Many of my fondest college memories begin with the statement, “RA!” (Read that in all of the exuberance that those two letters could ever possibly hold in a greeting.) As a college student, I was a Resident Assistant for a few years, and my perfect little Mary was one of my very favorite residents. I would often come back to my room with notes from her left on the whiteboard on my door - often they would just say, “RA!” Sometimes, they had a little more substance. She echoed this greeting every time I saw her - in the cafeteria, in the hallway, in class… Mary exemplified joy and excitement in every way possible.

Fast forward almost ten (TEN?!) years, and this precious girl was living in Florida, and got engaged to the most adorable man. One Instagram DM later, and I had booked myself tickets to Florida to photograph this destination wedding in the middle of February (give me all of that warmth, please and thank you).

Mary + Matt, I have no good words to say except for…thank you. I love you too much.
