Hi and welcome to my blog! My style is fun, quirky and beautiful. Light is an old friend of mine and I have too much fun with it. I take a boutique approach to photography: becoming friends, collaborating and reflecting what's most important; you! It's what I like to call Fantastical Photography for Amazing People.. Say hello at dana@danagrantphotography.com
Last weekend we had a LA adventure (May’s birthday) then spontaneously went to the Getty. So glad we did! It was the most gorgeous, magical light day that ended with this rainbow.
From my camera..I’ve never been so close to a rainbow!

Love this little note I got from Joyce about her album!
Hi Dana!
I meant to email you a while back… I wanted to let you know that we got the album! It’s beautiful! I can’t thank you enough again for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. We continue to get the most wonderful compliments about our wedding photos. Everytime I look at them, it still makes me giddy 
. You are amazingly talented and I look forward to the next time we can work together! – Joyce and Justin

This wedding was extra special to me since it’s my family! Gypsy (my step sister) has amazing, unique style so I knew this wedding would be fun to document and experience. Congratulations to two people you might not put together but make perfect sense. Love you both!

This is my step dad, who is hard to get a good smiling photo so I had to post this. Love you George!
This Santa Barbara Courthouse, Mural Room was amazing!
Canary Hotel
Fun was had by all! And extra fun was had by me since I had my dear friend Tiffani Michelle come shoot the reception for me! Thanks Luva!
This is me dancing with the craziest groomsman of all time!

I love when I get thank you cards before my client-friends even see the images! One of my main goals is make it a great experience for both the bride and groom. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed with my camera so we can get fun and natural pictures.
“Dana,
You and your partner were so nice and sweet to work with the day of the wedding. Jacob doesn’t really like taking pictures but he actually said that he enjoyed it and that you made it really relaxed and easy for him. Thank you again! Can’t wait to see the pictures!”
And here’s two sneak peaks form their wedding.. with one of the most gorgeous sunsets I’ve seen in a long time.

"Dana Grant Photography is just AMAZING. Her work is unparalleled and pure genius. If you are looking for a photographer that can capture a moment and not just a pose, this is the photography studio you are looking for. The style is very "Vogue" quality and photojournalistic. She is magic behind the camera and a delight to work with as a person. You will just immediately fall in love. Dana Grant Photography is the WHOLE package and so much more. I highly recommend her for ALL of your photo needs."
Paris and David, July 2009
"Ummmm...I freaking love you. No really...like, can you move in and just make us look that adorable all the time? Dana!!! You are SOOOOOO crazy talented...it hurts my brain. This has made me feel like I am REALLY good at choosing stuff for my wedding."
Jaymi and Andy, December 2010
"I spent the most money on the thing that was very most important to me which was photography. That was more than half my budget. The rest was all my friends and family. (You can get anyone but I wanted the best.)"
Catie and Ben, March 2010
"Dana is not only an amazing photographer, she's also a phenomenal person. And we really did feel like we got a friend as part of the package. She truly is a beautiful person who happens to take equally beautiful pictures!"
Kristen and Chris, October 2009
"Dana is amazing! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else! I am so happy with how everything turned out! We've had the pleasure of being shot by her and being friends with her as well! She handles everything professionally but still manages to be fun. Anyone who hired her would be lucky to have her shooting their wedding!"
Heather and Grayson, April 2009
"Oh my word... we are in love with them! We were scrolling down the page and giggling with delight all the while. Steven just kept saying 'she NAILED it!' hahah. Seriously.. they are perfect... we love them... and we love you too! Thank you sooo much for capturing our day. It went by so fast for us... like a blur... and it's so nice to have amazing pictures that show us everything!"
