Cody Downard Photography

My friends and I recently took Cody’s fall photography workshop in Grand Teton National Park and it was an incredible experience, we were sad when it ended! Cody is a brilliant photographer, I highly recommend checking out his work. He is a very approachable and patient teacher who takes the time to make sure no questions go unanswered. One of the best things about taking one of his workshops is, Cody knows where to find the WY wildlife and the perfect locations (at the right time of day for great light) to capture amazing photos you will want to put up on your walls so you can always remember the beauty of Wyoming. Whether you are just picking up a camera for the first time or are a seasoned professional, you will walk away having learned a lot. For anyone thinking about taking one of his workshops or a private lesson, you are in great, knowledgeable hands with Cody!

Sometime in the not too distant future, Cody will have about 50 five star reviews. I’ll admit it’s very strange to be on the early end of reviewers for a stellar service, but trust me on this one. He’s somewhat new to the area, perhaps that’s the reason why I’m the first review, but he’s certainly not new to photography. Anyway, we worked with him for an ‘elopement’ style wedding in Grand Teton National Park, and learned the following things:
1. He’s a pro and the results speak for themselves. Have you seen the photos on his website? Naturally, our photos came out brilliantly. This was the main reason we chose him, obviously, and we were rewarded for it.
2. He’s easy to work with, laid back, personable, etc. This goes for before/​during/​after the shoots. It’s rare to find people both really good at their job and relaxed/​easy to work with at the same time.
3. He added value to our wedding. He helped suggest the location for the ceremony, recommended we look into moving the date due to visibility issues (unprompted by us, and appreciated because we don’t live there/​had no idea), and per #2, his personality added to a positive mood for the day.
4. His fee was totally reasonable compared to the other people we contacted. He was providing a fair price for his services, not taking advantage of an event that started with a ‘W’ like most others do. Karma points.
Yep, that sums it up. Call him already.
