Venue Location: The Gaylord Hotel, 201 Waterfront St, National Harbor, MD 20745
As if one reception is not crazy enough post-COVID, we have received more and more requests for at-home receptions, given that ethnic weddings are more comfortable now than ever, downsizing and trading out the more traditional wedding locations for more intimate destination weddings. Highly cutting back on the wedding guestlist only to return home to greet and welcome all extended family and friends to come party with them, offering congratulations and welcoming the new bride/groom into the family.
For Cayley and Mayank, this affair was just that. Mayank’s parents so proudly and justly welcomed Cayley into the family with formality and flair, sparing no minor details as the Dream Team worked their magic to make the evening at the Riverside an unforgettable one—just as unforgettable as Cayley’s stunningly detailed Sabyasachi lehenga that she wore so well.
We thank you both for welcoming our presence and allowing us to capture your affair as you embark on your forever adventure together!
XOXO,
-the Regeti’s-

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.

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.

There’s something special about engagement celebrations that are kept intimate — they breathe differently.
Bhavya & Jayant’s South Asian Indian engagement celebration at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, Virginia was filled with easy laughter, meaningful conversations, and the kind of togetherness that reminds you what these moments are really about.
Stone Tower is such a beautiful fit for smaller, lighthearted gatherings — open spaces, vineyard views, and a natural elegance that doesn’t need overproduction to shine. It’s a place where families can relax, reconnect, and truly enjoy being together.
It was also a pleasure working closely with Bhavya’s mom during the booking process. Her confidence and decisiveness — right from the referral — spoke volumes.
In so many Indian and Indian-American families, parents thoughtfully vet vendors while couples juggle school, residencies, fellowships, and demanding careers. When trust is there, everything flows exactly as it should.
Authenticity always wins.
The laughter, the smiles, the memories — and the promise of what’s still to come. 🤍
