I know many of you are patiently waiting the posting of Jeannine and Aaron's wedding. Here's a little sample. I'm working on putting together a snazzy new blog that will display the images bigger and better. Believe me, the wait will be worth it! In the meantime, here's something to hold you over.
Jeannine and Aaron, Sarah and I had a great time shooting your wedding. Hope you like the pictures.

Max's Bar Mitzvah

2009-06-05T10:59:00.000-07:00

About two weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph my first Bar Mitzvah. It was a fun experience and I wouldn't mind shooting another one in the future. The boy who was becoming a man that day was Max Myers. He and his family were a lot of fun to work with and I'm gratefull for the chance to meet them. The day began at the Synagogue in State College with a few shots.

The evening hours found us at the Penn Stater conference center where we enjoyed delicious food and lot's of laughter. I have so many fun candid pictures that it would take forever to post them all so I'll just include some of my favorites.

The party really got going once the dancing began. Lot's of fun picture opportunities!

Thanks Max and family! It was a blast. Blessings to you as enter manhood!

Logan Wedding

2009-05-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

Two Saturday's ago found us taking pictures in Bloomsburg. It was a beautiful day and I was happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of my good friend Tim and his new bride Brenda. After the wedding, we headed over to "Ted's on the Hill" in Shamokin Dam, which is a really fun reception area for all of you engaged couple out there. Here's some of my favorite images from the day. Thanks Tim and Brenda, for letting us be a part of your day!

We recently took a little time on a Saturday afternoon to take some family photos of the Spriggs. This, by the way, was the Saturday that it snowed 6 inches. It was an interesting time trudging through snow and ice to capture a few shots. We survived and these are a couple shots from the day!

A winter shoot

2009-01-02T06:57:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago I went down to the local state park and photographed Roger and Heather's family. You may remember this particular bride and groom as the couple that jumped into the river following their wedding. The 20 degree weather put jumping into the creek out the question this time, but we had a great time taking pictures of the Warners along with Heather's brother, nephew and sister. Brittany was a great senior model! These picture are a long time coming, but I think you'll still enjoy them!

Thanksgiving fun

2008-11-30T15:49:00.000-08:00

This past year God blessed Sarah and I with a new home. So we invited the Grimes/Owens (my sister's family) clan over to our new digs to celebrate Thanksgiving. We had a swell time and Sarah and I didn't even overcook the turkey! Here are some pictures I took on thursday and a couple other recent ones of my kids.

Isaac's crazy lips.

My Family

2008-11-13T07:26:00.000-08:00

Some of you know that we recently had a new baby, Isaac. He was born two months early but is home now and doing well. In response to many people asking, I thought I'd put some pictures of him online along with some of Ava my daughter (there's actually more of her). We recently took Ava to feed the ducks. She couldn't quite figure out why we'd be giving perfectly good bread to these creatures when she could eat it. The duck wasn't too happy.

Isaac Joshua Grimes at 6 weeks old. He's a whopping 5 lbs.

Ava loves her new brother but we're not sure If Isaac genuinely understands the sentiment!

Family and Friends

2008-11-11T14:10:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had the fun opportunity to spend some time with my sister Jill, and her family. Also along for the day were some family friends Lonnie, Val, and their two boys. We faced the cold with confidence and hunted for a few remaining fall leaves. By the time we were finished I was pretty happy with the shots. Today after editing I thought I'd share a couple with my faithful blog readers (if there are any besides my sister Jill). There will be more to come but I just like to tease my big sister.

Chez and Heather

2008-11-11T07:20:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday we attended the autumn wedding of Chez and Heather. We made a quick trip to a local state park and snagged a couple photo's that you'll see below! Congratulations guys! Thanks for bringing Grimestone Photo along for the day.

The Crist Clan

2008-11-04T06:28:00.000-08:00

Here's some pictures of the Crist family that I took about two weeks ago. They told me of this great place to take pictures that I didn't know about. I look forward to taking some more there! We joked during the shoot that they could be a model family for Woolrich clothing since they almost all were sporting some sort of Woolrich branded shirt or coat.

Kiley and Chad

2008-10-30T08:51:00.001-07:00

October weddings are just awesome. The trees are great, the sun sets a bit earlier, and pictures are a blast. Of course, I'm a bit biased to October weddings since I had one myself two years ago. Anyhow, these are some images from the wedding of my friend Kiley and her new husband Chad. After the ceremony (which my father officiated), we took a drive to Brandon Park in Williamsport to snag a couple of fun shots.

