There's not one thing I can say about our experience with Cody & Allison that isn't completely glowing, joyful, and grateful! Planning for a wedding of any kind is challenging. The market is so saturated, and after sorting through what seemed... like millions of options for every aspect of our wedding, I couldn't be more thankful we chose Cody & Allison. Allison was on maternity leave for our wedding, so we just had Cody shoot the ceremony, and it ended up being perfect!
My wife and I had a small, informal elopement on the top of a mountain near Asheville. On the day of our wedding, it poured down rain all day. Because it wasn't only an outdoor wedding, but also one you had to hike to the top of a mountain to reach the ceremony site, we were nervous about needing to come up with a plan B. Everyone, including us and Cody, was from out of town, so we were also dreading the possibility of having to reschedule. Cody was so kind and flexible and up for anything the entire day, which made the decision to hike up there and get married in the rain that much easier! We didn't have an engagement shoot, so the first time we met Cody in person was on the mountain. I can't say enough how wonderful, comfortable, and fun it was to work with Cody. When you only have 10 people at your wedding, having someone there who's more or less a stranger can be awkward, but not once did anyone feel like he was out of place. He was respectful and easy going, which made me and my wife able to relax and focus on the important stuff, which is to soak in the love and the joy of the day. The sun ended up coming out right before the ceremony, so we were able to explore the mountain afterwards to take some couple's shots. The three of us got to know each other and had a lovely time. I can't imagine having spent the day with another photographer, he became an important part of our day both at the time and in our memories. The environment they both created from the very first e-mail, to our stressful and unconventional wedding day, and hopefully into the future is so special. I hope that one day we'll have another chance to work with them!
