Celebrating the years

How could a couple, 61-years married, celebrate their anniversary? They agree to a photo shoot with props inspired by the movie “Up,” a gift from their family.

Donald and Dorothy Lutz have only one photograph from their wedding, but a scrapbook filled with great photos of their recent time on Boston’s Old Northern Avenue Bridge.

Sometimes the best gifts are ones that not only make memories, they capture the lines in our faces, the journeys we have taken on our adventures; and for Donald and Dorothy, the upward adventures through their 61 years of marriage.
