10 of 25: Sara and Kevin @ Four Seasons in Georgetown

Kevin and Sara are both Dentists, Kevin in General Dentistry and Sara with a specialization in Pediatric Dentistry. The bright whites say it all!

I was on my way out to an ISES DC Board Meeting one day when I received the call from this amazing bubbly young lady named Sara. The moment I answered the phone her entire focus was on making an appointment to bring her fiance, Mother, Father and Sister out to meet with us to talk about her fabulous wedding and how extremely important their photos were to them.

Kevin was the quiet one as with many of our Regeti Groom’s although not all of them entirely, we do get a few into the studio that know and feel that they are certainly just as important and needed on the wedding day as the Bride.

But once again another Bride stole our heart and ran with it and we followed her out to the Cherry Blossoms on Easter morning to do her photos! Note that “The Regeti’s” haven’t ventured to the Cherry Blossoms since 2006 as we truly try to sway our clients from the blossoms as the focus is really on them and not their surroundings during our sessions. But Sara was set on the blossoms and I just could not tell her “No way!”. So as we were driving back into town that morning from a wedding in Jersey the night before we were able to spend what turned out to be an amazing evening with the two of them. Sara is very sharp, witty and full of charm there is much to love about her. Kevin is super smart, dedicated and those dimples I bet have broken some hearts!

You two as your careers bring you back to the Metro area please stay in touch, a little lunch with some old friends would serve you both well. Time is going to fly and you will be back in town before you two know it, we will await the telephone call!

XOXOXO
Amy and Srinu

I just have to do it… I promised to only post one image per post, but I honestly have two that are in a dead tie for her wedding. I CANNOT pick between them as they both include the two most important men in Sara’s life. I have to admit that I myself adore them as well. So here they are my 2 FAVORITES!

There is no explanation needed, her Daddy just adores and loves her that much…

That look right after the jaimala goes on — you can see it here. Garlands still settling, and they`re already stealing a glance like nobody else is on that sidewalk. This is one of my favorite in-between moments to catch because it`s not posed, it`s not planned, it`s just two people who can`t help but smile at each other.



Fusion weddings like this one are so special to shoot — two families, two traditions, blending into one really beautiful day. If you`re planning a wedding that mixes cultures (or doesn`t fit in a box), let`s talk about how we`d tell your story. Comment or DM us!

They’re not just sticking a colorful piece of wood into the ground. And this may be one of my favorite examples of how much meaning can hide inside a Gujarati wedding.



If you’ve grown up around Gujarati weddings, you may have seen some version of this ritual your entire life.



The decorated post is associated with the Manek Stambh and Mandap Ropan / Mandap Muhurat — the ceremonial establishing of the mandap before the wedding.



Before it is placed into the earth, the post may be wrapped with sacred thread and blessed as part of the family’s ritual. Then it is carried outside and planted into the ground.



But here’s the part I love:



Before we build the place where two people will be married, we acknowledge the earth upon which it will stand.



The Manek Stambh becomes more than a little wooden post. It represents the establishment of the mandap — the sacred space beneath which a new marriage will begin.



And depending upon the family, region and Gujarati community, the customs surrounding it may look a little different. That’s something I’ve learned after more than two decades of photographing South Asian families: there is rarely just one Indian way of doing anything.



Sometimes even the bride or groom knows what their family does because they’ve watched their parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles do it their entire lives…



…but they’ve never actually been told why.



That’s the part that gets me.



Because one day, someone is going to look at photographs like this and ask:



“What were they doing here?”



And I don’t want the answer to simply be, “Oh, that was something we did before the wedding.”



I want someone to remember.



The name.

The reason.

Who held it.

Who tied the thread.

Who taught them how to do it.



Because somewhere between tradition being practiced and tradition being explained is where legacy either gets passed down—or quietly disappears.



And THAT is why we photograph the little things. 🤍

The gasp. The hands flying up. The one friend who literally cannot keep it together. THIS is what we live for.



There`s something so pure about the moment a bride`s crew sees her for the first time, all dressed up, before anyone else does. Coordinated olive sharara sets, then that red and gold lehenga glowing against them as she walks in — it`s real, it`s unscripted, and it happens exactly once. We just have to be standing in the right spot to catch it.



Who would you want to see you first — your person, your parents, or your crew? Tell us below, and if you`re planning a day full of moments like this, DM us to chat.

Madhu is ready to get this baraat started - nothing like a morning baraat to really get you moving! There`s something so joyful about a daytime baraat - the sun`s out, the dhol is going, and the groom is dancing his way to the mandap surrounded by the people who`ve known him his whole life. That arms-wide, head-back energy? For some it might be McDonald`s but for us --- t`s why we wakeup early in the morning on the weekends.



If you`re planning a baraat and want photos that capture the actual joy (not just posed smiles), let`s talk. DM us or drop a comment below!

There will always be a place for a macro lens in our bag. 😍 These are the bride`s bangles, and in Indian culture, they carry so much meaning — often gifted by family, symbolizing blessings, prosperity, and the beginning of a new chapter. Getting close enough to catch every sparkle and reflection like this is one of our favorite parts of wedding day details.

That view, though. Shatakshi and Madhu chose the Omni in Hot Springs, VA for their sangeet celebrations, and honestly, those mountains rolling out behind the property? Chef`s kiss. There`s something about getting a little distance from the everyday that makes a sangeet weekend feel even more special — everyone`s there, phones are (mostly) down, and it`s just family, dancing, and stories.

We love when a venue becomes part of the celebration instead of just a backdrop. Got a mountain wedding or sangeet in the works? Drop a comment or DM us — we`d love to hear about it.

There`s a very short list of moments that can rival a mother`s joy on her daughter`s wedding weekend — and this forehead-to-forehead hug is definitely on it. Maybe her birthday gives it a run for its money, but honestly? I`m not so sure. The way she cupped her Mom`s face just as Mom was getting emotional, mehndi and all, said everything words couldn`t.



Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do, why we want to be present for you and YOUR family. Have a mother-daughter moment from your wedding you`ll never forget? Tell us about it in the comments, or DM us to chat about capturing yours.

Okay, we said it. Somebody had to.



After 20 years and more weddings than we can count, here`s what we`ve learned: the couples we click with best aren`t chasing trends or a perfectly styled feed — they want photos that still mean something at their 25th anniversary, when grandparents aren`t in the room anymore and that mandap is the only place they still "are." If that`s not you, no hard feelings, truly. But if it is... we`d love to hear about your day. Drop a comment or DM us — let`s talk.

The bride told us: don`t miss the little things. So when the caterer started serving ice cream person to person instead of setting it out on the table, we did what we do best — a little hide and seek to catch it before it melted (literally and figuratively). Pink kulfi in martini glasses, mithai on the side, a potli bag waiting for its moment — this is the kind of detail that disappears in about four minutes flat if nobody`s chasing it.



I scream, you scream... you get the idea. Got a detail you`re worried we`ll miss? Tell us in the comments or send us a DM — we love a good challenge.
