Best of 2018

ByJesse La Plante

It’s time to take a look back at the best wedding photos of 2018!

Two thousand eighteen was year of firsts for us. We shot weddings in all four time zones of the continental U.S. and recorded more air mileage and road mileage than ever before. Plus, we had the pleasure of shooting weddings with two of our talented photographer friends, Gillespie Photography and Bergreen Photography. We also shot Alt Sessions in two of my favorite places in the world: Great Sand Dunes National Park in southern Colorado and Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. We not only attended our first wedding photography workshop (Metanoia Kaua’i), but we also began teaching our own. Our inaugural Iconoclasm Workshop was held in Breckenridge this past November, and it won’t be the last! Oh, and how could we forget the tiny house lifestyle shoot outside of San Francisco?

A huge thanks to all of our kick-ass couples for putting their trust in us over the past year!

Without further ado, here are the best wedding photos of 2018!

Backyard Wedding in Boulder

When I say “backyard wedding,” what pops into your mind? Picnic tables, maybe a small tent? Erin and Kevin’s definitely had that. How about “backyard wedding in Boulder”? Mountain views in the background? A dog exploring to its heart’s content? Erin and Kevin’s wedding also had that, times four.

Chautauqua Park Wedding

Amanda and Brian’s Chautauqua Park wedding was the conclusion of a seemingly insurmountable task: plan a wedding in two months. (I know, I know….unthinkable in today’s wedding climate!) But not only did they make it to the finish line, they did it with style. So how does one plan a wedding on such a short…

Rhode Island Wedding

To say that Cynthia and Tim are driven would be a massive understatement. She’s a grad student at Harvard and he’s a celebrated lawyer in Rhode Island. And while this would be more than enough responsibility for most people, they decided to also take on the challenge of planning a spectacular Rhode Island wedding! Though…

Rifle Falls Engagement

Ashley and Mitch wanted their Alt Session photos to contrast the tropical location where they’re getting married. And I love a good challenge. We already shot at the Ice Castles last year, so that was out. Snow is hard to predict in Colorado, so that added another wrench. But a few months ago, on a…

Sonnenalp Club Wedding

Jen and Robert are the kind of world travelers that Jesse and I aspire to be. They’ve been to every continent except Antarctica and I have no doubt that they’ll be checking that box soon. So Colorado, take it as a HUGE compliment that they decided to have their intimate winter wedding at the Sonnenalp…

Mixed Martial Arts Engagement

Kirsten and Mike’s mixed martial arts engagement session was a wonderfully collaborative experience. As owners of and coaches at MMA gym The Training Camp, it was a no-brainer to highlight that aspect of their life during their engagement shoot. But we also had an idea that had been simmering for a while and suspected that they…
