Reviews for Ian Grant Photography
AMAZING!!! I don't know how else to describe how incredible Ian Grant Photography is. I was so blown away by EVERYTHING that Ian and his wife Tanya did. First, my pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. Each picture is like a work of art. Ian and Tanya captured every single moment of our wedding...they didn't miss even one detail. I think they must have cloned themselves, because looking at the pictures it seems they were everywhere at once. Looking through the photographs has been so fun...Ian and Tanya caught so many moments that I had completely missed during the day. And the portraits! They are just stunning! No cheesy poses here. Every portrait is creative, elegant and sophisticated. I want to frame them all! To top it off, there are SO many pictures to choose from.
Not only does Ian take incredible photographs, but he and Tanya are just a joy to be around. They put all of our guests at ease and everyone just adored them! They are beyond professional as well. They were super-punctual (despite the airline cancelling their flight at the last moment, having to spend 5 hours in the airport and then catching the red-eye in!). And Ian is so responsive. He replies to emails and voicemails in an instant, and posted my proofs incredibly quickly. I am just so thrilled with everything about Ian and Tanya, and cannot recommend them highly enough. I adore them!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, Ian. We just got home from our honeymoon and looked at our pictures... for like 6 hours!!! They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING -- we seriously are so excited! I literally got teary eyed looking at them all. Thank you SO much they are perfect. You captured everything perfectly and I have never seen such beautiful pictures in my entire life. We absolutely loved working with you guys - you and Tanya are awesome! I got so many comments from our guests about how cool you both are.. you guys totally fit right in with our guests.
If anyone needs a reference, please send them our way... Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Keep in touch!

The pictures are amazing!!!!! We had such a blast at our wedding and loved having Tanya and you there. You two rock. Thank you so much. P.S. We are loving our honeymoon and have so far been to Saigon and Nha Trang. When I'm taking pictures I can't help but think, man, Ian would take such an awesome picture here. You've got to add this country to your list of places to visit someday. Cheers.
-Kelly and Joe
Thanks for the photos. They look GREAT! We just sat and looked through them all. We would love to be a reference for you. You did an awesome job at our wedding. We especially like a lot of the black and whites you have done. But, we had a great time that weekend and its hard to believe it was a month and a half ago. We are glad you had a good time, too. While you were our photographer, we wanted you to enjoy the destination weekend, too.
-Brian and Veronica

About Ian Grant Photography
BIO:
Ian's story starts in 1981 when he was born in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Soon after, his family moved to Dartmouth, Massachusetts. When he was five, a family friend handed him his first camera and he spent the next few years of his childhood taking pictures of landscapes, cows, and the general goings-on of his daily life [mostly tramping through corn fields].
In middle school, Ian picked up a video camera, and found movie-making to be more socially acceptable than other forms of mischief-making. When he was in high school, his films were reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine, which said, "...Grant lands somewhere between Scream scribe Kevin Williamson and schlockmeister Ed Wood." To this day, we're still not quite sure what that really means.
Ian decided to pursue his love of documenting life by studying film and photography at Emerson College in Boston. Between classes, Ian began shooting headshots for his fellow acting students and selling his fine art prints to galleries and private collectors.
Tanya's story starts four years later than Ian's, when she too was born. She grew up in a Philadelphia suburb and wrote her first book in first grade. It was called, My Friend Buffy, and it was about a rabbit. It was awesome. Tanya liked seeing her name in print so she kept writing. She found this to be a socially acceptable form of mischief-making, plus it was fun.
Tanya caught the acting bug in middle school, where she joined the school play. She continued her theater involvement throughout high school, acting, directing, designing and being an all around nerd. When it came time to choose a college, Tanya decided to try her luck at Emerson, where she studied Writing, Literature, and Publishing and Theater Education, two majors with very long names.
Then one day, Ian devised a plan to celebrate the best in cafeteria comment cards, and a mutual Emerson friend invited Tanya to join. Obviously Ian had been collecting the posted comment cards for the last couple years, and had been devising a plan to cover the cafeteria walls in them after hours. Is it any wonder they should meet making mischief?
Soon after, Ian moved to Los Angeles, and a few years later Tanya joined him. He still owes her. They realized with their powers combined they could run a pretty darn cool business. Ian Grant Photography was born. The couple shot their first wedding a little while later and were hooked. They decided they should also get married, so they did. Ian and Tanya currently live in Los Angeles with their dog, cat, and rabbit.

Burbank Photo in Southwest’s Spirit Magazine
Every few months I sell a few stock photographs of the places I travel to and recently I saw I got a rather boring photo of Burbank, California in my sold pile. The interesting part is it said it was going to an ‘in-flight magazine’ with a viewership of around 500k for the month of March. Anyway, after a little detective work I found it was appearing in this month’s Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine which I read all the time [you know, to kill the time]. Check it out, sadly no one ever buys my good photos- but nevertheless it’s pretty cool.
