Saw Patken in action @ a cousin's wedding. Didn't look like he worked very hard or took many pictures @ Reception.

I can only recommend J o V o n photography.
THE BEST TO WORK WITH FROM DAY ONE!!!

I see you went to the showcase too!!!

I have limited feedback on them since I did not meet with them more than a few minutes, and did not book yet.

Daniel Krieger seems to be the least expensive. Michael O'Neill didn't really give me too much info except for a broad price range, so no details on packages there. I wasn't keen on the idea of Patken going in, because you don't really know who your photog is going to be and they're a little expensive. When we met with them, they told us they don't give you the high-res files either, so we're definitely not going to use them. Botticelli is new to wedding photography. They're a portrait studio, and have only been doing weddings 3 years. So you can imagine my shock when the website said their packages START aat $8,000!!!!

HTH.

We met with Patken today and they told us that they do give you the high res on CD... I know this for a fact because FH is verrrry into photoshop and would NEVER book a photog w/out getting those high res on CD... the woman at Patken also said to be careful because other photogs will give you a CD but it will be lo-res... which isn't the case with Patken.
Anyway - I had a friend use Patken at her wedding and loved the way everything came out so we booked them today

I met with Daniel Kreiger. he was very resonable and willing to work with the price n stuff. I liked his work but it was very traditional not to much photojurnilsm. Its a family run business so his sis puts the albums together n his daughter or somebody like that is his asst.

I am a lil different from a lot of the girls, but I booked with PATKEN. I know 5 people who have used them and they are amazing. The pics are gorgeous and I just clicked with them.
