When the Morning Becomes Magic ✨
Before the music, before the crowd, before the chaos — there’s a quiet hum that fills the air on a wedding morning.
For Samantha and Abhi, that hum became pure celebration as their day unfolded at Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia — from the tender stillness of their first look to the unstoppable energy of Abhi’s Baraat.
There was laughter in every corner, joy in every frame, and a sense that this wasn’t just a wedding — it was the heartbeat of two families coming alive together.
Because a great Baraat doesn’t just start the day… it defines it. 💛

When you’ve walked ¼ mile in someone else’s shoes…
you stop judging — and start understanding. 💫
This week, Srinu and I get real about what it means to love across faith lines — inspired by the world’s growing curiosity about JD & Usha Vance’s interfaith marriage.
We’ve lived it — for over 26 years — a Hindu-Christian couple raising kids, running a business, and learning that love doesn’t have to match to matter.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Navigating interfaith marriage with respect
✨ Raising children in multi-faith homes
✨ Why kindness > conversion
✨ How public judgment can teach private grace
This isn’t about politics — it’s about people.
It’s about what keeps us human, humble, and hopeful.

Some nights don’t need chandeliers or ballrooms to feel magical — ✨
just family, laughter, and a sky full of Virginia stars.
Samantha and Abhijeet’s Mehndi was one of those moments that remind us what celebration is really about — connection.
Held in her aunt and uncle’s backyard in Leesburg, this poolside evening glowed with string lights, color, and laughter that echoed across generations.
The music, the henna, the warmth — it all blended effortlessly, proving that modern South Asian weddings aren’t about reinventing tradition… they’re about living it differently.
It’s not “his side” or “her side” anymore — it’s one story.
And for us, that’s where the real beauty lives.

NEW YouTube Episode Out Today - 20 years. Hundreds of weddings. Thousands of guests.
And trust me — I’ve heard it all.
From the aunties whispering over samosas to the groomsmen eye-rolling during speeches… there’s a whole world of wedding guest truths that nobody talks about — until now.
This week on South Asian Wedded Life (SAWL), I’m spilling what I’ve learned from two decades behind the lens:
🎙 “10 Things Indian & Fusion Wedding Guests Secretly Hate.”
It’s not about shame — it’s about awareness. Because once you know what drives guests crazy (and how to fix it), your wedding becomes something everyone actually enjoys.
💛 Here’s a little sneak peek:
• The real reason cocktail hours drag on way too long.
• Why outfit changes can kill the mood.
• How late timelines quietly sabotage the dance floor.
• What “fusion food” really means to your guests.
If you’re planning a wedding — or have survived one — this is your sign to tune in. Your guests might not tell you these things… but I will. 😉

Between the turmeric and the henna lies a moment most people never talk about — the quiet blessings that happen in between.
For me, it’s also where one of my most personal lessons began…
When I first stood as a sister-in-law during my brother-in-law’s arranged marriage in India, I saw — and felt — things I’ll never forget.
Tradition. Love. Power. And a humbling kind of heartbreak.
That experience changed how I see every Indian wedding we photograph today.

This week with The Regeti`s - Amy and Srinu on SAWL YouTube @amyregeti, we’re kicking off our first DUO podcast/YT episode into one of America’s most talked-about couples — Usha & JD Vance.
She’s Hindu. He’s Christian.
Together, they’re raising a family rooted in love, faith, and shared values.
For us, this isn’t about politics — it’s about partnership. About what really happens when belief meets belief, and two worlds choose to build one home.

✨ When Haldi Finds Harmony ✨
A modern glow on a time-honored tradition. 💛
There’s something about the Haldi that never fails to move us — the laughter, the playfulness, the chaos, and the calm. What was once a quiet, separate blessing for the bride and groom has evolved into something even more beautiful — a shared celebration of family, color, and connection.
More and more couples, like Samantha and Abhijeet, are choosing to celebrate side by side — blending both families into one joyful, golden memory. From sacred to shared, from traditional to together, the modern Haldi has become a bridge between cultures and generations.
For us, photographing it is witnessing unity in its most radiant form — where love truly shines golden. 🌿

What happens after “I do”?
For nearly two decades, we’ve photographed South Asian weddings across the world — but somewhere along the way, we realized something was missing.
There wasn’t a space where couples — especially those living between cultures — could talk about what comes next.
The laughter, the learning, the love that keeps growing long after the wedding day fades.
That’s where SAWL – South Asian Wedded Life was born.
🎙️ A podcast. A blog. A movement.
Created by us — Amy & Srinu Regeti — for couples like us, and for everyone who has ever wondered how to:
💛 Honor tradition while embracing individuality
💛 Blend two faiths, two languages, or two worlds
💛 Keep love alive amid weddings, in-laws, parenting, and life
SAWL is part celebration, part real talk, and part therapy for every couple navigating the beautiful chaos of South Asian-American married life.
Because behind every vibrant wedding lies a deeper story — one of balance, belonging, and becoming.

After two decades of photographing South Asian and fusion weddings, one truth always remains: trends evolve, but meaning never goes out of style.

It’s this simple.
Not everyone sees the beauty in the details anymore.
While many are shooting wider, faster, and flatter—we’re still here, focused on the quiet, meaningful, intentional moments. The kind that slow you down. The kind that last.
If muted, mass-produced wedding coverage isn’t your vibe—you’re in the right place.
We’d love to hear about your story, your vision, your details—and share a little of ours too.
It’s time to get focused, planning brides. 🎯

Raksha Sutra... for those of you who did not know what the threads are that the priest ties to the couple and the family members. They are sacred threads blessed by the priest for the wearer. It is one of our kid`s favorite parts when going to the temple or having family functions. 🧶







I have known about the Regeti's for a very long time. When it was finally time for my own wedding, we wanted important moments to be captured in a certain way focusing on family portraits/photos, but we also needed someone experienced with mixed wedding ceremonies. Despite us being awkward with posed photos, the Regetis captured everything so perfectly and kept us laughing along the way. They truly felt like they were part of the family by the end of it. Not to mention they were great at navigating family through photos without taking time away from us. Absolutely adore them.

Your wedding photography is more than just pictures-it's the art of preserving moments you'll cherish forever. Let's connect!

When you’ve walked ¼ mile in someone else’s shoes…
you stop judging — and start understanding. 💫
This week, Srinu and I get real about what it means to love across faith lines — inspired by the world’s growing curiosity about JD & Usha Vance’s interfaith marriage.
We’ve lived it — for over 26 years — a Hindu-Christian couple raising kids, running a business, and learning that love doesn’t have to match to matter.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Navigating interfaith marriage with respect
✨ Raising children in multi-faith homes
✨ Why kindness > conversion
✨ How public judgment can teach private grace
This isn’t about politics — it’s about people.
It’s about what keeps us human, humble, and hopeful.
