Patrick photographed our wedding at the beginning of February of this year. For being only a one-man-band, he was able to capture many beautiful shots of our ceremony and formal pictures, and the reception. The turn around time was insanely fast (we were able to look at our wedding pictures via web link while on our honeymoon!) and the images are lovely. We can’t wait to print them to put on our wall! The quality is good and the price is right; would recommend.
Patrick did an amazing job taking me and my husband's wedding pictures!! He truly capture the beauty of the day!! Thank you Patrick!!
Where to begin. Patrick was the best photographer I could have asked for, for our wedding. Not only did he show up a half hour early to scope out the venue and take pictures before, he was scheduled to start, he was also incredibly professional and personable with my highly demanding family and even myself who had a lot of ideas lol. He had my pictures ready within 5 days and personally handed me my drive of photos. They were exactly what i wanted. I will recommend him every time someone needs a photographer.
Patrick was amazing for our wedding! I am SO grateful we had him as a part of our wedding. Our original photographer cancelled on really short notice and Patrick stepped in when we were really in a bind. The photos were beautiful, and he was professional, funny, and a joy to have around. He was really well organized and listed to what we wanted for our wedding photos and gave us what we wanted. So grateful for him!!!
Love Patrick Grimes! Our photos turned out beautiful! Patrick was extremely flexible with our wedding schedule, communicated with my husband and I frequently with updates, and was super funny/friendly with all of our family and friends. His prices were also amazing for everything you receive! Would definitely hire again for future events.
Patrick was flexible and good-natured with our crazy kids during both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. His eye for lines, textures, angles, and lighting make for dramatic and beautiful photos that aren’t just the run-of-the-mill stuff you can get from anyone. His candids are also some of my favorite photos which I will treasure forever. He told a story, and didn’t just go through the motions.
He was also willing to travel to our venue location, nearly two hours away, without the slightest pause.
I can’t imagine someone of better value and quality to have been with us on our day.
We had to postpone our April, 2020 wedding because of the COVID-19 restrictions. Patrick was very happy to work with us to reschedule our wedding for September 27, 2020. The wedding went really well and Patrick's work was amazing. We were so glad we hired Patrick and will recommend him to all of our family and friends.
Patrick did an amazing job with our wedding photos. His prices are very reasonable and the pictures turned out great! He was punctual and made the most out of the time we had. He’s very creative, getting those interesting and unique shots. While taking the posed photos, he was very engaged and made sure all the smiles were natural. During the ceremony, he was unobtrusive but managed some great shots. We had our proofs 3 days later and our thumb drive shortly after that. I’m very pleased
Patrick did amazing and is so worth the money. He will not break the bank and take beautiful pictures. He is fun with directions, punctual, and all around great guy. I am amazed at out pictures! He will be hired again I'm sure in the future for many family functions. Loved him!
Patrick Grimes is very professional and we would highly recommend him for your special day!
Patrick was nothing less than professional. He was prompt, well organized and courteous. We were glad to have such a a talented and experienced photographer capture our special day. My husband and I are thrilled with the images and we will definitely be recommending him to our friends and family. Thank you so much Patrick!
FIVE STAR PLUS!
After searching many photographers we are so grateful to have found Patrick. We met at his studio and his photography on display proved the excellence and creativity of his work. His professionalism and calm nature helped to put my daughter and I at ease as he assured us we had no worries. On the wedding day, guests came up to me and remarked "He's really good"' "so interactive and charming" and "give me his name". Bottom Line? Trust Patrick to do what he does best . . . Capture Memories! And capture them he did . . . for us and for You! Thanks so much Patrick!
We were very pleased with Patrick as our wedding photographer. He is upbeat, patient and very open to suggestions. We had our pup in our photos and while she was getting grumpy and antsy, Patrick remained calm and patient. It was drizzling and freezing so we all could easily have been in a bad mood, however, Patrick's positive and professional attitude made it a pleasant experience. The photos turned out amazing. Patrick is truly an artist. He did an amazing job capturing the special moments and little details that we would have missed since the day goes by SO fast. I would definitely hire him again.
So glad we found Patrick. His amazing work is a reflection of is experience and talent. His easy going and fun personality helped to make our wedding day more enjoyable. He was able to design a wedding photography coverage package that perfectly fit our needs! We highly recommend Patrick.
