I am having a hard time choosing a photographer. The choices are between Jeffrey Studios, Pro-Line Studios and Patken. If you girls could please give your opinions based on experiences or knowledge of, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your time

Re: Choosing a Photographer.
My best friend used Patken for her 2009 wedding and she loved them. I saw all her photos and they were beautiful, her photographer was a woman named Jesse. My fiancé and I met with Patken as well and they were top contenders for price and style but we went with Thomas Paul instead and couldn't be happier. I didn't meet with the other 2 you mentioned. Good luck!

I'm not a Pro-Line fan. At least when I went to meet with them they were very factory0like. They couldn't tell me which photographer did which album, nor did they seem to care. They tried to play it off that all of their photogaphers are the same, and the albums DID look identical. They are consistnently very good, but I wanted something more artistic and a LOT more individual so I went with Artisan.
I've been reading some mixed reviews about Patken lately, and I've seen some mixed quality work.

I didn't go for Patken despite LOVING their style because we wouldn't get our pictures until SIX MONTHS after the wedding. We thought that was ridiculous, primarily because we were just looking to get digital proofs, not an album.

Kristy, go meet with Alan from Jeffrey's...he was awesome..and one of our classmates from HS works there... lol.
When I met with Patken I was really turned off by the owner. He literally told me he would release a can of whoop *** on me if I told people the price I got...which was not even that impressive. Don't threaten me.
Samantha from Watermill had her daughter's (or niece?) wedding at W, and used Alan. I know that kickbacks are involved in some way, but to me that doesn't matter since I want someone experienced, who shoots at that venue all the time, and has been personally used by the people who recommend them.
Just my two cents!

I used Alan from Jeffrey Studio and I can not say enough wonderful things about Alan and the whole staff. My proofs were ready in less than a week and Alan was so much fun, he really made my wedding day smooth!
