About this vendor
We are now Burning Tree Photography! ... Capturing special memories in a beautiful, unique way for our clients has always been our top priority. There is a stark difference between merely taking a picture and truly telling someone’s story. We are storytellers. Every client has their own individual story, their own personality, and a personal dynamic that should shine bright in every image. This is what touches your heart when you look at your favorite picture of someone. Being able to anticipate moments is our specialty, like the groom who sheds that one tear as his eyes gaze upon his bride to be as she walks down the aisle or the bridesmaid who perfectly executes a high-flying jump in the air to catch the bouquet toss...we capture them all.

When we first met Cody, I pretty much knew she would be our wedding photographer. She was so sweet and kind and I could tell she knew was she was doing. When we had our engagement ...
shoot, it was about 40 degrees outside, but Cody knew exactly where to get the best shots so we barely realized we were numb!
When we got our photos back, we were just stunned. They are so beautiful, and I am looking SO much more forward to getting our wedding photos back. During our wedding Cody was great at wrangling all 27 (YES 27!!) of our bridal party in Forest Park to get the best shots. I even told her not to be afraid to yell at us ;)
I cannot wait to see the magic she captured on our special day, and looking forward to getting our album as well.
THANK YOU CODY!
Cody’s style is the most unique I’ve ever seen. Her visions are beyond any other photographer I’ve looked for. The engagement photos she took are in multiple settings that I have n...
ever seen before. She has a talent that is new and free flowing. I would recommend her before anybody else.
I'm not sure how to express in words how thrilled we are with the experience we had with Cody. She shot our engagement photos and wedding and every experience we had with her was f...
abulous. Cory’s work speaks for itself (and it says BEAUTIFUL) but what the photos won't tell you is how committed Cody is to give you what you want. I could not recommend her enough! We feel so privileged to have had her take our photos and really could not be happier with her, she exceeded our expectations! We now have some precious memories to treasure forever of ourselves, our family and friends on our special day! Thank you again Cody for an amazing service.
Cody is absolutely amazing! She shot both our engagement pictures and photographed our wedding. Cody's personality was so easy going she even relaxed my now husband who is very cam...
era shy. She really prepares for your wedding day - learning the names of your parents and family so pictures can go quickly and smoothly. She also takes time to show you previous pictures (and if you love them like I did) she can recreate them with you and your groom! Cody will make your day so much better. And you will obsess over your pictures for years to come!
Cody photographed our engagement and wedding and was absolutely incredible! She took the time to get to know my husband and I and what our personalities were like and allowed that ...
to show through the photographs she took. She is flexible while coordinating planning sessions, and always able to reach through phone, text, or email. Cody was extremely professional and captured our day just as we wanted it. She truly has a passion for what she does and it shows in her work. Thanks again Cody!
Cody was amazing! The pictures of Nicole and Greg's wedding turned out just beautifully, and truly captured all of the love present that day!
The wedding pictures turned out just perfect! Every setting was spectacular and really captures the magic of the special day!!
I highly recommend this photographer. The pictures were unique and artistic and completely met our needs.
As mother of the bride, I couldn't be happier with the photographs. My daughter is thrilled! So many special moments were saved!
The wedding pictures captured the joy of the couple, the beauty of the event, and everyone will cherish them forever.
Fantastic job at our daughter's wedding. Can't wait to get the photos!
I didn't get a chance to attend Nicole's wedding, but the pictures that Cody took of the event were very nice! The photos were beautiful, and Cody really captured the emotion of th...

My friend used Cody and I saw her pictures. They are phenomenal. She seems to have a real eye for this and provided some very unique pictures. Highly recommend.
Cody did a wonderful job with my wedding photos. She is likeable and easy to work with. She blended in so that she didn't detract when necessary, but still got the amazing shots ...
she needed. Her photos truly told the story of our day and I love the finished product! She has my recommendation!
Cody to the rescue!! Cody was super flexible with us. We were having trouble finding a photographer on such short notice. She and her husband were a wonderful team. They had captur...