Patrick did our 10 year vow renewal on June 24th and he was amazing! He does gorgeous work and both my husband and I loved our pictures. He's very professional, on time and funny. During the ceremony and reception he moved with ease and you hardly saw him, which made him capturing those rare and raw moments even more special. My family and guests and enjoyed him very much. I would highly recommend Patrick to capture your wedding.
Patrick captured the most beautiful memories of our day! We get constant compliments on the photos from our wedding and he managed to see a vision that I don't believe another photographer would have caught.
We were so pleased to have found Patrick through The Knot. He did an amazing job not only with the photos but with us, keeping us laughing and enjoying our day. We were saying that it was too bad we did not have any more events planned, because Patrick would surely be our photographer of choice. And at 71 years of age, we have seen our share of weddings, but Patrick made ours special, he will make yours special also. Highly recommended !
Patrick's photography for our wedding not only surpassed our expectations, but everything about our wedding photography from planning to getting our customized photo album was by far more than we could have hoped for. All our friends and family were amazed at the over 600 photos we sent to them to look at. His work is detailed, accomplished, and he is not only professional but he is personable and was able to get some great shots and make me look photogenic (which I am NOT!) We are so pleased with having chosen him; and we feel his price was extremely reasonable for such amazing high quality work.
Patrick provided great customer service. He made the guests feel at ease and the pictures were fantastic. He captured our wedding beautifully and we'll cherish those photos forever! Highly recommend!!!
Patrick is a quality photographer, as well as being workable, kind, and funny. He is the best!
Patrick is an outstanding photographer! My husband, my family and I are all very pleased with our wedding photos. We had an outdoor ceremony at the Lodge at Ventana Canyon and all the wedding party photos were taken outside. They were all stunning!!! My husband and I are so pleased we chose Patrick. Thank you Patrick!!
We enjoyed Patrick very much. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He was very professional, personable, and flexible. Patrick would do any shot or pose we wanted. The edited photos were returned to us within a week. The price is very reasonable! He did an awesome job!
Patrick was amazing and very forgiving of the changes that happened throughout my planning process. He was always quick to respond to emails and was incredibly easy to work with. His pictures were hosted online very quickly and digital copies were mailed to us less than a month after the wedding. We have another shoot to book with him for some informal husband/wife photos as our engagement shoot never came to fruition with mine and my husband's crazy work schedules. His pictures are gorgeous and have already been used in Christmas cards by my in-laws.
A special note for religious couples: I researched local photographers that were knowledgeable about the do's and don't's of Catholic ceremonies. Patrick was so much more professional than my brother-in-law's photographer during the ceremony (the priest actually asked my in-laws' photographer to step back!) and brought the perfect lens to capture the rings and the kiss from the back of the church. Looking at the pictures, you'd think he was 10 ft away!
All in all, Patrick was exactly what I wanted from my photographer and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
We couldn't have asked for a more amazing photographer. Thank you so much to Patrick Grimes! He was highly efficient, affordable, creative, and prompt on photo proofing! We absolutely loved his work, and his demeanor was wonderful considering my wild family! HIRE HIM - DON'T EVEN THINK OF GOING ANYWHERE ELSE!
I am so pleased with my wedding pictures! Patrick Grimes is outstanding the pictures were perfect! I could not have picked a better photographer!! Thank you so much for not only making it fun but taking such beautiful pictures! Very very pleased with your work.
Patrick did such an amazing job at capturing all of the beautiful moments from our special day. I am so impressed with the quality and quantity of the pictures. He was full of ideas and always captured amazing photographs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
Patrick Grimes is an absolutely wonderful photographer. My wedding pictures turned out amazing and he was so easy to work with. His work was very affordable compared to other photographers and I was able to get a copy of all of my pictures on a disc, which many other photographers do not offer. I would definitely recommend Patrick!
Patrick was a great photographer! He was always timely and took great notes on what we wanted on our big day. The pictures of the big day turned out amazing and we even got an extremely well presented CD in a nice leather case with our picture in it! The price was much better than most photographers I shopped for and he was very flexible with timing and in adding time at the last moment. I recommend Patrick for your big day!!!
Patrick was amazing! I was a bit stressed just before the wedding, but Patrick really helped to put all of us at ease. He suggested some great poses for the pictures and they all turned out great!! We are so happy that Patrick was available to capture our special day. We will be able to look back at the pictures for years to come. Thank you Patrick!! It was really a pleasure to work with you.
