So what were our guests of honor like on their big day? Both Reggie and Renee glowed with excitement. This was their day.

When I have the honor of photographing an anniversary event, my favorite part is at the beginning, before the day of the event, before a camera is even picked up. It is in meeting the couple, talking with them, and hearing how their love story began. For Reggie and Renee, their love story began in Junior High, here in Chapel Hill. Both admit that she noticed him first, but it wasn’t long before both were smitten. (aww!)
It is the people at an event that I love to capture. | Barbara Bell Photography
Allow me to introduce one of their guests and family members, Aunt Peggy.

You may recognize Peggy from the holiday party I photographed at Maitland Law Firm.
This Chapel Hill law firm was full of Christmas spirit at their Annual Holiday Open House.
My photography business has grown and thrived thanks to people like Peggy who refer clients to me. I am grateful for the word-of-mouth business that I receive because I find that when you work with dynamic and fabulous people, they know other dynamic and fabulous people…and I am totally biased here…but I LOVE working with and capturing these people. They believe in a sense of community, of family, and ultimately, they helped me to build a good, solid foundation to this business by referring me to their friends and family. For that I am grateful.
To Renee and Reggie, to be able to capture the two of you celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary by reaffirming your vows this past weekend, to see you surrounded by your family and your friends, to hear you say “Yes” and “I do” and “I will” to each other after 20 years of marriage was a joy to witness and an honor to photograph.
