/// Justin & Natalie Upton

What we do ///
Justin <> VP of Product Development for an ATM company
Natalie <> Stay At Home Mama for Finley Girl! I'm so happy I've had this time to slow down and enjoy life's beautiful moments.   

Our Favorite thing to do together ///
We love being together.  We don't care what we're doing!  Justin loves to surf.  He's the best when he comes off of the water!  I like to hang out on the beach and watch him in his element. When we first started dating, Justin tried to teach me to surf. I prefer just paddling around and hanging out on the board. 

How we met ///
Brandi and Jacob introduced us! Justin and Brandi have been friends with each other since high school.  Long story short... I was a District Manager for Abercrombie & Fitch and got promoted to Houston.  A friend introduced me to Brandi and we became fast friends.  Brandi and Jacob had a Valentine's Day party for their "single" friends and I was the only girl!!  Justin and I met that night.  We were dating a month later.  We've been together for 3 years and married for a year and a half.  

Favorite thing about him ///
I love so many things about Justin.  My favorite things about him are his sense of humor, and his ability to do anything he puts his mind to.  He's amazing!  He can play almost any instrument, and he is always surprising me with some random skill he has.  His love for me is something I cannot believe I lived without for so much of my life.  He always takes amazing care of me, and wants to make me happy every day.  To top it all off... my Husband is the most amazing Dad to our Finley Girl.  It's the sexiest.  

Favorite thing about her ///
Natalie is the Yin to my Yang.  When I am excited and overzealous, she calms me down.  When I am trying to wing it, she is always prepared and with a plan.  She's up for anything, which is great for me because it gets me out of the house.  She's the most selfless person I've ever met.  

Favorite places to shop ///
His <>  All Saints, Zara, Urban Outiftters
Hers <>  All Saints, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and I still love getting classics from Abercrombie & Fitch.... I also adore rompers.  I would wear one every day if I could.  I don't care if they are "in style" or not! 

Currently Jammin' ///
We both love Ben Harper so much, our daughter's middle name is Harper!  Other than that, we dig Indie music, and anything we can dance to.  We listen to anything and everything.  

For sh*ts and giggles
Him <>  I hate shirts.  I take them off the minute I get in the door and would prefer to never wear one again.  (Justin is a secret romantic.  No one can believe it, but he remembers the oddest little tidbits I say and then spoils me rotten! -Natalie)

Her <>  My Dad is a YMCA Camping CEO. I've lived at Camp virtually my whole life and because of that,  would be a worthy contestant for the Hunger Games.

/// Jen + Caleb Coleman ///
We live in Texas with our wild man Cove (almost 3) Caleb is a firefighter + I am a stay at home mom with some random side jobs/hustlin' + makng shit happen (haha)!

Together ///
Our favorite thing to do together is L I F E. We love everything from the simple things like coffee in the morning or late night talks to Travel and Adventure!! If its date night, you can for sure find us eating Mexican food :)

The Start ///

Caleb and i met through a mutual friend in 2004. We always had an unspoken connection but we both were always in other relationships. He moved out to California for a couple years and I went to visit him and other friends and we stayed in touch. He moved back home and we hadn't seen each other for a year! One night he hit me up to hang out and for some reason I went! We both had ended our previous relationships and that was it. Pretty much, inseparable after that night. We moved in together very soon after! Married in 2009 / had Cove in 2010 and here we are now together for 6 years :)


Her Favorite ///

My favorite thing about Caleb would for sure be his laugh. He just has such a good loving spirit about him and anyone who meets him loves him. Especially me!! 


His Favorite ///
Her kind heart and generosity. Jen will drop anything for anyone, always there.



Her Shops ///
everywhere! F21,Target, UO, zara, H&M, thrifting! I'm more of a window shopper though, I really have to like it to buy it!


His Shops ///
Not much of a shopper "i spend all my money on cool shit" aka fixing up his 1967 Land Cruiser, triathlon gear, & running shoes! if he does shop its UO, H&M, or thrifted by Jen.


Currently Jammin' ///
Circa Survive, A lot of Michael Jackson because Cove is obsessed, Lana del Rey, and our friends, The Polyphonic Spree, have a new album coming out in May that will be amazing!

Sh*ts + Giggles ///

We have never been on a plane together, ever! Only road trips! Need to change that ...or just take more road trips!

5 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.














I can't believe it's been 5 years!!! Woah baby!!! What a rollercoaster! It's been fun, it's been hard, it's been work, it's been exciting, it's been crazy. One thing I do know is I picked a good one. He loves me more than anything. He is encouraging. He cooks like a beast. He has the biggest heart. He is so much fun. He is goofy. He is a cuddle bunny. He loves to travel. He loves life! He will never give up on us. I love you babe, wishing you were here with me right now! Happy Anniversary!!! I am so proud of us!