the photos! Highly recommend her to everyone!
My wife and I needed a photographer for a small family wedding out in the country. Cody was more than willing to shoot for the wedding. It was a little out of the way for the avera...
ge wedding location, but she didn't mind going to the location. Since my wife and I obviously were going through the ceremony, I didn't think about what Cody was doing and hardly noticed her, but based on the pictures, she captured our moment very beautifully. She took pictures of everyone in their respective preparations and dressing up. She gathered us for group pictures afterword and that went very smoothly. I am very delighted with the results, the pictures look great, and we plan to schedule again the next time we need professional photography done.
We just received our wedding photos from Cody Krogman Photography for our May 2, 2015 wedding and they all look AMAZING. It's great that we are able to view them all on her websit...
e as well as download or order straight from there. The costs to order photos are super reasonable.
Cody is efficient, talented, prompt, and easy going. Her pricing was appropriate and her work is phenomenal. We would HIGHLY recommend her!!!
Cody is absolutely the best photographer to work with and I recommend her to everyone that I know. In my opinion, there is no better engagement photographer out there! She is extre...
mely personable, flexible and helped us to be just ourselves on our photo shoot. We couldn't have been more glad to have her for our engagement photos!
After about 30 different searches for a photographer, we found Cody on Thumbtack.com and we couldn't be more pleased with the whole process. She sat down with us to discuss what we...
were looking for and our budget with locations, and she was able to give us clear output on everything. We were taken on location to have an Engagement shoot in Forest Park. This was the very first photo shoot I had ever done with almost zero knowledge of them. I always felt I am the least photogenic person in the world. Not anymore. She was very natural with the process, knowing the angles, the lighting, and giving us ways to pose. Our pictures turned out amazing and we have already been told how amazing they look and have been telling my friends and family. She is very friendly to work with and we are extraordinarily happy. We definitely recommend Cody.
They did a wonderful job!! The pictures are so beautiful!!
Very good photographer! I barely noticed her walking around and taking pictures of my mother's reception in April. Lovely pictures at the park specifically. The weather and lightin...
g was perfect which resulted in gorgeous work. The website and set up is nicely done as well. I loved being able to view and order prints online being that I'm 8 hours away.
Working with Cody was great. We found her through Thumbtack.com. We got an accurate quote right from the start. We were able to meet with her a few days before our wedding so she...
could meet us and find out more about our personalities and expectations. She was very professional and efficient for our group photos and almost "invisible" during our reception. We got a great value for our set package. And all our friends and family we're able to easily view and download our beautiful photos online in about 4 weeks. My only regret was that we couldn't afford to have her stay beyond her set 4 hr time package. Plan accordingly.
I have several friends who have used Cody for their wedding and family photos. I've seen their pictures, and they are beautiful and very editorial. It looks like they were shot for...
a magazine. The color and clarity are perfect, and the pictures look natural and not posed. I have run into her through work and friend connections as well, and have seen how passionate she is about making sure her brides'/ customers' vision comes to life. I know someone who she borrowed a classic car from just to get the perfect 1940s bridal photo-shoot for her client...to me, that's commitment. She is reasonably priced relative to her talent and value of photos, and upfront and honest about rates, as well as booking/ contract terms- all of which are the same as other professional photographers. I'd highly recommend choosing her as your photographer, and contacting her as soon as you know your date because she books up quick from what I know.
Cody did a bridal shoot for me on the beach and the end results were nothing less than art. I normally don't like having my picture taken (or the end result) but I proudly display...
my favorite photo from the shoot in my living room. It is always a conversation piece when I have guests. She somehow made me feel comfortable in my own skin and i am so thankful for that. After seeing her previous work, I didn't think twice about signing the contract to retain her services.
Cody photographed my daughter and son in law's honeymoon in Mexico. My daughter was beautiful, with Cody capturing their love perfectly with her shots!! I plan on using her photo...
graphy skills for the next wedding in our family!
I have used Cody more than once. She is so darn good, we had he come on our big family vacation for an afternoon to have her take pictures of the whole family as a gift for my par...
ents. We will have Cody back for more pictures. Repeat business is all someone could ask for, and Cody will always have mine!
Cody offered me a discounted package. We met to hash out the details and I was waiting for her to provide me some details before booking. After reaching out to her to see what's t...
he hold up, she wanted to retracted her deal since another bride was willing to spend more for her service. At that point, she has already left a bad impression on me so I rather spend more money on another photographer. I understand that she's not obligated to do anything without a signed contract, but I can't say it didn't leave a bad impression when she was super eager to work with me and the next minute retracts on her offer as soon as she has the upper hand. Here's the thing, she can tell me this is standard practice regarding contracts and retainers and I didn't EXPECT her save my date without one, but it doesn't change the human expectation that when someone offers you something, you expect them to keep their word. Seriously, if she had from the very beginning told me that this is a limited time offer and can change anytime if she have another person interested, I wouldn't be so shock to see the email where she retract the offer. Or if she had honored the deal if I committed to the contract and retainer within x days, then I wouldn't be upset either. These are just suggestions for doing business with future clients. I understand it's just business and she just happens to value the money more than her reputation. What are you if your word means nothing? Although it was not an ideal situation to be in, it led me to find a photographer that I love more and I'm very willing to pay more for it. I'm happy with where I've landed and I guess if this didn't happen, I wouldn't have found the photographer I love. What makes Cody more unprofessional was that in response to this post, she went on Facebook, denied this ever happened, and ask others write her a review on the Knot. She said that I'm just mad that she didn't choose me over the other girl. For the record, she offered to service me if I paid the new $ amount. Because of her post, her friend used a low-blow tactic to attack my character without being involved in the situation to discredit my review. Why all of a sudden did she gets all these great reviews right after I spoke up about my experience? Wedding planning is supposed to be a good experience and she just left a nasty aftertaste in my mouth.
