Kelsey and Mark's Review
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 JGMant Photography enough. 10 out of 5 stars across the board.
