Experience

Merging creativity with a career was the dream of husband-and-wife Pat and Ken Gordon. Ken harbored a lifelong vision to pursue his interests in the visual arts. Due to family life and the Vietnam war, his goal was put on hold until 1985, when the devoted couple established their own company. Ken reconnected with his vintage Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex camera and rediscovered his true passion in life. Soon, their son Doug joined the team and discovered his true calling in life. Over 35 years later, the business boasts numerous awards and accolades within the wedding industry. Now led by Doug, a renowned figure within the industry, the company boasts a professional and diverse collection of artists.

Perfect at capturing our day!

I found Doug at a Wedding expo. My big selling point was being able to have a photographer that has done diverse couples/families for weddings. My husband and I never seem to be able to get photos since our skin tones are so different and our wedding was going to have a wide array of skin toes so we needed a person who would be able to handle that. Doug went above and beyond our wildest dreams! While I love having my picture taken my husband is a bit more shy but Doug made it so fun! He is patient, absolutely hilarious, for a lack of better word; perfect.

His attention to detail is absolutely amazing! All of my guests came up and told me how amazing he was and so did my wedding coordinator for my venue. He was able to to both photo and video for us, and hen I say you could see him running around everywhere I mean it!

As a event coordinator myself I found having him onsite truly gave us a peace of mind and we where able really able to enjoy our day.

Doug and his team were amazing right from the beginning. Sean and I are not picture people, but Doug knew exactly how to put us at ease. He knew when to use humor but always remained professional. When we received our pictures (which were so quick) we loved them, finding it hard to choose our favorites. Having beautiful memories in print from Patken Photography is priceless.
