gilbert couple | nate + jess

they are celebrating their first wedding anniversary next month.her goal is to get photographs of themselves every year around their wedding anniversary.can you even imagine the awesomeness of being their grand-kids someday?!having a visual history of your grandparents is a super cool treasure to have in my book...let alone the photographic treasure it is for yourself. :)I remember seeing them for the first time from a distance...allow me an artistic moment for a second...I can be a bit of an introvert sometimes and notice a lot in people watching...there are certain things and people that interest me visually.it's not the same in everyone, so it's not a tangible specific thing that grabs my attention...mostly it's a confidence and realness in a person that I notice...not trying to be anything but yourself.this couple is one of those couples that I couldn't help but be interested in...partly in fact to their easy bohemian/mostly hipster (actual, not wanna be) cool vibe...but this couple fascinates me mostly because of the way that they look at each other and how perfectly contrasted their features are.they're happy.his seriously blue eyes change when he looks at her...and his eyes crinkle just a bit as he smiles at her.she does this thing that I've seen a few times now...they'll be in conversation with themselves or others,and she comfortably embraces his one arm and links her fingers in his.not saying anything...just kind-of a side hug and very sweetly and happily is holding his arm and hand in both of hers.I don't know if it's her warm coloring in her hair and eyes...but there is something welcoming and "homey" that she puts off when you hang out with her...I'm laughing, I realize that I made it seem like I was describing her as sort-of a grandma...no, it's inviting to meet a seriously cool and very much artistic lady (check out her work on the OZ session...she did the wicked witch and scarecrow's hair) who is as approachable and kind as her.also, I like her tattoos...they are a beautiful replication of her wedding bouquet done by an incredible artist.this is nate + jess.two very genuine people celebrating their first year of being married...I hope I get to witness the next sixty anniversary's of this seriously cool couple. :)
