Alyssa & Jack’s Silver Valley Wedding | A September Celebration in Manitowoc, Wisconsin

A Joyful Manitowoc, Wisconsin Wedding Filled With Love, Laughter & Beautiful Moments

There are wedding days that feel like a celebration from beginning to end.

Alyssa & Jack’s September 19th, 2026 wedding at Silver Valley Banquet Hall in Manitowoc, Wisconsin was exactly that.

From the excitement of getting ready to the emotional ceremony, romantic newlywed portraits, laughter with family and friends, and an energetic reception, their wedding day was filled with moments that felt genuine, joyful, and completely theirs.

As a Manitowoc, Wisconsin wedding photographer, these are the days I love most at Chasing Lilies Photography — days where couples can relax, be themselves, soak in the people around them, and let the story unfold naturally.

Because your wedding isn't about creating a perfect day.

It's about creating your day.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Day

Before Alyssa & Jack said “I do,” there was the familiar excitement that fills every wedding morning.

The anticipation.

The final details.

The laughter with family and friends.

The little moments of nervous excitement.

And that feeling that somehow the day you've been planning is finally here.

Alyssa's bridal look came together beautifully with hair and makeup by Jomaji Salon & Spa in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Her wedding gown from Edith's Formal Wear in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin completed her bridal look, creating a timeless style that fit beautifully with the feel of their September wedding.

Jack and his wedding party were dressed in suits from Men's Wearhouse in Grafton, Wisconsin, looking sharp and ready for the celebration ahead.

These getting-ready moments are some of the details couples sometimes don't realize they'll miss.

The people helping you get ready.

The excitement in the room.

The final touches before stepping into the rest of your life.

I'm there to photograph those moments, too.

A Silver Valley Wedding in Manitowoc, WI

When Alyssa & Jack chose Silver Valley Banquet Hall in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, they had a wonderful setting for both their ceremony and reception.

Having both parts of their wedding day at one location allowed the celebration to flow naturally from one moment into the next.

For couples searching for a Manitowoc, WI wedding venue, Silver Valley Banquet Hall provides a great setting for celebrating with family and friends while creating plenty of opportunities for wedding photography throughout the day.

And for Alyssa & Jack, it became the backdrop for one of the biggest days of their lives.

As a Wisconsin wedding photographer, I love when a venue allows the focus to stay on the couple and their people.

Because those are the photographs that ultimately matter most.

When Two People Say “I Do”

The ceremony was the heart of Alyssa & Jack's wedding day.

After all the planning, appointments, decisions, and anticipation, everything came down to this moment.

Standing together.

Surrounded by the people they love.

Promising forever.

There are certain wedding photographs that never lose their meaning.

The moment the groom sees his bride.

The reactions from parents.

The nervous smiles.

The hands held during the ceremony.

The first kiss.

The walk back down the aisle as husband and wife.

These aren't simply photographs of what happened.

They're photographs of what it felt like.

And that's what I want every Chasing Lilies Photography couple to experience when they look through their wedding gallery years from now.

The Newlywed Chapter Begins

Once Alyssa & Jack officially became husband and wife, it was time to celebrate!

Taking portraits of newlyweds is one of my favorite parts of a wedding day because the energy changes completely.

The anticipation is gone.

The ceremony is finished.

And now you get to enjoy the fact that you're married.

Alyssa & Jack's portraits captured the excitement and connection of newlywed life while giving them a little time together away from the rest of the celebration.

I don't believe couples need to spend hours posing for photographs.

Instead, I like to give you enough direction to feel comfortable while allowing your personalities and relationship to come through naturally.

Snuggle in.

Look at each other.

Be yourselves.

Those are the photographs that feel like you.

The Details That Completed Alyssa & Jack’s Wedding

Every wedding has those little details that bring everything together.

For Alyssa & Jack, the team behind their wedding day helped create a celebration that was beautiful, personal, and memorable.

Their wedding cake and desserts came from Johnson Bakery in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, adding a delicious finishing touch to the reception.

From the bridal details to the reception setup, these pieces of the day may seem small while you're living them — but they become part of the visual story of your wedding.

Years from now, you'll be able to look back and remember not only the people and emotions, but the details you carefully chose to make your wedding yours.

Then the Party Really Started

Once the formalities were finished, it was time to celebrate.

Elite Signature DJ brought the entertainment and helped keep the reception moving as Alyssa & Jack celebrated with their family and friends.

And this is where wedding receptions become so much fun to photograph.

The dance floor starts filling.

People loosen up.

The laughter gets louder.

Someone starts dancing like nobody is watching.

And suddenly, all of the planning fades away and everyone is simply having an incredible time.

Those candid reception photographs are some of my favorites because they don't feel manufactured.

They're real.

They're messy.

They're joyful.

They're memories.

The People Make the Wedding

Beautiful venues and thoughtful details are wonderful.

But the people are what make a wedding unforgettable.

Alyssa & Jack were surrounded by the people who have supported them, loved them, laughed with them, and helped shape their lives.

There were hugs.

Happy tears.

Big smiles.

Loud laughter.

Quiet moments.

And all of the little interactions that happen when people who love you gather together to celebrate your marriage.

Those are the moments I look for.

Because someday, the flowers will be gone.

The cake will be eaten.

The music will stop.

But the photographs of the people who stood beside you will remain.
