Mary took the time to connect weeks before the photoshoot and discuss the day's plan and how to prepare. She helped me pick out style options from my closet using FaceTime, and I think I brought my entire closet to her studio. Her makeup and hair stylists made me feel comfortable wearing makeup, which I usually don't do. Then, the fashion changes and photoshoot began. Mary was so welcoming and made the experience very comfortable. She gave me posing instructions that produced very flattering photos. My BFF and I had so much fun and felt truly beautiful! A few weeks later, we reviewed the photos and decided which ones to use in a portfolio. The final product is absolutely worth it, and I'm so glad I captured this time in my life. Mary is a professional and very down-to-earth in her approach. She truly is special!

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.

Her name was Beatrice and she SUCKED!! She had no creativity and motivation. As a result the pictures are bleh especially the ones in our home where she had no thought to remove the dog bed from the photo shot. After the wedding is also a nightmare. They never answer the phone and my daughter has been having a hard time getting the thank you cards out. Apparently they FORGOT to send them out. I do not recommend at all!! Horrible service and products I wouldn't even give it one star

My wife and I loved Dominic's fun attitude and punctual honoring of ALL of our requests. No shot was impossible or denied. Dom's positive attitude kept me at ease as my wife called to say she was running late to the venue for our big wedding reveal. He encouraged us to have fun and be ourselves- he wasn't a stiff and didn't care for it from others. I even appreciate him for calling out my sister who was being a bit difficult with smiles. Dom was not intrusive nor pushy. He tailed me and my wife and kept asking us what we wanted as well as going off on his own and catching candid shots. He's a well balanced photographer who knows his sh*t. TNP, thank you for taking care of us and being professional but personable. We appreciate your quality service. Now we wait to see the pics... ;)

We decided to use Twelfth Night for our Maternity shoot and it has been an amazing experience working with Dom. From the very first phone call, he was open, honest, friendly and listened to what we wanted. Dom gave us feedback to what works best to give us what we were looking for in the pictures. He went over all the details and pricing with us and happily answered all our questions when we booked our maternity session. As for the actual session, it was awesome. We did both in studio and outside in a local park. He was patient with us as it was cold and did not rush us one bit. The time was perfect and we were able to get many different poses. He was very accommodating and you can tell from the photos he is passionate about what he does. All the images were spectacular. He was very quick to respond to any questions and the turnaround time to obtain the final edits were timely. Would definitely recommend checking them out for your photography needs! You will not be disappointed! Dom - you will be seeing us again soon!

First off, I hardly write reviews, but I had to write one for this photographer and her second…read moreshooter. No need to look at any other photographers out there, if youre on long island, this is your best bet. Reasonable prices. Our wedding was 11/11/18, post wedding, completely unsolicited review. The 4 Best points of the day: 1) Trisha and her second shooter Connie, were absolutely flexible, professional and unphased by some morning delays. Plans changed on the fly, and they were SO reassuring and helpful. They worked extremely hard to de-stress all of us, and ended up getting a ton of great pictures. The rest of the event went well after some morning issues regarding make-up and bridal hair prep not being done on time. 2) When we were on the dance floor they werent in the way. Just present (having a fun time) not intrusively in the way like you've seen some photographers/videographers. They were just this fun energy, sometimes dancing, laughing, joking... they looked like they were having a good time shooting and enjoying the wedding! At the end of the night, we couldnt think of any time where they intruded on the moment. Just took in everything through their cameras. It was really remarkable. 3) Preliminary photos we saw were outrageously good. We got a bunch of teasers back, and they made us look great! 4) Energy was positive and fun. Never pushy, very kind and directive in the way they wanted you to pose to get your best angles. Constantly adjusting clothing and making sure everything in the shot was perfect. Would give 10/10, enthusiastically recommend!!!!!!!!!!!
