Wedding Package Questions

March 10, 2022 jpalinphotography

I get a lot of questions around wedding packages, and I understand completely why you ask.

What I like to do is give a base rate and then if you need additional items from there we build on it to give you your package plus discounts. So, yes packages can be similar but I don’t like to make my Brides and Grooms feel like they HAVE to have something because it is in a package.

Think of this like Subway, you have your base sandwich but you get to choose your toppings, extra meats, extra sides, and sauces to make your sandwich unique. This is the exact same thing I like to do for your packages!

My base rate for 2022 with an UNLIMITED wedding day coverage is $1,500.

My services you can add onto the base rate:

Engagement Session
Photobooth
High Quality Prints
Newlywed Session

Boudoir Session
Aerial Video
Video Montage
Instagram cut

Trash the Dress
DVDs and Flash Drives
Additional Cameras
Additional Photographer

I do offer both Videography and Photography services for your wedding day. If you book both, I also give a discount off the base rates!

Come On Down!

March 4, 2022 jpalinphotography

We will be in Helena, MT this weekend at the Helena Bridal Fair!

Come check out our booth and see what goodies we have during this Bridal Fair. We’ll be in the middle one of the middle section booths with some great Bridal giveaways!

There will be a variety of vendors at this show from venues, florists, and catering! Did I mention the Dress Express SALE?! There are over 30 vendors attending so plenty to look at!

There will be a recommended $5 donation to the Emma & Evan Foundation at the door if you decide to pop in.

Also – The 1st – 100 brides get a purple gab at the front entrance.

The show runs from 12 – 4 PM at the Helena Civic Center in the Ballroom Floor.

We really hope to see you there!!

Easter Mini Sessions!

Our Easter Mini sessions are back! These are exciting sessions where I pick the set, bring in a number of props, and some goodies for the session 🙂

These sessions are shorter, with only a number of photos. Usually up to 6 people are allowed for these sessions. This month’s session is themed with bunnies and flowers for Easter pictures 🙂

I only have a number of spots available but I am looking at doing sessions in Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula!

Hurry and send me an email to reserve your spot today!

Tentative Dates:

Missoula – March 19th

Helena – March 26th

Great Falls – April 2nd

Personalized Cards

Did you know we offer personalized cards? When you schedule a portrait session or a mini session, I give the option for cards! I’ve designed everything from birth – senior announcements to birthday party – valentine’s – wedding invitations as well!

If you feel stressed out about getting your cards or announcements printed for any occasion, leave that to me. The design (approved by you of course!) and printing is done all in house and if needed, I can include envelopes!

This is just one more way we try to help you to get your pictures printed and in the hands of your loved ones!

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Me For Your Next Session

February 11, 2022 jpalinphotography

Do you ever wonder how to choose a Photographer? There are so many different types, styles, and packages out there! Why should you choose JPalin Photography to capture your moments?

I’m Fun! – Not to toot my own horn here but I’m kind of a blast 🙂 I will do just about anything to get a smile out of even the most stubborn model 😉 Along with me doing outrageous things to get a smile, my photos have that fun personality as well! I do like to give the standard poses but I like to have candid photos, walking, and fun activities to show your true personalities!
“Fake” Photos – Since I try almost everything for the genuine smile, I don’t feel the need to super impose faces from other pictures together in order to get that “perfect” photo. I do color grade and crop to give the photos personality though!
Your Photos are Your Photos! – What I mean by this is you’ll get just about every click I take. I do remove duplicate photos and photos that might not be great (blurry, someone is missing, etc.) but I try to give you everything I capture. The reason for this is some of those off hand shots are the best!
Quickness – I try to have at the very least a highlight out to you within 24 hours – Trust me when I say I understand the anticipation of getting those lovely photos back! The rest of the photos (depending on the package) I can usually turn around within 1-3 weeks. I do enjoy looking over each photo and making sure it is the best quality for you!
A Special Gift – I don’t normally advertise this, but I send a special gift once I’m done with your session 🙂 I’m a huge advocate of printing your photos and displaying them, so I’ll let you guess the gift I give!

All in all, I think we’ll have a pretty great time with any session you book with me! I love capturing these moments and giving you special memories for years to come! If you have any questions or want to inquire about a session – Just send me a message and we can chat 🙂
