Patken Photography was AMAZING to work with, and it was clear from the first phone call with Doug that our wedding was as special to them as it was to us. Jessie was our wedding photographer and she did the most incredible job. She was so easy to work with and attentive; she remembered specific photos that I wanted throughout the wedding without me needing to even think about it. She also created such a comfortable environment, and was incredibly accommodating when it came to sharing about shots or pictures I wanted or didn't want. It was clear she and our videographer, Michael, had a great working relationship and worked together often. They both worked together to get the shots and videos they needed and both our photos and video turned out incredible!! We are so, so happy with the end result. We also opted for a photo booth, which our guests loved! Prior to the wedding, we had a complimentary engagement photo shoot, which was a great way to practice for the big day, and get some early shots that we were able to use as save the dates if we wanted. Definitely go with Patken, they are a family business and will definitely make you feel like your wedding is one of their own!

Choosing wedding vendors is a tough decision. Choosing Doug and Patken Photographer was probably the best choice we made.

1st and foremost things were done efficiently. When its your big day the last thing you want to do is spend extended time away from your guests to get in all of the shots you need. Doug and his team made sure we got all the shots my wife wanted while minimizing the amount of time we need to get them all done. Doug and team were fun to work with and had us laughing through most of our engagement with them while ensuring we got the absolute best shots imaginable.

Thanks for taking such great care of us Doug and team!

Patken Photographer did a wonderful job for Our Wedding in October of 2025. They truly have a sense for detail and telling a wonderful story in pictures. Both my wife and I were truly amazed by the results. I recommend Patken photographer for all your photography needs.

My husband and I still talk about how much we loved working with Doug at Patken Photography. He has such a beautiful vision, an incredible eye for detail, and kept us laughing the entire time. By the end, we not only had stunning photos but also felt like we had made a friend in Doug. We’re so grateful for the memories he captured!

We just recently had our wedding at Jericho Terrace on Saturday August 16th, 2025. We hired Doug Patken Photography and I must say, I was highly impressed. Doug, Mike, and Vinny were so kind, humbling, compassionate, energetic, intelligent, honest, and respectful during the entire process. They make you feel like you are family and deeply cares about their jobs and making you not worry a single second about the photos. I could easily tell how much they love doing this. From Doug to Mike, Vinny, and staff, they were just simply the best. I would highly recommend them for your weddings and parties. Thank you Doug and Staff for making our wedding night the best ever!!!!

Patken made our wedding day absolutely wonderful! David did such a wonderful job of not only taking photos, but anticipating needs and wants. We did not feel pushed or rushed, but supported and relaxed. My husband expected to be a little annoyed with the photography piece, but he was completely happy to be working with such a wonderful, caring and skilled photographer. Highly recommend!

My fiance and I just had our engagement shoot with David from Patken this past weekend. It was clear to us very early on that he knew what he was doing; he came with numerous posing ideas for us as well as spots within the selected park that would make for great shots. When we mentioned a pose or two we wanted to include he provided amazing cues to make those poses look amazing and it showed in the photos we got back. Extremely excited to see what shots we get on our wedding day.

I just got married this past Saturday and used Patken as my photographer, per a recommendation from a close friend whose family is in the business. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Patken, from very first conversations through wedding day. Vinnie and David were our photographers and Mike was our videographer and all were AMAZING. Everything was seamless, especially with both mine and my fiances' big and blended families. Vinnie is an absolute pro at making the whole day go smoothly and making you feel so comfortable through it all. We can't wait to see how our pics and videos turn out! Thank you to the whole Patken team!!

We first reached out to Patken Photography in October 2023 for our elopement photos in Long Island, and from that very first shoot, we knew we had found the right photographers for all our wedding events. They were professional, creative, and genuinely kind, making the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. They ended up capturing so many important moments for us—our engagement photos in Orlando, my bridal shower in Long Island, our Madhuram Veppu ceremony (a South Indian blessing), and finally, our two-day wedding in Orlando on 11/1/24. Every single event was beautifully photographed, and we’re so thankful we chose them to preserve these memories. Doug, Kevin, and Kenneth were incredible to work with. They struck the perfect balance between directing us for stunning posed photos and blending into the background to catch those natural, candid moments. You could tell they truly cared about capturing the joy, love, and little details that made each event special. We also decided to include their photo booth at our wedding, and it was a huge hit! Our guests had so much fun, and we loved looking through all the photos afterward. It added such a fun, interactive touch to the day, and the quality of the prints was top-notch. What really stood out to us about Patken Photography was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Whether it was just the two of us or a big family group, they created an atmosphere where we could relax and just be ourselves—and it showed in the photos. From start to finish, they were responsive, helpful, and so easy to work with. Any questions or ideas we had were met with enthusiasm and expertise. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we never had to stress about the photography side of things. The photos are absolutely gorgeous—better than we could have imagined—and we already can’t wait to work with them again for future milestones like pregnancy or family photos. They didn’t just take pictures; they gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for talented photographers who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to make your experience amazing, we can’t recommend Patken Photography enough. They were such an important part of our wedding journey, and we’ll always be grateful for their work!h

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Patken Photography! Doug took my parents’ wedding photos 30 years ago, so having him capture my wedding felt incredibly special. From start to finish, Doug and his team were professional, warm, and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

The photos came out absolutely beautiful—every moment was captured perfectly, from the big, emotional moments to the little details we didn’t even realize were happening. Doug’s artistry and talent shine through in every single shot. Knowing Patken has been part of our family’s story for generations makes these memories even more meaningful. Thank you, Doug, for preserving such a special day so perfectly!
