About this vendor
Patken Photographer Inc (www.patkenphotographer.com) established in Lindenhurst, N.Y is a family owned and operated photography studio serving world wide with offices in Long Island and Central Florida On a credit card and a dream Pat and Ken Gordon took a chance that would forever change the course of there lives and many others. Ken had been around weddings and photography his whole life starting as a teenager. He was hooked early on and loved the power of the arts. This led him to study at the famed School of Visual Arts in NY City. Unfortunately Vietnam and starting a family slowed his dream a bit to become a full time wedding and portrait photographer. After several years of letting there dreams sit idle and working for others doing what they had to do rather than what they were meant to do. They decided as a couple it was time for change. The time had come for Pat and Ken to stop dreaming. So in the basement of there Lindenhurst home back in 1985 Patken Wedding Photographer and Video were born. Ken dusted off his old Rolliflex Twin Lens Reflex camera and went for it.
As though he had never stopped the love affair with wedding photography was instantly reignited. Although it wasn't yet full time employment they were having the time of there life. Both Pat and Ken continued working day jobs while trying to manage Patken at night. Although the company was growing, they knew there was only so much they could do as part timers. That's when the light went on for them both which proved to be the turning point in Patken Photographers history. There son Doug Gordon who was a long time assistant for his dad was getting to the later years of High School. It was clear by his effort in school that college was probably not an option. So they made an offer that Doug couldn't refuse. Come help us grow! Work in the studio so that we are open full time, learn to sell, learn to create art rather than just photograph weddings and most importantly share who you are as a person and we will call you partner. At the young age of 16 while still attending High School Doug changed the destiny of Patken forever. For the first time in his life he knew what he was meant to do and loved to do. He was obsessed.To this day he says that it was his first love affair. The ability to create stories, make subjects feel good about themselves and freeze history was beyond exciting to him. " I love the fact that people remember there lives through my eyes, my feelings, my emotions and everything I am" he says. " wanted to be the best and for the first time in my life I was willing to work to get there". That work payed off as Doug Gordon has worked over the last 28 years to become one of the most well known and highly decorated photographers in the world with his crowing moment in 2011 when he was chosen as one of a very select few to ever receive a United Nations Leadership Award for his work as Wedding and Portrait Photographer.

I just got married this past Saturday and used Patken as my photographer, per a recommendation from a close friend whose family is in the business. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Patken, from very first conversations through wedding day. Vinnie and David were our photographers and Mike was our videographer and all were AMAZING. Everything was seamless, especially with both mine and my fiances' big and blended families. Vinnie is an absolute pro at making the whole day go smoothly and making you feel so comfortable through it all. We can't wait to see how our pics and videos turn out! Thank you to the whole Patken team!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Patken Photography! Doug took my parents’ wedding photos 30 years ago, so having him capture my wedding felt incredibly special. From start to finish, Doug and his team were professional, warm, and made the whole experience so enjoyable.
The photos came out absolutely beautiful—every moment was captured perfectly, from the big, emotional moments to the little details we didn’t even realize were happening. Doug’s artistry and talent shine through in every single shot. Knowing Patken has been part of our family’s story for generations makes these memories even more meaningful. Thank you, Doug, for preserving such a special day so perfectly!
If you're searching for a wedding photographer who blends professionalism with a personal touch, look no further than Patken Studio. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our stunning photos, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The team at Patken Studio was incredibly personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Their organization and attention to detail were evident from the very beginning, ensuring that everything went smoothly on our big day. They captured every moment with such creativity and care, and their approach made the whole experience a true pleasure.
The final photos were delivery promptly and exceeded our expectations, beautifully documenting the joy and emotion of our wedding day. I can’t recommend Patken Studio highly enough for anyone looking for a photographer who will not only deliver outstanding results but also make the process enjoyable and stress-free.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Doug and Patken Photography for our wedding and highly recommend this company to anyone interested! We met Doug at a wedding expo in Tampa and instantly knew we wanted to work with him. Their company is incredibly communicative, their prices are reasonable, and the end products are stunning!
