Cody and Jordyn didn’t just meet in any ordinary fashion. Usually a couple meets through mutual friends or a connection of some sort. But theirs is uniquely their distinct own. In 2010, they were both walking the aisles of Staples when they became acquainted with one another. After being just acquaintances, and then friends, they decided to start dating and for five years they dated with whole hearts and commitment to one another.
During their fifth year of being together, Cody decided it was time to make the love of his life, his chosen wife forever. On February 4, 2015, Cody arranged to design the perfect intimate proposal to Jordyn in the comfort of their own home. She said yes, and now a year and a couple months later, they are celebrating the beautiful beginnings of marriage to one another.
April 3rd, 2016 marks their special day at the serene Val Vista Lakes Events in Gilbert, Arizona. Their quintessential wedding was nothing short of intimate, elegant, and deeply personal.
Thank you Jordyn and Cody for allowing me to get a inside view of your passionate and deep love for one another. It was a honor to work with you both, as I loved seeing how you care for each other and capturing your unfolding love story.

A wedding day is also an important day for the bride’s father. It is the day when he chooses to love his precious daughter by giving her away to the man of her dreams.
The raw joy in Cody’s reaction is why first looks are the best moments in the day for a couple.
