Hands down the besttttt photographer we've ever worked with... or actual just the best person we've ever worked with! Jared is so incredibly friendly, creative, and professional. We booked the all day package and it was worth every penny. For our package we opted to do an engagement shoot, and oh my goodness.. seriously we were blown away with the experience, it only made us more excited for our wedding day. The engagement pictures were breathtaking.. seriously Jared has an eye like no other and his creativity is one of a kind. The wedding photos were no different, they came out beautiful, just going through the pictures you can feel all the emotions and the story of our love was clearly portrayed through the photos. To top it off..the turnaround time was unbelievable, we didn't have to wait too long for our wedding pictures. I can not praise Jared enough, I highly highly recommend him. Trust me you won't regret it! He's worth every penny! read more

There just aren't enough words to possibly describe how amazing our photos are. Jared is phenomenal at his craft. Jared  is super personable, we received so many compliments from our family and friends. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience.   I had admired Jared's work on Social Media for a while so when we first started planning our wedding we knew we wanted Jared to be our photographer. From the beginning he made us feel like we had made the best choice. He is very responsive and attentive and just has an awesome personality! The day of our wedding day it rained and at the beginning I was soooo bummed out. Many of our day's plans had to be rearranged. I don't know what we would have done without Jared. He turned the rain into a positive with his enthusiasm and creativity. We got AMAZING shots!!! He found innovative solutions for capturing our photos and everything ran smoothly!  When we received our wedding day photo gallery we also received a highlight video with images of our day that brought me to tears. It's true when they say the day goes by too quickly and being able to relive our wedding day through our photos is an everlasting gift. Jared, we will be forever grateful for our beautiful images. Thank you so much from the bottom our hearts! Aldo & Jessie read more

Loved working with Jared! He's extremely professional and knowledgeable, takes the time to get to know you, and takes beautiful photos! My fiance and I wanted nature shots, and he took us to gorgeous spots in Rocky Mountain National Park. We got our photos super quickly, and it was easy to access them. Jared (and his team) are great! read more

If I could give Jared 10 stars I would. I wanted this photographer the minute I saw his website and when I showed my husband (fiance at the time) he was 100% on board. Since we moved to another state for work most of the meetings were virtual (even pre covid) so that was extremely helpful. Super professional and well organized. His emails to prepare for the big day were super helpful. When the venue we picked canceled 7 weeks to our wedding, we found another one. We were super bummed, but Jared fixed that when he told us their were tons of areas for beautiful pictures. On the day of Jared was amazing he was always on the move. Not only was he advising and taking pictures, but he also was reassuring and helped me when I was overwhelmed trying to put my dang lashes on. (used lashes many times, but this day it wasn't working). We loved his creativity and his drive. You can tell he loves photography and weddings. For the sunset pictures I was eaten alive by mosquitos, but I know the pictures are going to be worth it. We got a teasers of our photos we are so happy already. I can't wait to see all of the pictures. I will be using Jared again, I will drive or fly for him to take all my future photos. Get a quote from Jared if you are looking for a photographer. He has the best quality and worth every penny. A keepsake that will last forever and down the road when your great great great grandkids see your wedding photos it will be worth it. Thank you so much Jared for everything! read more

See all

We booked Jared for our California wedding after seeing the fantastic photos he took for our friend's wedding. Yes, he can travel out of state for weddings! He is an amazing wedding photographer that works closely with you to capture your special day. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and Jared was an absolute delight to both work with and be around! Besides the breathtaking photos, he will meet with you multiple times prior to the wedding to plan out and make sure he captures every special moment. Jared not only helped us create a timeline, but he always responded quickly to all of our questions or added suggestions. Jared was the first person we booked for our wedding even before the venue - you will not find another photographer whose work compares to the artistry in his photos. They are truly a work of art and we are so happy with the results! read more

JMGant Photography is the best of the best when it comes to wedding photography. Jared photographed our wedding in May 2015, and we are IN LOVE with our wedding photos. We booked the top package and it was worth every penny. Our album came out beautifully and told the complete story of our day because he was there from start to finish. When Jared showed up on the day of our wedding, he felt like an old friend. When looking for a wedding photographer, this is important because they are the vendor who is with you the longest. He conducts himself very professionally and we even got compliments from our wedding guests about how great he was. Jared has an eye for every detail as small as the sparkle of the ring and as big as the group shots and everything in between. Every emotion and every detail of our day were perfectly captured by Jared. read more

Jared is a talented and knowledgeable photographer and exhibits care and creativity in his work. I've seen how he interacts with subjects while photographing them, and he is a great communicator while guiding people through posing and creative prompts. His greatest strength is his command over light and his ability to manage difficult lighting conditions such a dark wedding venues. Jared is a consummate pro. read more

Jared was amazing. He worked really hard to get amazing pictures and we genuinely enjoyed him and having him around. The pictures came out amazing and are the talk of the town. He did a great job of bringing in the mountains and nature around us which are very important to us. I 100% recommend Jared and his colleagues. read more

