Patken question

I wanted to go meet with Patken , wanted to know which office you went to. Is there a difference? Some girls say to talk to Doug, in which office is he located? Thanks

Re: Patken question

Doug is out of the Lindenhurst office - Just make sure when you call he is there - Good luck

Re: Patken question

Thanks, is it rude to ask to talk to him only? The only reason I ask is becaue girls say that he can give better prices. Not sure if that is true.

Re: Patken question

Doug is the owner..hw is actually more expensive by about 1500..I requested Steve after seeing jenbabys pictures..he came highly recommended, I didnt even meet with him..I met with a sales girl and she gave us whatever we wanted..they are very flexible and very nice! Doug can maybe negotiate more because he is the owner..but liek I said..for him to do yoru wedding..he is a bit more.

Re: Patken question

Doug, Vinny and Steve are all in Lindenhurst.
Vinny and Steve are the most requested photographers so be sure to check if they are available for your date!!!!

Re: Patken question

I went to the one in Smithtown, but it is now closed. I knew I wanted Steve, so I didnt care who I spoke with.
They have an office now in Holdbrook near Villa Lombardis.

Re: Patken question

Our Patken experience was as follows: We went to their Mineola office a couple of weeks ago. We met with a sales girl, reviewed photos, videos, package info, etc. I felt very comfortable signing the contract on the spot as I've heard nothing but stellar reviews from LIW girls and as they are highly recommended by my hall (Villa Lombardis). We were told that we had to go to the Lindenhurst office next to meet with Doug, the owner, at which time he will go over everything we want and assign a photographer and take our engagment photo. We have our appointment at the end of the month.
