Garima & Nimesh, Hyatt Regency – Indian Wedding, Cambridge, Maryland

We pride ourselves that 95% of our brides come to us through personal/professional referrals from professionals that we work with that respect us and believe in what we offer & past or present bride/grooms and their family members. I think that the reason why there is so much pride in it is because NONE of our clients are just clients, but become an extension of our family, some closer than others of course, that keep in touch – update us, send us post cards on trips they have taken, include us in mailings of photos of the family annually with little notes on life as they know it and it simply brings us happiness to see that they have included us in on life’s most important moments.

Garima was no different as the sister of a past groom referred her along to us and honestly for as many referrals as this one sister has given we definitely need to start a rewards program of our own, Priya know that you are loved!

The first time we met Garima and Nimesh was during their engagement session in Philadelphia as they booked us in advanced based on pure word of mouth and viewing our work online, got to love it when a bride knows exactly what she wants and just checks it off her to-do list. We had such a great time with the two of them that we knew their wedding day no matter how crazy it could ever get would be one that we were most certainly going to be thrilled to be part of.

The Hyatt Regency at Chesapeake Bay (shout out to Kate Hopkins for keeping it together as always!) never disappoints, their spacious suites, tentative staff and don’t forget the amazing backdrop for a ceremony lends itself to most locals in the DMV area as a destination wedding all of its own. And the best part is that I grew up on the Easton Shore so for me shooting there simply brings me home… to my family.

Nimesh and Garima it was an absolute pleasure to be part of what was a very blessed day for your both, to share in it with your family and friends, both here and in our hearts, meant a lot to us, trusting us to capture the moments among the hustle and bustle of your morning and evening meant a lot knowing that you were not able to formally meet with us leading up until your engagement, however thankfully you have a dear friend in Priya and she gave us both a friendship that will last forever. Many happy returns of your day!

There is someone who greets the guests at almost every Hindu wedding we photograph before they ever see the bride or groom.

Lord Ganesha. ❤️

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, and after more than two decades of photographing Indian and fusion weddings, Ganesha has become one of those details we instinctively look for.

Sometimes he’s grand and surrounded by flowers. Sometimes he’s a small murti quietly placed near the ceremony entrance. But his presence means something: new beginnings, wisdom, prosperity and the removal of obstacles.

And what bigger new beginning is there than marriage?

For our Indian-American and fusion families, we also think there’s something important in this: traditions don’t have to remain frozen in time to remain meaningful.

Celebrate them. Explain them to your children. Let grandparents tell the stories. Blend traditions from both sides. Add the birthday cake if you want to! There is no cultural purity test your family needs to pass.

Tradition survives because we continue carrying it forward—even when the next generation carries it a little differently.

And a Regeti family fun fact? Ganesh isn’t our only birthday today. Our son Brijesh turns 24 while spending his birthday in Peru in the Peace Corps! ❤️

He also has medical school applications out there in the universe, so given Ganesha’s reputation for removing obstacles… we’re just saying, a little birthday favor would be perfectly timed. 😉🙏🏽

Happy 24th Birthday, Brijesh. We love you tremendously and are so proud of you.

And Happy Ganesh Chaturthi from our fusion family to yours.

Different paths. Beautiful together. ❤️
And she's off! That train is doing ALL the talking. 😍 No one ever really sees the hours of hand-sewn lacework, the fittings, the careful steps down the aisle just to keep it perfect — but oh my goodness, when it unfolds like this? Pure statement piece. This is why we always hang back a beat before the ceremony starts — some of the best storytelling happens in the walk itself.

There's a whole story happening in this one shot. Tara's hands are just resting there, but you can feel the anticipation in them — and meanwhile everything else around her is full throttle, last touches happening, the clock ticking down to "it's time." This is the kind of moment we live for as photographers... the quiet inside the chaos, right before it all begins.

That look on their faces?! The anticipation is REAL as everyone waits on Tara to make her entrance. 😄 You can practically feel the countdown happening in this hallway — flower girls fussing with their dresses, the littlest ring bearer clutching his sippy cup like it's his most important job of the day, and one very serious best man giving us his best "are we doing this or what" face.

This is my favorite kind of chaos to photograph — the in-between moments right before the doors open, when a wedding party of tiny humans (and their very patient grownups) are doing everything they can to hold it together for just a few more minutes. Been shooting these hallway holding patterns for almost 20 years and they never get old.

What's your favorite pre-ceremony moment — the nerves, the giggles, or the "please don't cry" pep talks? Tell me below, or DM us to chat about capturing your own day. 👇 @tarab413

Tara and Birju got married... and then got MOVING! 🏃‍♀️💨 Fresh off their Hindu ceremony (still glowing in those gorgeous floral garlands!), they had zero minutes to spare before jumping into their Christian ceremony next. Two beautiful traditions, one incredible day, and a timeline tighter than Birju's sherwani buttons!

This is exactly why we love fusion weddings — the joy, the family energy, the sheer logistics of pulling off two ceremonies in one day. Tara and Birju, you crushed it. 🙌

The second it becomes official 😍 Birju's face here is EVERYTHING — so overwhelmed he couldn't even get his hand up, while Tara was already celebrating with the whole family cheering around them. LOVE IT!

Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do. Ready to capture yours? Send us a DM or book a consult with us! @tarab413

The second the last phera ended, Tara obviously was given the intel about the sitting superstition — whoever sits down first "rules the household." You can see the exact moment it registers on her face 😂 Birju clearly wasn't messing around either, mid-scramble to beat her to the chair.

We love catching these split-second moments in between the more serious parts of the ceremony — the laughter, the teasing, the little cultural traditions passed down half-joking, half-serious. Tara embraced every bit of it, and it showed. This is exactly why we never put the cameras down between rituals. Comment below if you've heard of this tradition (or tried to win it at your own wedding) 👇 @tarab413

Recap of Abigail + Corey's Wedding
I know, I know — everyone wants candids these days, and we love those too. But look at this moment. Someone asked for this photo. Maybe it was mom. Maybe it was the bride herself, thinking ahead to the day this hangs above the fireplace.

Here's what decades of doing this has taught us: nobody remembers to ask for the posed shots in the moment. They're too busy living the day. That's our job — to know which ones matter before you do, and to make sure you have them when you're looking back in year 10, not just scrolling in year one. 

Whose photo like this do you still have hanging up? 

Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you're planning and want to talk through what shots matter most for your family.
