Alayna & John

Some wedding days feel like a fairytale unfolding right before your eyes and September 27th, 2025, was exactly that for Alayna and John. The air was warm, the sun golden, and Sheboygan gifted us the kind of weather that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in.

The adventure began at the Sheboygan Collective, where family and friends gathered with buzzing anticipation. The room was filled with joy as Alayna and John promised forever to one another, surrounded by the people who love them most. The celebration had barely begun, and yet every moment already felt like magic.

Then came the trolley ride and what a ride it was! The whole wedding party piled in, laughter spilling out as the trolley clattered along. Between toasts, cheers, and the occasional burst of song, it felt like a moving celebration. The ride brought us to Maywood, where the quiet trails and glowing trees offered a beautiful pause. Here, Alayna and John had a chance to breathe, hold each other close, and share those in-between moments that truly tell their story.

But the story didn’t end there. When the doors opened to the Village at 170, the night shifted into a new chapter filled with warmth, laughter, and dancing feet. The emotions didn’t stop there. Later in the evening, Alayna dedicated her bouquet to her mom, a gesture so heartfelt that it brought tears to nearly every eye in the room. It was a moment of love, honor, and family that added a whole new layer of meaning to the day.

Another touching moment came when Alayna shared a father–daughter dance with her dad, full of smiles, tears, and a reminder of the deep bonds that shape us. And just when everyone thought the emotions couldn’t run any deeper, John stepped onto the dance floor with his daughter. The way she looked up at him, beaming as he twirled her around, was a scene no one will soon forget. To then having John wave to his bride to join, creating such a beautiful moment to capture.

And then…the adventure exploded into joy. The music kicked in, and the dance floor came alive. From epic dance circles to sing-alongs, it was the kind of reception where every guest was part of the story, and the energy never slowed down.

Alayna and John’s wedding wasn’t just an event; it was an adventure. From the heartfelt vows to the trolley ride to the dances that left us all in tears to the laughter that filled the night, it was a journey of love and celebration. I feel so grateful they trusted me to capture their story, one chapter at a time.

Here’s to you, Alayna & John, thank you for letting me be part of your incredible adventure.