Patrick put up with our wedding shenanigans with a great attitude and the pictures turned out great too! The bridal party was running late getting ready, so he took the time to take pictures of guests and décor and they really all looked great. Definitely would recommend him!
I'm a little late in writing this review, seeing as our wedding was back in October. But I figured better late than never. Patrick is an awesome photographer, with a very fun personality! I consider myself a wanna-be amateur photographer, so when it came time to look for someone to shoot our wedding i had a certain style in mind. What sold me on Patrick were the creative shots he shows on his website. What I mean is not only does he show all the standard type of wedding pictures, but he also shows many creative shots. Our small, private wedding was outdoors, and Patrick very much used the surroundings to enhance the the pictures he took. Whether it a mountain background or a small corridor, he really just has a great eye for the creative! Patrick's prices were extremely fair, and we will absolutely use him again for future engagements!
Patrick was really great to work with! He had great ideas, was flexible and professional. He has been working in Tucson for a long time and it was beneficial that he knew my venue very well. His prices were reasonable and we had access to our pictures online within 4-5 days. He also sent a DVD with over 700 photos, some with beautiful finishing touches. I highly recommend Patrick!
Patrick was awesome. He really captured the fun and intimate vibe of our wedding through tons of candid shots. He was great to work with and very patient with me when I was running a little behind on getting ready. He does great work and I would definitely recommend him to all future brides and grooms looking for a reasonably priced and great photographer!
Patrick Grimes was a great photographer and the pictures turned out phenomenal. He takes his time and makes sure he gets the right shots. We highly recommend Patrick Grimes to shoot your special day or any event you want to cherish and remember for a life time! He also traveled three different places from one side of town to another at no additional charge. thank you Patrick
I cannot thank Patrick enough for the exquisite work he did for my wedding on May 25th! I truly appreciate his input and dedication to making such a wonderful day a true memory. His professionalism in talent and affordable cost, I do not believe I could have found anything better. 5 starssssss all the way!
Thank you again Patrick :)

Patrick took our Wedding picture's at the end of September and my husband and I are beyond happy with the quality and at attention to detail of the pictures we recieved. His direction to each person in the wedding party was very respectfully traslated and helped make the pictures look beautiful. He is very fun to work with along with a great sense of humor. Thank you Patrick!
My husband and I had Patrick do our wedding photos. He did a great job and I could tell he spent a lot of time on editing which is important. My husband is Deaf and most of the people in the pictures were our friends and family who are also Deaf. Therefore, we were using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate and Patrick tried his best given this unique situation. He was very friendly to everyone and I think he handling the language difficulties well.
All and all the photos came out very nice and I think his pricing was very reasonable. Thank you Patrick!
Patrick did an amazing job photographing our wedding. He was friendly, funny and put the wedding party, our family and guests at ease. He was unobtrusive and his pictures are amazing. We were looking for a reasonable, creative and friendly photographer and that was exactly what we got! Thank you Patrick, our photos are incredible and we love them so much!
We really enjoyed working with Patrick. He was efficient and respectful. When we got our final pictures we were over enjoyed! The pictures were so unique and beautiful- We couldn't have been more pleased!
Patrick Grimes photographed our destination wedding in Tucson, AZ. Being from Illinois, we had to find someone solely based on reviews online. All of the positive comments led us to choose Patrick as our wedding photographer. We definitely made the right decision. He was on time and was flexible when our schedule had to be adjusted. He stayed an extra hour at our wedding for a reasonable price. I would suggest paying for the CD of photos which allows you to keep all of the pictures. We love every, single picture on the CD. I would highly recommend Patrick Grimes for any wedding.
Patrick was a great photographer and cares enough to make sure he gets the shots right and puts a lot of attention to detail!So just make sure you give yourself enough time for photos! He also allows you to buy a CD of the pictures with printing rights which is definetely worth it because he captures so many great ones!
Patrick was absolutely great to work with! He took our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos and we couldn't be happier. The pictures are gorgeous, and really capture the essence of the day in how we felt and the joy everyone felt.
I was really impressed not only by the pictures, but with how attentive Patrick was to our needs. He patiently sat with me throughout all of my questions, quickly responded to e-mails, and always followed through with a phone call if needed.
