About

At Ian Grant Photography we love what we do and we hope it shows. Even though we’re hired as your photographers, we feel like part of our job is to help give you a great experience. Whether it’s having Tanya sew a bride back into her wedding dress (those things are tight and you’d be surprised how many times we’ve seen buttons pop off!), or having Ian drive a groom to a “first look” location, we’ll always strive to go above and beyond for you.

We take a team approach to shooting, which allows us to capitalize on our strengths. Ian is usually the lead shooter, while Tanya’s eye for fashion and group dynamics help her suggest poses and wrangle families. Ian also has a background in color correction, so he’s fantastic at delivering images that are vibrant and polished. Tanya’s background is in customer service, and she focuses on client relations to ensure you are satisfied with every part of our process.

We believe that the more comfortable a client is, the better pictures we get, so our goal is to walk away from each photo shoot as friends. Better pictures for everyone new friends = win win. We look forward to introducing ourselves and hearing more about your wedding! -Ian & Tanya

Ian was so much fun! We used him for both our engagement and wedding photos and are so happy with how they turned out. Ian really captured the feel of our wedding and we get so many compliments on our photos.

Ian was utterly fantastic. We could not have asked for a better photographer. He and Tanya work together as a team, and made this entire wedding work flawlessly. Their expertise was evident throughout the entire process, as they were helpful in choosing locations for photographs as well as which ones we might like to have. They also helped us with a few minor details of our wedding, and I am confident that the wedding would not have been possible without them.

I have many of his pictures on my walls and on my desk at work, and people think our photos were for a magazine! Ian made our pictures look like they are from a storybook wedding, and he made us look like professional models! (I assure you, we are not.)

Professional, courteous, and charming, you cannot go wrong with Ian.

Ian did everything we asked for and more - which was primarily to capture great photos of our wedding, our guests, and our venue, at an affordable price. We have a ton of his photos hanging (including landscape shots that don't feature the wedding) at our home and office, and we would highly recommend him. And the photo book he prepared of our wedding is something we will cherish forever. If there's ever a fire in the house it will be the first thing we evacuate after securing people and pets.

Ian and Tanya were seriously AMAZING!! I treasure our pictures from our wedding so much. They are so natural, so beautiful and so us! Ian captured the day perfectly - so much so that 4 years later I still get teary eyed looking at them :). I think it's super important for your photographer to kind of blend into your wedding day and not make the guests uncomfortable with a giant camera in their face - and it's pretty hard to do that and still capture the feeling of the day.... Ian and Tanya not only blended in, our guests LOVED them and we still get comments about how great they are and how much people love our pictures. My only regret with Ian and Tanya was that we moved back east and couldn't have them photograph our first baby :). We love love love them and would not hesitate to give the the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a photographer!

Our wedding photos are AMAZING. My husband and I could not have been more pleased. Seriously, WOW! Ian and Tanya were fantastic on our big day. They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed; it's like were friends we had invited to our small, intimate wedding who just happened to have cameras. At the same time they were extremely professional. They captured do many special moments of such a memorial day. I really can't emphasize enough how beautiful our photos are. We really lucked out!

Why would a Seattle couple hire a LA photographer to shoot a Cape Cod Massachusetts wedding? Because no one comes close to Ian's talent and quality of work.

The photos from our Plimoth Plantation wedding in Plymouth, MA were incredible. Ian captured the emotion of the day - from the big moments to the intimate exchanges - without being obtrusive. His photojounalist style, combined with his eye for setting up 'formals' in a fashionable and non-cheesy way, let him capture the joy of our day.

On top of it all, Ian is friendly, funny, and personable. And calm - which is what a bride wants when she starts getting stressed!

I'm excited that Ian has expanded his business to Seattle - you can bet he'll be doing our family photography from now on!

My husband and I couldn't recommend Ian Grant Photography more highly! We were very impressed with their professionalism and friendliness. They met with us prior to the wedding to talk through our preferences and were a pleasure to work with on such an important day. It was wonderful to have photographers who took beautiful candid shots, and yet we never felt as if they were intrusive or interfered with the sacredness of the wedding day. In fact, we were so pleased we hired them to do a newborn photo shoot with our first son and have them booked again for the newborn session of our second son, due in a just few weeks. You won't be disappointed with Ian Grant Photography for all your important life events!

Ian Grant Photography is fantastic! Ian and Tanya are consummate professionals, they photographed our wedding 4 years ago, and people are still talking about the pictures they took. I get compliments on them all the time, their work is absolutely beautiful. We were so happy with their work, we hired them 4 years later to take portraits of our new baby. They are such lovely people, great to work with, and the product is beautiful. We would hire them again in a second.

I could not have been happier with my wedding photos. Ian spent time with us in the beginning to get to know our style, and he hit it spot-on: lots of candids, joyful, goofy moments, and absolutely stunning portraits. I felt like every picture belonged in a magazine. Absolutely nothing, from the details to each individual guest, was missed, and the shots were unique and striking.

Ian and Tanya make a perfect team. I don't know how they did it, but they were somehow everywhere at once and completely unobtrusive. (I suspect some sort of super powers.) We were immediately comfortable with them. I must warn you, you will want to be their friends. We recommend them to everyone we know!
