Who We are.

jesse + Moira la plante

We do things a bit differently. We specialize in nontraditional wedding photography, which means we’re not big on taking standard, posey wedding photos. Our aim is to create works of art that are unique to you as a couple and worthy of hanging above your mantlepiece. And we limit our calendar to 15 weddings per year so we can pour every ounce of our blood, sweat and tears into each wedding.

I’ve been shooting weddings for 17 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 sipping 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…

Moira and I have been together for 17 years and not a day goes by that I don’t wonder just what in the hell she sees in me.

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’m trying to name all the animals that visit our new property. My current favorites are Attila the Bun and Conan the Bar-bear-ian.

My idea of a perfect evening is a fuzzy blanket, a good book and a glass of whiskey.

I’m pertinacious to a fault. Few things motivate me more than being told what I want is impossible to achieve.

Jesse and I met on spring break in the Bahamas. He offered to buy me a drink. It was an all-inclusive resort.
