Unfortunately Cody seemed to check out of the wedding side of videography just in time to neglect to fulfill his contract to his last few couples. We never got the video we paid for; and it took 2 years to get what we eventually got, which was a truncated, not fully edited version with none of the vows we recorded and sent him. It was a fight the entire time, and we didn't get anything at all until we threatened legal action. Our photographer doesn't endorse him anymore, and was so apologetic for what happened, even though it wasn't her fault. I heard from her that a few other couples who got married around the time we did had a similar experience. Overall, super stressful and awful. Especially when we eloped and wanted so badly to share some footage with our family and friends who were not in attendance. I don't know what good this review will do as Cody isn't a wedding videographer any longer, but I had to share or experience about his lack of professionalism.
We hired Cody for our wedding in July 2019 and paid for 2 videos ($2,500). It took over a year to get our first video and when I asked about the second video he said he didn't have time to do it and would just mail a USB with the raw video footage. This was not ideal but better than nothing. However, it took over 4 months (and countless followup emails and reminders) to receive it. The footage is great, just a very frustrating experience having to wait almost 2 years to get (almost) everything we paid for.
Cody was attention to detail and it felt like he wasn’t even there. We loved working with him.
Cody was great!
His cell service is sketchy, cause Montana, so he was hard to reach at first. But his work and his professionalism day of the wedding was out of this world. He just a guy who loves what he does and is great at it! And it shows! We loved having him as a part of our day. Thanks Cody!
Highly recommend
Dave and I had the best time with Cody! He had us smiling and laughing the entire shoot. We never once felt uncomfortable or awkward, which led to some unforgettable pictures. Cody is VERY talented and we are so glad we chose him to capture these memories for us.
Cody is that perfect combination of professional and "let's just have fun." My wife and I had such a blast taking photos with him and the pictures turned out phinominally.
When you hire a photographer, you want someone who can confidently do a few things:
1. They need to know how to find the best location.
2. They need to know how to capture the view with all it's God-given glory.
3. In whatever condition that the weather permits, they need to know how to maximize the lighting and build an experience you'll never forget.
4. Above all, they need to know how to capture you for who you are while putting your best expressions and movements on display to remember the emotion behind those moments you'll never forget.
Cody Payne is exceptional at all of the above. He found a way to keep the entire photo shoot about my wife and I on our special day. He never let it feel like a photo shoot.
The day is about you. The moments are about you. The photo shoot is about you. Cody Payne is all about you.
All that to say, book him!
