Meet the heart behind Rogue Image Photo
Hi! I’m the photographer and storyteller behind Rogue Image Photo. Based in Indianapolis, I’ve built my business around capturing authentic moments with a documentary touch. My approach is clean, crisp and timeless—focused on the candid laughs, quiet tears and in‑between moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours.
I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, inclusive experience for every couple and family I work with. Over the years I’ve photographed over 450 weddings and milestones all across Central Indiana, from downtown Indianapolis celebrations to countryside elopements. My local expertise means I know the best venues—like Crowne Plaza Union Station, The Bluffs at Conner Prairie and The Sixpence—as well as hidden gems and perfect backdrops for every season.
When we work together, you’ll get more than a photographer. I’ll be your guide, helping you plan timelines, feel comfortable in front of the camera and enjoy every minute of your day. I believe your photos should be as unique as your story, and I’m honored to preserve those memories for generations to come.

Our Process: What You Can Expect
Consultation
Every wedding story begins with a conversation. When you reach out, we’ll schedule a call or coffee chat to get to know one another. We’ll talk about your vision, the venue and what details matter most to you. I want to hear how you fell in love and what you imagine for your day.
Engagement Session
Most of my collections include an engagement session. It’s a relaxed opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and to create images you can use for save‑the‑dates, invitations or a guest book. It also helps us build trust before the big day.
Planning & Timeline
Throughout your planning, I’m just an email away. I’ll provide guidance on light, locations and timing. Closer to your wedding, we’ll work together (and with your planner if you have one) to create a timeline that leaves room for moments you don’t want to rush.
Wedding Day
On your wedding day I arrive early, prepared and excited. My style balances hands‑on posing guidance during formal portraits with a documentary approach during your ceremony and reception. I’ll capture every detail, laugh, tear and dance floor move without interrupting the flow of your celebration.
Editing & Delivery
After the wedding I personally edit your images to ensure they are true to life, timeless and cohesive. You’ll receive a sneak peek within a few days so you can relive the magic right away. Your full gallery will be ready within [4-6] weeks and delivered via a private, easy‑to‑share online gallery.
Wedding Collections & Investment
Your wedding day is unique, and your photography package should be too. To keep things simple, I offer three core collections designed to fit a range of wedding sizes and timelines:
Collection I – Starting at $3500
• 6 hours of continuous coverage
• A complimentary engagement session
• Professional editing and high‑resolution images delivered via online gallery
• Print release for personal use
Collection II – Starting at $4500
• 8 hours of coverage with two photographers (perfect for capturing multiple perspectives)
• Engagement session
• Sneak peek within 72 hours

Collection III – Starting at $5500
• Full‑day coverage (up to 10 hours) with two photographers

• 12×12 custom designed album
Looking for something different? I’d be happy to create a bespoke package tailored to your celebration—whether it’s an intimate elopement at a courthouse or a multi‑day affair. Reach out and let’s design a collection that meets your needs and honors your budget.
Kind words from our couples
Leigha & Ryan: “We’ve worked with Rogue Image Photo for fall minis, our engagement session and family photos, and every time we’ve been thrilled with the results. Cody takes the time to understand what works best for us and pays attention to every detail. He guided us through our wedding day with gentle reminders and was always ready with answers and support. We can’t wait to work with him again!”
Sarah & Scotty: “From engagement photos at the library to our winter wedding, Cody and his team were worth every penny. The pre‑planning and organization were top‑notch, and on the day of, they kept us on schedule and made sure every shot was taken—even helping with little hiccups like swapping shoes in the snow. Our photos arrived quickly, with a perfect mix of traditional portraits and candid moments.”
Ariel & Brett: “Our engagement shoot was seamless, professional and so much fun. Cody’s attention to light, location and those in‑between moments captured not just how we look, but how we feel about each other. Communication was clear and timely, and the turnaround exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to work with Rogue Image Photo again for our wedding!”