Planning a wedding is full of many major decisions (as I'm sure you know if you're reading this review) and one of the biggest that my wife and I had to consider was the photographer. Transportation, food, alcohol, flowers, decorations, etc. are all things that you can't take with you after the big day - but the photos are a different story all together. So keeping that in mind, we did a TON of research on photographers. We decided on Jared for a few reasons and it was literally the best vendor decision we made throughout the entire process. From our first consultation meeting we could not only immediately sense Jared's desire for personal connection with his clients but his professionalism was off the charts. It was one of the biggest reasons we choose Jared. While every photographer we met with was looking to be friendly and capture what we were looking for, Jared came with the professionalism and detail that gave us the confidence right from the beginning that we wouldn't be disappointed in the final products he was going to produce. We went with the package that included all day coverage with two photographers and an engagement session. We found this package to not only include more than most other photographers "max packages" but it was also extremely competitive from a pricing perspective. Now my wife and I had already been engaged for 2+ years at this point so we weren't wild about the idea of an engagement session - but Jared pitched us an idea that we had never heard before. He proposed that we do our first look a week before so that it could be intimate, not interfere with timing on the big day, and oh yea, on top of a MOUNTAIN! Jared had done an extreme amount of research prior to our "first look" casing every mile of the Rocky Mountain Tundra to find the perfect spot for the big moment. He was not only able to capture this amazing moment but also make two people who had never taken professional photos before feel like professional models. The creative instruction, light-hearted attitude, and genuine care throughout our entire first look experience was something like we never anticipated we'd be able to achieve. The only thing that was more exhausting than the constant smiles throughout this shoot were our stomachs from the belly rolling laughter that ensued from the jokes, enthusiasm, and joy that Jared brought with his craft. If our experience with Jared had ended here, it would have already been well worth the investment. When the big day arrived, Jared and his assistant somehow made it seem like they had a whole army with them as they were able to capture everything from the crack of dawn till the last person loaded the bus at the end of the night. Jared provided expert instruction throughout all of the photo opps during our big day. Between working with demanding family members, a distracted bridal party, tricky outdoor/indoor lighting, and oh yea - a stressed out bride and groom, his expertise was the perfect guiding light throughout the entire experience. Not only were we (bride and groom) beyond impressed with Jared and his team but almost EVERY SINGLE guest and family member in attendance made sure to personally tell us how impressive and enjoyable Jared was to have in attendance. We got continuous messages in the week following the wedding telling us how anxious everyone was to see our photos and lucky for them - the turn around time was legendary. While we have several friends who told us horror stories of having to wait MONTHS to see some of their photos from their weddings, Jared had a sample ready within days and the final product ready ahead of the agreed upon time and delivered them to us in a format that allowed us to share them all instantly. It was truly amazing and allowed for everyone at the wedding to download a high quality photo of themselves to enjoy and brag about. This was extremely important because almost every person in attendance actually had a photo taken by Jared! He got 100's of photos of the bride & groom, every "special shot" we had mentioned liking in the weeks leading up to the wedding, AND somehow also managed to capture the true landscape of our big day and everyone in attendance. We could not recommend JMGant Photography any higher. I would recommend Jared and his team to anyone, anywhere, and absolutely suggest going with his plus level package. The more time you can get with Jared and his camera - the more unforgettable moments you'll be able to take with you for the rest of your life. Trust his direction, recommendations, and be ready to have a GREAT TIME. Thank you, Jared, and JMGant Photography! You were truly the best vendor and one of our favorite experiences around our wedding. read more

He was amazing. He was the first photographer i found amd looked no further. He made each event he photographed stress free.

My husband and I chose Jared as our wedding photographer. We absolutely loved working with him and couldn't imagine our day using anyone else! We did a formal shoot before the wedding up in Rocky Mountain National Park and our pictures turned out breathtaking. We had a vision in mind of what we wanted out of the photo shoot and Jared captured it perfectly. On our wedding day Jared showed up early to look around the venue for the best spots to shoot at. I was worried I would forget the little details of the day but he took the time to take pictures of everything from the table decor to the flowers on the cake. I couldn't be happier with how all of our photos turned out. The best advice I received when planning our wedding was to find a photographer you like and enjoy being around because they would be in your face all day. Couldn't be more true! read more

We initially chose Jared for our engagement photos. He did such a great job asking what we wanted and incorporating his own style into that. My wife and I loved working with him because he was so friendly and knowledgeable (when we had little knowledge about what we wanted in our photos). We loved our photos so much that we also booked Jared for our wedding as well. Again, he was absolutely amazing and let us know exactly what to expect. He also took specific photo requests and made sure we got what we wanted. Our photos turned out beautifully! My wife and I love every one of them. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jared to anyone looking for a photographer. He is friendly, very knowledgeable, and loves what he does! read more

I have worked with Jared for 2 years and he is one of the most hard-working and honest professional photographer I have known. His care for his clients and the amount of details he puts in his work is absolutely unmatched. Wedding photography surely is not a one day deal. So much prep goes before the day of shoot and a ton more work goes in after the shoot. It's been an absolute honor to work along side Jared and learn from the best. read more

