Halloween 2009: Why is everyone calling me “Dorothy” ?

Many of our curious clients are just dying to see… as they ask “What will the Regeti’s kids be?” This year we left the neighborhood for a much needed get-a-way and went to see Mumum, Nanny and Pop-Pop for Halloween! They tend to get all crazy and dress up, Nanny most often as a “Witch” and Pop-Pop the “Great Magician” always stealing the show! Bhavika (Dorothy below.) was so adorable as she kept coming back saying to us “Why is everyone calling me Dorothy?” it was so cute to hear her say that because she has only seen the “Wizard of Oz” maybe 2 times in her whole 5 years of life. Unfortunately, for us this may be our last year to really be able to sway her as to what to dress up as before she determines it on her own. These days as we watch our children grow like weeds and all the time slip away from us we cannot help but try to absorb all the moments we possibly can, one of them being “Halloween, Trick-or-Treating”. After being at the studio this morning from 9-12pm with our studio “BOO! WHO ARE YOU!” sessions we were ready to come home and start the day with our little ones.

This is a poem we wrote for our kids hoping that once they are grown and go back through the blog to reflect they will be able to know how very much we love every single moment we have had as their parents:

Quickly these days are going to fade,
while new ones are made.
Eager to watch our little ones grow,
saddened when it starts to show.

As their light begins to shine so bright,
we as parents will always long for just one more night.
The pleasant greeting in the mornings and afternoons,
once they arrive home from school,
eager to share their knowledge from the day.

One day right after the other soon it is that we discover,
it is us as parents who will undyingly love each one of them
forever.

With All of Our Love Together,
Mom and Dad (Amy and Srinu Regeti 10/31/09)

We hope you enjoy some of our shots from this year’s Halloween, hope everyone had a wonderful evening!

The little details before the big moments — a puja thali dressed in red and gold, coins for blessings, and a single dollar bill tucked in for prosperity. These quiet setups happen before most guests even arrive, and honestly? They're some of our favorite things to photograph. Every fold of cloth and placement of fruit carries meaning passed down through generations. ✨

If you're planning a South Asian or fusion wedding and want a team that notices (and honors) these details, we'd love to chat. Drop a comment or DM us to book your consultation!

That look back over the shoulder? We live for it. 🌿 This bride's sage green saree paired with her tikka and that soft veil catching the breeze was such a gorgeous moment right before things got going — quiet, radiant, ready. There's something so special about capturing brides in these in-between moments, before the mandap, before the crowd, when it's just them and their reflection.

We get to witness so many beautiful cultural details in our work, and this soft palette against all that greenery is one of our favorite combinations. If you're planning a South Asian or fusion wedding and want photos that feel this personal, we'd love to chat — DM us or drop a comment below!

There is something incredibly special about spending a quiet weekend morning with a couple before the rush of wedding day begins.

No timelines.
No guests waiting.
No pressure.

Just the two of them walking through the streets of Georgetown, holding hands along the waterfront, laughing, talking, and slowly settling into the comfort of being photographed together.

What our couples may not always realize is how much this time means to us, too.

Engagement sessions are not just about creating beautiful images. They are about connection. Trust. Conversation. Learning how two people love each other, how they found one another, what matters to them, what makes them laugh, and what kind of life they are building together.

And this reel felt even more meaningful because the song used here was created exclusively for them.

Srinu and I produced it together after spending time with them, listening to pieces of their story, and learning more about who they are as a couple. We wanted the music to feel personal, emotional, and true to them — not just something placed over their images, but something created from the experience of being with them.

The song is called:

“Pyaar Dosti Hai”
प्यार दोस्ती है

Love is friendship.

And truly, isn’t that the heart of it?

The kind of love that lasts is not only built on romance. It is built on friendship. On safety. On understanding. On quiet loyalty. On choosing someone who becomes your calm place, your steady hand, your closest companion, and your home.

To our beautiful couple, thank you for allowing us into this small but meaningful piece of your story. The honor and privilege were entirely ours.

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.

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
