How is Patken photography and how are their prices?

Re: Patken

We went to look. We have not yet booked a photographer and are definatly taking them into consideration.

I have price quotes for both photo and video if you need them!

Re: Patken

We considered them but FH didn't like that the photos you see on the walls are not taken by the photographer that will do your wedding-they're the owner's photos. You don't meet the photog that will shoot your wedding until after you sign a contract. Their prices were reasonable and a lot of brides are very happy with them, including a freind of mine, so I would def. check them out for yourself- but I guess we were looking for more of a personal touch...we went with North Island Photography -Michael Rosengard is the owner and photographer and does beautiful work.

Re: Patken

we used them for our wedding and were very happy with them. i have proofs in my album. if you know which photographer you want, you can request them, and if they're available they will assign them to you. we requested Steve, and we loved him!! we found their pricing to be middle of the road - def not the cheapest, and far from the most expensive.

My sister got beautiful pics done by them...but when I went to see them I felt like I was just one in the line...not very personable..but I see they do a good job!

We had Jesse, and she was amazing we got great proofs and Tim did our video but we have not seen that yet. They both worked their asses off. She is very creative and was able get all the pics we wanted.

Re: Patken

I love their work but when you go and meet with them its like talking to a used car salesman.....it didn't feel personal

Re: Patken

we considered using patken - they have amazing reviews, but the bad ones are pretty bad, i just stumbled upon another not so good one the other day - under the brides review - it is called 'patken review'

Re: Patken

I looked into them...I really like Jesse's work, but I found that their prices were really high and they were not interested in coming down in price

Re: Patken

Thank you so much. Yes, they do assign you a photographer, but you can definitely request someone specific. I asked for Jessie to do the wedding, but she was unavailable, so thats how I wound up with someone else.

Re: Patken

Nick was my photographer and he was amazing! Everyone is going to have different opinions and experiences. My experience from beginning to end was excellent! Pics are in Album. Check out my review too!
I didn't give my photographer a 'must take list'
I wanted him to go with the flow and use his creativity. I'm so glad I did! My SIL had a must take list for her wedding and after a while, she just wanted to go enjoy her reception but HAD to let the photographer take the pics she requested.

Re: Patken

You can check my review for my photogs and what they had taken. I think they are a middle of the road with quality and pricing. I mean you can pay a ton and get top of the line photogs and pay less and get more traditional shots.

We were VERY happy with our photographs. I would of loved someone like AG but never could afford her.
