It took about 5 weeks for us to get our proofs. Who was your photographer?

We had Steve, who was absolutely wonderful. Its been just over 4 weeks, maybe by this time next week they will be ready.

Yeah they probably will be ready next week. I was too anxious so I called around the 4 week mark. They weren't ready then but a few days later I got the call that they were ready.

Mrs. B did you get your's yet? I'm dying to see mine!

MrsB92713 Posted:

Nope. Been over 6 weeks now. Called yesterday and they said they would post them online today if I paid my balance but the actual books and disc won't be ready for another week and a half. Not paying the balance just to look at the pics online. Eff that. I'll wait the week and a half. I've already waited this long.

Colleen, did you do photo thank you cards with Patken too?

MrsB92713 Posted:

Yes. Hoping to be able to send them out at the beginning of January. I don't want them to get mixed in with holiday cards.

MrsB92713 Posted:

I know. People don't expect them until a few months later though. They know the pictures take time.

Yeah I'm getting irritated. The thank you thing is annoying me. I'm kind of wanting mine to double as Holiday cards though :)

That's how I felt about it. We did the same thing with our STDs last year. Sent them the 2nd week of January.

My wedding was 10/19 i called earlier this week to find out because of course i wanted to know about tyhank you cards as well as my proofs. I was told early next week i would be able to pick a pic from online to use for thank you's. The following week my proofs would be ready. Who were your photographers? WE used Kevin who was awesome and Jared cuz he came recommended. Im not sure how i felt about him. We had an issue day of wedding with him. Also did everyone who used PAtken notice there photog left 45 minutes before the party ended?

Yeah same here Misha! They left at like 10:15 and missed the best moment of the wedding (in my humble opinion :) Our last song was 'Time of my life' from Dirty Dancing and we didn't plan it at all but my hubs was on one side of the dance floor and I was on the other and he just held out his hands and I took of my shoes and I ran and he lifted me up like Baby. It was awesome and I would love to have a picture of that moment but I don't :( None of the guests have it either.

We had Steve who was amazing. He was the last person to say goodbye tous, roughly 115am, our reception ended at 1am.

We had Kevin for my one BFFs wedding in 2010, he also did DH and I's engagement shoot, we liked him a lot. Lasr year another one of my BFFs had Jarred. We thought he was really rude. I attributed it to the fact that it was the day before hurricane Sandy hit and every one was stressed.

I am using Patken for my wedding next June. I think based on this thread I will recommend not to have Jarred. Kevin did our engagement shoot and we liked him a lot.
