JMGant Photography

tagram 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.

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!

e and fabulous ability to keep the photography rolling on time while sacrificing nothing in creativity.

nd vibrancy of Indian weddings which is why we are so happy we went with him for our special weekend. His experience with Indian weddings is what drew us to him and his appreciation for Indian culture is apparent when you speak with him and in the work he put behind capturing every detail. Not only is he an amazing photographer but he is also a gem to work with. From the beginning of our planning process, we could tell Jared was excited and energized for our event. He made us feel comfortable and natural when posing (we are awkward photo takers, but he made us feel at ease and brought out the best in us). He was so knowledgeable about what needed to be captured during our intricate ceremony, and the photos we have seen so far have been stunning (we’ve had family and friends rave about them specifically). I truly don’t think anyone else would be able to have captured our weekend so beautifully!

t 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!

ure every candid moment on our big day that I’ll be able to cherish forever! Highly recommend!

ur 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

oved 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!

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!

tely 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! 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!

hat we flew him out of state for our wedding. Best money we spent!! He is thoughtful and helpful from day one. He is very communicative and organized, and we felt confident in the process. And our photos are nothing short of works of art! I had so many people comment that they looked like they belonged in a magazine, they were so beautiful and professionally done. Hiring Jared was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding and we can not recommend him highly enough!!

! The artistry, creativity, and emotion that is present in every photo is magical. We've heard nothing but rave reviews from our friends, family, and other vendors who have viewed them so far. (Of course we shared far and wide). Jared's book of work certainly speaks for itself, and is the primary reason we interviewed him as a potential wedding vendor about a year ago. The photos have such crisp color, the effects draw the eye and make you wonder how he pulled it off, they are not your run-of-the-mill wedding photos - they are pure art. BUT, what you can't see in the photo themselves is how smooth Jared makes the process and how comfortable he makes you feel throughout every step of the planning process, from the consultation all the way through the album buying and photo selection. Jared is ORGANIZED! Do-it-yourself brides- don't worry- Jared's got you. He sends you email reminders and to-do's, he schedules video chats to discuss wants/needs/timelines. In fact, he essentially created our whole day-of timeline, because we were fairly clueless, and his years of experience informed us how to best plan the day. And it went off without a hitch. On the day-of, Jared and Joe made Kelsey and I feel cool as cucumbers. They took photos, capturing the day's events without us even knowing. (The art of the second shot was seen at every moment). And when we needed them, they were there, at the right place and time... often times helping to calm us and reassure us that we could make it work. They were prompt, professional, communicative, and brought such a life and joy to the day. They blended in as family and we welcomed them with open arms. Shot ideas came to Jared naturally as we strolled the streets of Denver, and he'd ask to try a little something creative, and we were delighted to indulge and see what we could make of it. And the results were amazing. When viewing our photos, we laughed, we cried, and we felt EVERY moment again. Do yourself a favor and let Jared, owner of JMGant Photography, capture the most important day of your life. It is worth every penny and the results are out of this world! You won't regret it!

ng the happiest day of my life. 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.

lled we found him. Everyone on social media is saying they are the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen and some people stated they are considering getting remarried just for the photos. We will definitely be using him again for future family sessions, traveling from Kansas to Colorado because he is 100% worth it. If I had to give advice to any future bride it would be to splurge on your photographer if you have to choose (even though Jared prices are very competitive). The pictures are what you will have to remember the day, everything else is secondary. Trust me!

ed 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!

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.

e 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 JGMant Photography enough. 10 out of 5 stars across the board.

