I think Im going with Patken... but scared !!

I know this sounds funny- but

I am honestly scared to book my photog... Did anyone else have these feelings... like maybe i am making the wrong decision???

Their price was phenom!! and I am getting everything I want included... their pics are soooo nice...

I was very impressed..

Ive been to see 2 other photogs besides them who have great pics also, bt prices were really high... hmm

Should I just book them..??

maybe take a couple more days to think about it.

Your photog is very important and you have to be 150% sure.

When i booked my photog and wasn't scared

This is such an important vendor...so understand you being scared. I was really confident in my photographer choice b/c she was really the one and only one I wanted from the beginning. If you are hesitant...maybe look around a bit more

I asked myself these questions.. (aside from price and what am i getting)

1) do I like their work?

2) can I work with them for 10 + hrs on my wedding day and feel comfortable?

3) do I have rights to the photos? (if this is important to you)

I felt these were more important than what I was getting for my dollar, but that's just my opinion.

If you are satisfied with at least your answers to questions #1 and 2, I say book them.

What does FH say?

FH thinks i should book them without looking at any Tothers. He is going back with me on Tuesday.

I think I should go see one more place...just to make sure... the one thing that I liked was the fact that there was no time limit..the price is so good!!!

The one downfall is only one photographer... Is that standard?

i had met with several photogs and liked some but decided just to meet some more in case...and ended up finding the one i love. i have never doubted the decision.

i would look into a few others so you can feel confident in the decision. you may end up meeting others and realize u really do love patken.

good luck!!

I am having one photographer. I was told that it's nice to have a second one but It all depends on the size of the wedding. I am having 120 people. Is there an option that you can pay for a second photographer?

What are your other concerns about them?

Book it.... everytime I look at someone else's pics I get nervous that I made a wrong choice too. But I loved the guy and I wanted to book him on the spot. Do what your gut tells you. Quality + great pricing = perfecto!!

I know at least 5 people in FH's family that have used Patken.. & all I have to say is their pics & video is like no other!..FH wasn't getting what the difference was until I we had a viewing of his sister's pics & video as well as FBIL's brother's. Then I showed him some of the photographer's work online & even videos of their &now he sees that there is no comparison. They really are THE best. We're meeting with them in a few weeks & are def. booking them. Good Luck & keep us posted!!

For us...esp. me, it was a hard decision. You need to be comfortable with your vendors...esp photog/videographer. They spend a lot of time with you.. .and your comfort level can come across in your pics. Shop around....check reviews and on here. I heard really good things about Patken though.
Good Luck!

If you're that nervous, check out a few other photogs and make sure you're comfortable. You def. want to be sure- the photog is very important!

I agree with Colleen, check out a few more to make sure that Patken is definately the one. You migh also one to check reviews on here under Brides review. Of course remember, that you have to filter our reviews too and there will always be a share of not so good ones.

I think when you find the right one you won't be scared.

Who else did you look at b/c Patken was actually a little more then what we are getting charged at Duet.
