Seriously, this was one of my favorite weddings ever! And Lainey was one of the most gorgeous brides ever! Lainey is a friend from high school, and I was so incredibly honored to be a part of her special day. Not just because the wedding was beautiful, elegant and fun, but because she has truly found a wonderful partner. I definitely enjoyed getting to know Clay and his family and friends! And I love Lainey’s family. I photographed her brother Chip’s wedding in May and discovered just how much fun her aunts, uncles and cousins are, so it was great to see them again, along with many old friends!
Lainey and Clay were married at the beautiful St. John’s in downtown Indianapolis, followed by a unique pre-reception party at her uncle’s jewelry store, G. Thrapp Jewelers , catered by her mom’s restaurant The Oh Yumm Bistro right next door, and a reception at Highland Country Club. Lainey has a professional background in event planning, so I knew everything would be spectacular, but she also had some assistance from the fabulous Leslie Jones with Leslie Jones Weddings. I love when my couples have great wedding planners – it really makes my job easier! It was a joy to work with Leslie!
