Zara’s First Birthday | McLean, Virginia

Happy 1st Birthday Zara! The Cooper/Chahel’s hold a near and dear spot in our hearts as we have have the distinct pleasure and of course honor to document both Shelly and Danny’s (her brother) weddings to their incredible humble and kind life partners – in addition to capturing all of Shelly and Simon’s little ones first birthday celebrations as Shelly always pours her heart and soul into the decor and festivities to celebrate in style.

As parents of five children first birthdays seem to be this significant milestone to remember, as I pour over our own images of our children it makes me appreciate the persistence, dedication, discipline, and structure Shelly has to have taken the time to capture it all. These two are truly busybodies and to see them go from engaged to parents has been an amazing journey for us. Simon has this calm, cool, and collected demeanor that when you are around him the world could be crumbling under your feet and he would make you feel that there was nothing to fear, it is something that over the years you can feel Shelly respond to as she realizes that together they could very well conquer the world. From where I stand they certainly are rocking out this parenting equation, couldn’t be more proud of the parents that they have become, and their including us in it all. May you and your families be forever blessed!

It’s this simple.
Not everyone sees the beauty in the details anymore.

While many are shooting wider, faster, and flatter—we’re still here, focused on the quiet, meaningful, intentional moments. The kind that slow you down. The kind that last.

If muted, mass-produced wedding coverage isn’t your vibe—you’re in the right place.

We’d love to hear about your story, your vision, your details—and share a little of ours too.

It’s time to get focused, planning brides. 🎯
Let’s make sure nothing that matters gets missed.

No proposals. No fluff. Just real people, real experience, real results.

💍 Because your wedding deserves more than just pictures—it deserves The Regeti’s.

Instead of just sending over pricing, we now require a quick Zoom call with Amy (that’s me!). Why? Because I want to hear your story, your needs, your vision—and from there, we’ll give you a custom flat-rate quote that’s worry-free and all-inclusive.

💡 Planning a multi-day event? No problem.
💡 Not sure how much coverage you'll need yet? That’s okay too.

We’ll provide one simple base price with a clear hourly rate if your celebration expands. No fluff, no upsells, no hidden fees. Just the confidence of knowing what it costs from the beginning.

📸 You get us—Amy & Srinu.
No associate shooters. No mystery team. The two of us are with you from start to finish. We don't just show up—we bring nearly 20 years of experience, cultural sensitivity, and a love for what we do right to your celebration.

You want to know who’s showing up.
And you don’t want to stress about timeline changes or coverage hours mid-planning.
We’ve photographed hundreds of weddings. We know how things shift, expand, and evolve—and we plan for it. This isn’t our first mandap. Or church. Or vineyard. 😉