Elizabeth and crew

2008-10-28T13:55:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures that I took recently of Elizabeth and her family, friends, dogs, and last of all, a horse. It was certainly a busy day as we toured the farm, playing a little football and trying to stay warm.

Thanks for the fun evening!

Family Fun

2008-10-22T14:23:00.000-07:00

Ok, so for those of you who make an attempt to keep up with my postings on this web site, I know you probably just shake your head and think "Does Josh just sit at his computer all day and post on this website?" The last couple of days that has been the case. In three weeks we had four weddings, 3 senior pictures, 5 family shoots, and one race (which my good friend Emma so kindly photographed for us). I was so busy taking pictures I hardly had time to edit! So I've been glued to my computer chair for hours lately. We hope to have everything wrapped up sometime soon!

These are a few of my favorite shots from our time with the Walizer crew last week. Playing in the leaves was a highlight along with trying to get triplets to look and smile at me together. Thanks for the good time guys!

Audrey and Family

2008-10-22T13:02:00.001-07:00

A little while ago I had the privilage of taking Audrey's senior pictures and also a few family shots while I was at it. We toured Lock Haven and the countryside as we searched for some great places. Here's a sample of what we got.

Ethan

2008-10-21T17:02:00.000-07:00

Usually guys hate having their senior pictures taken, but Ethan had a good attitude as I made him run through his corn fields and barn. Here's a few of my favorite pictures of the day.

RJ and Jessica

2008-10-21T15:54:00.000-07:00

We recently visited Tussey Mountain again for the wedding of RJ and Jessica. What a fun day with a fun couple. Instead of a big wedding cake, every table got a few of these "puff" cakes that were really, really good (in my opinion). From crazy shoes to the shortest ceremony of the season, this was a memorable day for us at Grimestone Photo. Thanks guys for the good time!

Katie and Justin

2008-10-20T04:39:00.001-07:00

Justin and Katie were recently married in Renovo. Grimestone Photo journeyed into the mountains to capture the event. We drove to the top of Hyner View and were able to catch that magic light just as the sun was setting. The old Chevy truck made for some fun vintage pictures. Thanks guys!

Jalen

2008-10-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

We recently found ourselves taking some family pictures near Penn State. This is Jalen sporting his tough guy, Penn State Football look.

Amy and Brandon

2008-10-14T19:02:00.001-07:00

Wedding Season part 2 is fully upon us here at Grimestone Photo. With three weddings in two weeks, purchasing a new home and Sarah going into labor and delivering our son Isaac, we've been slightly busy. But we took some time recently to photograph Sarah's former cow0rker Amy and her new husband Brandon. We thought we'd include a few of our favorite shots of their day here.

Andrew and Sara

2008-10-07T12:47:00.000-07:00

Here's some shots from Andrew and Sara's wedding. It was a rainy day that forced us to use our creative juices indoors. Sometimes a challenge is just what we need to discover some amazing shots! Thankfully the rain stopped just in time for some outdoor shots after the ceremony.

Billy and Emily

2008-08-27T09:34:00.000-07:00

Billy and Emily, two of our friends, were recently engaged. Here are some of our favorite shots from our evening photo shoot.

Matt and Laura

2008-08-21T18:53:00.001-07:00

Saturday we traveled to Danville where we had the opportunity to photograph Matt and Laura's marriage. We ended up taking so many pictures that I had to buy an additional memory card in between the wedding and the reception! Here are some of our favorites.

Michelle and Jared

2008-08-17T12:06:00.001-07:00

Congrats to Michelle and Jared on their recent wedding! Here are a sample of the images we got at their wedding last Saturday.

Janna and Jesse

2008-08-12T19:36:00.000-07:00

Friday was the big day for Janna and Jesse. We had a great time taking pictures at Tussey Mountain. Here's a little sample of what we got that day.

Day Off

2008-07-08T10:37:00.000-07:00

What does a photographer do on his day off? He takes pictures. Here's some shots of our super cute daughter Ava. We were trying to capture her crazy hair before it grows in.

Warner wedding

2008-07-03T18:48:00.000-07:00

This past week we photographed the Warner wedding. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding. It was also the first time we photographed an entire bridal party jumping into the river.

It was wonderful. So congratulations to Heather and Roger! Below are some of our favorite images.
