Aakshe and Dishank’s Civil Ceremony | Micro Wedding | Ritz Carlton, Tysons Corner, Virginia

Big, big thank you to Mukesh for all his help in arranging for coverage of his daughter Aakshe and Dishank‘s civil ceremony at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner and Michael from Rosemont Manor in Berryville Virginia for presiding over their ceremony helping make it easier for all of us as we are getting through.

It was nice to finally see a familiar wedding industry face and to feel a small amount of normalcy and love come into the light. We cannot wait to get back into the swing of things as we really miss all of our families – wedding clients and vendors the same. We want everyone to know that we are here for them in any way we can to help throughout the process. We promise to stay committed and flexible as much as we possibly can as we move towards the light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long it takes to reach it.

Aakshe And Dishank's Indian Wedding At Historic Rosemont Manor, Berryville, Virginia | Indian And South Asian Wedding PhotographersJanuary 30, 2025 - 11:37 pm
[…] Aakshe and Deshank‘s magical wedding at the beautiful Historic Rosemont Manor in Berryville, Virginia. As one of their preferred vendors, it’s always an honor to capture weddings at this breathtaking venue, where history, elegance, and natural beauty come together to create the perfect setting for a memorable celebration.

That view, though. Shatakshi and Madhu chose the Omni in Hot Springs, VA for their sangeet celebrations, and honestly, those mountains rolling out behind the property? Chef`s kiss. There`s something about getting a little distance from the everyday that makes a sangeet weekend feel even more special — everyone`s there, phones are (mostly) down, and it`s just family, dancing, and stories.

We love when a venue becomes part of the celebration instead of just a backdrop. Got a mountain wedding or sangeet in the works? Drop a comment or DM us — we`d love to hear about it.

There`s a very short list of moments that can rival a mother`s joy on her daughter`s wedding weekend — and this forehead-to-forehead hug is definitely on it. Maybe her birthday gives it a run for its money, but honestly? I`m not so sure. The way she cupped her Mom`s face just as Mom was getting emotional, mehndi and all, said everything words couldn`t.

Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do, why we want to be present for you and YOUR family. Have a mother-daughter moment from your wedding you`ll never forget? Tell us about it in the comments, or DM us to chat about capturing yours.

That little pause before someone reaches for a keepsake — that`s the moment I always watch for. This gorgeous mirrored cart full of favors got me thinking about what guests actually remember from a wedding. Is it the food? The dance floor? Or is it these small, thoughtful touches that make you feel like you were truly hosted, not just invited? Uthsaav, Abhishek Decorators, CB Catering and the couple all nailed it here.

I`m an experience person through and through. Give me something that makes me pause, smile, and feel a little cared for, and I`m sold. What`s a wedding favor or keepsake that`s stuck with you over the years? Tell me in the comments, or DM us if you`re planning something special and want it documented right.

That laugh. That stride. That candid, can`t-fake-it energy — this is the stuff we chase every single wedding season. 😍

So... if you`re getting married in 2027, we need to know! Drop your date below 👇 and tell us — are you thinking just photo + cinema, or are you ready to go full Legacy Makers experience with The Regeti`s and Diego Stuart Films? Either way, we`d love to chat. DM us or book a consult — let`s make your walk this good too.

Don`t make a daddy`s girl call her dad on you - landline and all. Riddhi is ALL grown up and getting married and we are just... not ready. We`ve watched this happen a hundred times and it still gets us every single time, especially when the couple in front of our lens is this cute together. And the fact that she chose us for this?? We`re still smiling about it.

Sweet, playful, completely themselves - this is exactly the kind of energy we help bring from behind the camera. Got a proposal story or an engagement session on your mind? Drop a comment or send us a DM, we`d love to hear about it.

These are the shots that get me every time — not the couple, not the decor, but this. The parents, cousins, fiends, a little one in pink, perfectly content in her grandmother`s lap while everyone around her watches the sangeet unfold. She won`t remember this moment, but her family will, forever.

This is what we mean when we say wedding photography isn`t about trends — it`s about catching the in-between. The speeches, the performances, the glances between generations. Your joy was never meant to stand alone; it was always meant to be witnessed, held, and celebrated by the people who raised you. If that`s the kind of story you want told, we should definitely have a conversation.

Okay, we said it. Somebody had to.

After 20 years and more weddings than we can count, here`s what we`ve learned: the couples we click with best aren`t chasing trends or a perfectly styled feed — they want photos that still mean something at their 25th anniversary, when grandparents aren`t in the room anymore and that mandap is the only place they still "are." If that`s not you, no hard feelings, truly. But if it is... we`d love to hear about your day. Drop a comment or DM us — let`s talk.

The bride told us: don`t miss the little things. So when the caterer started serving ice cream person to person instead of setting it out on the table, we did what we do best — a little hide and seek to catch it before it melted (literally and figuratively). Pink kulfi in martini glasses, mithai on the side, a potli bag waiting for its moment — this is the kind of detail that disappears in about four minutes flat if nobody`s chasing it.

I scream, you scream... you get the idea. Got a detail you`re worried we`ll miss? Tell us in the comments or send us a DM — we love a good challenge.

That laugh right there? That`s exactly what we`re after. Shatakshi and Madhu carved out a little time with us right after their venue walkthrough at The Omni Homestead, and what started as a quick coaching session turned into pure joy in front of the camera.

