Colorado

~ I've been shooting weddings for 16 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 20 foreign countries. So far...
~ My wife, Moira, and I have been together for 16 years and not a day goes by that I don't wonder just what in the hell she sees in me.

Weddings are about capturing the unique beauty in each couple and the moments that come with it. Every wedding is its own story and should never be approached the same way.

As a husband and wife team, we are constantly working on fusing the art and story behind each wedding. We are willing to go wherever it takes to get the image. Living in Colorado has provided us with some great backdrops and unique settings for weddings. We are known to go 'off the path' to get the shot, even if that means tromping through a stream, climbing a tree, or getting our cloths a little dirty.

We are a husband & wife wedding photography studio based in the greater Denver area. For us, there is nothing that helps accent a bride better than a Rocky Mountain sunset or snow-capped peaks in the distance. Colorado and its array of people and locations has given us a unique opportunity to push our photography and grow as artists.

One of our favorite things about being wedding photographers is discovering how each couple is unique, and that each love is different. It is such an amazing opportunity to share the coming together of a couple as they begin their lives together as one.

Our clients come to us looking for a different type of photography... They love our unique fusion of landscape and portrait photography. We often get weird looks when we climb trees or wade out into a stream with expensive camera gear, but it's all a part of creating something different. It's about giving our clients a piece of wall art instead just a bunch of tight 8x10 portraits.

I love providing natural outdoor photography for fun-loving, adventurous couples. I excel at capturing the scenery and feel of the location while still showcasing the couple and their personalities. My approach is a more laid-back, journalistic style but I mix in stunning artistic portraits as well.

My photography has been featured in Offbeat Bride, the Colorado Weddings Magazine, Luxe Mountain Weddings, Premier Weddings of Denver Magazine, and COUTUREcolorado. I have also been voted to the Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame and rated #1 photographer in Colorado by Top Rated Local.

Hi! I'm Shea. I'm a wedding photographer who loves photographing weddings all over the beautiful state of Colorado, as well as all over the world! I was born in Denver, but moved to the midwest when I was very young. However, I always felt at home when I came to visit Colorado so I knew I would move back here one day. I've been in Colorado for almost three years now and I love everything it has to offer!

I absolutely love photographing weddings and being a part of such a magical day for two people and their families. Whether you are getting married in Colorado, eloping, or having a destination wedding outside of Colorado, I'm your girl! Please don't hesitate to get in touch. I would love to hear all about the two of you as well as your wedding plans!

Great photos come from great moments - so we make sure there are a lot of those! Your images will be modern, candid, and colorful. More importantly, your day will be fun AF and your photos will make you look like you. Whether you want 100 guests or just the two of you, I love to capture the unplanned candid shenanigans just as much as a dreamy portrait combined with the epic views of your location.

ALL couples celebrated. I'm in the LGBTQ+ community and body positive. I'm upbeat all of the time and my images reflect my excitement for everyone who gets to chose each other in every unique way possible. I'll help you into great light so your candid moments are the most beautiful, flattering and natural. Great communication, stunning images, and a supremely fun experience is what I pride myself on. We'll be laughing all day!

I love capturing Colorado and all its beauty. I also love capturing you and the ones you love- authentic and joyful, celebrating the most special day of your life. I enjoy observing the world around me and capturing those fleeting, emotional moments and preserving them for you to look back on for years to come.

I am so incredibly grateful to be so passionate about what I do. I love that my job means that I get to spend time with awesome people in beautiful places, surrounded by love and happiness. How cool is that?

I SEE THE BEAUTY IN WHAT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE

We are a photojournalistic-style husband and wife team based out of Northern Colorado. We have a background in photojournalism and we're storytellers at heart. We work to artistically document the full story of every wedding in a style that is vibrant, bold and true-to-life. We are always inspired by intimate connections, the energy of a fun crowd, beautiful light and the constant challenge of holding on to those fleeting moments. Our most important objective is to get the shot, even if we look a little goofy in the process.

As a professional portrait photographer, my passion is helping you show your personality through beautiful photographs. I strive to make sure that you and your family’s passion and values shine through the portraits we create together.

I have grown to love and respect portrait photography more and more as an art form the more I get into it. I decided to turn this passion into Bonnie Photo to bring my joy and skills to others. I love building connections with clients and business partners. These connections allow me to create more honest and meaningful portraits.

Researching and trying out all the latest photography gadgets and techniques is one of my favorite activities!

I was a Girl Scout for 10 years. Community service and protecting the environment are very important to me.
