RP Update

So you are wondering what has happened to The Regeti’s!!! Well we are here, catching up on a lot of lost sleep none the less however our little mini-vacation here has been packed full of wonderful moments as the holiday season approaches and the kid’s class parties kick into play and our parently duties have to kick into action we attend our oldest daughter Brittney’s chorus début… let’s just say it brought back some memories indeed of those chorus days when we would perform at the Mall! Oh my how happy am I that I am not the one on stage, but they did a great job and you could just tell the children were so very happy and proud of the time and effort that the group put into it they were awesome even though towards the end Santa Clause took over on the electric guitar and out did the chorus, but hey let’s just say thank goodness for photographs that tell a moment and a montage that can make the memory!

Santa Clause

We also have been working very hard networking with some of the locals here in Warrenton getting to know the town and the people in it during our winter break and are feeling quite accomplished. This evening having shot Steve and Todd’s headshots, who are our neighbors at our Studio. Steve owns his own settlement firm here in Warrenton. We will be photographing Steve, his wife and 9 children this upcoming Saturday! We are so excited as they are all home schooled and have not recently had any photos taken in a while. His children range from 6 months to 14 years so it should be really fun!!!

And now for the update as many of you have been waiting… our bunny drama! Today the first two have finally opened their eyes as they are all beginning to hoppity hop around! Instinct is also kicking in as they are now hoping over to the potty area of the cage and going potty and some of their eyes aren’t even open yet! Okay so who can say these little critters aren’t just adorable! Although the drawback is that Momma isn’t so friendly these days and some say that she will return to her normal state once the bunnies stop nursing. I hope so, as we were really enjoying her. It looks like we are also getting quite attached to two of the little ones but inevitably will have to take the one’s that are still left back to the pet shop sometime right before Easter, hopefully they will be able to find them all happy suitable homes!

The dhol hits and everyone's feet just... know what to do. That's Amar making his way in on horseback, drummer leading the way. We always tell couples: the groom's entrance is never just about the groom. It's about who shows up to walk him in.

You can plan the outfits and the horse and the route, but you can't plan the way a grandmother's face lights up watching her grandson ride in to get married. That's the stuff we're always watching for. Want to talk about photographing your baraat? Drop a comment or send us a DM.
That look. Kavya's giving Kyle the kind of smile that happens when you forget the camera's even there — and if you look close, you'll catch her henna peeking out from under all that lace. We love these quiet in-between moments just as much as the big ceremony ones, because they tell you everything about a couple without a single word.

Kavya and Kyle's day at Stonewall Golf Club was full of these — two families, two traditions, one really good story. Want moments like this at your wedding? Send us a DM or book a consult, we'd love to chat.

That's not posed. That's a groom helping bustle his bride dress. Meanwhile Kavya's mehndi is still fresh on her hands, her gown is doing all the work a lehenga usually does, and nobody in this frame is thinking about the camera at all.

This is what fusion weddings actually look like up close — two families, two traditions, one moment where it all just hits different. Eighteen years of shooting these and the quiet, unscripted seconds like this one still get me every time.

That split second where she caught her own reflection in the moment — and just smiled. We see this look so often with brides and it never gets old. What makes this one extra special? Look closer at her hands. Mehndi under a classic white gown is exactly the kind of fusion detail we live for — two traditions, one beautiful day for Kavya and Kyle at Stonewall Golf Club.

These are the details that tell your whole story, not just the dress or the venue. Tell us in the comments — team lehenga, team gown, or (like Kavya) team both?

That stretch of aisle right before everything changes. Kavya's veil catching the light, her dad walking her forward, and a crowd that's half sherwani-and-saree, half Sunday-best suits — all leaning in for the same reason. You can feel the room holding its breath.

This is what we love about fusion weddings — two families, two traditions, one aisle. Stonewall Golf Club gave us the perfect quiet backdrop for a moment this loud with meaning.

That little spritz of perfume before the veil goes down — it's such a small moment but I always catch my breath when I see it happen. Kavya's mehndi was still fresh, her hands moving carefully so the design wouldn't smudge, and she was laughing at something just out of frame. This is the kind of candid I live for during getting-ready time: not posed, just real.

These quiet minutes before a wedding say so much about who someone is. Tell me — what's your favorite getting-ready ritual, perfume, jewelry, first look with a parent? Drop it below, and if you're planning a fusion wedding of your own, send us a DM to chat about your day.

This is the shot you can't pose. Her reading whatever was on that card, the smile sneaking out before she even finishes it, him catching it out of the corner of his eye — that's the kind of moment we're scanning for all day at a wedding. Not just the couple. The whole room reacting around them.

