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!

As wedding photographers, we know photographs like this don’t happen because someone wears a beautiful outfit.

They happen because dozens of people create the conditions for a moment to unfold naturally, and then a photographer has the awareness to recognize it before it disappears.

The planner creates space.

The stylist creates harmony.

The makeup artist prepares confidence.

The family creates context.

The couple brings emotion.

And the photographer turns all of it into memory.

So while the world is admiring Rashmika’s veil—and rightfully so—I also want to acknowledge the artist who helped the world see it.Because photographs that make millions of people stop scrolling are rarely accidents.

They are the result of preparation, trust, collaboration, and an artist who knows exactly when to press the shutter.

Congratulations to @lonavbharali on the capture alongside:

In the middle of everything—
the movement, the music, the energy before the ceremony begins—
there’s a moment where it all quiets.
Ardaas.
Heads covered.
Hands folded.
Space that was just full of celebration…
now grounded in stillness.
It’s not loud.
It’s not for show.
It’s a moment of humility.
Of gratitude.
Of asking for guidance before stepping into something bigger than yourself.
And no matter how many weddings we’ve witnessed…
this part never feels routine.
Because you can feel it. #SouthAsianWeddings #IndianWeddings #PunjabiWedding #SikhWedding

There’s a moment right before everything begins…
where nothing is happening on the outside—
but everything is shifting underneath it.
Families gathering.
Expectations settling in.
Emotions no one quite knows how to name.
You can feel it in the way people stand a little closer.
In the way conversations soften.
In the quiet glances exchanged between the ones who understand what this day really means.
This isn’t just waiting.
This is the threshold.
The space between what was…
and everything that’s about to change.
And if you’re not paying attention—
you’ll miss it.
But if you are…
this is where the story actually begins.

Two mothers.
Meeting in the middle of everything that brought them here.
Different paths.
Different traditions.
The same reason.
Because at some point…
it stops being about how it’s done—
and becomes about who it’s for.
This is what a wedding holds beneath it all.
Not just a union…
but a quiet understanding that love is bigger than everything else. #SouthAsianWeddings #IndianWeddingCeremony #FusionWedding

Weddings like this aren’t just about the couple.
They’re about everyone who brought them here.
The parents who carried the weight quietly.
The grandparents who’ve been waiting to witness this moment.
The siblings, the laughter, the history standing just a few steps away.
This is why how your wedding is photographed matters.
Because it’s not just your story being told…
it’s theirs too.
What we create is meant to be felt across generations —
images your family connects to,
and ones you return to years later and still feel.
For us, this has never been just about photography.
It’s about understanding people.
Listening.
Knowing when to step in… and when to disappear.
After 26 years together, and years of documenting weddings side by side,
that part comes naturally.
If you’re looking for something that feels real,
something your whole family will appreciate —
we’d love to hear what you’re planning.#SouthAsianWeddings #IndianWeddingCeremony #HinduWedding

There’s a moment… right before everything begins.
Before the music shifts.
Before the entrance.
Before all eyes turn in one direction.
It’s the waiting.
Holding what’s been prepared.
Standing beside the people who matter most.
Feeling the weight of what’s about to unfold — without saying a word.
You’ll see smiles like this…
but there’s so much more happening underneath.
Anticipation.
Pride.
A quiet kind of emotion that doesn’t ask for attention — but deserves to be remembered.
And these are the moments we pay attention to.
Not just the grand entrance…
but everything that leads up to it.
Because that’s where the story really begins.
If you’re planning a day filled with meaning — not just moments —
we’d love to hear what you’re envisioning. #SouthAsianWeddings #IndianWeddingCeremony #HinduWedding

The soft chime of a bell…
it’s one of the first things you hear as you enter a Hindu ceremony.
Not loud.
Not demanding.
Just enough to shift something within you.
It’s said to quiet the mind…
to bring presence into the space…
to mark that what’s about to unfold isn’t just an event — it’s something deeper.
And what we’ve come to love most isn’t just the tradition itself…
…it’s watching our brides carry it forward.
Some grew up surrounded by it.
Some are rediscovering it.
Some are learning it for the first time.
But in that moment —
as they step into the mandap,
as the bell rings softly in the background —
there’s a quiet connection to something bigger than the day itself.
Not forced.
Not performative.
Just… felt.
That’s the beauty of it.
Traditions like this don’t disappear.
They evolve, they travel, they live on —
through the people who choose to hold onto them in their own way.
And getting to witness that…
never feels ordinary.
If you’re planning a wedding that honors where you come from and who you are now,
we’d love to hear your story 🤍#SouthAsianWeddings #IndianWeddingCeremony #HinduWedding #MandapMoments

Not every moment is soft.
Not every presence is quiet.
Some walk in and shift the room without saying a word.
The confidence.
The way she carries it.
The way the fabric moves like it knows it’s being watched.
This isn’t about stealing attention…
it’s about owning your place in the story.
Because weddings aren’t just about two people.
They’re about the energy every person brings into it —
the sisters, the friends, the ones who show up fully as themselves.
And these are the moments we look for too.
Not just the expected…
but the ones that feel a little editorial, a little bold, a little unforgettable.
If you’re building a wedding that holds space for all of that —
we see it, and we know exactly how to capture it.
2027 is already taking shape.

There’s a difference between decor that looks good…
and decor that feels like something.
The depth of these tones.
The layering of texture.
The way everything fans outward—intentionally, almost like it’s unfolding.
It doesn’t just fill a space.
It creates one.
—
Because when your wedding design is done right…
it doesn’t just sit in the background.
It shapes the entire experience.
The way your guests walk in.
The way your moments are held.
The way your memories will look—years from now.
—
And this is where it matters.
Not just what you choose…
but how you want it to be remembered.
Soft and romantic?
Bold and layered?
Refined, textured, intentional?
—
We don’t just photograph what’s there.
We pay attention to what you’re trying to create
so that when you look back—
it still feels exactly the way it did in that moment.
—
If you’re already thinking about your colors, your textures, your vision…
we want to hear it.
Because the right weddings for us—
are the ones where intention runs deep.
2027 is already beginning to take shape.
