Show Lily and Jeff your Poker Face!

What an AWESOME ~ AWESOME ~ AWESOME wedding this was! Not only was it because Lily and Jeff certainly win an award of some type for having one of the most original wedding receptions that we have ever seen, but they raised over $3K from their wedding reception and donated all of it to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Now tell us that aint’ AWESOME! Add a little bit of the Wedding Wire team to it and you bet it was one hell of a bash! Talk about partying like no bodies business… this will be logged in the history of Regeti’s most unique! But of course with Jeff being the CTO of Wedding Wire we would not have expected anything less out of the two of them as for any of you who have ever been to the Wedding Wire office even though there is some serious business and growth happening over there that team likes to party!

Lily and Jeff… so where do the Regeti’s start in about Lily and Jeff outside of Lily stalking us on cruise ships and chasing after us with hotdogs 😉 Unfortunately we did not have an e-session with Lily and Jeff, but we were ever so lucky to have been referred to them by our amazing past bride Mrs. Daisy (Big kisses to her for the wonderful referral!) who we also were able to see again during Jeff and Lily’s wedding as well. Â These two will be in our hearts forever as their personalities and generosity just gleams through. Jeff is totally the quieter one while at the same time as odd as it may sound is very outgoing. Lily exuberates this awesome energy to everyone around her just by smiling at you (obvious from the photos below that she is totally infectious!). There would be days that Lily would just send us random drive by emails that would brighten up my day as she thought about something or had a question to ask. With all the planning and preparations her day went off pretty flawless and we were so happy that in the end they heeded our advice about their photos as we certainly have a few keepers 😉 Oh and Sunny (Yep that Officiant hiding back there is Mr. Sunny Ganguly) his very first time performing a wedding ceremony! Who better to do it then a good friend, right? He was awesome, better than any we have seen till now big recommendations for his services, we hope Lily gives him an awesome review on Wedding Wire!

Lily and Jeff with all that aside we just want to let you know that we were truly honored that you chose Srinu and I to photograph your wedding, we know and understand that there are a lot of talented photographers in the Metro area, but we were graced with the honor and that truly does mean so much to us. We wish you both a very long, happy and very prosperous life together… as we approach our 10 year wedding anniversary we can truly say that with every year the love gets stronger and the years so much better! Keep in touch, we love you guys!

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.

👉 Full blog is live (link in BIO)
👉 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.
