Mr. & Mrs. Bontrager,
First of all, I couldn’t have been happier when you reached out to me and asked me to be your photographer. The joy it gives me to be a part of such a tender and sweet time in two people’s lives is unexplainable. When the two of you told me that beautiful bride and groom portraits were your number one priority for this day MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT. You couldn’t be sweeter together and being able to capture those soft moments you spent together alone was a blessing. You both are more than naturals and I love how you melt in each others arms as if no one is even watching.
Bronson, the way you love your bride is incredible… your love is so gentle and kind. You do incredibly well what 1 Corinthians instructs of you. Tori, you are one of the most kind-hearted women I’ve ever met… you have a way about you that is exuberantly radiant and peaceful. You made an incredibly stunning bride, inside and out. Together the two of you light up a room, your joy and love for one another is extravagant and much sought after. Hold on to each other and I know you two are going to make waves in this world together.
Your wedding day at Sts. Peter & Paul Social Hall in South Bend, IN couldn’t have gone smoother. I truly believe that your day was every bit of a reflection of who the two of you are. Gorgeous, joy-filled, peaceful and refreshing. Thank you a million times over for picking me to be a part of it.
Love you two,
Ash
