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…
New Year’s Eve Wedding
Most of the time when we book a December wedding, we don’t expect snow. The day inevitably ends up being 60 degrees and sunny. Last year, in particular, had been especially dry for Colorado. But at the last possible second, a snow globe settled over Estes Park, making Madelyne and Zach’s New Year’s Eve wedding…
Best of 2021
It’s that time of year again when we take a moment to look back and reflect upon the previous 12 months’ worth of weddings and engagement shoots. This past year was our busiest wedding season to date, which made it extra difficult to whittle it down to our best wedding photos of 2021. We started…
Dream Lake Engagement
I’m not sure if Kenzie and Bo’s Dream Lake engagement session could have been any more authentically Colorado, swinging wildly between seasons like it wasn’t quite sure which month we were in. The adventure had the perfect mix of Type I and Type II fun that results in both an amazing experience and epic photos….
Horseback Riding Engagement
It’d be an understatement to say that 2021 was a whirlwind. While we managed to stay on top of editing and delivering galleries, some things had to be triaged. Which means that we’re now going to take a short trip back in time to late September when we met up with Ciara and Jonathan for…
Pinery Colorado Springs Wedding
There are a lot of “typical” things you could do at your wedding. You could follow all the trends in wedding magazines and blogs. You could get married in the summer. You could wear a white dress. You could walk down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Or you could adopt Lindsey and Fernando’s…
Black Canyon Inn Boulders Wedding
Well, the 2021 wedding season was a rollercoaster! While we still have a few weddings in the early winter months, the bulk of our 2021 weddings wrapped up with Kinsey and Josh’s Black Canyon Inn Boulders wedding at the end of October. And we could not have asked for a nicer couple to spend a…
Fall Wedding at Black Canyon Inn
Kiki and David’s fall wedding at the Black Canyon Inn intrigued me. After all, the two have known each other since they were in middle school. After going off in different directions, Kiki and David ended up drifting back into each others’ orbits. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Garden of the Gods Wedding
Anya and Ben’s Garden of the Gods wedding was so epic, it couldn’t be contained to a single day or location. Instead, we joined the couple and their guests for three days of partying at the Garden of the Gods Resort and the Pinery, both with equally beautiful – but vastly different – views of Colorado Springs.