Doug helped capture the best day of our lives, and made it easy to take all the photos needed on a wedding day. Our entire wedding party and family loved him and many have asked for his information for their big day. We plan on using Doug for all major life event photography & can’t thank him enough for all his hard work at our wedding!
I have nothing but praise for Patkin Photography. From our first meeting to the finished product, they held our hand every step of the way. The took the time to address my wife’s concerns and was able to deliver a fantastic product.
We worked with photographers Vinnie & Kevin. Our videographer was Micheal. These gentlemen were gems. They knew the grounds we secured for pictures and the layout of the venue.
We highly recommend Patkin to everyone. Patkin made us feel like family and for that we thank you- you can’t put a price tag on that!
Doug and the Patken team did my parents wedding more then 30 years ago and I knew this was the only way to go!! He captured all of our best moments and because of Doug and Kenneth, we'll get to cherish our big day forever!
My sister used Doug for her wedding. I knew when I got married I had to use Doug for my wedding pictures. I don’t like pictures of myself. So it was either having him do my pictures or nothing. Everyone I show my pictures too are amazed at them. To me they are not only just pictures but artistic work. I never got my engagement pictures done, and Soug told me whenever I wanted to get them done that he would do them for me. It’s almost 21 years later. I have recommended so many people to Patken. I highly recommend anyone to use them!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
Sincerely,
The Rivera’s

I just got married and Doug's team shot all of my big events - my engagement, my shower, and my wedding! I couldn't be happier with the output ... the photos that we've received have been absolutely beautiful. What I loved most about working with the Patken team is that everything was efficient...my husband and I come from big families / friend groups, and they covered so much ground without dragging out photo sessions so we can get back to what really mattered at our events...celebrating! From our initial booking to getting our photos back, Doug and his team have been incredible to work with and have truly listened to what I like and dislike to be sure the end result was tailored to my taste. I firmly believe you can show them anything as examples and they can mold the output to match it, all while maintaining the utmost quality, style, and professionalism Patken has become known for. I couldn't recommend this team more!
Thank you Doug, Cindy, Beatrice, Michael and the rest of the Patken family. Our wedding was incredible thanks to you guys! You guys made it so easy and fun to take pictures and videos. Thank you for all of the attention and we’re so excited to see the results! We’re so excited to continue working with you in the future for more events! ♥️
I found Doug at a Wedding expo. My big selling point was being able to have a photographer that has done diverse couples/families for weddings. My husband and I never seem to be able to get photos since our skin tones are so different and our wedding was going to have a wide array of skin toes so we needed a person who would be able to handle that. Doug went above and beyond our wildest dreams! While I love having my picture taken my husband is a bit more shy but Doug made it so fun! He is patient, absolutely hilarious, for a lack of better word; perfect.
His attention to detail is absolutely amazing! All of my guests came up and told me how amazing he was and so did my wedding coordinator for my venue. He was able to to both photo and video for us, and hen I say you could see him running around everywhere I mean it!
As a event coordinator myself I found having him onsite truly gave us a peace of mind and we where able really able to enjoy our day.
Doug and his team were amazing right from the beginning. Sean and I are not picture people, but Doug knew exactly how to put us at ease. He knew when to use humor but always remained professional. When we received our pictures (which were so quick) we loved them, finding it hard to choose our favorites. Having beautiful memories in print from Patken Photography is priceless.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Doug and the entire Patken Photographer team for our Wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we reached out, Doug and his team were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
We were absolutely stunned when we received our photos and video—they were breathtaking! Every emotion, every detail, was beautifully preserved, allowing us to relive our wedding day over and over again.
Me & my husband got married on 12-3-23 what a fairytale, we couldn't of asked for a more better crew to make this happen for us. We had vinny, nick & Bea which rocked completely. It was raining and couldn't to our fake snow out of the church so we did it at at the reception at night time it came out so beautiful. Doug handled all of it from front to end. A Christmas wonderland. The entire team was so personable made me so calm even during the most chaos moments throughout the day. i had a bridal party of 30 plus people and family, makeup crew, hair crew so imagine how they handled that many people. 5 PLUS stars for this photographer vendors. i recently found out that my husband's grandmother used them when she got married in the 80s so very sentimental to us. PLEASE USE THEM!!!!
