Cody, WY Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Big skies, alpenglow, and venues with views that do half the work — Cody weddings reward photographers who plan for altitude and light.

Photographing weddings in Cody

Mountain weddings in Cody trade predictability for drama — weather moves fast, alpenglow lasts minutes, and the best portraits often happen the moment a storm clears. We build flexible timelines and always know where the light will land.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Cody surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Cody

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Cody than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 9:02 PM and golden hour opens around 8:18 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:32 PM — a swing of 2 hours 30 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Cody ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Cody

These are the Cody venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
