Chris Samuels + Monique Cox = Married!

It’s official former NFL RedskinsLeft Tackle, Mr. Chris Samuels has wedded the beautiful Monique Cox at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC!

It was a wonderful celebratory event held at the Ronald Reagan Building on Saturday with Washington’s finest event professionals such as Leaph Drake with Divine Memoirs, Sharone and his team at Da Vinci’s, Julie and her team at Syzygy Events, Dan and his team at RCI Sound, Thomas Bowen Films, Vince with Digital Lightning and of course our amazing team at Regeti’s with Associate Ryan and Assistant Sridhar, big thanks to you both for all your hard work. Everyone did an amazing job it shows right down to the details.

Chris is such a down to earth guy, one of the most kindest and most light hearted people I have come to meet, his groomsmen were a blast to be able to hang out with and judging by the shot below all quite handsome as well.

You can’t get any more perfect than the fact that Monique is this high energy, bubbly, outgoing free spirit that just resonates pure joy and laughter. Combining these two – makes for a serious unstoppable DUO. We are proud to have been able to spend time with the two of them this past year and be part of their amazing wedding celebration this year.

We wish you both much love, happiness, A LOT of laughter and the best and most amazing happily ever after!

XOXOXO
Amy & Srinu

    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.

👉 Especially worth sharing with non-Indian guests
👉 Brides: this is a great post to send before the wedding day

    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.

    Thanksgiving Eve feels extra tender this year.

Grateful for the families we were born into — and the families we’ve built through brides, grooms, parents, friends, vendors, and our SAWL community.

You’ve welcomed us like your own, and we carry that love every day.

A little note from our hearts is live on the blog, if you are into the sappy stuff!

    Yesterday I shared Birju’s baraat as a reel — the color, the music, the movement.
But today, I’m sharing the meaning behind it.

There’s so much more to that moment than drums and dancing… and I felt called to write about it — about family, lineage, belonging, and what Indian-American communities represent in this country far beyond what meets the eye.

If you’ve ever looked at a baraat and wondered what you’re really witnessing — or if you believe America is at its best when we understand each other a little more — this one is worth reading.

It’s a story of culture, love, legacy… and why celebrations like this matter far more than most people realize.

Let me know your thoughts after reading — I’d love to hear how it lands for you.

    Regeti Feature Friday ✨

Some Vidai's feel ceremonial…
and then there are Vidaiis like this.

Palak and her grandfather — a moment that says everything without a single word.
You could feel the attachment, the history, the love that only a grandparent carries.

Vidai isn’t just a goodbye.
It’s generations holding on… and letting go… all at once.

If you want storytellers who notice the moments that matter most, explore more at theregetis.com.

And join us at SAWL.life for deeper conversations around the South Asian wedding experience.

    What makes a South Asian fusion wedding fusion?
Hint: It’s not just about skin tone or who’s marrying outside the culture.

Fusion happens when:
✨ Two Indian families speak different languages
✨ Two regional traditions meet under one mandap
✨ Two religions blend with respect
✨ Two American upbringings reinterpret cultural roots
✨ Two worlds — any worlds — choose love over labels

This is why we chose this niche.
Because fusion isn’t a buzzword.
It’s the lived experience of so many Indian-American couples navigating identity, culture, family, and love — all at once.

Today’s blog touches the real heart of fusion weddings, including:

✨ How wardrobe, rituals & food carry generational meaning
✨ Why family dynamics are the true fusion challenge
✨ What makes these weddings emotionally rich and unforgettable
If you’re planning a fusion or Indian-American wedding — or simply love seeing two worlds become one — this one is for you.
