Patken Photographer was originally founded in Manhattan in 1966 by Irving Patken, who used to work for NBC. He had always been intrigued with the idea of selling photos and he finally made it come true when his son went to college. He found a studio over on Lexington Avenue, opened it up and the business took off tremendously. The family moved out to Deer Park after 34 years so that they could have more space for future generations. This is where Patken Photographer remains until today, having undergone several expansions along the way. The building’s facade does retain some of its original features such as the old “Photo” neon sign.

Patken Photographer has always been an active member when it comes to local events including the Chamber of Commerce’s annual holiday parade in Deer Park. The business staffs a professional photographer who volunteers to take photos during this event. This studio also supports other non-profit organizations such as the Deer Park Fire Department by sponsoring raffles every year.

Patken Photographer is known for its high-quality customer service and reasonable prices. Its staff offers personalized attention to every client who visits the studio, whether for a photo session or to purchase products. Parken Photographer is an established business in Deer Park that will continue offering services long into the future.
