And the winner for “Best Social Photography” is…

The Regeti’s! We almost did not believe it! Honestly we were not preparing in any way for a win as we were just honored to receive 2 nominations on our first try, none the less to take home an award for “Best Social Photography”!

When I went up to accept the award it was like I had so much I wanted to say and a few really important people to thank, but that went out the window as the emotions just over took me. Once they said our name and I was up there it became so surreal! Srinu and I have watched ISES for a good 3-4 years and honestly never joined because of the commitment it involves with attending and the awesome and talented individuals that are so very active within the organization, we wanted to be sure that we were worthy of playing in the big leagues 😉 . Then it was decided a year ago to date that we were just going to do it! And we did… we have never felt so welcomed in a group before … and to think… Why were we so scared? We truly feel that we are part of something special, powerful and most of all great!

Now for what I really wanted to say before my emotions got the best of me!

First and foremost to Srinu… the man who has brought so much not only to my life, but out of me. He is my cushion to every fall, he is my strength when I need it the most. It is fortunate for the two of us that together we are able to make such wonderful magic. For that we both thank the Lord above. Not only is he my husband and the father to our wonderful children, he is my very best friend. Without him my soul would forever be searching… I love you will all of my being!

To Terri Perry our dearest friend… for always keeping us focused, grounded and reminding us all the time that what we do has purpose and meaning and not to forget it! Night or day your always there and we just want you to know that it is appreciated in so many ways. To her hubby “Big Al” for sharing her when he certainly could keep her all for himself! And for proofing all our binders on such short notice! We love you both dearly!

To our team here at RP for cheering and rooting for us! For having faith in what we represent as a brand and for loving our business as much as we do. You guys are awesome and we could not have chose a better staff!

To MIkel and David and ALL the rest of our clients for just being you and allowing us in on the most important day of your lives to document and preserve memories that will forever be a part of who you are. It is with great pleasure that we serve all of you!

And for everyone else out there reading right now, you know who you are! For loving us, supporting us and helping to guide us… you are always close to our hearts!

For those of you curious, here are some shots that our Associate Ben took of us before we left and of course the award!

We’re not looking for more weddings in 2027.
We’re looking for the right ones.
The couples who don’t stand back and watch their reception—
they are the reason it moves.
The ones who pull people in.
Who don’t hesitate.
Who don’t perform for the camera—
because they’re too busy living every second of it.
Because this part of the night?
It exposes everything.
Your energy.
Your people.
Your relationships.
And here’s the truth most won’t say—
if your photography team can’t keep up with this…
can’t anticipate it…
can’t move inside it without missing—
you don’t just lose images.
You lose the feeling of your wedding.
And that’s the part you can never recreate.
We don’t document weddings like this.
We stay ahead of them.
We see it before it happens.
We position for it before it unfolds.
That’s why our couples don’t just get photos—
they get their wedding back, exactly as it felt.
2027 is already being filled with couples who understand this.
When it’s full, it’s closed.
If you see yourself here—
secure your date before someone else does.

Most wedding timelines fail here.
Not because there isn’t enough time.
Because no one protects it.
This part of the day—
where it’s just the two of you, away from everything—
is usually treated as optional.
It’s not.
Because this is the only time your wedding actually slows down.
No guests.
No expectations.
No one pulling you in ten different directions.
Just you…
standing in it, together.
And here’s the truth:
If this time isn’t intentionally built in—
it doesn’t happen.
And if it doesn’t happen—
you don’t just lose photos.
You lose the only part of the day
where you actually felt present in it.
This is where editorial comes in.
Not forced.
Not over-posed.
Not pulled from a Pinterest board.
But guided, intentional space
where you can breathe…
connect…
and be seen the way you actually are.
Anyone can photograph a wedding day.
Very few know how to create space within it.
And that space?
That’s where the images you come back to live.
If you’re planning your timeline—
this is the part you don’t skip.

Most couples underestimate how much this part matters.
Not the ceremony.
Not the crowd.
This.
The quiet.
The space where it’s just the two of you—
no expectations, no performance, no noise.
And here’s the truth most people don’t realize until after:
If this isn’t documented right…
it disappears.
Because moments like this don’t repeat themselves.
They don’t get announced.
They don’t get recreated.
They happen once—
and only if someone knows how to see them.
Anyone can photograph what’s loud.
Very few know how to capture what’s felt.
The stillness.
The connection.
The way you exist together when no one’s watching.
And if your photographer doesn’t understand that—
you’ll have a gallery full of everything…
except the moments that actually meant the most.
This isn’t about posing.
It’s about presence.
And not every team knows the difference.
If you do—
you already know what you’re looking for.

