Stone skipping, chicken dancing, apple picking... just some of the craziness that surrounded this shoot. One thing I know for sure about this couple: Kaitlin & John know how to have a lot of fun together. That, and they wear matching plaid shirts in a surprisingly stylish  manner. As an old married fart, I've come to realize a few things about marriage. It works really, really well when you can run like a maniac outside in the dark on the middle school football field with your puppy in your pajamas at 11pm at night. Or dance to "Gangnam Style" with said puppy and husband in your living room.  And just from the few hours I spent with Kaitlin & John, I have no doubt that these two will surpass any kind of challenge marriage brings them because they both know how to boogie down and enjoy each other well. They know how to clap their hands and flap their wings and shake their butts. They know how to commit their lives to making the other smile and laugh. John knows how to pick Kaitlin up next to an apple tree so she can pick the perfect apple, and I'm sure he knows what it's going to take to push her toward her dreams and help her succeed. Kaitlin knows how to grab John and rope him into a squished (almost noogie-style) embrace, where she's literally cradling his head and laughing her face off. And, I'm sure she will know how to hold him when he needs her, how to support him, how to love him and keep him close. The fun, the crazy, goofy silliness of a relationship is not just superficial sport. I really believe humor meets our most basic needs. Our desire to be wanted and tested and surprised by the goodness we can pull out of life. Cheers to these two hooligans. May your marriage be filled with the same fun and laughter and realness I witnessed during this shoot.
