© 2006 Hadley Spagna PhotographyShort of over-indulging at Paci in Southport, it takes a lot to motivate me to exercise. Although I do enjoy it (especially spinning), finding the time can be a challenge. Well, shortly after taking a peek at this client's wedding album I was inspired to don my yoga wear and balance my energy.
After their fun and wet (well, wet for me) family session on the beach we headed back to their house. I casually snapped some more images and basked in the glory of knowing I had a CF card filled with beautiful images. I would love to say that the beautiful images were a result of my hard work and raw talent, but really, the images were a result of this family's amazing connection with each other. They're happy, positive and the type of people you want to be around.
Sitting on their couch I saw their wedding album and flipped through the pages. The same beauty and energy I saw in the photographs we created on the beach were in their wedding album. The photographs taken before the wedding were not of an anxious bride. The bride was gorgeous, radiant and at peace (and wearing, by the way, an exquisite gown with the most elegant detailing at the hem). No nerves, no worries, just happiness, bliss. To which I asked, "Weren't you nervous?" My client told me all about her morning that day which included listening to a great CD, making a trip to the beach and practicing yoga. That sealed my fate. Shortly after I arrived home that afternoon I was dusting off my mat and searching for my favorite pair of yoga pants.
This session was a favorite of mine because the photographs we created were the byproduct of this family's beautiful energy. They were so positive, loving and plain ol' fun people to hang out with on a Saturday morning. Any one of the images from this session I would love to put on this blog, or on my website. I had to pick a few, so here are four from that day.