Best of all, he was able to get my VERY shy husband out of his shell and make him look his best in the pictures. We really couldn't be more thankful for the perfect memories he's preserved for us. Thank you, Patrick for capturing us exactly how we are, and helping us keep our engagement and wedding fresh in our memories!
Patrick Grimes photography did an amazing job with our engagement photos and wedding day. My husband and I were very satisfied with the way all our photos came out. He was easy to work with and very professional. We looked at many photographers and a lot of them were way over priced and the quality was not that great. Patrick will work with your budget and make your day extra special. He had an amazing place that has lots of samples of his work which helped us make our decision. We also loved how easy his website is to access our photos and he has lots of sample photos to look through. Patrick is very flexible and, we were really happy we got to work with him. Patrick gives you the opportunity to express your relationship naturally and captures exciting moments. He made every moment special for my husband and I. We look forward to looking at our photos from our engagement and wedding for years to come. Thank you Patrick Grimes photography for making our photos amazing!
Patrick Grimes is incredible to work with! Not only are his pictures amazing and breathtaking, but he himself is a pleasure! Patrick did my engagement and wedding photos and they turned out beautiful! He is personable and easy to work with. He is truly dedicated to making his clients happy and it shows in every aspect of his business! I can't wait to use Patrick Grimes Photography again to capture more life memories!
Patrick photographed our rehearsal, welcome dinner and wedding day. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully but we were able to see them within 48 hours of our wedding! Patrick has incredibly fair pricing and managed to take over 700 photos on our wedding day! He has an incredible amount of experience and it is evident by how he managed to capture all of the best shots and moments of our day.
We feel really fortunate to have had you as our photographer. Great job!
Patrick is very organized, experienced, reasonably priced, creative personable and great to work with. We are so glad that Patrick was available to photograph our wedding. We have beautiful images that really capture the essence of our wedding day. Thank you Patrick!!!
Patrick was not only a great photographer, buy he helped us plan our wedding day. He knew what to do to get all of the images we wanted without spending too much time posing for photos. He was helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The images he captured were beautiful and really reveal the essence of our wedding day. We highly recommend Patrick to photograph your wedding. He was the best choice we made for our wedding day.
We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Patrick! Our special day was a full day, from the ceremony at 1pm until 9-10pm at the reception. Patrick not only drove more than 120 miles that day, he worked until that last minute and did a fantastic job. He was very professional and on time. Our photos came out perfect & couldn't ask for anything more. Towards the end of the day as tired as we were feeling, Patrick did such a great job to keep us going which was all worth it. I recommend Patrick to all my family and friends.
Patrick did an outstanding job of capturing treasured memories!! The joy and the blessings we enjoyed on that day are clearly reflected in his photos.
Patrick Grimes did an outstanding job at our Wedding Renewal. He was extremely professional yet personable making us feel at ease with any requests and ideas. His extensive creativity and overall experience helped with poses that I had not even thought of. One of the other reasons we chose Patrick is the pricing is reasonable and upon completion of our wedding he had our pictures up and sent to our home in a short time. If you want a quality photographer that makes your wedding or occasion memorable I strongly suggest Mr. Grimes and I would definitely use his services again.
We hired Patrick to do our wedding and engagement pictures. Our wedding is next June but we already had our engagement session and i must say it was a very pleasant experience. We had ideas we wanted to incorporate in our pictures and Patrick worked with us very gladly, also put a lot of effort on getting a specific picture we wanted taken and when he went back home he worked on it and made it exactly what we wanted and you can tell it wasn’t a 5 minute job. He is also very professional and knows what he is doing, his work reflects it. Made us feel very comfortable during the photo shoot and we got our pictures surprisingly fast. Price was also very reasonable. I am very happy to have chosen Patrick for our pictures and cannot wait for the wedding pictures.
Patrick did a great job of mixing black and white with color pictures. He is reasonable and the quality exceeds expectations for the package.
Love love love Patrick Grimes! Our friend used to be a second shooter for a wedding photographer during college. When it came time for her wedding she knew exactly who she wanted to use, Patrick Grimes. And her wedding pictures have been used in magazines! When we got engaged I,of course, turned to her for advice, and she said "hands down, Patrick Grimes". He was awesome to work with, very nice, and our pictures are AMAZING!!! Cannot say enough good things about our experience!
The pictures we recieved on disk have given us memories that will last a lifetime. I can't say enough how beautiful they are... 6 months later and we are still recieving complements on how beautiful our pictures turned out.
