As a wedding photographer, I get to witness love in all forms — but Julia and Cody’s wedding was something truly special. This beautiful celebration was full of emotion, thoughtfulness, and unforgettable family moments that made the day feel intimate and deeply meaningful.
One of the most touching parts of the day was during the ceremony, when the couple’s family surprised them with a list of heartfelt marriage advice — little marriage tips gathered with love and care. Each one carried a message of hope, support, and wisdom, reminding everyone what it means to build a life together. You could feel the emotion in the room as they were read aloud.
And then came another unforgettable moment: a song prepared by their cousins. The music, the voices, the emotion... it was impossible not to get teary. I cried. Many others did too. It was a true celebration of love, family, and connection — everything a wedding should be.
During the ceremony, Julia and Cody exchanged rings in a deeply emotional moment, and Cody’s father, who officiated the ceremony, shared beautiful and heartfelt words that made it all even more meaningful.
After the ceremony, we made sure to capture family photos, a moment I always encourage couples to include. These photos are more than portraits — they’re a way to remember everyone who came to celebrate, support, and share in the couple’s joy. They become priceless memories for years to come!
The evening continued with a beautiful dinner, warm toasts, and a stunning decoration that reflected the couple’s style perfectly. Julia and Cody were radiant with happiness the entire time — laughing, crying, hugging… being present in every moment.
It was a joy and an honor to document this day. Weddings like theirs remind me why I love what I do.
If you're planning your wedding and looking for a photographer who captures both the big emotions and the little details, I’d love to hear from you.
