About
WHO WE ARE.
JESSE + MOIRA LA PLANTE
We do things a bit differently. We’re not big on taking standard, posey photos. We specialize in nontraditional wedding photography and everything you see on our website is real. Real weddings. Real couples. Real emotion. Our goal isn’t to simply take pretty pictures, but to create works of art that are unique to you and worthy of hanging above your mantlepiece. We limit our calendar to 20 weddings per year so we can pour every ounce of our blood, sweat and tears into each wedding.
About Jesse:
I’ve been shooting weddings for 15 years. Before that, I was a professional photojournalist.
If pressed, I could probably eat around 47 tacos.
Skiing is my favorite pastime. We have two seasons here at J. La Plante Photo: wedding season and ski season.
One of my greatest joys in life is cracking a beer after a long wedding day.
I love to travel. I’ve been to all 50 United States and 18 foreign countries. So far…
Moira and I have been together for 15 years and not a day goes by that I don’t wonder just what in the hell she sees in me.
About Moira:
Events are in my blood. I grew up in a family-owned catering business and planned events at Georgetown University before I ever picked up a camera.
If I see a dog, I consider it to be a good day.
I spent the first part of the pandemic befriending the squirrels in our backyard. I’ve given them names.
My idea of a perfect evening is a warm blanket, a good book and a glass of whiskey.
I’m a meticulous notetaker. I have dozens of notebooks with funny sayings on the covers. A current favorite is “F*cking Brilliant Ideas.”
Jesse and I met on spring break in the Bahamas. He offered to buy me a drink. It was an all-inclusive resort.

From the very first phone call, they took the time to understand us, what we envisioned for our wedding, what mattered most, and they brought it all to life with such attention to detail and heart. Their work is simply perfection.
Our wedding photos are stunning. Every single image takes me right back to that magical day. They captured the moments we experienced, the ones we missed, and so many candid memories that tell beautiful, unscripted stories. Jesse and Moira have a rare gift—not only do they document your day, they bring it to life again and again with every photo.

Absolute PERFECTION to work with
The way Jesse and Moira were able to perfectly and beautifully capture our wedding day, is something I will cherish forever!
Obviously their work is beyond incredible. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how much I love the photos they took.
Now let’s talk about how Jesse and Moira truly helped make the wedding day such a dream. They were incredible at keeping us all on track and getting every single photo I requested. They also went out of their way to check in on us (bride and groom) throughout the day. I truly felt like Moira was like my wedding day mom with a camera!
If I could relive my wedding day again, I would just so I could hire them again !!!
Picture Perfect.

Exceptional Professionals
Besides being absolute masters of their craft, they are also wonderful individuals. They had us smiling & laughing throughout our special day. They have a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and background. They captured the most special moments of our wedding, both candidly & in portraits. We were blown away by the vibrancy & quality of our gallery, not to mention the attention to detail when it came to our wedding album consultation. They left no page unturned and made sure it was something we will cherish for a lifetime. I simply cannot recommend them enough to anyone who wants true professionals that go out of their way to create a customized photography experience.

Jesse and Moira are the absolute best! I love working with them as they are on top of their craft! They bring talent, creativity and exceptional customer service to every wedding!
As a professional videographer, I've worked with the majority of photographers in Denver, not just for weddings but for concerts and corporate events as well. Of all the photographers I've ever worked with, I can honestly say that Jesse and Moira's creative talents are leaps and bounds above everyone else. Their work is exceptional, they're down to earth, energetic and just so much fun to work with. If my wife and I were getting married again, without a doubt we would hire J. La Plante to shoot our wedding.
