Some love stories begin in the most unassuming places. For Ariana and Braden, it started on the campus of the University of Indianapolis—two students crossing paths and eventually choosing not only each other, but a life built side by side in the city where it all began.

Their wedding felt like the natural continuation of that story—full of meaning, emotion, and moments that mattered. After years of growing together, Ariana moved back to Indianapolis post-graduation, with Braden joining her from Crawfordsville the following year. It was there, back in the city that witnessed their beginning, that they celebrated their future.

From the start of the day to the final dance, everything about their wedding felt personal and intentional. Their ceremony echoed the pages of a fairytale; their reception unfolded like a scene from a favorite film. But the moments they held onto most weren’t in the spotlight.

Private vows. A last dance, just the two of them. These unscripted, intimate exchanges became the heart of the day.

To document it all, Ariana and Braden entrusted Rogue Image Photo, known for their clean, timeless aesthetic and intentional storytelling. With an effortless ability to find the emotion in every detail, Cody and Kendra turned fleeting moments into lasting keepsakes.

“We’re so glad we had Rogue Image Photo,” Ariana shared. “They gave us the gift of reliving it all—exactly as we felt it.”

Elegant, heartfelt, and filled with personal meaning, Ariana and Braden’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love—it was a reflection of the life they’ve built together. And thanks to Rogue Image Photo, every chapter is beautifully preserved.
