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 have nothing but praise for Patkin Photography. From our first meeting to the finished product, they held our hand every step of the way. The took the time to address my wife’s concerns and was able to deliver a fantastic product.
We worked with photographers Vinnie & Kevin. Our videographer was Micheal. These gentlemen were gems. They knew the grounds we secured for pictures and the layout of the venue.
We highly recommend Patkin to everyone. Patkin made us feel like family and for that we thank you- you can’t put a price tag on that!

I just got married and Doug's team shot all of my big events - my engagement, my shower, and my wedding! I couldn't be happier with the output ... the photos that we've received have been absolutely beautiful. What I loved most about working with the Patken team is that everything was efficient...my husband and I come from big families / friend groups, and they covered so much ground without dragging out photo sessions so we can get back to what really mattered at our events...celebrating! From our initial booking to getting our photos back, Doug and his team have been incredible to work with and have truly listened to what I like and dislike to be sure the end result was tailored to my taste. I firmly believe you can show them anything as examples and they can mold the output to match it, all while maintaining the utmost quality, style, and professionalism Patken has become known for. I couldn't recommend this team more!
