Marriage is your next great adventure

For couples who'd rather hike to golden hour than pose in a studio: adventurous, a little dirt on your boots, done performing for a guest list or a camera. If that's you, keep scrolling.

Start Planning Your Day

What your photos should feel like

Not a posed set piece. The nervous laugh, the wind, your dad’s face mid-toast.

You’re in the right place if you and your partner:

Would rather hike to a viewpoint than pose in front of a backdrop
Want your day to feel like something you lived, not a Pinterest board you’re recreating
Are fine getting a little dirty if it means a better view
Care more about red rock and open sky than a reception hall
Think a perfect morning starts with a sunrise hike and ends with a bagel
Want to be fully present with each other, not worried about your angles

Photographer

Hello, I’m Jade Jarvis

I believe your photos should look like your life, not a performance you put on for a lens. I got my start in concert photography before moving into weddings, and I’ve been running Jade Jarvis Photography since 2025, with seven years behind the camera total.

To me, a wedding day is just another adventure: you’re setting out on a new one with the person you want beside you for the rest of your life. That’s why I love working with couples. Everyone in the room is excited, hopeful, ready for what’s next.

I live in Provo and spend most weekends hiking, canyoneering, or rock climbing; if either paid the bills on its own, I’d do it full time. That’s part of why I love this job: I already know the kind of places worth finding, so I can help you find the best one for your elopement, proposal, or couple’s photos, anywhere in Utah.

Step 1

Tell Me Your Story

Fill out the form and tell me which service fits: wedding, elopement, or proposal. I want something to talk about on our first call, not a blank slate.

Step 2

We Build Your Plan

Within 24 hours you'll have a link to schedule a call. We talk through your vision and I suggest the package that fits it, then a 30% retainer locks in your date.

Step 3

Your Day, Documented

My planning questionnaire turns your vision into a shot list built around it. Then I show up and catch the day as it happens, not as a script.

“Jade is so fun and easy to work with!! She has great vision and was able to catch some really cute and sweet moments. Our photos turned out better than we could have hoped for!”
