Last month, I posted about a Vintage Glam Bridal Show in Los Angeles. One of the specials offered was a free engagement session for one lucky winner! I can’t wait to do that shoot in a couple weeks! It’s gonna be a good one…

For those that didn’t win, I’m offering a special ONE DAY only mini shoot at Griffith Park. Email me: dana@danagrantphotography.com to book your time slot!

Here are a few engagements where I shot the photography at Griffith Park:
Tricia + Parish, Amber + Mauricio, Lauren + Steven

Some of my favorite images from Griffith Park:

We shot Joyce and Justin in one of their favorite spots by their house in Seal Beach on Main Street. I like to shoot couples in places they feel reflects their personalities and this was perfect. They like to ride their bikes on Main, go the Irish Pub and walk on the beach.

One of their favorite bars, O’Malley’s on Main.

Dianne + Tuan were lucky enough to get two amazingly gorgeous sunny and cloudy days in Corona Del Mar/Crystal Cove for both their engagement and wedding. They have a calmness and beauty about them that inspires me. Plus. That. Light. Can’t wait to show you more of their engagement and wedding!

This is the kind of light I get giggy over. Just ask Dianne + Tuan.


Loved this moment from their ceremony at The Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

And look at this perfectly beautiful day and couple!

Leslie was in her sister Lindsay’s wedding that I shot way back and so I was excited when she contacted me for her own wedding. It’s so fun to get to be around amazing people again! Tyler proposed to Leslie in Julian, so we decided to shoot there. So I made a day of it, forced my boyfriend to come with (and by forced I mean I asked nicely and he said it would be fun) and we got some Juli-riffic pictures of this nice couple. Of course we ended the shoot with apple pie because that’s a rule. (Leslie + Tyler insisted on treating us!) And then we bought more apple pie and apple cider (hot and cold) because that is also a rule.

That apple thing from Mom’s Pies was delightful!

Things you don’t see everyday: Payphones and mini-horses. Not pictured; a llama.












Oh nothing. Just a chicken with feather feet. Have you ever seen one like this? I haven’t!







Julian Pie Company. They treated us to pie!



And here’s us at the end of a very fun Julian day. Thee end.

Clarissa + Bensi wanted to shoot at The Walt Disney concert hall. We had so much fun walking around and finding cool spots… But the best thing was that it had just rained. The light was amazingly gorgeous! The clouds were so pretty and the sun peaked through with the most delicious warm pink color. Just look at it!

Can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month!