WITH LOVE EVANGELIA & DOMINICK RIFICE
Our photographer Kevin and videographer Michael were kind, efficient and absolute pros!! We loved working with them! They made everything go super smoothly. I will happily recommend them to my friends and family.
From the first call with Doug to the engagement photoshoot to the big day the Patken team was there for us every step of the way. Cindi was great and always there to answer any questions we had. We were fortunate enough to work with Sabrina for our engagement shoot and for our big day. Kevin worked on our montage and did an amazing job! He created our video quickly and made any requested adjustments the same day. John was our videographer and was great to work with on the big day. I cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Sabrina, she not only did a great job as a photographer, but was there to help with anything we needed, including my dress with an enormous train and what seemed like a thousand buttons. Anytime I needed help she was there in a second. She made us feel super comfortable and was there to support us the entire day. Our experience with the Patken team was great and I would say if you want a stress free wedding day go with them because they will be there to support you 100%. They are also available at any time you reach out. Whenever I reached out, I got a response almost immediately. Thank you to the entire team!!
David our photographer was amazing!!! He truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience of mine and my husband's wedding seamless and fun. He works with us being that it was raining to ensure that we got the best pictures possible and to make it as easy as it could be with the changes due to the weather. He also tried to make the timing of certain photos appropriate for us so that we can enjoy our wedding and also get the pictures we wanted. If I could give him more than five stars I would! Nick was our videographer and the perfect fly on the wall. He made himself available to us but also captured so many great moments without feeling like he was even there which made us feel more natural and more loose. We are truly grateful for that since my husband and I aren't used to having that sort of attention on us especially constant videoing. He also was super supportive and helpful every step of the way even standing out in the rain to capture me leaving my limo to come to the church for the ceremony. Both Nick and David were excellent and I could not say enough to describe how lucky my husband and I are to have had them capture our wedding! Patken is fantastic! We would recommend them again and again to capture everyone's special moments!!!
If you’re looking for a photographer for any occasion…especially a wedding…look no further. Patken never disappoints. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Their photographers are first class and completely professional and very artistic. My photos came out phenomenal. I am over the moon happy ! Call them you will be ecstatic with the results !
Doug and David did such an incredible job with our wedding!! Doug was always available to speak with and ask any and all questions; he made the entire process so easy. David also did our engagement shoot and we loved working with him!! Michael, our videographer, was also incredible. The 3 of them worked seamlessly at our wedding and made us laugh and feel so comfortable the entire time. Thank you all so much!!
We used Patken for our wedding in January. Doug was excellent with coordination and made it so easy. We had Vinnie as our photographer who was amazing! Our photos came out so beautiful and timeless. We had a variety of options, poses & ideas that gave us such a selection to choose from!! Micheal was our videographer who has incredible editing skills. Our wedding film came out incredible. Overall these two made this process of our wedding so simple and easy. They were friendly and funny as well as punctual and organized. Thank you Patken for being such an incredible vendor!!!
I want to give the biggest shout out to Sabrina she was absolutely amazing in every way possible. We had a big bridal party and she made it looks easy thank you so much for making our wedding day the best ever and capturing every moment possible. Patken is highly recommended
Fantastic! We would like to thank Patken Photography for making our wedding day so special. Our photographer, Vinnie, and videographer, Michael, were not only professional, but also entertaining, easy to work with, and went beyond our expectation. All around excellent in every way. Highly recommend!
Doug was so helpful booking everything for our special day! We had the absolute pleasure working with Sabrina and I can’t rave about her enough! She answered every question I had and made it a point to get the shots that mattered the most to me. Sabrina made me and my husband feel comfortable through out the whole process! You won’t regret working with Sabrina!!
Sabrina, Doug , Mike and everyone at Patken were so amazing to work with for our wedding! We were originally booked during COVID and they helped us navigate rescheduling 4 wedding dates until we finally had our celebrating in June 2022! Sabrina was amazing from our first phone call, on our wedding day and through the process of editing and photo album selections! She made us feel comfortable and made the photo to taking experience on our wedding day fun! We are so grateful for how she captured our love and we will have those memories forever! We highly recommend them! Thanks Patken!
