RECENT WEDDINGS

Colorado and Beyond

There are so many wedding photographers in Colorado, how do you even begin to go about selecting one for your wedding? The most obvious place to start is by viewing portfolios on the various photographers’ websites and Instagram feeds. But a portfolio is a collection of the absolute best individual images taken over the course of a photographer’s entire career. The more effective approach just might be to take some time to look through photographers’ recent weddings to get a sense of what they’ve been creating lately.

We’ve been shooting for the better part of two decades here at J. La Plante Photo and we’re constantly tweaking our style and our approach – not only our approach to shooting weddings, but also our approach to editing wedding photos as well. Our recent work bears little resemblance to the weddings we shot when we were first starting out all those years ago. That’s why we’ve taken the time to put together this collection of our most recent weddings for you to quickly see what we’ve been creating lately. We want to give you the clearest picture of what our shooting style looks like at the moment to better help you decide if we would be a good fit for your wedding.

Take some time to look through the galleries below and feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any questions for us or if you would like to check our availability for your wedding date. We’re just an email, phone call or text away!

Also, if you have a specific type of wedding in mind, feel free to take a look through our other archives:
Mountain Weddings
City Weddings
Destination Weddings
Elopements and Small Weddings

Finally, be sure to check out the galleries of our most recent Alt Sessions (our answer to traditional engagement photo sessions) as well. Cheers!

Bend, Oregon Wedding

By Jesse La Plante
To cap off our 2024 wedding season, we ventured out on a long road trip across five states for Hillary and Todd’s super fun Bend, Oregon wedding at Lake Creek Lodge. Since hitting my goal of visiting each of the 50 states back in 2016, I have since set another (loose) goal of photographing a…

Evergreen, Colorado Wedding

By Jesse La Plante
At the beginning of Laura and Austin’s Evergreen, Colorado wedding day, Austin turned to me and asked “Want a beer?” I said something like “maybe later” and he came back with “If you can’t do your job after two beers, you’re probably in the wrong line of work.” I thought to myself, “Well, that’s a…

Cortez, Colorado Elopement

By Jesse La Plante
After Rayleen and Bryan’s Zapata Falls engagement near the Great Sand Dunes, we continued west to the far southwestern corner of the state for Julie and Ryan’s Cortez, Colorado elopement. One of our favorite things about Colorado is its topographical diversity. Never have we seen this on display during one shoot quite the way that…

Echo Mountain Wedding

By Jesse La Plante
Mia and Scott never thought they would get married. And once they decided to get married, they never thought they would have a wedding. Instead, like many couples these days, they were leaning toward an elopement. Then, after giving it some thought, they realized that they really wanted to share a celebration with their closest…

Pinecrest Wedding

By Jesse La Plante
After 17 years of photographing weddings, it’s rare that we experience a “first” on a wedding day. But during Nassia and Jeff’s Pinecrest wedding reception in Colorado Springs, we experienced a very cool first. But let’s back up a moment. When Nassia and Jeff first reached out to us in November of last year, Jeff…
