~ 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.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.
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.
What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?
Our most popular wedding package is $7,200 and includes a full day of coverage (typically 10-12 hours, but we don't limit time), two photographers, a password-protected online gallery, high-res images with the rights to print, and a photo album.
Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?
No physical studio as of yet, but we have dozens of convenient meeting places all around the metro Denver area. Zoom works too.

We couldn’t have asked for better photographers for our wedding. Moira and Jesse not only captured every special moment but were also a pleasure to work with. Having two photographers was a huge advantage—they were able to capture so many more angles and moments than a single photographer could. Their teamwork, built from years of working together, meant they were always in the right place at the right time.
They captured our day in a range of styles, from stunning portraits and breathtaking mountain scenery to candid, photojournalistic shots and artistic compositions. Their professionalism Read More and organization were impressive. They took the time to walk us through every detail, from the types of shots we wanted to what our first dance would look like. They even spent two hours with us discussing the design of our wedding album.
Moira and Jesse are not only incredibly talented photographers but also genuinely care about making sure you get the photos you’ve always dreamed of, while making the entire experience enjoyable.

If photography is your #1 must have, hire J. La Plante and prepare to be amazed! Their package covers everything on the day of the wedding, and they're always one step ahead of you so you never have to worry. With Moira staying with me (the bride) and Jessie with my husband, we have pictures of both of us from the entire day. Both of them were so lovely and friendly we felt relaxed and comfortable spending our wedding day with them. They helped us plan two separate photo sessions in three separate locations, and somehow we never felt rushed!
They were experts with lighting. Moira stood with Read More us to light the shots with Jessie calling directions and shooting. They're a seamless team, and not afraid to experiment. We couldn't believe the shots they were able to take. Most photographers have a single style they stick with. Moira and Jessie delivered an incredible variety. Beautiful portraits, creative shots experimenting with bright, saturated colors, dark black and whites with silhouettes, and dusky blue. And of course, the candid shots of us and our guests during the reception were brilliant.
Jessie and Moira were fantastic to work with, and some of the most creative photographers we've ever met! We would absolutely recommend them to any couple who loves photography and want more than the standard photo package for their special day.

Moira and Jesse were an absolute pleasure to work with! They were communicative, professional, and so kind. They clearly care about their clients and delivering the best for them. Their work ethic is apparent, showing up early and staying all day on our wedding day. The best part was the delivery of their craft! Absolutely stunning shots all edited. They go above and beyond by giving bonuses in their service, such as the complimentary video compilation and photo album. We are truly able to relive our big day through their photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you,
