Indian Telugu Punjabi Wedding Ceremony | Mandarin Oriental Wedding | Washington DC Wedding Photographers

Just a little bit of South Asian eye candy! The ceremony decor at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington DC for this Telugu/Punjabi wedding was over the top and therefore deserves a post all of its own! Every event that we do is always lavish in its own way with certain details being of more importance than others, but let’s just say this, Elegant Affairs and Ani Sandhu with Ace of Events did not disappoint in the execution and delivery of this event from start to finish… With the added touch of DJUSA on audio/sound/lighting everyone had a front row seat.

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. ✨

Rituals and Reflections with The Regeti`s is available NOW on Amazon for purchase.

Sometimes life turns you into something you never planned to be…

For me, it was the outsider who somehow became the interpreter — the person South Asian brides turn to when they’re carrying more than they can say out loud.

It’s taken nearly 30 years inside this culture, loving it, learning it, laughing with it, and growing through it…
but I wouldn’t trade a single lesson.

Feature Friday ✨

Swapna & Hari — ShadowCreek Ceremony + River Creek Reception
Today we’re featuring their beautiful wedding — two venues, two energies, one seamless story.

ShadowCreek held the quiet, emotional, heart-centered moments…
and River Creek brought the celebration to life in the most joyful way.

Watching these two families come together — the tenderness, the cultural rhythms, the genuine love — reminded me again why Indian weddings feel so deeply generational. They’re not events… they’re family history unfolding.

And watching Swapna & Hari move through their day with grace, humor, and that quiet understanding between them? Pure magic.

You can see more from their day at theregetis.com or by clicking on BIO to our for the BLOG link directly.

OR if you want to find your calm - book a Clarity Call with Amy - if you’re planning your 2026-27 wedding we would love to hear from you 💛

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.

👉 Full episode is now live. Link in BIO.
