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,

Sundays were made for slowing down… and for tuning back into you.

If the week has been full of opinions, expectations, or decisions that feel heavier than joyful, consider this your gentle reminder: you’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to breathe. And you’re absolutely allowed to plan a wedding that feels like yours at its core.

This little moment from Rituals & Reflections always feels right on a day like today:

“Your wedding will ask many things of you — patience, presence, compromise…
but the one thing it will never take from you is your voice.”

So if today is your planning day, give yourself permission to approach it with clarity, calm, and softness.

And if you ever need a little guidance along the way… We’re right here. ✨

This one broke my heart… and shook something deeper.

When I read about the tragic killing of Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, I felt grief —
but like so many brown and immigrant families, I also felt fear.

The man who took her life was brown.

And history has taught us exactly what happens next.
Backlash.
Suspicion.
Stereotypes.
Innocent families paying for one man’s evil.

So in today’s episode of SAWL, I opened up a conversation that so many have quietly held inside:

💔 Why tragedies like this hit brown families differently
💔 The fear of being blamed for something you had NOTHING to do with
💔 What it means to raise brown children in moments like this
💔 And why we must not let this spark more hate

If you’ve ever felt this fear — or if you’re hearing it for the first time —
you need to watch this one.