. Jared knew all the best areas to take the photos. He was such a pleasure to work with him and we knew from the consultation that we were going to be happy with our choice. The photos that Jared took are nothing less than amazing. We are so happy we found and chose JMGant Photography! 100% recommend!

cause 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!

and his work. We had a large Indian wedding over a few days in August, and he just nailed it - on time, captured all the right moments, and high-energy throughout. The photographs came out stunning - he has quite the creative eye, which captured the emotions and energy of the entire weekend. Would highly recommend!

ost important to us and the details we wanted documented. Jared and his team made us feel comfortable. I sometimes get awkward in front of the camera but I never felt that way during either the wedding or engagement session. It was great to have them be apart of our big day. Both of our families and friends have commented on how talented Jared and his team are. The photos turned out amazing! We are so happy that we chose JMGant Photography

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.

ur engagement photos in Winter Park, CO and were so impressed that we also had him photograph our wedding in Montana. He is able to create beauty in any setting. Jared’s flexibility, professionalism, and easy-going nature made our special day carefree. We could never imagine hiring anyone else!

d Jared did not disappoint. He was easy to talk to and quick to answer any questions. We did a package deal that included engagement photos. Jared made the whole thing easy and comfortable. If you are not a fan of the camera, hire Jared! He made everything feel so natural and not super posed like a lot of photographers out there. He does an amazing job capturing your day in a unique way and he not only became our photographer but he is a friend now. Jared's work speaks for itself and if you want an amazing experience hire Jared.

oy to be around and deeply loves what he does, I believe this shines through his work. Though he was a little more expensive than some of the other photographers we considered for our wedding, I can assure you he is worth every penny.

pened 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!

n the Riviera Maya. He always made us feel so comfortable and relaxed - he was able to truly capture who we are as a couple! The photographs from both our engagement session and wedding turned out amazing. He has a unique style that incorporates the natural outdoor settings that he loves to shoot in. He backlit several shots at night during our wedding while it was raining. They are amazing and the trick is that we were under a covered patio but it looks like we were dancing in the rain. He also had help from his wife, Brynn, with lighting during the wedding and she went above and beyond to help me out as a bride. We are customers for life. While we may live 8 hours away from Jared we will continue to come to Colorado for him to capture our family as we grow. Thank you Jared and Brynn!

being photographed. My now husband absolutely hates having his picture taken and not only was Jared able to capture amazing photos but even got him to smile in the pictures. I will forever be grateful to Jared for capturing our special day and delivering such amazing pictures! It is hard to pick out ones to print with how amazing they all are!!

tic, stylish, unique photography that takes full advantage of the natural landscape of Colorado (or anywhere else you may be!). When we got our photos back (so quickly too! We did not have to wait months like many people do) every single one was amazing, and we are really struggling to choose some for a canvas or even just to print! His skill is definitely consistent over each and every shot he provided and each one is stunning. Not only were Jared's photos amazing but I also felt he was able to get a good feel for us as a couple and provided photos that reflected that and felt personal, and not just standard shots he sets up for everyone. Another bonus was he blended so well with the wedding people kept telling me after how cool he was and how they wished they could have talked to him longer! You won't regret your choice if you choose JM Gant Photography! :) :)

lutely breath-taking. He has an incredible eye and isn't afraid to take risks. Would recommend to anyone looking to photography anything ever. :)

e happier with our experience! Jared is energetic, kind, fun to work with, and most importantly a very talented and professional photographer. He has an incredible eye for lighting and unique, breathtaking photos. Jared did an amazing job of perfectly capturing the story of our wedding day from start to finish. Every time we go through the photos it's almost like we are reliving the day over again. He made our engagement and wedding photography experience wonderful and easy. Not only did we get some of the best photos that I have seen, we received exceptional customer service as well - Jared went above and beyond after our wedding to make sure we were truly happy with what we received. We would recommend Jared and JMGant Photography to anyone. Thanks again Jared!

ouple and your vision for what it is he's shooting. He shot both our wedding and engagement session, and we couldn't be happier with his work. We really appreciated his vision and suggestions, and he made sure he captured all the moments that were important to us. His love for what he does is so apparent in how he interacts with you and in the final products he produces. Seriously, snatch this one up quickly!

