Patken vs. Silverfox

I am trying to decide between the two for photography and video. Any opinions?

Re: Patken vs. Silverfox

The only advice I can offer you is to compare the main differences between the two and think about what's important to you. I didn't meet with Silverfox so I really can't say. HTH.

Re: Patken vs. Silverfox

See if you can meet with the actual photographer who will be shooting on your day. I think it's really important to 'click' with that person. I haven't met with Patken, but I did meet with Silverfox. If the prices are similar, try to go with the one that you click with. For me, I had a gut 'this is the photographer I want' reaction when I met mine.

Don't know anything really about Patken but I can tell you that Silverfox is great! Their pics are wonderful and their attitude is really good too.

Re: Patken vs. Silverfox

Another vote for Patken..
I just got my video back and it blew me away! It took me back like I was living my wedding all over again. Tears, laughs and all. Doug was my photographer, I absolutely love him(and he knows that), I can't tell you how many times I have told him that! I saw 1/2 my proofs at my WEDDING! Yes in the middle of dinner, Doug comes to me with some proofs...then they are ready while I was on my honeymoon to be picked up. Go with the best!