There’s a moment that tells you everything you need to know about a man.
And it’s not during the vows.
It’s this.
When he bends.
Not out of obligation—
but out of respect.
In many South Asian weddings, touching the feet of elders is a gesture of seeking blessings.
But what it really reveals is something deeper.
Humility.
Upbringing.
Character.
Because in a day filled with celebration, attention, and ego—
this is the moment where he lowers himself.
And the people who raised him place their hands over his head…
not just to bless the marriage—
but to affirm the man he has become.
If this matters to you—
not just how your partner looks, but who they are at their core—
then you understand why moments like this matter.
They’re not staged.
They’re not prompted.
They’re earned.
And they happen in seconds.
That’s why they can’t be missed.

She’s not the bride. 💐
But she’s not just a guest either.
In many South Asian weddings, the groom’s sister holds a place that isn’t always announced… but is deeply felt.
She’s the bridge between what was… and what’s about to be.
The one who grew up with him.
The one who knows who he was before anyone else did.
The one who watched him become the man standing at the mandap.
And now… she’s watching someone else step into his life in a way she never could.
There’s pride in that.
There’s joy in that.
And if we’re being honest… there’s emotion in that too.
Because while everyone celebrates the couple…
she’s quietly processing a shift of her own.
Not loss.
But change.
A new role.
A new dynamic.
A new relationship forming right in front of her.
And in moments like this — laughter spilling out, surrounded by family, fully present — you can feel it.
She’s happy.
She’s proud.
She’s all in.
But she also knows…
Things will never be exactly the same again.
And that’s okay.
Because this is how families grow. 🌺

Most people will scroll past this and see a beautiful moment.💫
We see something else entirely.
A father standing in front of his daughter… not losing her, not letting go of her… but quietly acknowledging who she has become.
There’s no performance here.
No audience.
No expectation.
Just pride.
Just love.❤️
Just a man looking at the life he helped raise… now ready to step into her own.
This is where we’ve always felt different in this industry.
Because while many chase the perfect image…
the most “shareable” wedding…
the most “worthy” event…
we’ve never been able to see weddings that way.
Every single one matters.
Not because of the budget.
Not because of the decor.
Not because of how it will look on a feed.
But because of moments like this — ones that don’t need validation to hold weight.
We didn’t start this for status.
We didn’t build this for highlight reels. As a matter of fact you won`t even see many here because time doesn`t permit during our days working our hardest to be present for them - the family.
We built this because we genuinely care about what these days mean to the people living them.
And the truth is…
if this moment doesn’t move you — even just a little — then we’re probably not your photographers.
But if it does…
If you’re looking for someone who will walk into your wedding not as a vendor, but as someone who sees your family the way you do…
Then we should talk.
Because these are the moments we protect.
Not just the ones the world claps for —
but the ones that quietly stay with you for the rest of your life.

There’s a moment most brides don’t plan for.
And almost no one talks about.
It’s not the grand entrance.
Not the music.
Not the rituals.
It’s this.
The quiet.
Before the timelines take over.
Before the voices fill the room.
Before the expectations begin to pull in every direction.
Just you.
Sitting with what’s about to unfold.
Your hands steady… but your mind moving.
Your heart catching up to the reality of the day.
Because once it starts—
it doesn’t slow down.
And this small, almost invisible pocket of time…
is often the only moment that truly belongs to you.
We always look for this.
Not the staged version of a wedding day—
but the honest one.
The pause before the poetry.
The breath before the noise.
Because years from now,
this is the feeling you’ll remember most.
—
If you’re planning a South Asian or fusion wedding…
and want your story captured beyond just the events—
we’d love to be part of it.

One of the greatest gifts of wedding photography isn’t the portrait.
It’s the laughter.
The kind that happens when you’re surrounded by the people who raised you, grew up with you, and walked beside you long before the wedding day ever arrived.
These are the moments we love documenting most.
The bride and groom sitting together, soaking it all in.
Family members laughing in the background.
Friends cheering, clapping, reacting to performances and speeches.
Because years from now, when the outfits are packed away and the decorations are long gone…
what people remember most is how it felt.
The joy.
The excitement.
The energy in the room.
And those feelings become even more meaningful as time passes. As life moves forward and laugh lines deepen, these photographs become reminders of a moment when everyone you loved was gathered in one place, celebrating something beautiful together.
That’s the responsibility we feel every time we photograph a wedding.
Not just to document what it looked like…
but to preserve what it felt like to be there.
That’s also why working as a husband and wife team matters so much to us. After nearly two decades of photographing weddings together, we’ve learned how to anticipate the emotional moments before they even happen.
The quiet glance.
The burst of laughter.
The reactions happening all around the couple.
Because those moments?
They’re the ones that matter most when the years go by.

