Just have to say that my FH and I LOVED having our engagement photos taken last night - with Doug Gordon as our photographer. My FH isn't a fan of having his picture taken, but Doug actually made it FUN! And he posed us PERFECTLY. Our favorite moments were looking into each other's eyes... totally can't wait for our wedding day for a full day of looking at each other for our pictures! And Doug kept us laughing for the full shoot so our poses were natural and beautiful! My FH looked GORGEOUS! . Doug is a natural at photography and keeping things fun! And the new albums they have in the Lindenhurst Patken studio are SO breathtaking... can't wait for OUR album!!!
Anyone who has Doug... NO WORRIES!!!

Re: VENDOR RAVE - Doug from Patken!!
no, you only get one free. We got that one, and I'm gonna go back to get one more. They're expensive! I was a little upset that you don't get the disc or the files, like other girls seem to get. You can BUY it for $130, but that seemed crazy to me.

thanks for the info :)
I told FH that there is a fireplace and now he is all excited - i hope there really is one because i only remembering seeing it once. . .he has this whole thing about having a 'winter' feel
he wants to actually wait until it snows and then take pictures outside i had to explain that the photog isnt ON CALL for us waiting for some flurries LOL
glad it was a good experience!

YES! We took pics in front of the 'fireplace', although I don't think you can see the fireplace in the pic, since it's so close up.
They have a lot of scenes you can pick. VERY Christmassy in there now!!!! There's FAKE snow, a wreath, Santa's sleigh (although I think that's for the kids ), a BEACH... very cool set up they have!

Re: VENDOR RAVE - Doug from Patken!!
I love Patken. I am so happy you and your FH loved taking the pics.
I wish I could have paid the extra amount to use Doug but I just couldn't swing it.