Honestly, we push all our couples to do this before the wedding day. It`s less about the photos (though obviously, yes) and more about us learning each other - how you laugh, how you lean into each other, what natural actually looks like on you two. We trade our time for yours because it always pays off tenfold on the big day. Which it did!

Anjali and Eric got up before the sun for this one — and honestly? So worth it. We had Occoquan almost entirely to ourselves, just soft golden light and these two being goofy and in love. Piggyback rides included. 😄

We love this match-up extra because they came to us through a past bride, Abigail — and if you know us, you know referrals from our couples mean everything. Bonus: their big day is being planned by the talented Ani Sandhu of Ace of Events, so we already know it`s going to be special.

Engagement sessions like this are our favorite kind of proof — that the best light (and the best laughs) happen when you`re brave enough to set an early alarm. Thinking about your own session, The Regeti`s include them! Drop a comment or DM us — let`s talk sunrise.

That smell right before a wedding starts? Jasmine. Trays and trays of it, strung tight into garlands, waiting to be placed in the bride`s hair or wrapped around a wrist. It`s such a small detail in the grand scheme of a wedding day, but it`s everywhere in Indian culture — poojas, weddings, welcoming guests, even just Sunday mornings at home. There`s something about fresh jasmine that makes a moment feel official, like the day has really begun.

We always try to get a frame of it before the flowers go anywhere near the bride — the texture, the fragrance you can almost feel through the photo.

Have jasmine flowers been part of your family`s traditions? Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you`re planning a wedding and want photos that catch these small, fragrant details too.

That look on his face — half amused, half "do I have to do this again?" — while someone (probably an uncle or family friend) rubs turmeric into his hair mid-haldi. This is exactly the kind of moment I mean when I say kids learn what they live.

Every family does haldi a little differently — who sits where, who applies it first, how long the teasing lasts before someone finally wipes their face. Even families from the same town, same language, same background — it`s never identical. That`s what I love photographing. This little guy is absorbing all of it, and someday he`ll be the one holding the turmeric for someone else.

Want photos that catch these in-between moments, not just the posed ones? Send us a DM — we`d love to hear about your day.

This is the hug that gets me every single time. The bride in her flower jewelry, glowing from a morning of ceremony, wrapped around the woman who probably held her as a baby. Grandmothers show up different at weddings — there`s a softness, a pride, a whole history in the way they look at their grandchild in that moment.

We photograph a lot of weddings, but it`s these in-between hugs that we chase hardest. Years from now, this is the photo that gets pulled out and passed around. Tag someone who needs to see their grandmother`s/nannamma`s face like this, or drop a 💛 if this reminds you of your own.

Confession: walking into a wedding where I`ve never met the couple makes me a little nervous. No engagement session, no getting-to-know-you time beforehand — just showing up and hoping the images feel like *them* and not just pretty pictures of strangers.

Bhavya`s mom reached out for this one, and from the second we met Bhavya and Jayant, every worry melted away. They were two of the sweetest, most humble people we`ve photographed — and walking these vines at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg? Absolutely no complaints there. Some venues just do the work for you.

Okay, I have to be honest with y`all — I am NOT a pani puri girl. 😅 My brother-in-law hyped these up so much in Hyderabad that he drove me over an hour through absolutely brutal traffic to hit up one of the best spots for it, and when that crunch/cold tamarind water/cilantro combo hit me all at once... I just wasn`t ready. Coming from the girl who makes her own idlis and dosa batter from scratch with a stone grinder, you`d think I`d be all in on this one. Maybe I just need round two with lower expectations!

We photograph SO much incredible food at Indian weddings and I love learning the stories behind every dish, every family favorite, every `you HAVE to try this` moment. Tell me — am I wrong about pani puri, or does everyone feel this way the first time? 👇 And if you`re planning a wedding full of food, family and moments like this, DM us — we`d love to talk.

That`s our niece ShelbyJ and her fiancé Thomas, caught during a mini session out in the field behind our house — a little preview before their October 24, 2026 wedding. Here`s something we don`t talk about much: the real cost of this job isn`t the gear or the long hours, it`s the weekends. As South Asian and fusion wedding photographers, we spend our Saturdays helping other families honor two cultures, two faiths, and build one new one — which means we`ve had to step back from photographing our own family`s celebrations. Shelby was bummed we won`t be behind the camera for her big day, but honestly? We`re thrilled we get to just be family that day instead.

Okay, this love story has us grinning ear to ear. 😄 Sanjana and Ram met in college in Goa, India, then somehow ended up chasing their PhDs on the opposite side of the globe in the USA. Ram apparently did some serious chasing before Sanjana actually proposed to him, and honestly? Look at them now, strolling through the winding pathways at the Evergreen Museum in Baltimore like it was always meant to be. Love will always find its way.

That rich red-and-gold saree against all those autumn leaves is giving us major color-palette envy. Is it October yet?! Got a love story with a few plot twists of your own? We`d love to hear it — drop a comment or DM us to chat about your big day! 💌

This little tray tells its own story. Turmeric, kumkum, flowers, all set out before Aish and Kangjun`s Hindu ceremony at the Lotus Temple in Chantilly. Kangjun and his family came from China for this, and so much of it was new to them. Watching a family lean in and ask questions, want to understand the why behind each ritual, is one of my favorite parts of fusion weddings. Nobody`s just going through the motions. Everyone`s learning.

Have you seen a family embrace traditions that weren`t originally their own? I`d love to hear about it. And if you`re planning a fusion celebration of your own, send us a DM, we`d love to talk.