Kavya & Kyle's day at Stonewall Golf Club was full of these little side-stories happening in the crowd while the main event unfolded up front. Years from now, this is the photo that gets pulled out and someone says "I remember exactly what she was laughing about." Tell us in the comments what moment from your own wedding you wish someone had caught on camera.

Can we talk about these iridescent roses for a second? Kavya's florist tucked them in with the orchids and delphinium and I about dropped my camera. That little shimmer catching the light against all that ivory and lace — it's the kind of detail you don't notice until you're editing at 11pm and suddenly you're grinning at your screen.

This is why I always tell couples: let your bouquet have a little personality. It doesn't have to match everything perfectly. Kavya and Kyle's whole day was full of these small, unexpected touches that made it so them. Tell me — would you ever go for unexpected color or texture in your bouquet, or keep it classic? Drop a comment, I love hearing this stuff. And if you're planning a fusion wedding and want photos that catch these details, send us a DM to chat.

This is the row I always look for. Not the aisle, not the mandap — the row of family members leaning into each other, watching someone they love start a new chapter. Grandmother in green, mom in red, little cousin already bored and ready for the reception — that's a whole generation in one frame, and in ten years this photo is going to mean even more than it does right now.

Kavya and Kyle's day at Stonewall Golf Club gave us so many moments like this — the quiet ones in between the big ones. Got a wedding full of family you want captured right? Send us a DM, let's talk.

That forehead kiss right after the vows – the one where everything finally goes quiet for a second. Her mehndi still fresh, his hand steady on her arm, and neither of them in a rush to let go. This is the kind of moment we live for: two families, two traditions, one really good hug.

Fusion weddings have a rhythm all their own, and we love figuring out how to capture it right. If you're planning one, let's chat about your day.

Look at where they snuck off to — past the reception, down a quiet path, just the two of them. You can see her mehndi peeking out from under his hand, and that's the detail that gets me every time. Two families, two cultures, one quiet kiss before the whole world gets loud again at the reception.

This is why we love getting couples alone for even five minutes on a wedding day. The best moments aren't posed, they just happen when you give people space to be together. Kavya and Kyle, thank you for letting us catch this one.

That little embroidered handkerchief tucked into her mehndi-covered hand? That's not an accident. Someone packed that for exactly this moment. Kavya wasn't posing for us here — she was wiping her eyes mid-vow, and Kyle had no idea the camera caught it because his back was turned. Those are my favorite frames, the ones nobody's performing for.

Twenty years of shooting weddings and I still get a little emotional watching a bride try to hold it together before she just... can't. This is why we never stop shooting during the quiet in-between seconds. Tell me — did your wedding have a moment like this one? Drop it in the comments, or DM us if you're planning your big day and want photos that catch the real stuff too.

Family portraits can go two ways: everyone's perfectly posed and smiling right on cue, or you catch the one little grin that makes it real. Kavya and Kyle got both in this one — look at that flower girl leaning in like she's got a secret. That's the moment we're always watching for in between the "official" shots.

Stonewall Golf Club gave us the prettiest backdrop for golden hour, but honestly, it's the people in front of it that make these photos worth keeping. Planning a fusion wedding of your own? DM us — we'd love to hear about it.

Before any of the big moments at Stonewall Golf Club —  before the vows, before Kyle saw Kavya walk in — there was this. Lace caught in a window light, quiet for about thirty seconds before the room filled up with people and noise and joy.

I always try to get this shot early, while the dress is still just hanging there, because you can actually see the handwork. The florals, the beading, the little details someone sat and stitched for hours that'll get covered by jewelry and a veil in ten minutes. This is the only time they're the main event.

If you're planning a fusion wedding and want photos that catch both the big emotional stuff AND the quiet craftsmanship, let's talk. Drop a comment or DM us — would love to hear about your dress.

That little pause right before the ring goes on — groom's eyebrows pulled together in concentration, trying to get it just right while everyone holds their breath. You can tell he's been thinking about this moment for a while. Kavya and Kyle's ceremony at Stonewall Golf Club had this gorgeous soft light pouring through the sheer curtains, and honestly the officiant's smile in the background made the whole thing feel even warmer.

Fusion weddings like this one are some of our favorite to shoot — two families, two backgrounds, one really beautiful day. If you're planning a cross-cultural celebration and want photos that capture all of it, send us a DM or hop on a consultation call with us.

The thing about fusion weddings is that the big moments get all the attention — the baraat, the lehenga changes, the reception entrance — but sometimes it's a detail this small that tells the whole story. Kavya's mehndi, still fresh from the days before, resting in Kyle's hand as they exchanged vows. Two families, two traditions, one morning that probably felt like a whirlwind to plan but looked like this when it mattered.

I live for these in-between frames. Planning a fusion celebration of your own? Send us a DM — we'd love to hear how you're blending your traditions.
