Della Terra Mountain Chateau Wedding
Laura and Brandon’s celebration wasn’t our first Della Terra Mountain Chateau wedding. We’ve been to this venue multiple times. But the amazing thing about Colorado is that there’s always something new to see, even at venues we’ve photographed before. Jesse and I like to challenge ourselves to bring a fresh perspective to each wedding so…
Denver Vow Renewal
Most weekends, Jesse and I get to hang out with our clients at the beginning of their journey together. But for Natalie and Jay’s Denver vow renewal, we had the chance to spend the day with a couple who are 20 years into their adventure (with many more to go). Now, if you’ve spent more…
Backyard Wedding in Longmont
After a crazy June that took us to three different states and three different time zones, we finished the month a little more locally with Lisa and Pat’s chill backyard wedding in Longmont. Lisa and Pat met exactly 13 years (and one day) before their wedding day, which means that it was before the ubiquity…
Spring Wedding at Greenbriar Inn
We started out this year’s Pride Month with Leigh and Sam’s gorgeous spring wedding at the Greenbriar Inn, and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful celebration. There’s no way for me to encapsulate this couple’s amazingness better than one of their attendants did during his toast. Matthew grew up in a place that wasn’t…
Wild Basin Lodge Wedding
Wedding days will go wrong. They’ll be imperfect. But with the right attitude, they can be more enjoyable and create more lasting memories than a “perfect” wedding day. Nothing could have illustrated this better than Emily and Luther’s Wild Basin Lodge wedding last weekend! The Wednesday before their wedding found me shopping for snow chains…
Get To Know Your Wedding Photographers
Your wedding photographer is the vendor you’ll be spending the most time with on your wedding day, from “getting ready” until the final send-off at the end of the night. So, in addition to hiring a photographer whose work you love, you’ll also want to make sure to hire someone you get along with. As…
Ouzel Falls Engagement
Jesse and I prioritize the photographer/client relationship above all else. Not only is it important to our photography style, it’s important to your enjoyment of your own wedding. After all, your photographers are who you’ll spend the most time with on your wedding day. Well, I can confidently say after our 8-mile hike for Andi…
How to Safely Store Your Wedding Photos

In this article, we’re going to explain how you can expect to receive your wedding photos and, more importantly, how to safely store your wedding photos once you have them….
Wedding DJ or Wedding Band?
Who doesn’t like a kick-ass dance party that lasts until the wee hours of the morning? I know I do, both as a wedding guest and as a photographer. But there’s a decision you need to make when planning your wedding and deciding what type of dance party you’d like to have: should we hire…
Brown Palace Wedding
In the midst of a small lull in weddings, we are so excited to look back at Emily and Tyler’s Brown Palace wedding from last fall! This was our first time photographing in this illustrious building, but we hope it’s far from the last. We knew we liked Emily and Tyler from the moment we…
Behind the Scenes (Pt. 3)
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve posted our favorite wedding photography behind the scenes photos of us working. So, we thought it’s about time to do just that! This post encompasses most, but not all, of our shoots from the fall of 2019 right up to present day (the winter of 2022.) This,…
Winter Wedding at Black Canyon Inn
Even though weddings feel like they’re the epitome of tradition, we here at J. La Plante Photo get most excited about the non-traditional elements our couples include in their day. Happily, Amy and Ian’s winter wedding at the Black Canyon Inn had no shortage of “non-traditions!” A few for your perusal: Non-traditional wedding party: Gone…