Sabrina was so easy to work with. We first met her at our Getting To Know You Session and she immediately made us feel at ease and comfortable. We knew we wanted her to photograph our Wedding. She did not disappoint!! We highly recommend her for her professionalism and her dedication to making couples feel extra special on their important day.
Nothing but the best things to say about Sabrina from Patken. We used her for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. On our wedding day we opted for a second photographer and had Beatrice as well. Both girls were professional, friendly, and made me and my husband feel completely comfortable. Sabrina listened to what we gravitated towards style wise, and didn’t push us to do anything that we felt uncomfortable in. So thankful for them both, and would definitely recommend to any brides in the future!!
Today, our wedding album came in and it's fantastic! The black formatting made it look dramatically romantic. Doug understood our vision from the beginning!
We got married this April and I can’t speak highly enough of Sabrina at Patken. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a wedding or engagement photographer. From our very first meeting she took so much time to not only take some practice photos of us, but also to explain her process and little tips and tricks for the big day (all before we were even booked with her officially!) Leading up to the wedding she continued to talk through details with me as often as I wanted and was always so prompt in answering questions. It’s so helpful to have someone who had obviously been through it a bunch to provide us with direction and guidance through the entire planning process. On our actual wedding day Sabrina took away all my stress! From the moment she showed up I stopped worrying about how everything would fall into place. She was organized, attentive and thoughtful. I got several compliments from my family and bridal party about how smooth everything went and how grateful they were to get all photos done fast enough to enjoy cocktail party! Sabrina was the best I could have asked for! She’s the main reason our day went so smoothly, we got every single shot we needed, and had so much fun doing it!
Sabrina is an exceptionally talented photographer. From the moment we met her for our engagement photos, we loved her personality! I can’t find enough good things to say and I couldn’t thank her enough. She truly made the wedding experience for us so much easier with all she had to offer. She was able to get all the photos I requested and every photo was executed amazingly. All of our photos came out perfect! She was fun and easy to work with and she was very commandeering. I would recommend Sabrina to photograph anyones event! 10/10
Patken is absolutely amazing! Our photographers and videographer reached out to us before to discuss our expectations and go over the flow of the day. They took our vision and made it come to life. They were a great addition to our party with their big energy. They got us our video and picture fast and worked with us on our album. They were easy and great to work with!
Patken was incredible to work with!! Doug made sure we got a good price and was very involved. Sabrina was our photographer and she was amazing!! We had kids in our bridal party and she worked great with them!! We have a 9 year old and she went above and beyond to make her feel special as well. Our guests also commented how great she was. She took every photo I asked for and even tho it rained she made sure we got outside for some photos!
Doug was AMAZING! He was very punctual. We had all our photos done before our trolley came to take us to the reception! He advocated for me at the reception and served as a great announcer, too!
We had a great experience with Patken before and on our wedding day! Sabrina and Michael were a pleasure to work with and made sure we fit in all the shots on our timeline. Communication was super easy and I never waited long for a response. Happy that they were a recommended vendor since a close family member already used Patken for all of their parties and events! Would highly recommend!
Mr. Doug blessed our family with being a part of our wedding day and Wedding Wish. He is very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient with everyone to get the perfect shots and moments. Thank you for everything. We highly recommend Patkens Photography!!!!!!
Wow, I cannot express how amazing Patken has been through this entire process! They were professional and organized yet fun, creative, and all around rockstars! We are absolutely thrilled with these memories that they captured for us at our wedding!
Words cannot express just how good Patken Photography is. From start to finish, the process with them was seamless and so easy. Do NOT go anywhere else.
First, Doug is a fantastic owner. He is easy to talk with, works with you on what you need, makes adjustments as needed, is always open to suggestions and is overall, just one of the kindest men you will meet. Doug treats every customer like they are family.
Cindy is the best. She keeps you posted on when payments are due but doesn't hound you. She is flexible and helps make sure you have what you need. She confirms appointments and double checks everything with a smile on her face the whole time. She is one of the most professional individuals my wife and I have ever come across.
