Patken Photo- Anyone have Reccomendations

Hi we are using Patken for our pictures. We are going to meet with them this Monday for our E-pics Does anyone have any reccomendations which phtographer we should use? Steve is already taken and we can't afford the owner. Thanks

Update
UHHH,....... I don't know how my question resurfaced so I'll give an update I booked with Frankie (Bones) He is really professional and his pics were great!

I am using Vinny from Patken - according to them Steve and Vinny are the first ones booked.

Good luck with your e-pics!!!!

I'm using Patkens for my wedding photos. My wedding is in August of this year. My photographer is Frank, I haven't met him yet. We're taking our engagement photos with him the end of this month, I'll keep you posted.

p.s. they are great with photos, but DON'T use their video services - poor quality footage

From what I hear, Steve, Vinny & Doug are the best. But some girls on here have had good luck with Frank too.

Here are some pics I found on this site done by Frank at Patken. If you want to see more do a search and under 'member Name' type in 'Debbus'.

Also, I booked Patken for both my photo and my video. (I was crazy enough to re-budget expenses to have Doug- I couldn't help myself- I LOVE his work!) Many people rave about Steve and Vinny and I have also heard some good things about Frank. I also have viewed their sample wedding video and it is beautiful. I have heard nothing put wonderful feedback from those who have used them for both. Good luck!

You have never heard of Patken? He is awesome!
I posted my proofs & I am very happy!

As for video, Wild rose is incredible.

I used Steve for my wedding day, and Vinny did my E-pics. He did a fine job.

We are using Patken as well. We have Frank (bones) for our photographer. My mom and I actually got to meet him this past monday. We really liked him and we walked out feeling very comfortable!!!
