JOHNSON CITY WEDDING + ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Handcrafted wedding and elopement photography for adventurous couples in love. Serving Johnson City, East Tennessee, the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and beyond.
Imagine your perfect wedding day....
You slowly open your eyes. You’re in the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen. The air is cool, the mountains are all around you. You can smell the Fraser fir trees.
Someone lightly takes your hand. You look up to see the eyes of the one you love the most. As you meet their gaze, you both start to smile, as the words “I do” form on your lips. You look around to see your closest friends and family there with you, tears forming in some of their eyes.
You are safe. You are loved.
Want in? This is going to be fun.
Capturing memories that last a lifetime.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement with a stunning mountain backdrop, or an awe-inspiring wedding at a country club or venue, the wedding photographer you hire is there to tell your individual story. My job as your wedding photographer is to capture your unique, magical “you” and preserve it forever. I take that responsibility extremely seriously, and because of that I view myself as an important part of your wedding day. Whether you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Johnson City or anywhere around the Southern Appalachian Mountains, I would be honored to capture your special day.
It’s important to choose a wedding photographer who will make you feel comfortable and walk alongside you every step of the way. Your wedding day will only be one day in the incredible journey you and your partner are on, but those treasured memories will last forever, and are truly priceless, and you want to make sure the memories that are being captured are just as special as the amazing partner you have chosen.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to make a guess about you.
You like to smile. You like new experiences. You like adventure. You like to feel special.
You understand that life is precious and you want to live it to the fullest. You know that these moments are fleeting and you don’t take these special times for granted.
You want a photographer who “gets it”. Who understands you and can capture the true you. A photographer who can capture those special, precious, fleeting moments that mean so much to you.

"My husband and I hired Jared to photograph our wedding in the mountains and they are just gorgeous!
We couldn’t be happier with how easy he was to work with and how beautiful our pictures turned out! He is definitely very talented and has an eye for stunning photography.
I’d recommend his work for anyone.”

Get married in the mountains.
Planning your perfect East Tennessee mountain view elopement? Perhaps you’re looking to have a small, quaint ceremony near one of the beautiful rivers or forks, or maybe you’re more of the adventurous type and want to be married at the base of a waterfall!
Having an outdoor ceremony is extremely beautiful in the Appalachian Mountains, but the ever changing lighting conditions means you will need a photographer with the skill and knowledge to handle different environments.
I pride myself on my extensive knowledge of all types of lighting. Whether you’re in the middle of a field or under a thick canopy, rest assured that your memories will be as beautiful and timeless as ever.
Hi! I'm Jared....
And if you can’t tell from that picture, I’m a little goofy.
I’m from Columbia, SC but always dreamed about living in these beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Then at the end of 2018 after a few year pit-stop in Houston, TX, my dreams came true.
The mountains are my life blood. I love to hike and explore some days, and other days just sit and listen to the Earth speak.
I’d love to be your guide through this gorgeous place that I call home. Let’s chase waterfalls. Let’s find mountains that are above the clouds. Let’s make memories that will last forever in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
As your wedding photographer, I will work alongside of you every step of the way to make sure we are united in our creative vision. Whether you are having a wedding with a few people, or a few hundred, I ensure the same level of care to photograph your wedding in the most candid, beautiful, and natural way. I will personally guide you through the process of planning images and arranging pictures, allowing you to focus on creating memories of your special day. To ensure quality and keep with my standards of excellence, I will always personally take charge of processing, retouching, and designing all wedding photography, applying my unique touch to the pictures you will treasure for years to come. On a day that’s as special and unique are you are, I will make sure to always use my artistic perspective and penchant for perfection to ensure that you and your images look their very best.
Jared Jarvis Photography is defined by a classic, timeless approach. I embrace realism and beauty in documentary-style, high art luxury wedding photography.
"Jared was awesome every step of the wedding process!
He stayed in contact with us, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. We did a wedding out of town (& out of Jared’s town too) so we didn’t meet him til the day of the wedding. We weren’t nervous a bit… he made us feel very comfortable, he had everything thought out and prepared for. I’d highly recommend him for your wedding…in town or out of town!! And his prices are VERY reasonable!!
Jared, thanks so much for being there and capturing our special day in such beautiful pictures!!”