Upon first meeting, I knew he would be our photographer because of how easy he was to talk to and how much he made me laugh. When you visit his studio, it is clear he is a highly acclimated professional with an amazing talent and multiple awards. His art is personalized to your needs before the wedding, you get the final say in what you do and don't want done... however, I didn't know what I wanted. Patrick accomodated this by providing suggestions; he knows what works well in the business because he has been doing wedding photography for quite awhile.
On our wedding day, in the 6 hours he was with us, he shot over 1700 pictures and his assistant was shooting too, for the first few hours. Our wedding disc has over 600 perfect ones to choose from. No joke... it took my husband and I days to decide which 150 we likes best for printing. I digress.... Despite the chaotic nature of our wedding day, he helped keep the group calm and in order. Patrick helped keep the day running on time. An extra perk is that Patrick backs up your wedding photography on his external drives should you ever need another copy or want him to make prints or a book for you. Not all photographers offer this. Lastly, I met with several others, and it was clear that for what you pay for Patrick, you get 200% more quality in the same price range.
I highly recommend Patrick Grimes, he is well worth it!
Patrick Grimes was worth every penny! He took the time to get to know us and understand what my husband and I invisioned for our wedding day. He even memorized names of our family members! Patrick's "cheat sheet" helped us plan out exactly what photographs we wanted with what family members ahead of time, as well as showed us some other fun poses we didn't even think of. He's a Tucson local and has done weddings all over town. Local vendors know him and love him, but they especially know the quality he provides his customers and he came to us highly reccomended. I'm so glad we were able to book him! Patrick was personable, competent, and professional. And he relieved a lot of my wedding day stress with his humor!
My husband and I did a lot of research about photographers in Tucson. When all is said and done, pictures are what you have to remember the day by! Someone recommended Patrick to us, and so we decided to look him up. I am so glad we did! His prices are extremely reasonable, and I couldn't be happier about the pictures we ended up with! Patrick was extremely friendly and worked with us beforehand to know exactly what pictures were "must haves" on our list. He showed up early to set up, and was extremely professional. The whole night he managed to get pictures of all the important moments and the guests, without getting "in the way" of the wedding. For all the posed shots, he was great about arranging everyone in the best manner, and even fixed my train so that it laid perfectly! Even towards the end of the night as I started to freak out about everything running behind, Patrick was calm and reassuring, which is so important! The pictures came out wonderfully, and he did a phenomenal job of capturing all the emotions of the day. He sent us the disk of the photos so soon after the wedding, we had such a great time looking through them all when we got back from our honeymoon.
Bottom line - hire Patrick! You won't regret it!!!!!
Patrick Grimes is wonderful. I have nothing but great things to say about him and his photography. It poured rain all day the day of my wedding and there were ONLY outdoor areas to take pictures. I was certain that it would be impossible for Mr. Grimes to get any good shots. I was STUNNED at the beautiful photos he was able to capture. This is why you hire a talented professional!
I appreciate Mr. Grimes for his skilled photography, but his genuine care for his clients is even more impressive. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants his clients to have a special experience. Like any big event, chaos ensued, and Mr. Grimes paid me kind compliments and gave positive praise to keep me calm and content.
Call Patrick Grimes and at least make an appointment to sit down with him. Thank you Mr. Grimes for everything!!
Patrick is absolutely a wonderful and talented photographer, he is a true artist with his camera. The photographs he took of my daughters' wedding are truly beautiful and he captured the emotions of the moment and the happiness of the magical day!
Patrick is efficient and accommodating, and very patient, he came to the rehersal at the Venue and aquainted himself with the wedding party, and parents.
Patrick prices are very reasonable in comparison to other photographers of his caliber.
I recommend Patrick to anyone, who would love to have their special moment captured in their photographs, they will have the most beautiful, emotional moving pictures,and for that moment, those photographs will take their breath away......
When we first started planning our wedding everyone told us the one thing not to go cheap on was the photography. Keeping that in mind, I did some research and came across Patrick Grimes. His prices were WAY more reasonable than other photographers we met with and we knew as soon as we left our initial meeting that he was our photographer. He answered all of our questions and listened to our needs and expectations. The day of our wedding, he was professional and arrived well before his contract time. He got to work as soon as he was set up and didn't stop until things were done. We were very happy with all of our photos and would recommend him to anyone needing a photographer for their wedding!
