How to shoot in midday sun with Moira and Jesse La Plante
In this hilarious and educational 26 minute class, the incredible Moira and Jess La Plante talk us through the steps they use to create beautiful off camera flash portraits in full midday sun. This is an invaluable tutorial for those occasions where we have to create portraits in harsh light.
Not only will you learn how to create beautiful off camera flash portraits in harsh light in this class - but you will laugh a lot!
Shooting in harsh midday light can be one of the hardest things which we have to do, especially if we are wedding photographers when we have little control over the timing of a portrait shoot or where it takes place. In this tutorial, the amazingly talented Moira and Jesse La Plant very kindly share the steps they use to create beautiful off camera flash portraits even when the light is at it's harshest.
Moira and Jesse are the perfect wedding photography team to talk us through this subject as not only are they world renowned photography educators who have also won countless awards but they are also based in Colorado, which as you will learn in this tutorial has 300 days of sunshine a year!
As well as sharing their advice to create stunning portraits, Moira and Jesse also take us behind the scenes on some recent midday portrait shoots so you can see not only how the images were taken but also the final edited photographs.
A huge thank you to both Moira and Jesse for this invaluable tutorial - which is as funny as it is educational! We could not be more grateful.

Jesse & Moira La Plante
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, and started the wedding photography business they swore they'd never have.
