Melanie Boccio

"We had the pleasure of working with Sabrina and Nick as our photographer and videographer for our wedding this past weekend. They were great at capturing all the shots I wanted and making us feel comfortable the entire time. My husband was on crutches so they always kept his comfort level in mind and gave us plenty of breaks while taking photos. They are both so sincere and very punctual. I cannot wait to see the results! You get a lot out of the package you pay for and Doug really cares about all of his clients and truly wants what’s best for them! Highly recommend them!"

"Beyond happy we went with Patken for our wedding day. We were lucky to get Vinny as our photographer and Michael for video and they made our entire day PERFECT. My fiancé is not a fan of taking pictures, but the two of them made the day just so fun that even he enjoyed the photoshoot. It felt like we knew the two of them for years with just how easy they were to feel comfortable around, and were just all around awesome people. We cannot wait to see everything once it's all finished! I would definitely recommend these two, they were the best duo!"

"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."

During the reception, she was able to get beautiful pictures of all of our guests dancing and celebrating while still being very attentive to us. We are so happy with the pictures and services we received from Sabrina and Patken and cannot recommend them enough!"

"Patken's owner, Doug, is one of the most professional, honest, and down to earth business owners. He's phenomenal to work with and true to his word. The day of our wedding, Beatrice was our photographer and she blew us away with our wedding gallery photos. She was so sweet and easy to work with throughout the day. She gave us the best still photos as well as the best action shots of everyone laughing, crying, dancing, etc. I highly recommend this company and can't wait for the next big event to re-book with them!!"

"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."
