A Beautiful Day for Allie & Chris a JPS Events at Regions Tower Wedding
On September 14th, 2024, we had the honor of photographing Allie and Chris’s stunning wedding day at one of our favorite wedding venues in downtown Indianapolis, JPS Events at Regions Tower. The day was unusually warm for September, but that didn't take away from the magic that unfolded. Their wedding was an elegant blend of modern city vibes and intimate, personal moments that showcased their love for one another and their close-knit group of family and friends. Come along with Rogue Image Photo (one of the most well-known and respected wedding photographers in Indiana) for Allie & Chris's wedding day!
"Cody and his team was a dream to work with! From the initial planning stages, to helping with the timeline, to knowing the small details (like what shirt cuff links look good with!), to moving us through our wedding day (and rising to the challenges of being flexible with surprise changes) he took care of us at every stage. He had us smiling and laughing throughout the day and everyone said how fun, energetic, and professional Cody and his team are!"
