Raj And Rajul Are Gonna Party In 2011!

Some brides pose. Alex raised her bouquet in the air like she`d just won something — because honestly, she had. This was right outside The Ritz-Carlton Washington DC, and it`s the kind of pure, unscripted joy we chase all day long. You can`t direct a moment like this, you can only be ready for it.

If this is the energy you want on your wedding day, let`s talk. Drop a comment or send us a DM to start planning your day with us.

Important or not important shot? 💍 We say important, every single time. This is the ring that says yes, the ring that gets passed around at dinner, the ring someone`s grandmother will ask to see up close. Years from now this tiny detail shot is going to matter just as much as the big ceremony photos — trust us on this one.

What`s the story behind your ring? Tell us in the comments, or DM us to chat about capturing yours. The Regeti`s love themselves some engagement stories👇

Not every day you get to shoot in the presidential suite! Alex and Jamie`s first look happened right on the terrace, with that gorgeous window light setting the mood before we headed down for bridal party portraits. Moments like this — quiet, just the two of them before the whirlwind of the day begins — are always my favorite to capture. There`s something about that first look that says everything words can`t.

Okay real talk — we styled this bouquet a few different ways during their couples photos and still can`t pick a favorite. Those white garden roses, the wispy astilbe, the little touches of Queen Anne`s lace... every angle told a different story. This is the kind of detail that gets swallowed up in the chaos of a real wedding day, which is exactly why we build time for it. Not a single pixel blown out in this shot — that`s skill, not luck. So if you`re after washed-out, overexposed light-and-airy shots, feel free to keep scrolling, no hard feelings.

Tell me in the comments — soft focus or fully bloomed? Or DM us if you`re planning your big day and want photos that catch these tiny gorgeous details too.

Alex was literally halfway out the door when we said "wait, get on that couch real quick." Two seconds in she realized lounging gracefully in a fitted gown is a lot harder than it looks in the movies 😂 But that`s the fun part of our job — catching the in-between moments, the laughs, the "wait how do I sit in this thing" moments. We got the shot, and honestly the memory behind it might be even better.

Got a big day coming up? Send us a DM or book a consult — we`d love to hear about it.

Fun fact: I have tied more bow ties than I can count. Getting ready rooms always need one extra set of hands, and somehow it ends up being me (yes, I tied Jamie`s too).

Was walking through a hotel lobby this past weekend and overheard a groomsman tell another one "Bet you can`t even tie a bow tie right on the first try!" Srinu and I just looked at each other, smiled, and stepped into the elevator like "but I can." Too bad we weren`t shooting their wedding... Anyone else have a hidden skill from years of wedding days? Tell me in the comments.

That fringe movement though. 😍 We got in close on these beadwork tassels and honestly, no one could have worn them better than our girl Alex, let`s just say STUNNING — every twist and shimmer catching the light just right. Details like this are exactly why we love zooming in on wedding day looks, because the craftsmanship deserves its own spotlight.

Dads need a little swag too! 🖤 Jamie`s dad could not stop grinning when he found out his jacket had been custom-tagged just for him — that "proud Daddy moment" written right into the lining. Little details like this are exactly why we keep our cameras ready during getting-ready time... you never know what sweet surprise is about to happen.

There aren`t really words for what Alex`s face says in this moment — that`s a whole lifetime with her dad wrapped up in one look. Moments like this are exactly why we linger a beat longer than we probably need to, camera up, just waiting. We`ve been doing this a long time and it still gets us every single time.

Being trusted to be someone`s eyes and ears on a day this big? That`s not something we take lightly, ever. It`s the whole reason we show up and give everything we`ve got, every single event.

If you want photographers who actually feel your day with you, not just document it — let`s talk. Drop a comment or DM us to start planning yours.

Alex and Jamie`s wedding day started with this gorgeous flat lay at the Ritz Carlton in DC — Jimmy Choos, the invitation suite, those rings tucked into red boxes that just pop against the marble. Planner Sara with SM Events pulled together every little piece so beautifully.

Honestly, we`ve been photographing details like this for almost two decades, and how couples want them captured has changed so much. Rings on a book, shoes in a window, invites styled with flowers — it`s become its own art form. We always wonder: are couples looking back at these images years later and still loving how their day was told? We think that`s the real test. Tell us in the comments — what detail from your wedding day means the most to you now?

