Her only ask is that no image be altered and credit be given where credit is due. All super reasonable and understandable. My partner and I are both shy / awkward in front of a camera (and in real life in general), but Kim has a great eye and made us look GREAT, while her calm demeanor also helped us feel not stressed (vs we have interacted with photographers at events that get frustrated that we lack physical self awareness to know how to tilt our heads / arms / torso etc to get a "good shot" to the point where the photographers had to move us like mannequins and we were so hyper focused on holding all the different angles, we could barely smile). Thank you so much Kim ~

Updated 12/17 A…read morecompany that stands by their product but is willing to step back and place their customers doubts before their own speaks volumes. This is the type of service you get with Patken. I recently gave a 4 star review even though in the beginning i was all 5, because i was truly disappointed with the retouching of some of my pictures. But after making my concerns known, Doug and his team went back to the filtering boards and re did my pictures for me. For all future brides and those craving for your memories to be immortalized, Patken is the team for you. ______________ Beware this will be a lengthy review Every bride has a million and one concerns when it comes to planning their big day and no one ever wants to make a wrong choice. I was blessed to come around a beautiful soul, my event manager of the reception hall I chose. He sang praises of a photographer that captures the essence of your day and depicts it like a fairy tale.This is how we came across the Patken Photography team. We spoke to Doug Gordon, the owner of this establishment and met several photographers at the bridal showcases held by our vendor. It was a friendly yet professional ordeal. Which i loved, knowing that our wedding will be a headache and a half as any west indian hindu wedding can be. Patken offers a engagement shoot months prior to your event so you can be comfortable with their team and also the photographers can build a relation with you as their would be no awkward moments of "who the hell are you and no i don't want to swing off a tree". You will also receive a courtesy call from each photographer that is assigned to your event. Brides beware, Patken does not recommend having multiple photographers per event, but it can be added if needed. The best thing about the Patken team is their ability to feel like family. We were assigned Kevin, the indian wedding specialist, and Mike the best videographer out there for our first event. Kevin and Mike showed up hours before the event and as everyone knows this is when there is all hell break loose when it comes to an west indian event. They were able to mingle and become one of our own that made the day go seamless as possible. Vinny was our photographer for our second event at our reception hall and i couldnt have asked for someone better. Vinny was down to earth and a real trooper when it came to being with my mile long wedding dress and my impromptu outfit change. Or the never ending line of guest photos he had to take. (bored yet?) well those were all the good stuff, now on to my let downs. Patken offers a retouching service with all of their packages to create what they consider the perfect image. When your images are finished editing, Patken emails you an online gallery for each separate day. We were so overjoyed working with this team that in my mind i felt that they can do no wrong. But after seeing my images, the cracks in my "perfect photographers" began to show. My wedding ceremony pictures were a complete let down. What irked me the most was that we were assigned a photographer who specialized in our event type, so there should be no doubts in my mind that their would be images that would make my heart skip a beat. Ha!. I ended up with a lot of images that were overly retouched, which made it look tacky and fake. And I also have random pictures that I wouldn't even care for. I was truly disappointed. My reception day pictures was the only saving grace. These pictures were the reason that i would still consider recommending the Patken Photography Team. Vinny captured some real money maker shots. At this time, I have not seen my wedding albums as of yet. However, I will give an update on that process for those that find this review useful. On that note, I'll sign off by saying even a perfect experience can lead to disappointment. Thank you Patken Photography for giving us the opportunity to work along side of you.
