Amazing and Talented Photographer
When I say we reviewed a lot of photographers, I seriously mean a lot! We eloped and wanted great photos, but also to be comfortable as it was just the two of us. Jared’s portfolio stood out by far. There some great photographers out there but if you want exceptional, different, eye catching, and want photos like you’ve never had before, choose Jared. He is so personable, easy to work with and just a great person to get to know all the way around. The way he captures the moment is like none other. You will not be disappointed! -

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! -

There are no words that can adequately express how amazing it was to work with Jared at JMGant Photography!!! From the initial consultation, to engagement photos, to preparation for the wedding, to the wedding day and to delivery, he went above and beyond. We actually discovered his work when we were touring a wedding venue and knew we had to contact him as his photos were stunning! During our initial consultation, he took the time to get to know us and our story and answered all the questions we had. He was always professional and personable throughout the process.
We scheduled an adventure engagement session with him in Estes Park and it was fantastic! Leading up to the session, he met with us to walk us through how the day would go, offered advice and helped us choose some props for photos that were meaningful to us. He made us feel so comfortable during the session which helped avoid awkward photos and helped us with posing too (we are camera shy). We even had the chance to go into Rocky Mountain National Park, which was great since my husband proposed to me there. Even though it was freezing cold that day with wind and snow, he kept the mood light and fun. He was a trooper! Also, Jared has a unique eye for interesting photos. He knew the best spots to take us to and how to use the light to enhance our photos. He also kept reminding us to have fun and enjoy every moment of the sessions, which made it a special memory.
Delivery of our engagement photos was within a few weeks of our session, which was great! This is partly attributed to the timing of our photos (not wedding season) but it also speaks to how efficient Jared and his team are. Our photos were breathtaking and we were so happy with how they came out!! It only made us excited to see what he would create for our wedding day.
Jared was willing to answer our questions throughout the planning period (2 years for us). He also has several helpful blog entries on his website for clients to use as resources. A few weeks before the wedding we had a planning meeting with Jared and he took the time to walk through all the details of our day and helped us create a timeline. He asked all the right questions and notated all of the special moments we wanted to capture. He had great suggestions and helped us feel confident that our day would be amazing and that he would provide us with photos to last a lifetime.
On our wedding day, Jared and his assistant Chelsea were awesome! They were fun, kind, professional, and kept things organized and on time. They allowed time for us to enjoy the moment and we didn’t feel rushed. Everything went so smoothly! We also received our photos back in less than a month, and they are absolutely amazing and magical!! We cannot wait to make our album!
There are not enough stars I can give to Jared!! He is worth every penny and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone!!!JMGant Photography's reply:
Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for the kind and thorough review! You two are wonderful and it was a pleasure working with you! I can't wait until you get your album too! You're gonna love it. -

Our experience with Jared was awesome from Engagement shoot through to experiencing our wedding photos a few short weeks after the event. If you're having a little sticker shock, I can assure you it is worth every penny. The memories you will share because of the work he does is unmatched. -

We at Pearl Events Colorado are wedding planners who recently provided services at a wedding where Jared and his assistant were the photographers. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Jared in terms of timeliness and creativity. We've added Jared to our preferred vendor list based on our shared experience. -

Kunal V. Sent on 10/09/2019The most creative artist!
My fiance and I had an incredible experience working with Jared!! He is one of the most interesting people we have met and is truly an artist at heart. I was blown away by what Jared was able to do with the lighting, filters, camera angles, etc. on the spot! Jared would show us quick 'previews' on the back of his camera right after taking a shot and I was amazed at how polished the photos looked in their raw state without any editing or retouching being applied. We could not have asked for a better engagement shoot. Flying all the way from Chicago to Denver for the photo shoot was 100% worth it! -

Jade K. Sent on 11/08/2021Best Wedding Decision I Made
Hire JMGant Photography. If they are available for your wedding date, seriously, look no further. I can't imagine choosing anyone else to capture the most important day of my life. Jared and his team were incredible! My husband and I are not naturally photogenic people, but Jared was so patient and gave us excellent guidance and cues to help us look our best. He was fun to work with and really put us at ease leading up to and during the wedding. We didn't feel like we were posing and staging our moments. We really got to experience our wedding and be present in the moment, while trusting that Jared and his assistant would take care of getting the shots. We got our photos back last weekend and I was absolutely FLOORED. Every single shot is well-thought-out, beautifully lit, artistic, and honestly so impressive. Jared captured every moment beautifully, and even documented the moments I missed because I was caught up in the blur of getting married. We have gotten SO many compliments on our photos, and I feel so lucky and grateful to have this keepsake to look back on and share with our children and grandchildren. Jared's work truly is such a gift! -

