I'm going to be unpopular here in a bit but I do not like Patken. A close family member is using them and just did their engagement pictures. IMO they were super cheesy. And even worse - when I have seen other Patken engagement shoots, all the pictures are similar to each other. So far example - many of them have the same shots like stare off into space and look at the ring at the same time, stand by a random barn door. I am sorry if I sound mean but I am just not in love with the style. But to each their own I guess.
I'm not the biggest Patken fan either. I think their work is okay, it's better than some, not as nice as others... but the thing with the e pics is that the pics you are seeing are included... if you pay extra, you can have a unique off site engagement shoot, I guess a lot of people just choose not to do that.
I would definitely book Patken over ADA though just based on the things I've heard.
Ok maybe this is true but I also wasn't a big fan of their wedding albums that I saw either. I mean when I was showed their engagement pics I had to find nice things to say because they were so not my style.
