One Last Wedding in 2010: Meagan and Adam and Hotel Washington in Washington DC

It was in speaking to Meagan’s father Tom and emailing back and forth that he had melted my heart so much that not taking this one last wedding in our 2010 year would have made us feel guilty more than proud of keeping it at 25 exactly. After meeting Meagan and Adam for the first time during their engagement session with us it totally confirmed that they were such a “Regeti’s Bride and Groom” that we would have totally lost out by not accepting them as clients.

An added plus was that we got to spend a wonderful evening at the marvelous “W Hotel” in Washington DC enjoying the swanky and chic environment that the hotel offers to its guests. It was such a pleasure to get to know not just Meagan and Adam, but Tom and his wife as well. We hope that you will remember us in the future and stay in touch as the years pass by. To Adam we have to commend you for the strength and courage that you have brought forth in honoring and preserving our right to freedom as citizens of this country and in providing the generations to come a more safe and secure future as Americans. We love you guys!

  • J DavisJanuary 27, 2011 - 1:28 am

    Wow!!!! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Looking at those pictures, it will take much more than that to describe how beautiful those they are. Often our days and nights pass so quickly that we don’t have time to grasp those special moments in our lives that we hold so near and dear to us. A picture is a reflection/reminder of a special moment in our lives that we have felt God created just for us. Although it is just a symbol, your marriage will be just as beautiful as your pictures. You two are a beautiful couple and I pray the success of your marriage.ReplyCancel

There’s a moment that tells you everything you need to know about a man.
And it’s not during the vows.
It’s this.
When he bends.
Not out of obligation—
but out of respect.
In many South Asian weddings, touching the feet of elders is a gesture of seeking blessings.
But what it really reveals is something deeper.
Humility.
Upbringing.
Character.
Because in a day filled with celebration, attention, and ego—
this is the moment where he lowers himself.
And the people who raised him place their hands over his head…
not just to bless the marriage—
but to affirm the man he has become.
If this matters to you—
not just how your partner looks, but who they are at their core—
then you understand why moments like this matter.
They’re not staged.
They’re not prompted.
They’re earned.
And they happen in seconds.
That’s why they can’t be missed.

She’s not the bride. 💐
But she’s not just a guest either.
In many South Asian weddings, the groom’s sister holds a place that isn’t always announced… but is deeply felt.
She’s the bridge between what was… and what’s about to be.
The one who grew up with him.
The one who knows who he was before anyone else did.
The one who watched him become the man standing at the mandap.
And now… she’s watching someone else step into his life in a way she never could.
There’s pride in that.
There’s joy in that.
And if we’re being honest… there’s emotion in that too.
Because while everyone celebrates the couple…
she’s quietly processing a shift of her own.
Not loss.
But change.
A new role.
A new dynamic.
A new relationship forming right in front of her.
And in moments like this — laughter spilling out, surrounded by family, fully present — you can feel it.
She’s happy.
She’s proud.
She’s all in.
But she also knows…
Things will never be exactly the same again.
And that’s okay.
Because this is how families grow. 🌺

Most people will scroll past this and see a beautiful moment.💫
We see something else entirely.
A father standing in front of his daughter… not losing her, not letting go of her… but quietly acknowledging who she has become.
There’s no performance here.
No audience.
No expectation.
Just pride.
Just love.❤️
Just a man looking at the life he helped raise… now ready to step into her own.
This is where we’ve always felt different in this industry.
Because while many chase the perfect image…
the most “shareable” wedding…
the most “worthy” event…
we’ve never been able to see weddings that way.
Every single one matters.
Not because of the budget.
Not because of the decor.
Not because of how it will look on a feed.
But because of moments like this — ones that don’t need validation to hold weight.
We didn’t start this for status.
We didn’t build this for highlight reels. As a matter of fact you won`t even see many here because time doesn`t permit during our days working our hardest to be present for them - the family.
We built this because we genuinely care about what these days mean to the people living them.
And the truth is…
if this moment doesn’t move you — even just a little — then we’re probably not your photographers.
But if it does…
If you’re looking for someone who will walk into your wedding not as a vendor, but as someone who sees your family the way you do…
Then we should talk.
Because these are the moments we protect.
Not just the ones the world claps for —
but the ones that quietly stay with you for the rest of your life.

