My Vision for Your Wedding

Your wedding day is going to be full of laughter, smiles, hugs, and tears. All of which are MAKING MEMORIES. Leave the schedule and worry to me, as I help guide you through the day! 

Hi, My name is Cody and I want you to experience your day without the worry or stress of perfection. That's why you hire me!

I believe Marriage to be a lifelong commitment that's meant to make us better individuals, but also something that has to be fought for everyday

My Family is why I'm a photographer. To provide a life that allows me to be present with my kiddos!

My Faith has guided me and brought me to be where I'm at today as a Wedding & Portrait photographer

The FIRST thing you need to know is that I'm a big teddy bear that LOVES big and GIVES everything!

Facts about me

Ready to Book?

Haley and I have been married going on 14 years, and our wedding was FAR from perfect, stress-free, and being fully present on the day. You see, we didn't know much about the whole wedding thing and we just honestly wanted to be married to each other. But looking back on this day brings up a lot of sadness for us. We didn't prioritize our photos, being present with our family and friends, or really much of anything. And now looking back on that day we don't have any decent images to look at, or memories that we are fond of. All I think about is Haley being stressed, Rushing around for photos, and not having any of that yummy cake we tasted and paid for. 

I strive to work with my couples to help them avoid feeling the way I feel when thinking back on their wedding day! 

Here’s the thing,
I've been there...

Albums

I truly, deeply, believe that marriage is one of the best things that you can find in this life. And too many couples fall victim of not having the right tools to use to fight for your marriage when things get tough. 

When I photograph a wedding, it's not only breathtaking images that I'm capturing. Each photo is a little reminder of what your love represents, a physical representation of that love, and each memory becomes a Legacy of Love that you build your family on. 

But it doesn't stop there. Every single one of my clients walks away with at least a highlight wedding album to hold the story of how your Legacy began.