Jared was AMAZING! Best decision we could have made for our wedding. We also did an engagement shoot which turned out stunning. Every photo from our wedding and engagement shoot is worthy of a giant wall canvas. His bold colors and eye for mountain scenery and landscapes is miles ahead of anyone else we looked at. He and his team were professional and so much fun to work with. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone for weddings and engagements! read more

I cannot recommend Jared highly enough! My wife and I initially found Jared online and immediately fell in love with the quality and beauty in his work. We hired Jared to take our engagement photos in Winter Park, CO and were so impressed that we also had him photograph our wedding in Montana. He is able to see so much beauty in any setting. Jared's flexibility, professionalism, and easy-going nature made our special day carefree. We could never imagine hiring anyone else. read more

Just finished looking at my senior portraits gallery, and wow are they AWESOME. Jared thank you for standing outside in the heat for hours and getting eaten alive by mosquitos to capture these amazing portraits. If anyone is interested in a good photographer I highly recommend looking through this page. These are just previous of what an awesome job Jared M. Gant does. It was a privilege getting to work with you and get to know you. read more

Jared's work speaks for itself and all our photos from the night were beautiful. He was also a pleasure to have by our side, he was calm, communicated with us and set up shots so they didn't take us away from our reception at all. He took our ideas and made them come to life with his creativity and talent. (though the most amazing ones were all him) read more

Our wedding was shot by one of Jared's associate photographers. The photos and the shoot itself did not meet the standards that Jared promoted or that he discussed with us in our prep call. 1) Framing did not meet basic standards at times: in the family & portrait shots, the edges of arms were cut off twice. While exchanging the rings, the top half of the groom's head was cut off. Other top-half-heads were cut off in reception photos. Random people/cars appear at the edges of photos. 2) Lack of direction: we explicitly raised concerns about direction during the prep call and were assured we would be directed (and most reviews praise this aspect of his work). The photographer gave zero instruction to guests for family portraits, no direction regarding arrangement of family, how to place arms, flowers, (and was unaware of how the shots were developing, see #1). No wardrobe issues were mentioned or corrected. Overall, there was a lack of creativity -- very unlike the photos Jared posts online. The result is a large number of awkward pics. 3) Sometimes poor lighting control: the photographer did not demonstrate awareness of lighting conditions during portraits and we as b/g had to request location changes ourselves. Pics have either b or g lit while other is in shadow, and other unusual lighting issues. 4) Underlying issue seemed to be lack of control & direction, despite the photographer having 4 years of experience with JMGant. Ex: Reception has one photo of table setting with tableware straight, in the next photo, tableware is crossed. 5) Note that the post-processing often results in fairly crepey skin and a darkening of spots on the skin. Jared edited the 2 photos I requested for this issue. IN SUM: Aside from issues above, things were at least "average" -- photographer was on time, good number of photos, good color contrast (best aspect), good focus. Adjectives used to describe JM Gant on this and other sites, "creative", "great eye", "storytelling", "knowledgeable", "expert instruction" were _not at all_ relevant to our shoot. Our shoot and the photos do not approach a 5-star experience, and Jared's personal assurances about quality were neither present during the shoot, nor did he express any concerns about quality (such as chopping off arms), which I would anticipate from a professional who was devoted to ensuring a superior product. read more

Jared really is the best ever! We got to do engagement photos and our wedding photos with him and could not be happier with the product and experience. We are very picky when it comes to photographs and photography and every single one of Jared's photos amazed us and surpassed expectations. He has an incredible technical ability, as well as eye for the perfect photo. Everyone that has seen any photo of ours from him has stated how incredible the color, focus, angle, and overall picture is. I cannot say enough positive things about Jared and the pictures he produces! He really does aim to express art through every picture he takes. Additionally, he is so fun and easy to be with--you feel like old friends the first time you meet! He also has amazing second photographers. He makes sure to get the shots you want and goes out of his way to make it happen. Jared is worth every penny; his photography packages are extremely well priced for the quality of photographs you get, the service, and additional add-ons that come with it. Hire him--you won't regret it and you'll have the most impressive pictures! read more

Jared of JMGant Photograhy was SUCH a great guy to work with on the day of the wedding and each day leading up to the wedding! Photography skills aside he's just a genuine and kind person always offering to communicate as much as he can and provide insight and advice on photography shots and ideas that you have for your big day. As far as his photography goes, Jared is unbelievably talented. I can't begin to describe how beautiful the photos are that we've seen from our wedding day. He was so easy to work with. Me and my husband were so worried we would be shy and awkward around the camera but Jared gives such good direction and makes sure you're comfortable and looking your best and happy. We were SO happy we found Jared on TheKnot.com. We literally didn't look at any other photographers after we saw his beautiful, colorful, vibrant, romantic, and playful photography style. I am still in awe about how great he was! We recommend JMGant Photography to absolutely anyone. He was just absolutely unbelievable. Thank you so much Jared!! We loved having you celebrate with us and document our day! read more