I knew long before I got engaged that I was going to want Jared to be my photographer for the big day. He photographed two of my friend’s weddings and I’d been following him on Instagram for years, fawning over his unique and breathtaking style. He did not disappoint and I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him. I am not really someone who takes great photos, my face does all kinds of silly non-photogenic things. But Jared is such a personable and friendly guy that he completely put us at ease during our engagement session and wedding. We were able to just relax and enjoy the experiences. For our engagement session, I booked the Clocktower which Jared hadn’t photographed before but was excited about. I found a few pictures online that I liked and when I shared them with him, he improved the style and they came out looking like a fairy tale. Our wedding photos are equally magical. I am going to display them in a digital photo frame because there’s no way I could print and display all of the ones I want, it would wallpaper my house. Jared knew the best place for a first look, and he even helped bustle my dress when my mom and I had a hard time remembering how to do it. He is a true artist and always on the lookout for fun and unique poses and lighting ideas. Hands down, would choose him again and would recommend him to anyone.JMGant Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind review! I had an amazing time celebrating with you, and wish you both all the best! -

Jared's photos speak for themselves - they are amazing! Photography was one of the most important vendors for me to hire. I love photos so I searched long and hard for the perfect photographer. I prefer more vibrant photos vs washed out photos. Jared delivered exactly what I was looking for. The way he utilizes lighting to get one of a kind pictures is absolutely incredible. As a destination wedding bride, I really appreciate that Jared arranged video calls so we could "meet" before the wedding and to walk through the various components of the contracts. Hire him - you won't regret it! -

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! -

Andrea Sent on 04/26/2020Stop your search--Hire Jared ASAP!
This may make me sound crazy but I had Jared picked out before I was even engaged! I came across his work when helping my best friend plan her wedding the year prior and he immediately stood out to me for his incredible use of vivid colors, cool lighting, and candid moments. In a time when most of the weddings I've been to/seen online are using more soft and pastel palettes and using similar poses, I knew I wanted something more dramatic and artistic. And boy, did he deliver! If you want someone who is kind, comfortable to be around, very communicative, creative to the max, inclusive, and just plain talented, look no further! We ended up with some of the coolest shots that we will treasure forever. I just wish I had requested some editing help with some bruises and a scar I had on my arms (lots of carrying boxes the week prior!) but that's so minor and I have no doubt if I had thought to ask, Jared would have helped me out. We really couldn't have asked for a better day of experience or final result. Thank you to Jared and everyone at JMGant Photography! -

Kelsey Sent on 08/01/2019Unique, Authentic, Creative, Unbelievable
Words cannot express our gratitude for Jared and his work. From beginning to end he was extremely professional, fun and transparent. Leading up to our wedding, Jared really took the time to get to know us, our vision for the day and things we like/don’t like – no detail was left undiscussed. All of that prep led to the most authentic, fun, beautiful and detailed photos we have ever seen. Those that attended the wedding kept saying how friendly Jared and the second shooter were, and that they were EVERYWHERE capturing so many moments.
The most common question we got after the wedding was “when do we get to see the photos?? We know they’re going to be amazing!” And boy, they sure were. We continue to receive compliments and “WOW’S” from friends and family months after the event. JMGant Photography isn’t there to take your standard staged photos (although we did check that box and take them for family etc.), he’s there to tell the story of your day from beginning to end, capturing all the in-between moments where you really see emotion and the details of the day. He started with us in the morning before our beauty team even got there, and even went to the barber shop with the guys to shoot their pampering. He was with us every moment of the day up until we snapped the final shot of us in the car leaving. We could not have imagined the day without Jared being a part of it. It was so much fun to work with him and made the day so enjoyable just having him around.
For couples getting married, I was bestowed a few pieces of advice regarding photography. One, the photographer is the only person that’s with you ALL day, so make sure you get along with them. Two, your photographs are the only things you keep from the wedding day other than your spouse, rings and dress – Invest wisely. Jared EXCEEDED at both of these. We were instantly able to connect with Jared and became friends quickly. It made such a big difference to meet in person and video-chat, that personal touch really helped develop our relationship before spending all day with him for the wedding. As far as investment and quality of photographs, you will be blown AWAY with what Jared is able to do.
We had a difficult day of weather (rain, grey, cold) and lighting (bright spots behind indoor backdrops), but he owned it and made our photos look like it was a totally different day weather-wise. Jared’s work is so unique and creative that your photos turn into art for you to share. We are constantly told “I’ve never seen that before!” and “Wow! How was your photographer able to do that?” and “I feel like I was there just looking at these photos!” My husband and I cannot recommend JMGant Photography enough. 10 out of 5 stars across the board. -

