Whose wedding is it anyway, Hanna?

Okay many apologies for the delay in posting as we have had many things happening here at Regeti’s! Many exciting things to officially announce to include our new location! The Regeti’s are growing, our expansion proves it!

We have lots to blog about but tonight we are going to give the spot light to Josh and Shejal, one of the most happiest married couples we have had the pleasure of working with!

As many of us probably were watching the weather report together I am sure everyone knows that hurricane Hanna swept through the east coast and let me tell you that we were worried!!! Out of all the weddings that this could have happened to, it happened to Shejal and Josh who planned out just about everything possible with their wonderful coordinator Claudia Lutman to ensure a flawless affair, little did any of us realize that “God” above at any rate can not be purchased, the one little detail that we did not imagine could take place is a HURRICANE! Being in Baltimore and right near the Harbor the winds were ridiculous. Upon arriving to Shejal’s bridal suite at the Colonnade Inn you could see in her face that she was feeling a bit stressed and worried about the weather considering that their wedding was to take place under this beautiful massive tent at the Evergreen Museum and it was just pouring down non-stop. By the time we began taking group shots and formals it did however let up a bit until we arrived on site at Evergreen then another phase came in shortly after and calmed once more, just after Josh finished coming in and right before Shejal began to take her walk to meet Josh it began to pour for what was thankfully the very last time for that day! As the wind pounded back and forth on the side walls of the tent, I don’t think anyone really noticed as the two proceeded into a fused Hindu-Christian ceremony. Josh as he said his vows began to break as he briefly regrouped and carried on through to the end. Many would think that seeing a wedding almost every weekend out of the year would cause a person to become numb to their surroundings, however I think that we would beg to differ. We are so much aware of everything around us and the love that is so strong within the air that it almost could be bottled and labeled “love” as corny as that may sound. When they were announced and took on the dance floor it was like watching “High School Musical” they make such music together as you watched them dance in beat with one another as Josh lip sang the words and Shejal grooved along side of him. It was enough to make one put down the camera and grab the popcorn and soda pop and hope that they never stopped. These, ladies and gentlemen, are the moments we shoot for, these are the weddings that throw our own hearts into overdrive and inspire our own love to grow, so when some say that you can become numb to it… I think that it is safe to say that love is like wisteria it just grows so rapidly and can consume a person so much that it becomes more of a high, as wedding photographers that is addictive, we say bring it on!

Thanks to Shejal and Josh for entrusting us with the documentation for their wedding day and to Claudia Lutman for sending such an awesome referral our way!

    There is someone who greets the guests at almost every Hindu wedding we photograph before they ever see the bride or groom.

Lord Ganesha. ❤️

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, and after more than two decades of photographing Indian and fusion weddings, Ganesha has become one of those details we instinctively look for.

Sometimes he’s grand and surrounded by flowers. Sometimes he’s a small murti quietly placed near the ceremony entrance. But his presence means something: new beginnings, wisdom, prosperity and the removal of obstacles.

And what bigger new beginning is there than marriage?

For our Indian-American and fusion families, we also think there’s something important in this: traditions don’t have to remain frozen in time to remain meaningful.

Celebrate them. Explain them to your children. Let grandparents tell the stories. Blend traditions from both sides. Add the birthday cake if you want to! There is no cultural purity test your family needs to pass.

Tradition survives because we continue carrying it forward—even when the next generation carries it a little differently.

And a Regeti family fun fact? Ganesh isn’t our only birthday today. Our son Brijesh turns 24 while spending his birthday in Peru in the Peace Corps! ❤️

He also has medical school applications out there in the universe, so given Ganesha’s reputation for removing obstacles… we’re just saying, a little birthday favor would be perfectly timed. 😉🙏🏽

Happy 24th Birthday, Brijesh. We love you tremendously and are so proud of you.

And Happy Ganesh Chaturthi from our fusion family to yours.

Different paths. Beautiful together. ❤️
    And she's off! That train is doing ALL the talking. 😍 No one ever really sees the hours of hand-sewn lacework, the fittings, the careful steps down the aisle just to keep it perfect — but oh my goodness, when it unfolds like this? Pure statement piece. This is why we always hang back a beat before the ceremony starts — some of the best storytelling happens in the walk itself.

    There's a whole story happening in this one shot. Tara's hands are just resting there, but you can feel the anticipation in them — and meanwhile everything else around her is full throttle, last touches happening, the clock ticking down to "it's time." This is the kind of moment we live for as photographers... the quiet inside the chaos, right before it all begins.

    That look on their faces?! The anticipation is REAL as everyone waits on Tara to make her entrance. 😄 You can practically feel the countdown happening in this hallway — flower girls fussing with their dresses, the littlest ring bearer clutching his sippy cup like it's his most important job of the day, and one very serious best man giving us his best "are we doing this or what" face.

This is my favorite kind of chaos to photograph — the in-between moments right before the doors open, when a wedding party of tiny humans (and their very patient grownups) are doing everything they can to hold it together for just a few more minutes. Been shooting these hallway holding patterns for almost 20 years and they never get old.

What's your favorite pre-ceremony moment — the nerves, the giggles, or the "please don't cry" pep talks? Tell me below, or DM us to chat about capturing your own day. 👇 @tarab413

    Tara and Birju got married... and then got MOVING! 🏃‍♀️💨 Fresh off their Hindu ceremony (still glowing in those gorgeous floral garlands!), they had zero minutes to spare before jumping into their Christian ceremony next. Two beautiful traditions, one incredible day, and a timeline tighter than Birju's sherwani buttons!

This is exactly why we love fusion weddings — the joy, the family energy, the sheer logistics of pulling off two ceremonies in one day. Tara and Birju, you crushed it. 🙌

    The second it becomes official 😍 Birju's face here is EVERYTHING — so overwhelmed he couldn't even get his hand up, while Tara was already celebrating with the whole family cheering around them. LOVE IT!

Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do. Ready to capture yours? Send us a DM or book a consult with us! @tarab413

    The second the last phera ended, Tara obviously was given the intel about the sitting superstition — whoever sits down first "rules the household." You can see the exact moment it registers on her face 😂 Birju clearly wasn't messing around either, mid-scramble to beat her to the chair.

We love catching these split-second moments in between the more serious parts of the ceremony — the laughter, the teasing, the little cultural traditions passed down half-joking, half-serious. Tara embraced every bit of it, and it showed. This is exactly why we never put the cameras down between rituals. Comment below if you've heard of this tradition (or tried to win it at your own wedding) 👇 @tarab413

    Recap of Abigail + Corey's Wedding
    I know, I know — everyone wants candids these days, and we love those too. But look at this moment. Someone asked for this photo. Maybe it was mom. Maybe it was the bride herself, thinking ahead to the day this hangs above the fireplace.

Here's what decades of doing this has taught us: nobody remembers to ask for the posed shots in the moment. They're too busy living the day. That's our job — to know which ones matter before you do, and to make sure you have them when you're looking back in year 10, not just scrolling in year one. 

Whose photo like this do you still have hanging up? 

Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you're planning and want to talk through what shots matter most for your family.