And our photographer, Vinnie? Amazing. He is beyond a pro. Words cannot express how lucky we are to have had him. He is the best. It was like a close family member taking photos. We had two days full of festivities and he was on point the whole time. Always knew what to do, was talking with us the whole time, was placing us in the right spots and just lives his job. In all the right ways. Vinnie is perfect. You cannot find someone who is better than Vinnie, I promise.
The video team is amazing as well. They blend in and are so fun. All three of them make an effort to work side by side with Vinnie and make the experience perfect. They are some of the kindest people you will come across.
Overall, go with Patken. You literally cannot find a better company. You can try but you won't succeed. You will love going with Patken and won't regret a single second of it.
Doug and Kevin were my photographer and videographer. Doug had done our engagement shoot and he was hysterical. Made sure we smiled and laughed the entire shoot. Kept it moving! Both Kevin and Doug were personable with the timeline and our shot list in mind kept people on their toes to get the shots we wanted. Gorgeous!
Patken Photographer is the absolute best! We have used Patken for our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, maternity pictures, and our newborn pictures. Sabrina is an amazing photographer! She goes above and beyond to make sure she gets the perfect shot! She is dedicated to her work and ensures your vision comes to light. I highly recommend using Patken Photographer for any event!
Patken photography is the best and I will continue to use them and recommend them for any future events. Doug has been so personal with us since our first phone call and made us feel so comfortable immediately. Fortunately , we were randomly assigned Sabrina for our engagement shoot and we loved her since that day. She was soo funny, personable, and relatable, yet professional and educated in the art world. We had full confidence in her after seeing our photos and personally requested her to shoot our wedding. She was there early and blew us away with her talents even more than we expected. Our videographers were amazing as well. We worked with Michael and Nick who captured every moment of our special day and tailored the video to our special requests. So very pleased with Patken and the whole crew!
Patken Photographer was absolutely amazing! Our photographer Sabrina and videographer Mike really made our big day fun, and stress free! What an amazing team!
I used for my wedding photography/videography, maternity shoot and engagement shoot. Patken photography was very flexible with scheduling and costs. We worked with Sabrina as our photographer with all of our photoshoot and she was great. Her energy is very welcoming and patient. Taking pictures and posing can be awkward for me and my husband but she made us feel very comfortable and our pictures came out beautiful for every shoot
Patkens Photography made our wedding top tier!!! It all started with meeting Doug, the owner, to discuss what our wedding needs were and what our day would look like. He was amazing, honest and very personable. We know after meeting with him that Patkens was our number one choice. Sabrina was our photographer. We met her for our engagement shoot and loved her since. Not only is she an incredible photographer, she is such a kind person. We got along great, she was funny and make us feel comfortable. She ran my whole wedding day, from telling me a time lime to creating the most perfect shots. She made everything seamless and it’s all thanks to her. Her work is incredible!!!!
Patken was great!!
Doug, Patken and all the employees were amazing.
Kevin, our photographer, was exceptionally great-great energy on a really hot and stressful day!
I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding day!
Patken Photography made our Wedding Day Special. Pictures are one of the most important aspects of your special day and we were excited from the first moments of talking to the Patken Photography team. Doug understood how important getting pictures with our family was and kept us laughing as the team made sure special moments from our big day were captured. We are so happy for making the right choice! The photos that Doug and team captured are priceless.
Absolutely amazing!!! Sabrina was literally the best, she went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect! I cannot say enough good things about her. She is so friendly, caring, and talented! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding I promise patken will make your day perfect.
Kevin and Ruben were amazing! They made our photos/videos so easy and had us laughing the whole time. They got our photos done quickly and let us enjoy the night while they continued to capture all the other parts of our wedding night. Wouldn’t recommend any other company and definitely wouldn’t recommend any other pair!
When you are planning a wedding - I would argue that the most important decision you will make besides who you will marry, is commemorating the amount of love and work that goes into your big day. That means hiring a photography company that will take the same meticulous care in celebrating and embracing you and your family as you will do with your soon to be spouse.
In full transparency -- I had my doubts about Patken. They came highly recommended, and my soon-to-be husband advocated for them. I was worried that because they were the number 1 company, they
would not give my wedding the attention it deserved! So as a semi bridezilla, I did my due diligence. I set up phone calls, did FBI, CIA, NYPD and all the alphabet background checks, stalked their online profiles,
and sent emails. Despite all of this - they were welcoming and kind. (I guess my bridezilla game was weak, but I digress!)
