One-on-one mentoring

We’re taking on a limited number of photographers for one-on-one mentoring in 2024. Our mentoring modules focus on everything from shooting for moments to post-production to client experience. Mix and match or go through the entire curriculum, depending on what you need most. Each module includes a video call with Jesse and/or Moira and personalized exercises to help grow your photography business to the next level.

“Having 3 award-winning photographers to work with in a small group setting was incredibly informative and inspirational.

Held in the spring, Iconoclasm is our “flagship” workshop all about developing your own unique voice and setting yourself apart in the wedding industry. This is three very full days of demo shoots, photo challenges and business insight. If you want to take your photography skills and business acumen up a notch, this is the workshop for you.

It felt like taking a workshop with friends and was a tremendous experience that changed the way I see the world.”

Meet Jesse & Moira

You probably want to know who’s piloting this ship, huh?

Jesse and Moira La Plante are Colorado-based photographers who have been shooting weddings since 2008. They first met in the Bahamas on spring break when Jesse (allegedly) offered to buy Moira a drink at an all-inclusive resort. Shortly after that fateful trip, the pair moved to Colorado, started their wedding photography business and never looked back.

In 2023, Jesse was named Fearless Top 25, ISPWP Top 25 and (along with Moira) This is Reportage Top 20. When not photographing weddings, he can be found skiing, eating copious amounts of tacos and/or working on his beer belly at one of Colorado’s many outstanding craft breweries.

After graduating from Georgetown University with a business degree, Moira honed her problem-solving skills by working in many different arenas – from academia to atmospheric science research to entrepreneurship – before migrating to the wedding industry. When not figuring out how to do the impossible, she can be found with her nose in a book or devising ways to spend more time around puppies.
