School is back in session!

Thank the Lord above! 3 of our 4 wonderful children are in school now and the house was quiet like never before as Bhavika our youngest was all alone! I don’t think she herself could beleive it! Needless to say we won’t play it tough…

Our oldest Brittney had her first day in Middle School today as we dropped her off and watched her run into the school almost all grown up just happy to be big finally! She was up and ready at 4:30am and did not have to be there till 7am! I can certainly remember being that age although I will have to say alot has certainly changed since then. As we attended 6th grade orientation and Brittney informs us of all the gossip that she has accumulated and taken in about the teachers at the new Middle School, let’s just say the kids have it down to a science when it comes to describing their teachers! I myself had to pull over to wipe my eyes dry before merging into the traffic. To see our little girl becoming independent is certainly alot to take in. We finally allowed her to cut off all her hair that was once down to her butt due to the advice of some of our Brides who were tourtured with the length of their hair growing up. They litterally begged us to let her cut it! Her appreciation and thanks goes out to you ladies 😉 To say the least her classmates were stunned when she showed up for class a bit lighter!

As for our little guys….

Bradley was just the cool rider with the attitude that he has been there done that and will now take care of his little brother as an older brother ought to do. Can’t you tell from just these shots!

Brijesh our littlest of men in the Regeti house was not ready and certainly not to spend the entire day with a stranger at that! He pouted and asked if we were going with him, went on to ask us if we were staying only to tell us that he simply wasn’t going without us. We were prepared and ready to be strong and listen to him cry as we walked away down the hall, however thankfully a good truck puzzle waiting at his desk did the trick!

The first day of the school year is officially over and the children are now home. And we as parents are looking forward to tomorrow!

    Regeti Kids are growing up so fast. Brittney does look different without her long hair. I am nearly sitting on mine now, and also have had long hair most of my life. Glad she likes it shorter.

    Bradley looks like a little man already. WOW!! Brijesh too, growing up fast. The teachers are smart to occupy the kids the first day when getting dropped off.

    Glad all went well and I am sure your ears were filled with the first day excitement.

Here’s the quiet truth no one tells guests before an Indian or Indian-American wedding:

You’re not just watching.
You’re participating.
Not with choreography or rituals — but with presence.

Indian weddings move differently.
They breathe differently.
They carry meaning in moments that don’t announce themselves.

When guests arrive expecting efficiency, cues, or constant explanation, tension builds — and the couple feels it.

What actually matters?
Respect.
Patience.
Openness.
That’s it.

This post isn’t about rules or etiquette.
It’s about showing up with curiosity instead of expectations — and why that one shift changes everything for the couple at the center of it all.

👉 Full blog is live (link in BIO)
👉 Especially worth sharing with non-Indian guests
👉 Brides: this is a great post to send before the wedding day

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.

Thanksgiving Eve feels extra tender this year.

Grateful for the families we were born into — and the families we’ve built through brides, grooms, parents, friends, vendors, and our SAWL community.

You’ve welcomed us like your own, and we carry that love every day.

A little note from our hearts is live on the blog, if you are into the sappy stuff!

Yesterday I shared Birju’s baraat as a reel — the color, the music, the movement.
But today, I’m sharing the meaning behind it.

There’s so much more to that moment than drums and dancing… and I felt called to write about it — about family, lineage, belonging, and what Indian-American communities represent in this country far beyond what meets the eye.

If you’ve ever looked at a baraat and wondered what you’re really witnessing — or if you believe America is at its best when we understand each other a little more — this one is worth reading.

It’s a story of culture, love, legacy… and why celebrations like this matter far more than most people realize.

Let me know your thoughts after reading — I’d love to hear how it lands for you.

Regeti Feature Friday ✨

Some Vidai's feel ceremonial…
and then there are Vidaiis like this.

Palak and her grandfather — a moment that says everything without a single word.
You could feel the attachment, the history, the love that only a grandparent carries.

Vidai isn’t just a goodbye.
It’s generations holding on… and letting go… all at once.

If you want storytellers who notice the moments that matter most, explore more at theregetis.com.

And join us at SAWL.life for deeper conversations around the South Asian wedding experience.

What makes a South Asian fusion wedding fusion?
Hint: It’s not just about skin tone or who’s marrying outside the culture.

Fusion happens when:
✨ Two Indian families speak different languages
✨ Two regional traditions meet under one mandap
✨ Two religions blend with respect
✨ Two American upbringings reinterpret cultural roots
✨ Two worlds — any worlds — choose love over labels

This is why we chose this niche.
Because fusion isn’t a buzzword.
It’s the lived experience of so many Indian-American couples navigating identity, culture, family, and love — all at once.

Today’s blog touches the real heart of fusion weddings, including:

✨ How wardrobe, rituals & food carry generational meaning
✨ Why family dynamics are the true fusion challenge
✨ What makes these weddings emotionally rich and unforgettable
If you’re planning a fusion or Indian-American wedding — or simply love seeing two worlds become one — this one is for you.