I still had my doubts but my fiancé was sold and in the spirit of compromise - (All that pre-marital counseling was working!) I agreed to Patken. It was the BEST decision EVER. (We will not officially put
that on record that my husband was right! How easily we forget all that pre-marital counseling.)
Your wedding is special. There must be a care that people have on such a sacred and life-changing day. Even though, I remembered when they arrived - I don't remember that they were there. They were gentle, warm, patient, and honestly loving. In fact, Doug the owner - helped my mom fasten my dress (wedding dresses are unique with fastens - choose wisely) Doug became my honorary bridesmaid.
And because they were number 1 - they knew all the venues we chose for the wedding. That meant they got the best photos. For all you Facebook people out there - that's important For all you Instagram
people - that's paramount. I kid you not - my photos look like they should be in Vogue (If you know anyone at Vogue - pass this message on!)
Overall - the precision and care they took that day made me feel like my husband and I were their favorite client. (I am going to stick with that belief.) What made their presence even better - was what they gave us after. Our wedding video and photos are gorgeous. I am proud that they will be part of my family history and archive. To say that they exceeded my expectations is an understatement.
If you want people who will treat you like family on your wedding day, make you feel beautiful, will honor you, and find a way to capture your dreams on paper - Patken is the way to go.
I was nervous after reading reviews after we had already signed the contract but they ended up being one of our favorite vendors. We had Vinnie, Dave & some assistant we weren’t told was coming until he was already there. Venue didn’t say anything but we also had two guests no show so 🤷🏻♀️. Vinnie took photos of me getting ready and this man does it all!! My maid/matron of honor and my mom all had trouble getting the back of my dress to close and he was able to do it no problem. He did a great job at keeping everyone on the same page with photos and did great with the ring bearers & flower girls. I also have to thank Vinnie SO MUCH for suggesting that we skip taking photos at the park and just go straight to the venue instead. We ended up getting to Watermill around 6ish so it only would’ve been 30 minutes or less of taking photos at the park by the time we got there. Vinnie was also great at making sure that he got all of the shots I would want as well as checking with me one last time to see if I needed anything else before he left. Dave, our other photographer, was very calm and attentive. He and the assistant were talking to me while I was inside the limo waiting to go in the church and seemed very personable- asking how my husband and I had met and asking questions about the day. I obviously haven’t gotten my photos back yet but I am sure they will be great! Michael did our video and did a great job at getting plenty of shots. We decided to get video after seeing my moms old wedding video so she insisted we do table interviews like they used to do back then. During the phone call he explained he won’t be able to interview every single person but will do his best to try to get to everyone. Not sure how many people he interviewed but he had a set up in the lounge area (where cocktail hour was) and people seemed to love him as well! He also sent me a follow up email to give me a time estimate on when we will get our video as well as a reminder to send in our songs of choice.
We just got Married 3.6.22
Patken is most definitely the way to go!
After planning everything with Doug the owner and talking with him he knew who to match me up with for the day of!
Luckily I met Vinny for our engagement shoot and he took the most amazing photos and we were happy to have met him before the wedding
Vinny was outstanding the night of our wedding and Michael the Videographer was the best too!
Both of them go hand in hand together so if you book them request them together!
I couldn’t be happier with everything!
Patken has lifetime customers!!!!
Love Patken and we didn’t want our night to end!!!!!
I got married in November of 2021 and had booked Patken as our photographer and videographer. They were an absolute dream! Kevin and Jessie were our photographers and did such a wonderful job! They truly captured the entire day. Mike, our videographer, was also wonderful! Our wedding trailer came out amazing and sent it to us a week after our wedding! Kevin, Jessie, and Mike made our day run so seamless. They are all so talented and really know how to make a bride and groom feel special on their wedding day! Everyone we have came into contact from Patken was such a pleasure to work with! Can’t recommend them enough!
Brian and John were the best photographers / videographers! They were professional, efficient and extremely kind throughout the whole day! I am thankful for their support and swiftness - as these got me through the photos and straight onto our party! Doug certainly chose the right staff and we will be considering them for all future events!