Going back through years of galleries, you find things you forgot were even there. This one stopped me cold. That`s Radha, feeding me cake like I was one of her own kids at this wedding - she would not let me walk away without eating it. This is the same woman who used to send me home with fresh baked bread and chocolate chip cookies for my kids, they would refer to her as the "Chocolate Chip Auntie." We photographed both of her sons` weddings and more family celebrations than I can count. Her home always felt like ours the second we walked in.

Radha passed away, and finding this photo again just about broke my heart. Her smile, her hugs, her hot bread and warm cookies - we will never forget any of it. To her children, Shalini, Sharad and Nitin - we love you guys, and so much of her lives on in you. If you`re building a family of your own around your wedding day, come talk to us - drop a comment or send us a DM. These are the relationships and friendships we hope to build with every family that entrusts us to capture theirs.

Twenty years of shooting South Asian weddings taught us this: the good stuff never happens in just one place. While I caught the groom`s face going soft during the reading of his personally written vows, Srinu was catching the bride wiping her eyes with her mehndi-covered hand on the other side as she took in every word of his written vows to her. Neither of us could`ve gotten both. That`s the whole point of having two photographers — not more photos, but no gaps in the story. And most importantly both of us knowing where to stand enabling the other to have a clear shot.

These two moments happened seconds apart, feet away from each other, and if it had just been one of us there, one of them would be gone forever. That`s not something we`re willing to risk on your wedding day. Comment `TEAM` if you want to know how we cover ceremonies like this, or DM us to talk about your date.

That moment when the dance floor is so packed you can barely see where one family ends and another begins — that`s the good stuff. Some couples go big with a vidai and sparklers, some just want everyone dancing until the DJ turns the lights on. Both are beautiful, both are memories, and we`ve shot every version in between.

How do YOU picture your last dance of the night? Tell us in the comments, or DM us to start planning how you want the moments that`ll matter most to you captured in an authentic unobtrusive way. 💃🕺

This is the kind of moment that doesn`t age. Twenty years from now, this image won`t feel dated — the lehenga, the lighting, none of that is the point. It`s what`s written on her face right here: pure, forget-there-are-300-people-in-the-room joy as she allows him to lead their first dance as husband and wife. That`s the part that lasts.

We love catching these split seconds during grand entrances because they`re never posed, never repeated. Tell us in the comments — what was your entrance moment like? Or DM us if you`re planning yours and want it captured just like this.

B&W or color — which one stops your scroll? 🖤 This candid caught her mid-smile, hands still wrapped in fresh mehndi, FOB softly blurred in the background like he`s not even trying to steal focus (he will, later with his heartfelt speech). We strategically place a number of curated images in black and white for moments like this because it strips away the color and leaves just... her. The expression. The nerves and joy tangled together right before everything changes.

Here`s the thing about Indian weddings — you get multiple days to have it both ways. I personally think keeping your ceremony look classic and timeless, then let your sangeet or reception go as trendy as you want - you`ll never regret that choice. You don`t have to choose once. You get to choose again and again all weekend long. So tell us — team black & white, or team color? Drop your vote below, or DM us if you`re planning your own weekend of moments like this one.

What time is it? Party time! Tighten up that Windsor knot, thread the cufflinks, notch the belt, and lace up those freshly shined shoes 🖤⌚

Details like this watch are the quiet flex of the whole groom prep routine — the one thing he picked out himself while everyone else fussed over the sherwani. We love catching these small, sharp moments before the party ignites and before you know it this jacket and tie are history - literally, but don`t worry, The Regeti`s got you!

Getting married soon and want your groom`s details captured just as beautifully as the bride`s? Drop a comment or DM us to chat!

Quick myth-bust for you: does the groom always lead the pheras? Nope! Around that sacred fire, who walks first actually comes down to regional customs and family tradition — sometimes the groom leads the first few rounds, sometimes the bride does, and it can shift depending on whether the family follows Saptapadi (7 rounds) or Mangal Fera (4 rounds). Look closely next time and you`ll catch these little differences everywhere.

We could just post pretty photos with one throwaway line underneath, but that`s not really us — we`d rather you actually learn something about the traditions we get to witness. If that sounds like your kind of page, stick around and follow along. And if you`re planning your own ceremony and want a team that actually knows the difference between a Saptapadi and a Mangal Fera, send us a DM — we`d love to chat.

Am I the only one who watches for this? Every single bride has this one moment under the four pillars where she just... drifts. Eyes down, hands still, somewhere else entirely for a few seconds. I always wonder what`s running through her mind right there.

If you`re a bride who remembers that exact feeling and you`re willing to tell me what you were thinking, I would love to hear it. Drop it in the comments or DM me — we love to collect all these little stories.
