had lots of fun. Stay tuned for next post, which includes the Oak Glen part of our shoot!

We found this cute little house!

Super adorable Erin.

Doesn’t this just say, “Friendly Neighborhood Psychologist”?!

Their wedding theme is coffee/cafe so we wanted to shoot some here. And Joe bought us a Pumpkin Spice Frap! It was so yummy!

Okay, I know I posted a lot of these but their Save The Dates were so cute and creative we couldn’t help but take a ton!

Dear Erin + Joe,
Please stop being so cute already so we have less to choose from!! Thank you!

Mike is the brother of Shawn of Cassie + Shawn fame! And Michelle and Cassie are BFFs! It’s so fun shooting friend’s weddings! All of our clients become friends so it feels like we ALWAYS shoot friend’s weddings but we’ve been around this group quite a bit. Yay for shooting within the fams!

Some wedding details.

Cassie-MOH + Shawn-BM and the rings.

Ceremony:

This is my favorite. Michelle’s Bridesmaid Megan said,”Only God can make them that good!” Amen.

I know I did rings + cupcakes last wedding but I couldn’t help it!

It was a fun surprise when I came across Emily + Jony taking pictures of themselves with Jer’s camera!

Our friends will NOT be outdone by Jackie + Joe Friends! They aren’t even drinking. True story.

Jeremy got this gem of Darci + Bryon and baby Jack.

Thank you Michelle + Mike and fam! We love you!

We just got this sweet recommendation from Christy + Brian!

“Dana and Jeremy are absolutely amazing – not only did our photos turn out beautifully, they made our wedding even better. They are both so much fun to be around and it’s hilarious to watch their quiet competition with each other to get the best shots. We are recommending them to everyone that we know – even if they don’t need a photographer right now We could not have been more happy to have had chosen Dana Grant Photography – we will be hiring them again many times in the future!”

Thank YOU guys!!

Instead of posting a preview to their wedding which we shot Sunday, here is a wedding invitation I designed for Michelle + Mike. I LOVE to design!

It came out sooo cute! We printed it on pearl paper, which is thick and has a nice shimmer to it.

Front.

Back.

Come back soon for the wedding!