My daughter got married during Covid and Patken was so profesional,helpful and ensured that there was safety envolved. I definitely recommend Patken Photography they did such an amazing job with my daughter’s wedding pictures. Sabrina was their photographer and she made them feel so comfortable and natural. They are so professional and polite and did their best to capture their moments even with the rain. Loved how they contacted my daughter weeks before to know more about the family and both the bride and groom. This really helped them capture special moments through their wedding and Patken was prepared for every moment. They even helped us to make sure that my daughters and son in laws dog was part of every picture which was amazing since they love their dog. Final results were so beautiful I’ll definitely recommend them for any events. We will be using them again for my daughters baby shower and more events to come.
Thank you Patken for making my daughters wedding day amazing and capture such amazing pictures 😊!!!
Got married in June 2021, after the entire pandemic Patken Photographer was professional and well respected. They were highly recommend from the venue and throughout the entire process from engagement pictures to the wedding everything went according to plan. They responded back in emails in a timely manner, they assisted us with many questions and they captured every picture and record every moment. John took our engagement pictures and record the videos and Sabrina took our wedding pictures. At the end of the day it was all laughs and a joy to have Patken Photographer in our wedding. Would not change a thing !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!
The staff at Patken photographers are absolutely amazing. From the office staff to the photographers and videographers they make your event the most special event you would ever have. My daughter‘s sweet 16 was truly a night to remember. Sabrina and Jimmy captured all of her wonderful memories without being intrusive. I cannot wait to see the final products. I would definitely use them again.
Words can not express the incredible professionalism, creativity, talent and kindness. From every second, Doug captured unimaginable beauty of my daughter day I am speechless. There was not a moment missed, not a second he wasn't on point. From every angle, every square footage, every guest, the breeze in her hair, the tears of the groom, everything. Proofs in less than 24 hours , one photo is better than the next. Doug, you have blessed our lives and our hearts with your attention to detail, your compassion and your true talent for who you are and what you do. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you for everything, a day we will remember forever.
100000% recommend. Patken was awesome from the day we booked. Steve and John were absolutely great and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and videographer to be apart of our special day!
We had the pleasure of working with Doug on our wedding day. During the day, Doug constantly made us feel comfortable(because we all know some wedding poses can be awkward 😄.) Doug knew exactly what he wanted and was super organized when directing all of us. The transition from picture to picture was done with such ease. His personality was contagious and he was able to catch PERFECT shots. We received our photos a few days later and we were amazed by how they all came out…every single picture. I had faith that he was going to provide amazing photos but I had no idea they were going to be as beautiful as they’re. I can’t say thank you enough to Doug. You truly are an artist and you captured the most important day of my life in the most beautiful way possible. I will forever be thankful for these pictures! Doug, it was a pleasure and anyone would be lucky to work with you!!
We also, had a wonderful experience with the videographer. Mike and Doug worked perfectly together, understood our vibe and matched it. Our video trailer was amazing. We can’t wait to see the whole video!!
Thank you Mike and Doug for making us laugh all day and for editing the sweat off my forehead😂!!l
Doug and the entire Patken team were amazing! They were thoughtful with every shot, didn’t miss a thing and were so fun to work with. The pictures came out incredible and caught each moment perfectly. The formal shots were on point and candid ones captured all of the excitement! I highly recommend them to anyone!!
The most professional photographer/ videographer company we talked to. On our wedding day the photographer and videographer who came made our day perfect. They were very comforting and made our day full of laughs. During the photos they made it run smoothly with directions on where to take the photos with such ease. Our wedding trailer and video were absolutely amazing, high quality results! I would completely recommend hiring them for your special day!
I can't say enough great things about Patken!!! Big kudos to Sabrina who was our photographer for our wedding day and wedding reception, her pictures are stunning! She is professional and fun and does all the prep work to make sure she takes all the shots you want. Our videographers Jimmy, Doug and Kenneth were amazing and a pleasure to work with! We can't thank the entire Patken team enough for everything and they were so accommodating with changes during the pandemic. We are so thankful for the beautiful pictures and videos!!!! Can't wait to make our album :)
