Jerry and Lige have loved each other for 56 years. I recently spent an afternoon in their home, hearing their stories and capturing the genuine respect and adoration they have for each other. Their story has taken them from Mississippi to New York to South Carolina, with many adventures along the way. The way Jerry and Lige look at each other blew me away (and had me crying in my editing chair!) I’m so grateful to have spent an afternoon with these amazing people. —from the photographer, Devin Hayman
