17 of 25: Rakesh and Vidya @ Sheraton National in Arlington, VA

Our Labor Day Bride and Groom, Rakesh and Vidya! This was a couple that had their hearts set on us even before they walked through the door. Rakesh refused to leave until we allowed him to secure their wedding date!

Vidya herself has to be one of the most quietest, laid back, down to earth South Asian bride that I have EVER met, not that I don’t love all our girls the same! It was just so nice to have her embrace the fact that she trusted whatever we did, recommended knowing that she hired because we would do whatever it took to ensure that she had wonderful shots of just how her day was, just as it happened. I have to admit that before even blogging I knew which shot was my favorite, ever so vivid there is one image hands down that I love more than any other that we had taken on her wedding day even though Rakesh and Vidya have a lot of images to LOVE!

Both their families are equally amazing and to hear Vidya’s dad speak of her was almost enough to bring tears to any daughter’s eyes, her dad explains her as an “Atomic burst of joy…”, Vidya is just that and Rakesh so very well adds to the beauty of her joy, you see them together and his focus in life is making sure Vidya is always happy! That is an ideal hubby for sure.

We hope that you will both keep in touch and that we may see you around in the New Year!

    Like most people, I was struck by Regeti’s work when I first saw it. They photographed my cousin Shipra’s wedding in July 2007. I recommended Regeti to Rakesh as, really, the best and only option. Again, their work is amazing.

    Big fan,

Here’s the quiet truth no one tells guests before an Indian or Indian-American wedding:

You’re not just watching.
You’re participating.
Not with choreography or rituals — but with presence.

Indian weddings move differently.
They breathe differently.
They carry meaning in moments that don’t announce themselves.

When guests arrive expecting efficiency, cues, or constant explanation, tension builds — and the couple feels it.

What actually matters?
Respect.
Patience.
Openness.
That’s it.

This post isn’t about rules or etiquette.
It’s about showing up with curiosity instead of expectations — and why that one shift changes everything for the couple at the center of it all.

There’s what you see on wedding day.
And then there’s everything that makes us the photographers we are.

This channel is where we share the in-between —
the building, the learning, the late nights,
the marriage that has carried us through nearly two decades of photographing other people’s love stories.

We’re still very much in weddings.
Still shooting.
Still telling stories.
Still showing up for our couples.
But here, you’ll also see how we live, work, problem-solve, and grow together behind the camera —
because who we are off a wedding day shapes how we show up on one.

If you’re planning a wedding,
work in the wedding industry,
or simply love honest conversations about partnership, creativity, and building a life together —
you’ll fit right in.
