Best clients tend to be the referred ones that have common friends that we have photographed. Still, every once in a while, you get an amazing, trusted family member who does their research and sends the groom’s parents along to you, only to find out the bride grew up right in your backyard, pretty much neighbors – those awesome personalities and priorities align. A contract is in your inbox signed! Just reminds you that what you do isn’t something everyone in your industry is capable of because you sit back and listen to all the needs and wants, and come the wedding day, it all just comes together as visionaries; it’s something that throughout the years we have learned to do during the client file creation, the calls we get on and of course each clients engagement session. It is important to remember that none of our clients are the same, none with the same two stories or the same two families, so to think that you can just recreate the same work is crazy. It’s something we do not try to do; every part of your day is about you being you, us being us, and bringing it all out of you. For Jordan, Praneeth, and their families, I felt we nailed it – hook, line, and sinker as this day was not long, but it started early and ended late, for 22 hours if I remember correctly. It consisted of two back-to-back (Traditional Telugu weddings, followed by their American ceremony) ceremonies and a beautiful reception.

Jordan and Praneeth work in the ER, so I am sure this day was not even close to the pressure, chaos, and rush they feel in their careers, and we were thrilled to be part of it all. Thank you to everyone, parents, our couple, and all the “friendors” who made this long day feel like the ultimate P-A-R-T-Y!

XOXO,

    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.

👉 Especially worth sharing with non-Indian guests
👉 Brides: this is a great post to send before the wedding day

    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.

    Thanksgiving Eve feels extra tender this year.

Grateful for the families we were born into — and the families we’ve built through brides, grooms, parents, friends, vendors, and our SAWL community.

You’ve welcomed us like your own, and we carry that love every day.

A little note from our hearts is live on the blog, if you are into the sappy stuff!

    Yesterday I shared Birju’s baraat as a reel — the color, the music, the movement.
But today, I’m sharing the meaning behind it.

There’s so much more to that moment than drums and dancing… and I felt called to write about it — about family, lineage, belonging, and what Indian-American communities represent in this country far beyond what meets the eye.

If you’ve ever looked at a baraat and wondered what you’re really witnessing — or if you believe America is at its best when we understand each other a little more — this one is worth reading.

It’s a story of culture, love, legacy… and why celebrations like this matter far more than most people realize.

Let me know your thoughts after reading — I’d love to hear how it lands for you.

    Regeti Feature Friday ✨

Some Vidai's feel ceremonial…
and then there are Vidaiis like this.

Palak and her grandfather — a moment that says everything without a single word.
You could feel the attachment, the history, the love that only a grandparent carries.

Vidai isn’t just a goodbye.
It’s generations holding on… and letting go… all at once.

If you want storytellers who notice the moments that matter most, explore more at theregetis.com.

    What makes a South Asian fusion wedding fusion?
Hint: It’s not just about skin tone or who’s marrying outside the culture.

Fusion happens when:
✨ Two Indian families speak different languages
✨ Two regional traditions meet under one mandap
✨ Two religions blend with respect
✨ Two American upbringings reinterpret cultural roots
✨ Two worlds — any worlds — choose love over labels

This is why we chose this niche.
Because fusion isn’t a buzzword.
It’s the lived experience of so many Indian-American couples navigating identity, culture, family, and love — all at once.

Today’s blog touches the real heart of fusion weddings, including:

✨ How wardrobe, rituals & food carry generational meaning
✨ Why family dynamics are the true fusion challenge
✨ What makes these weddings emotionally rich and unforgettable
If you’re planning a fusion or Indian-American wedding — or simply love seeing two worlds become one — this one is for you.
