Laverne and Buddy embody so many of our hopes and prayers for the sweet newlywed couples we serve each day — time-tested devotion and kindness! They are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary…

Yes, I said 45 years married! That is totally worth a round of applause — and it would make their day if you leave them a note. (Write your “congratulations” in Comments below!) We are inspired by you, Laverne and Buddy — impressed at your enthusiasm to climb hills and navigate brambles for these photos, and so honored you would allow us to create a few historic portraits for you and your family to celebrate all your marriage means!

If you know Laverne and Buddy and would like to see the rest of their portraits, register here and we will let you know once they become available!