This is where the night begins.
Up on the rooftop, overlooking the ocean, the stage is set for one of the most energetic celebrations of the entire wedding week — the Mehndi & Sangeet.
Colorful lanterns strung across the sky.
Music about to fill the air.
Friends and family slowly gathering around tables that won’t stay quiet for long.
If you’ve never experienced a South Asian Sangeet, imagine this:
Part family reunion.
Part dance competition.
Part emotional tribute to the couple.
And part absolute party.
Parents rehearse dances for weeks.
Siblings secretly plan surprise performances.
Friends coordinate choreography they swear they only practiced once.
And somehow, when the music starts, the entire night turns into one long celebration of two families coming together.
But before the first song plays…
there’s this moment.
The calm setup.
The lanterns swaying in the ocean breeze.
The quiet anticipation of what’s about to unfold.
Because very soon…
this rooftop will be packed, the speakers will be booming, and nobody will be sitting in those chairs.
✨ Question for you:
At a Sangeet… are you the one performing, or the one cheering from the sidelines?

Because very soon… this rooftop will be packed, the speakers will be booming, and nobody will be sitting in those chairs. ✨ Question for you: At a Sangeet… are you the one performing, or the one cheering from the sidelines? — #SouthAsianWeddings #IndianDestinationWedding #SangeetNight #MehndiSangeet #IndianWeddingMexico #MoonPalaceMexico #DestinationIndianWedding #DesiWedding #SouthAsianBride #LuxuryIndianWedding #IndianWeddingPhotographer #SouthAsianWeddingPhotographer #WeddingPhotographersInVirginia #IndianWeddingPhotographersInVirginia #DestinationWeddingPhotographer #FusionWedding #IndianWeddingInspiration

There’s something quietly powerful about this moment.
No crowd.
No music.
No choreography.
Just two people standing close enough to feel the shift that’s about to change their lives forever.
Before the ceremonies begin… before the families gather around the mandap… before the noise and celebration take over the day… there is always a moment like this.
A breath.
A glance.
A small pause where the bride and groom remember why all of this is happening in the first place.
What we love about photographing South Asian weddings is that beneath the color, the scale, and the incredible traditions… there are always these soft moments hiding in between everything else.
Moments where the bride isn’t performing for the celebration.
She’s just being herself.
And the groom is quietly realizing that this woman — standing in front of him, wearing henna that tells a story of family and tradition — is about to become his partner for the rest of his life.
These are the frames that matter most to us.
Not the ones that simply show what the wedding looked like…
…but the ones that remind you how it felt.

Mexico has a way of turning light into something magical.
Just after a passing rain shower, the air became heavy with mist — the kind that softens everything it touches. The sky cleared, the sun pushed through the clouds, and suddenly the entire courtyard was glowing.
For a few quiet minutes before the Mehndi and Sangeet began, the world slowed down.
The light caught the movement of her lehenga.
The air still carried the scent of rain.
And the atmosphere felt almost cinematic — warm, dreamy, and completely unplanned.
Destination weddings are full of moments like this.
You can plan the music.
You can plan the decor.
You can plan the timeline.
But sometimes the most beautiful scenes are the ones nature decides to create for you.
The mist after the rain.
The sunlight cutting through it.
A quiet spin before the celebration begins.
Mexico doesn’t just host weddings.
It sets the mood for them.
✨ Tell us below:
Do you love portraits in golden sun or after-the-rain mist like this?

Sometimes the sky sets the stage before the celebration even begins.
Just before the Mehndi and Sangeet festivities kicked off, the sky over Mexico decided to put on its own performance.
Soft clouds.
Warm evening light.
Palm trees swaying quietly over the ocean.
If you’ve ever photographed destination weddings, you learn quickly that nature has a way of becoming part of the story. And in places like this, the sky almost feels like it’s participating in the celebration.
Because moments like this are the calm before the real magic begins.
Soon the music will start.
The dance floor will fill.
Henna will be drying on hands while families laugh, sing, and celebrate.
But right here — in this quiet pause between the day and the night — you can feel the anticipation building.
The sky softens.
The light turns golden.
And everyone knows the celebration is about to begin.
Mexico skies never lie.
✨ Tell us:
Do you prefer a sunset Mehndi or a nighttime Sangeet under the lights?