There’s a moment most brides don’t plan for.
And almost no one talks about.
It’s not the grand entrance.
Not the music.
Not the rituals.
It’s this.
The quiet.
Before the timelines take over.
Before the voices fill the room.
Before the expectations begin to pull in every direction.
Just you.
Sitting with what’s about to unfold.
Your hands steady… but your mind moving.
Your heart catching up to the reality of the day.
Because once it starts—
it doesn’t slow down.
And this small, almost invisible pocket of time…
is often the only moment that truly belongs to you.
We always look for this.
Not the staged version of a wedding day—
but the honest one.
The pause before the poetry.
The breath before the noise.
Because years from now,
this is the feeling you’ll remember most.

If you’re planning a South Asian or fusion wedding…
and want your story captured beyond just the events—
we’d love to be part of it.

One of the greatest gifts of wedding photography isn’t the portrait.
It’s the laughter.
The kind that happens when you’re surrounded by the people who raised you, grew up with you, and walked beside you long before the wedding day ever arrived.
These are the moments we love documenting most.
The bride and groom sitting together, soaking it all in.
Family members laughing in the background.
Friends cheering, clapping, reacting to performances and speeches.
Because years from now, when the outfits are packed away and the decorations are long gone…
what people remember most is how it felt.
The joy.
The excitement.
The energy in the room.
And those feelings become even more meaningful as time passes. As life moves forward and laugh lines deepen, these photographs become reminders of a moment when everyone you loved was gathered in one place, celebrating something beautiful together.
That’s the responsibility we feel every time we photograph a wedding.
Not just to document what it looked like…
but to preserve what it felt like to be there.
That’s also why working as a husband and wife team matters so much to us. After nearly two decades of photographing weddings together, we’ve learned how to anticipate the emotional moments before they even happen.
The quiet glance.
The burst of laughter.
The reactions happening all around the couple.
Because those moments?
They’re the ones that matter most when the years go by.

After nearly two decades of photographing weddings together, we’ve learned how to anticipate the emotional moments before they even happen. The quiet glance. The burst of laughter. The reactions happening all around the couple. Because those moments? They’re the ones that matter most when the years go by. — #SouthAsianWeddings #IndianDestinationWedding #SangeetNight #IndianWeddingMexico #MoonPalaceMexico #DestinationIndianWedding #DesiWedding #SouthAsianBride #LuxuryIndianWedding #IndianWeddingPhotographer #SouthAsianWeddingPhotographer #WeddingPhotographersInVirginia #IndianWeddingPhotographersInVirginia #DestinationWeddingPhotographer #FusionWedding #WeddingStorytelling #IndianWeddingInspiration

This is where the night begins.
Up on the rooftop, overlooking the ocean, the stage is set for one of the most energetic celebrations of the entire wedding week — the Mehndi & Sangeet.
Colorful lanterns strung across the sky.
Music about to fill the air.
Friends and family slowly gathering around tables that won’t stay quiet for long.
If you’ve never experienced a South Asian Sangeet, imagine this:
Part family reunion.
Part dance competition.
Part emotional tribute to the couple.
And part absolute party.
Parents rehearse dances for weeks.
Siblings secretly plan surprise performances.
Friends coordinate choreography they swear they only practiced once.
And somehow, when the music starts, the entire night turns into one long celebration of two families coming together.
But before the first song plays…
there’s this moment.
The calm setup.
The lanterns swaying in the ocean breeze.
The quiet anticipation of what’s about to unfold.
Because very soon…
this rooftop will be packed, the speakers will be booming, and nobody will be sitting in those chairs.
✨ Question for you:
At a Sangeet… are you the one performing, or the one cheering from the sidelines?

There’s something quietly powerful about this moment.
No crowd.
No music.
No choreography.
Just two people standing close enough to feel the shift that’s about to change their lives forever.
Before the ceremonies begin… before the families gather around the mandap… before the noise and celebration take over the day… there is always a moment like this.
A breath.
A glance.
A small pause where the bride and groom remember why all of this is happening in the first place.
What we love about photographing South Asian weddings is that beneath the color, the scale, and the incredible traditions… there are always these soft moments hiding in between everything else.
Moments where the bride isn’t performing for the celebration.
She’s just being herself.
And the groom is quietly realizing that this woman — standing in front of him, wearing henna that tells a story of family and tradition — is about to become his partner for the rest of his life.
These are the frames that matter most to us.
Not the ones that simply show what the wedding looked like…
…but the ones that remind you how it felt.

