A glimpse of newlywed bliss: Rare photos of John and Jackie heading to auction that show the Kennedys during candid moments in their Georgetown townhouse John F. Kennedy was an up-and-coming Senator when he married Jacqueline in September 1953 Their wedding was a national spectacle, and the next spring a photographer documented their life in a week-long project Photos show Jackie taking adult education classes at Georgetown University and John playing sports with his brothers during downtime They were living in a townhouse in a historic neighborhood of D.C. Photos of a young John and Jacqueline Kennedy just months after their wedding have been put up for auction, showing the early years of America's most famous first couple. Photographer Orlando Suero was a staffer for Three Lions Picture Agency and he pitched the idea of following around the couple for a week to see what their life was really like. The resulting collection of photos, now being sold by RR Auction, show some candid and intimate moments for the couple. The power couple is seen posing on the steps of the Capitol, but the more unscripted moments- like when Jackie adjusts John's tie before a gala or when she sits in a classroom at Georgetown University- are the ones that stand out the most. The look of love: Then-Senator John Kennedy and his new wife Jackie agreed to a week-long photo shoot chronicling their lives in 1954 Looking forward: Their wedding was a social spectacle in the fall of 1953 and they agreed to do a 'week in the life' spread for a photographer to capitalize on their celebrity in the spring of 1954 Downtime: Photographer Orlando Suero captured them both on and off the Hill as part of the deal, like this moment where Jack reads a newspaper in the backyard of their Georgetown townhouse while Jackie looks on Their wedding in September 1953 gained national attention and the chance to capitalize on that popularity was seen as a keen public relations move in Kennedy's strategic mind. The black and white photos capture the newlyweds in the beginning of their marriage, well before the rumors of affairs and his assassination tainted their family name forever. Instead, the collection of photos on sale at show them smiling adoringly at one another, with Jackie at his side while he does work from home, holding hands while walking down the cobbled sidewalks of Georgetown, and climbing the steps to the Capitol as a prelude to the role that politics would play in their legacies. Their neighborhood: The Kennedys lived in a number of townhouses in the historic D.C. area of Georgetown Her personal endeavors: Jackie is seen taking a picture she bought to be exchanged with her pet poodle in tow (left) while cramming for a test in front of Georgetown University (right) Front row: She enrolled in continuing education classes at nearby Georgetown University following her wedding to Kennedy, and she focused largely on American history Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1952 after beating Republican incumbent Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. His role in the Senate was not his first in politics, as he was first elected to Congress in 1946 after his father Joe suggested then-sitting Rep. James Michael Curley leave the House of Representatives to become the mayor of Boston. Clearly his best political role came later, when he was elected as President in 1960, but these photos show an earlier time in his career. He was single during his early days in Washington, but didn't stay that way for long as he was introduced to a journalist named Jacqueline Lee Bouvier. After graduating from George Washington University, Jackie was hired as a photographer for The Washington Times-Herald and was engaged to a stockbroker for three months before that union got called off. She was introduced to her future husband by a fellow journalist at a dinner party in May 1952 and they dated intermittently until after he was elected as Senator that fall when things between them got more serious. They got engaged in June 1953 and married that September. Star turn: The couple are caught in a private moment before heading to a black tie event Ever the hostess: Jackie was a society figure and regularly entertained in their Georgetown home on Dent Place The high life: The couple dined out in D.C. frequently, and John actually proposed to Jackie in the booth at their neighborhood pub (not the restaurant pictured) No small occasion: Even though the were just sitting on the floor reading, that doesn't mean that a dress went wasted The historic neighborhood of Georgetown holds a special place in the couple's personal history as John lived in a number of area houses throughout the years, including at least three that he and Jackie shared. The photos up for auction were taken over the course of a week in April 1954 by photographer Orlando Suero. At that point, the couple was living at their home at 3321 Dent Place, which was affectionately called 'The Red House'. They rented that four-bedroom home until October of 1954 and it was conveniently located for their needs. Jackie was taking continuing education classes in American history at nearby Georgetown University. The boys: JFK was very close with his younger brother Bobby (seen front left) and they hung out frequently Healthy: John (seen in the background) suffered an injury during WWII that caused him health issues throughout, so his physical activity lessened over the years Bonding: Robert was 9 years younger than Jack but they grew close after a lengthy trip abroad and ended up working together for much of their careers It is also only a half mile away from Billy Martin's Tavern, the local haunt where Jack proposed to Jackie in their favorite booth. 'The twenty photo sessions that ensued during that week captured the balancing act that was the Kennedys" life at the time, beautifully illustrating the professional, public, and personal facets in stunning detail,' the auction press release reads. Whether at work - in his Senate office and at home, often with Jackie by his side; at play - tossing a football, painting in the sun, strolling down a sidewalk arm in arm; or at public events - dressing for formal occasions, preparing to host political dinners, attending galas; the charisma and grace that captivated the nation shines through in each image.
