"I kissed a schnauzer; I liked it! The taste of his little black lips!" John made up this song to the beat of the "I kissed a girl" song. He sings this song, which leads Amy to sing this song, which leads innocent bystanders to wake up in the middle of the night singing, "I kissed a schnauzer..."
I think this is my fave. So Christmas-y!
Even Albi is smiling!
Isn't Mr. Albi so handsome?!
Hi Fiiive!
Thank you John + Amy for a fun night and wonderful dinner! It's so much fun to do your Christmas Cards every year!

Melissa + Patrick are so cute and nice, I wanna squeeze them!! They really are two of the nicest people we've ever met. (And their families are just as nice too!) They were referred to us by another wonderfully nice couple, Patti + Danny. Melissa + Patrick live in Northern California so we met them on our engagement session with Jackie + Joe in San Francisco and hit it off!
Their wedding took place at a charming venue called Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove, California. We would LOVE to shoot another destination wedding there so give us a call if you're planning a wedding!
Some details:
I love when reflections happen upon us.
Melissa and her dad melt my heart. 
First look by Jeremy:
Wedding party.
Melissa's mom had heart buttons!
Bowling ally!
Movie theater! This place has sooo many nooks and crannies, we MUST go back and shoot more!
Melissa said, "You have your own sweetheart table"! Aww! 
I loved these ring shots:
Thank you Melissa + Patrick and family for everything! Everyone is wonderful! We are so happy we shared this day with you.
Come back soon for their Day After Shoot!

Our client-friends are amazing. What is also amazing is how much they have in common with each other and/or me. I thought it was really interesting that several of our brides picked the same shoes! That really says something about how specific the people we attract are!
This is a really fun video is about High Heels that I thought was fitting.
Delia and Leilah.
Becca also had this same brand, (Giuseppe Zanotti) as Delia/Leilah, different shoes.
Lindsey and Cassie.
Anita and Jackie
I also loved these bride's choices in shoes:
Patti:
Christy:
Nancy:
Deanna:
I also loved these bridesmaid shoes from Delia's wedding:
And probably our favorite guy shoes ever, from Deanna's wedding! You either love it or hate it!

This wedding and reception took place minutes (seconds if you will) from our house! It's the closest one we've ever done. And with a with such a sweet couple! They had a wonderful day and we were happy to share it with them!
Our brides have cool shoes (I'm doing a fun blog on that later this week.)
At the groom's house (which is around the corner from us!)
Ceremony at Saint Matthew's Church:
We had fun playing with all the lines of this church.
Rings!
The cutest little cozy slippers ever!
Jeremy got Nancy a bottle of Champagne to start! Then we had a shots to end. We love our client friends! Haha, that rhymed. And I'm a dork!
Nancy + Gerry: Don't be strangers! Let's do the lounge soon!

Last Sunday, we started our Holiday Mini-Shoots at Salt Creek Beach. Until it started pouring! We shot these four fun families before the down pour. These are a few of our faves.
I just loved this moment.
Isn't she sweet?!
This little guy made the best faces!
Crocodile tears! 
This family showed up right as the downpour started! But we got this fun shot of them with the umbrellas. And the surfers!
We're shooting another two days of Mini Sessions in the next couple of weeks!

"Dana Grant Photography is absolutely amazing. 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."
Aren't they the sweetest?!