His artistry is like no other and he is a hoot to work with as well! We could not have dreamed of better wedding photos to remember our day. You will be silly not to book Jared!!

ds. His photos are the most creative I've seen. Jared is friendly, so easy to work with and goes the extra mile. 5Star all the way!

ne 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! 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. If our experience with Jared had ended here, it would have already been well worth the investment. When the big day arrived, 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 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. 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.

ith him, we knew we found our photographer. Jared has such a wonderful eye for great photos and perspective. We truly appreciated how he could highlight certain colors, or capture a backdrop or landscape that needed to be included in our shot. We personally experienced him showing off his skills in many different environments. During our engagement shoot we met in Downtown Denver to capture more of the 'city' type views available. Knowing our wedding would be more rustic and on top of a mountain, this was the perfect contrast for us, allowing us to show all of our viewers both wonderful scenes/settings from Colorado. Reviewing pricing options with Jared, we chose the more inclusive package he had available. Anita and I both loved that Jared was always transparent, and 100% honest on all pricing items. We found in our search that some photographers would be vague and ultimately layer in additional fees and costs which could make what seems like a bargain end up costing quite a premium. During our wedding approach, Jared was instrumental in providing unique ideas, feedback, and an overall timeline for the wedding day. Our wedding day experience, Jared showed up early to scout the venue. He was there with a second shooter and ready to begin as soon as we arrived. 100% professional and interactive throughout the night. Allowing us to guide and offer feedback on what shots we wanted to capture and provide options whether it was sunset shot, city scape view, or just sneak off to a field for some amazing views and pictures. We even found a few rocks to climb up on which provided unique perspectives, colors, clouds, and backdrops. A week or two prior to our wedding Jared even recommended a unique champagne shot he was interested in trying and he felt we may be able to pull it off.(first picture attached in this review) We loved the idea of the shot and ultimately pulled the shot off and have received nothing but compliments and questions on how we took this photo. The day of our wedding was a little unique and different in the fact that my father ended up in the emergency room the week of with a medical issue and unable to attend our wedding. Jared pulled off a full 8-10 hour day of shooting photos, leaving our venue between 10pm and 11pm when we told him we were done with shots for the night. He drove 1-2 hours back to his home for a late end to his day. To our surprise, Jared worked diligently to surprise us with an opportunity to share our wedding day with my father the following afternoon. He sent a text message the following day mentioning it was a goal to ensure my dad experienced our day and provided a link to his blog which he had edited a group of timeline photos from our day. This was such an amazing gift to share with us and allow my dad to watch the entire day through a series of photos and commentary from Jared. Jared truly is an amazing photographer, and an even better person. I will continue to recommend and refer him to any and everyone I know in need of a talented photographer. Jared, thank you for all of your hard work and the amazing shots you've already provided. We can't wait to see the remainder of the photos. We truly appreciate you and all your work.

laxed, and caught so many fun moments we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Highly, highly recommend.

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!

e so grateful he could work with us. It was quite a long drive to get to our location, but Jared was willing to make it happen! My family and friends still cannot get over how beautiful the photos he captured turned out. Thank you so much Jared!

ing 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!

, organized, and friendly through the whole process. Jared felt like a guest at our wedding, not a vendor. We’re so happy with our photos and I wish we could get married again just to have more wedding photos from him! We will recommend him to all of our friends or family getting engaged or married.

s celebrating the moments leading up to the day, and the glorious day itself. I look back at the pictures and it takes me back to one of the happiest days of my life. Jared was amazing from the start with his professionalism and skill. He was extremely helpful and flexible when planning for the location of our engagement session and my bridal session taking my ideas and turning them in to masterpieces. The ceremony and reception photographs are truly unique and his ability to capture the elegance and love that embraced our family and friends was perfection. I would highly recommend JM Gant Photography to capture those special moments and create memories that last a lifetime.

w we wanted to remember one of the most important days of our lives. Jared is not only a talented photographer but he blends in beautifully with the entire wedding party, almost like if he was a long time friend. Being part of a culture full of many traditions that oftentimes not even we know how they came about, Jared took the time to understand traditional dances like “la víbora de la mar”, “el mandilón”, and captured the fun of it all. These are pictures that we can proudly share and one day reminisce about when we are “viejitos” (old).
