In May of 1954, Orlando Suero, a photographer on his first major assignment, spent five days with the Kennedys. He enjoyed their full cooperation and the intimate access that would later be denied to all but a few. In more than twenty photo sessions, Suero documented a typical week in the young couple's life: Jack at his Senate office, Jackie attending classes at Georgetown, and the couple playing touch football in the park. Suero's photographs capture the idyllic quality of the young couple's lives during their months in Georgetown. This remarkable document of John and Jacqueline Kennedy's first year of marriage recalls the romance and the promise embodied by their life together in America's last age of innocence.