Dana H. Sent on 08/19/2019Absolutely stunning photos of our wedding day!
If you are lucky enough to be able to book Jared and his team, DO IT! You will experience a combination of professionalism, creativity, and kindness that is beyond compare; there simply is not another wedding photographer like him.
From the start Jared took the time to understand our unique vision for the wedding and to get to know us as a couple. When we began to brainstorm about the best photographic opportunities he brought a level of personal excitement and technical knowledge that aligned our ideas with possibilities we didn’t even know existed. The outcome on the big day was absolutely magical.
Our outdoor wedding format was unconventional to begin with, and to make things more interesting, it was the coldest, rainiest midsummer Colorado day in recent memory! Jared was ready to rock it rain or shine and greeted us all with so much enthusiasm and a smile that it warmed hearts. Jared was able to quickly adapt and capitalize the conditions. The rain ended up providing the perfect backdrop for some incredibly cinematic pictures that we can’t wait to hang up as giant prints in the house. Where other photographers could have become overwhelmed, Jared calmly guided us through the day and made us look like movie stars.
What sets Jared apart is his ability to frame a shot in unique ways that utilize light, space, and terrain to capture both the essence of his subjects and make them seem larger than life within the shot. He is a patient and calm force in a day that is already a whirlwind, providing clear recommendations/instructions while thinking quickly on his feet and getting the most out of every moment. Working with Jared was an absolute highlight of our wedding experience.
Pro tip - get the second photographer! We’re so glad we did. It allowed for some amazing shots and techniques that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.
You can’t be 100% about a lot of things on your wedding day, but booking Jared is a guarantee that you will have wedding pictures that will blow you away for years and years to come.

Allyson Sent on 12/26/2019Awe inspiring photos
To say I’m in awe honestly isn’t sufficient to describe the breathtaking photos Jared took for our engagement and wedding night. From the very beginning Jared made a point to really get to know us as a couple to help ensure he got that across in his photos. For me and my husband, photos were one of them most important things, because they make that quick fleeting moment last forever, and we really can't think of anyone we would want memorializing the best day of our lives more than Jared and his awesome team. I truly can’t thank Jared and JMGant Photograph enough for capturing the happiest day of my life. -

Incredible!
I cannot recommend Jared highly enough! My husband 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.JMGant Photography's reply:
Thank you, Layna, for the kind review! It was sooo fun traveling to Montana and capturing you awesome wedding! Stay in touch! Wish you all the best! -Jared -

Lindsay Sent on 03/24/2018HIRE JARED!!! We started planning our wedding about a year out, so I had a quite a bit of time to do vendor research. I probably looked at over 20 photographers, but as soon as I opened up Jared's website, I knew that's who we wanted to hire. The vibrancy and life in his photos speak for themselves. After having our first consultation, we knew our photographer search was complete. Right from the start, he was so organized and attentive to our concerns and was prompt to reply to any questions I had. We had a winter wedding on Keystone Mountain and then skied down after the ceremony, so logistically, it was a little bit tricky, but Jared and his team handled it like pros and got us some beautiful shots! He is so fun and easy going to be around (he was actually asked if he was my husband's brother at one point!). We got his highest tiered package, but we were unable to do a engagement shoot with him since we live overseas. So we decided to do a post-wedding shoot on Loveland Pass. Jared was stoked about getting some great mountain shots and we were thrilled to have found a photographer crazy enough to bear to weather and hike a bit with us for some epic pics. We had our full wedding gallery delivered to us within 2 weeks and we could not have been happier! He got all the shots we wanted as well as a ton that just make us laugh and smile for days. HIRE JARED! You won't regret it!
