Less than a week ago I was approached by the board director of the Greater Washington Telugu Cultural Association (GWTCS) to cover their upcoming event. It was explained that it is a non-profit organization but yet they felt it would be great to have a professional photographer cover the event, little did they know I myself am a Telugu and belong to that Culture ! Here are few highlights from the event.
There’s what you see on wedding day.
And then there’s everything that makes us the photographers we are.
This channel is where we share the in-between —
the building, the learning, the late nights,
the marriage that has carried us through nearly two decades of photographing other people’s love stories.
We’re still very much in weddings.
Still shooting.
Still telling stories.
Still showing up for our couples.
But here, you’ll also see how we live, work, problem-solve, and grow together behind the camera —
because who we are off a wedding day shapes how we show up on one.
If you’re planning a wedding,
work in the wedding industry,
or simply love honest conversations about partnership, creativity, and building a life together —
you’ll fit right in.

Christmas in America is culture as much as it is tradition 🤍
It’s family, food, memories, and the people we carry with us — both near and far.
Today’s South Asian Wedded Life episode holds space for engagement, family dynamics, Indo-American life, and the emotions that surface when love and legacy meet.
Sending love to everyone navigating the season in their own way.
YouTube @amyregeti is where the entire heartfelt episode is ... head on over!
🎄 Merry Christmas, SAWL family.
There’s something special about engagement celebrations that are kept intimate — they breathe differently.
Bhavya & Jayant’s South Asian Indian engagement celebration at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, Virginia was filled with easy laughter, meaningful conversations, and the kind of togetherness that reminds you what these moments are really about.
Stone Tower is such a beautiful fit for smaller, lighthearted gatherings — open spaces, vineyard views, and a natural elegance that doesn’t need overproduction to shine. It’s a place where families can relax, reconnect, and truly enjoy being together.
It was also a pleasure working closely with Bhavya’s mom during the booking process. Her confidence and decisiveness — right from the referral — spoke volumes.
In so many Indian and Indian-American families, parents thoughtfully vet vendors while couples juggle school, residencies, fellowships, and demanding careers. When trust is there, everything flows exactly as it should.
Authenticity always wins.
The laughter, the smiles, the memories — and the promise of what’s still to come. 🤍

Coming off a wedding weekend always leaves me thoughtful 🤍
Somewhere between unloading camera bags, folding laundry, and realizing Christmas is next week, I found myself replaying a quiet thought I know I’m not alone in…
We shouldn’t have to explain neglect to our kids or visiting family in a place meant to teach reverence.
I finally sat down and talked about it — honestly, gently, and without judgment — in a new episode of SAWL - Spilling the Chai with Amy ☕️
If you’ve ever left a place of worship feeling spiritually full but physically unsettled… this conversation might be for you.

Hi Srinu,
Great Job. I bet they were pleased to find out you were Telugu as well after obtaining your services.
It reminded me of a Diwali Festival, which Sri brought me to during our first year together.

Hi,
This is the 2nd time I am coming across your photography – once at Bobby’s grad party and this one at our good ol’ GWTCS. I was there on both occasions and you do a wonderful job with the snaps. I like the angles and the extensive ranges of shots you take.
Very nice work!
I will be contacting you shortly as I run fashion show, and till now Ive had to deal with just memories of the events, or just plain old fuzzy pics.

Great job sir.

I love your pictures. I liked seeing them in your blog better than having to click on the slide show.
Your comments are well taken. Guess I was little lazy to upload the images here. So I just added a link to the slideshow.
Regards,

I like the slide show, there’s more pictures to look at.
Jennifer, thank you ! 🙂
Regeti, you are amazingly smart. Your contributions make me feel happy for and proud of our community. Guys like you go a long way in making a difference to this great nation we have chosen to call home.
Coming to your pictures, they are simply one of a kind. It is not easy to see artists faces and expressions up close. And you have made just that possible. Blogs such as yours are sure to serve as a shot in the arm for several other children (at heart) to open up and make a difference to the society we live in.
Best wishes!