Mexico has a way of turning light into something magical.
Just after a passing rain shower, the air became heavy with mist — the kind that softens everything it touches. The sky cleared, the sun pushed through the clouds, and suddenly the entire courtyard was glowing.
For a few quiet minutes before the Mehndi and Sangeet began, the world slowed down.
The light caught the movement of her lehenga.
The air still carried the scent of rain.
And the atmosphere felt almost cinematic — warm, dreamy, and completely unplanned.
Destination weddings are full of moments like this.
You can plan the music.
You can plan the decor.
You can plan the timeline.
But sometimes the most beautiful scenes are the ones nature decides to create for you.
The mist after the rain.
The sunlight cutting through it.
A quiet spin before the celebration begins.
Mexico doesn’t just host weddings.
It sets the mood for them.
✨ Tell us below:
Do you love portraits in golden sun or after-the-rain mist like this?

Sometimes the sky sets the stage before the celebration even begins.
Just before the Mehndi and Sangeet festivities kicked off, the sky over Mexico decided to put on its own performance.
Soft clouds.
Warm evening light.
Palm trees swaying quietly over the ocean.
If you’ve ever photographed destination weddings, you learn quickly that nature has a way of becoming part of the story. And in places like this, the sky almost feels like it’s participating in the celebration.
Because moments like this are the calm before the real magic begins.
Soon the music will start.
The dance floor will fill.
Henna will be drying on hands while families laugh, sing, and celebrate.
But right here — in this quiet pause between the day and the night — you can feel the anticipation building.
The sky softens.
The light turns golden.
And everyone knows the celebration is about to begin.
Mexico skies never lie.

Do you prefer a sunset Mehndi or a nighttime Sangeet under the lights?

Haldi tradition says the bride and groom should take a bath after the ceremony.
What it doesn’t say…
is how that bath has to happen. 😄
After the turmeric, laughter, and chaos of the Haldi ceremony, there’s usually a moment where the bride and groom rinse everything off — symbolizing purification and stepping into the next phase of the wedding.
But destination weddings have a way of rewriting the rules.
At this celebration in Mexico, the ocean was right there…
and the groomsmen decided the groom didn’t need a quiet rinse.
He needed a full send into the Caribbean.
Before anyone could stop them, the boys had lifted him up, carried him down the beach, and launched him straight into the sea — fully dressed, laughter echoing across the shoreline.
And just like that…
The Haldi ceremony turned into a post-Haldi ocean bath.
Moments like this are why we love South Asian weddings so much.
Yes, they are deeply rooted in tradition.
But they’re also filled with spontaneity, humor, and the kind of memories that families will talk about for decades.
Because somewhere between the rituals and the celebration…
the real stories happen.
✨ Question for you:
Would your friends gently help you rinse off after Haldi… or throw you straight into the ocean?

The calm before the color.
Before the music starts.
Before the laughter erupts.
Before the bride and groom are covered head to toe in turmeric, joy, and absolute chaos…
There is this moment.
The stillness.
At destination weddings, mornings like this feel almost surreal. The air is warm, the light is soft, and everything feels quiet for just a little while longer. The mandap space is empty, the chairs untouched, the families still gathering.
But everyone knows what’s coming next.
The Haldi ceremony.
For those unfamiliar with Indian weddings, Haldi is one of the most joyful pre-wedding traditions. A turmeric paste is lovingly applied to the bride and groom by family and friends, symbolizing blessings, protection, and purification before marriage.
In reality?
It usually turns into one of the most fun and unpredictable parts of the entire celebration.
Turmeric everywhere.
Laughter that echoes across the courtyard.
Parents sneaking in an extra smear on the groom.
Friends making sure nobody walks away clean.
Standing here at Moon Palace in Mexico, waiting for it all to begin, you can almost feel the energy building.
Because in just a few minutes…
This peaceful courtyard will explode into yellow.
And it will be beautiful.
