Why, you ask? Well because it's FUN, exciting and it gets us into the holiday spirit! <br /> <br />This year, I can document and twitter from my handy iPhone! Unless I get ambitious and bring my real camera-we'll see! Last year's <a href="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/2007/11/day-after-thanksgiving-craziness_23.php"target="_blank"><b>craziness.</b></a <br /> <br />-The Christmas Tree <br />Some silly holiday spirit for you.

So I try to think of all the things I'm thankful for all the time, but especially today. <br /><br />Too many things to write so I will focus on one: The amazing, wonderful, awesome client-friends. I can not believe we are so blessed as to meet friends through photography. We are incredibly spoiled by them! We treasure each and every one of them. We are honored to be able to share the wedding day with such amazing people. Sometimes I even shed tears thinking about how grateful I am for these people in our lives! Thank you God for our client-friends!<br /><br />We hope your mind is filled with thankful thoughts and your belly with delicious food! <br /><br />Love, <br />The Grants<br /><br />A picture we just took with our client-friends Tracey + Chris on their fun engagement session.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_11/t1.jpg" />Dana and Jeremy Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223554582460858778dana@danagrantphotography.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320915.post-64964759521565218792008-11-23T16:20:00.000-08:002008-11-24T00:47:08.863-08:00I meant to post this last month but we got a ton of shoots in a row.

The taste of his little black lips!" John made up this song to the beat of the "I kissed a girl" song.

Photography is such an important element of anyone's wedding day and Dana Grant Photography made our wedding memories so cherishable. When looking back on all the pictures that were took, we re-lived each moment. They are candid photographers with an edge and we couldn't have asked for anything more out of them. They were PERFECT! We recieved tons of compliments on our wedding photos which stemed to others wanting to use Dana Grant Photography for their own events. Dana and Jeremy Grant rule! There is no other way around it."<br /><br />Aren't they the sweetest?! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/2008/09/lindsey-matt-wedding-at-los-willows.php"target="_blank"><b>Lindsey+ Matt</b></a> August 30, 2008 <a href="http://www.loswillows.com/?cmpid=GL_VPS"target="_blank"><b>Los Willows</b></a><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_09/lm8.jpg" />Dana and Jeremy Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223554582460858778dana@danagrantphotography.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320915.post-54836226543354965042008-11-04T22:20:00.001-08:002008-11-05T12:01:11.058-08:00We have LOTS to blog: two weddings, a day after and several fam shoots!

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!<br /><br />Some wedding details.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm4.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm5.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm3.jpg" /><br /><br />Cassie-MOH + Shawn-BM and the rings.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm3.5.jpg" /><br /><br />Ceremony:<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm6.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/m7.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm8.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm9.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm10.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/mm11.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/m13.jpg" /><br /><br />This is my favorite.

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!"<br /><br />Thank YOU guys!!<br /><br />- <a href="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/2008/05/christy-brian-wedding-at-keysways.php"target="_blank"><b>Christy + Brian</b></a> May 17, 2008 <a href="http://www.keywayswine.com/frmWineryEvent.aspx"target="_blank"><b>Keyways Winery</b></a><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_05/cb2.jpg" />Dana and Jeremy Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223554582460858778dana@danagrantphotography.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320915.post-56017563782838777572008-10-21T11:38:00.000-07:002008-10-21T11:47:57.663-07:00Instead of posting a preview to their wedding which we shot Sunday, here is a wedding invitation I designed for <a href="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/2008/05/michelle-mike-engagement.php"target="_blank"><b>Michelle + Mike</b></a>.

I am so in a fall mood right now. All the weather/baking/warm drinks/scarf-wearing make me so happy! And nostalgic. The fall/winter inspires warm and fuzzy thoughts of past holidays with family and friends. The summer doesn't quite do that for me. <br /><br />From the little store in Oak Glen.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/og1.jpg" /><br /><br />On Riley Farm.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/og2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/og3.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/og4.jpg" />Dana and Jeremy Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223554582460858778dana@danagrantphotography.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320915.post-42214471461287974672008-10-17T08:31:00.000-07:002008-10-17T08:54:26.977-07:00We shot one of our favorite fams with their extended fam in Oak Glen. There was a TON of people there due to opening weekend (we didn't know) and our favorite part of <a href="http://www.rileysfarm.com/" target="_blank"><b>Riley Farm</b></a > was closed! (Think pumpkins + Barn). But we managed to find some other cool spots. With Oak Glen you really can't go wrong! There was too many pictures and hard to choose as usual!<br /><br />P.S Jeremy shot almost all of these and I processed them with a warm tint since I was in a fall mood!<br /><br />The Rachunoks. <br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf5.jpg" /><br /><br />The whole fam.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf6.jpg" /><br /><br />The Sendziaks.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf3.jpg" /><br /><br />Sean + Ali.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf11.jpg" /><br /><br />Cousins!<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf2.jpg" /><br /><br />Trenton and Grandpa.<br /><img src="http://www.danagrantphotography.com/blog/images/2008_10/rf4.jpg" /><br /><br />My fave from Jeremy.

We had such a good time with them and their amazing families at <a href="http://www.indianwellsclub.com/0_common_files/private_events.aspx" target="_blank"><b>Indian Wells Country Club.</b></a > There was a crazy wind storm so the reception had to be moved inside.
