PATKEN PACKAGE PRICING & QUALITY

I AM INTERESTED IN PACKAGE PRICING FOR PATKEN PHOTOGRAPHY. I NEED TO FIND OUT THE STARTING PRICES AND IF ANYONE ELSE HAS USED THEM. FROM THEIR WEBSITE THE PHOTOS LOOK GREAT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL AND NOT NOTICABLE 'UNSEEN' FOR MY WEDDING. THANK YOU :)

PATKEN PACKAGE PRICING & QUALITY

I used them and they were great. I also had 2 friends that used them. Your best bet is to call them and get prices. It's hard to say because every package is different. You need to tell them what your looking for, parent albums..... Mine was in the $2,000 range.

We are using Patken, and my sister had used them for her wedding. They are GREAT!!!! If you give them a price range/or on a budget, they will work a package to suit your budget. Good Luck!

Hi, We just went to Patken and she also reccommended to use Vinny, but I'm concerned about them not using a lighting assistant, everyone else uses at least one. Please respond with commnents

Patken Photography...lighting assistant

I am thinking of using Patken but was also worried about not having a lighting assistant. If you speak to them again maybe you could see how much they would charge for one. Another company I spoke with charges $100 for one. If you find out please let us know. Thanks

Patken Photography...lighting assistant

I'm going this SAT. We actually asked for Dough since he was so highly reccomended on this site. But he charges a premium. There take on it is that the lighting assistant is an under paid employee who's heart is'nt in to the event so they really arent needed. Not sure where I stand with yet. But I'll let you know.

We just picked up our proofs from our 5/12/01 wedding that Doug did for us at Villa Lombardi. They are absolutely gorgeous. They made me cry. The premium Doug charged was worth it and more.He did have an assistant that he was training. He really didn't do too much of anything. Doug did it all, he just carried his equipment. As far as I know though all you have to do is tell them you want a helper, they won't scharge for it whether it's Doug or any of his staff. He's the best, I wish I could post my photos.

PATKEN

Hi! I used Patken in March. I used Doug (the owner's son) and was thrilled with him. He took my engagement portrait and did my wedding. I have never seen an album like mine. He was great and you didn't even know he was there at the reception. I will definitely use him again for anything in the future. Use Doug in Lindenhurst Patken.
