Ritu and Rohin – 5.27.07!

by regeti5 comments

Indian weddings are always a fun affair as there is so much culture, family, friends, and food! Being an Indian-American couple ourselves it is like having the best of both worlds!

It never fails that when Srinu and I photograph an Indian wedding that it brings so many warm and loving memories back to us of our own. The emotion involved in such a ceremony can be quite intense as the culture really feels that it is merging two families as well as the couple, although this is understood in all cultures you can tell the presence of that vital portion of the wedding throughout the whole event as friends and family are bonding during the whole process.

Needless to say how proud their parents are to have raised two beautiful children to be successful in obtaining the dream of becoming Doctors. Just seeing them together is truly enough to know that they are a match made straight from the heavens destined to be together! We wish them all the best as they begin their journey on this already written path! Best wishes to our bride, groom and their families. And safe journeys to everyone traveling back home from this grand affair!

We had the opportunity to work with a few of our favorite vendors in the biz as well:
Laura Auer and the Soiree Team who are just always a pleasure and joy to work with on any occasion!

Tabitha and Tonya with Blue Sky Films as they are always very friendly and full of energy which really keeps everyone feeling so upbeat!

Rodney Pinion with Andre Chreky (the salon spa) for the beautiful hair and make-up (artisticly airbrushed) !

And we just happened to bump into the one and only Mr. Greg Gibson who was shooting another event held at the Sheraton yesterday as well. He is one of the best photojournalist that we have had the pleasure of ever meeting!

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 love how Himica before doing anything else looks around to acknowledge who all was present in the crowd. It was a sweet and kind gesture I felt as you could feel how important it was to her we were all there! 🥰

Because for those who might not know the song is about how beautiful his wife looks and how much he loves her. This photo sparks that kind of RAW emotion. Himica`s smile is one of such purity. I feel we were so lucky to be their chosen ones 📸

Amy Regeti

Caucasian married South Asian Indian, I've been in the Indian wedding industry for the last 20 years, author of "Married to India", a dual podcaster with SAWG and @TheRegetis, co-hosted alongside my husband Srinu, a blogger, personal wedding coach, wedding photographer, and mom of 5 - PHEW that was a lot - what if I said I have the power to compress time for you as a bride planning your Indian/Hindu wedding? Would you stick around, let me in, and include me as part of your journey? I believe that I do have the answers you are looking for and want to know. With a passion, purpose, and goal to help those starting as you venture into what I have made into a 20-year career, I cannot wait to meet all of you!

Things you'll find here will be related to South Asian Indian weddings, a market I feel wholeheartedly is underserved. The best part, I am NOT of Indian descent, but being respectfully culturally merged I have unique insight from both sides. I am here to spill all the wedding chai!

Brides, let’s be honest—most grooms don’t think about the getting ready process until the last minute! 🎩 Don’t let your wedding day start with missing shoes, wrinkled outfits, or forgotten accessories.
