Chayanika and Neal – Beautiful Indian Bengali Wedding (2022), Hyatt Regency, Chesapeake Bay, Cambridge Maryland

Chayanika and Neal’s beautiful Indian Bengali Wedding at the  Hyatt Regency, Chesapeake Bay, Cambridge Maryland

Wedding Venue: Hyatt Regency, Chesapeake Bay, Golf Resort, Spa and Marina, Cambridge, Maryland

With a specialty in South Asian weddings, our lives are anything but dull, similar to that of the imagery we create – as much as we see social media nullifying the images, muting the colors, and blowing out the highlights, it is something you won’t run into over here with the Regeti’s nothing forced, faked, or forged is how we call it, colors never pushed but 100% true to what they were and captured in every awesome way possible. Chayanika, with her wedding atelier selection, left nothing to the imagination as every detail was prominent and her culture and heritage conveyed – her poses show that she dreamed of some of these shots for a lifetime. We authentically captured each of them as she wrapped up her getting ready. There is something about the virtue that shines through in her smile; it just places you in a love lock that you least expected.

The richness of this wedding in colors will be one that will stick with us for a lifetime whenever we look back on some of our favorite moments in our career; Neal did not disappoint as he let the sindoor in all its beauty rain down on Chayanika during their ceremony nuptials/rituals. Perhaps one of my favorite moments among many of the Hindu ceremonial aspects to be appreciated. The pavilion at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge has never radiated so much beauty – cheers to trendsetting for these two – may you forever be blessed with many happy days!

That hug right before Alekhya walks out the door. This is Vidai — the moment a bride leaves her parents' home as a daughter and steps into her new life. I've photographed hundreds of these and they never get easier to watch. Look at her uncle's face in the background, trying so hard to hold it together. That's the whole wedding in one frame, honestly.

If you're planning a celebration with moments like this one, I'd love to be the one documenting them for you. Drop a comment or DM us to chat about your date.
That look she's giving him right there? That's not a 'pose for the camera' look. That's a 'I can't believe this is actually happening' look. We caught it walking down a path at the Sikh Foundation of Virginia, surrounded by trees, before all the ceremony chaos even started.

The details here are everything — his red turban matching her dupatta, that maroon stole with the tassels swinging as they walked, her nath catching the light. This is the kind of in-between moment we live for, the one nobody choreographs. Tell us in the comments what detail catches your eye first, and if you're planning a Sikh or Punjabi wedding, DM us — we'd love to talk through your day.
That half-second before the twirl settles — Alekhya's lehenga still mid-spin, and Amar just... watching her. Not posing, not performing for the camera. Just watching his new wife catch the evening light in red and gold.

This is why we always build in time for portraits. The ceremony is beautiful, but moments like this — quiet, unscripted, a little giddy. 

Planning a Sikh ceremony and want photos that feel like this? Drop a comment or DM us — we'd love to hear about your day.
There's a reason we always try to get this angle during an Anand Karaj — shooting from behind the Guru Granth Sahib, with the granthi in the frame, so you see exactly what the couple sees: the entire sangat, seated together, witnessing. Alekhya and Amar are mid-Laav here, the moment where the groom leads and the bride follows around the Guru Granth Sahib, four times, each round a vow. You can feel the room's attention even in a still photo.

This is why we love photographing Sikh weddings — the symbolism is so visual and so intentional. Thinking about a Sikh ceremony for your own wedding? Send us a DM, we'd love to talk through how we'd cover it.
Everyone faces forward during an Anand Karaj — toward the Guru Granth Sahib, toward the moment being witnessed — so some of the most beautiful details happen in the one direction no one else is looking. That embroidery on the back of Alekhya's lehenga? Most of the room never saw it like this. We did.

There's something about photographing from behind the couple during a Sikh ceremony — you catch the whole sangat, the colors, the stillness of people sitting shoulder to shoulder in prayer. It's a different kind of portrait. Quieter. Bigger than just the two of them.

This is the moment everyone's eyes skip right past because they're waiting for the big kiss or the garland exchange, won't be happening here folks!— but this is still the good stuff. The palla draped and placed in the bride's hand, her chuda bangles catching the light. It's such a small gesture, but it's literally the moment she takes hold of the journey they're starting together.

At Sikh ceremonies we always tell couples: don't rush the hands. The jewelry, the fabric, the grip — it all tells a story the wide shot can't. Alekhya and Amar's ceremony at the Sikh Foundation of Virginia was full of these in-between moments, and I'm so glad we caught this one.

Given that Alekhya's father is no longer with us, her mother instead gently places the other end of the Palla, into the cupped hands of the bride. Alekhya, eyes down, soaking in the quiet before everything became official, while her new father-in-law watched the whole thing unfold with the kind of smile you can't fake.

This is what we love about shooting Sikh ceremonies — the formality of the moment never erases the small, human gestures happening right alongside it. We're always watching for these in-between beats because years from now, this is the photo that gets pointed at first.

There's a moment right before the words come out — eyes closed, hand lifted, like he's reaching for the note before it exists yet. This ragi was leading shabad kirtan at Alekhya and Amar's Sikh wedding ceremony, and I love how you can see the tabla player's hand already waiting, perfectly in sync, like they've done this a thousand times together (they probably have).

This is the part of a wedding day people don't always think to document — not the couple, not the decor, but the musicians who carry the entire spiritual weight of the ceremony on their voices. You can see decades of practice in that harmonium, worn smooth at the keys. That's not something you stage. That's something you notice.

That look. Right in the middle of the ceremony, surrounded by family, and Amar still can't help but grin at Alekhya like no one else is in the room. We caught this at the Sikh Foundation of Virginia, and moments like this are exactly why we never put the cameras down during the ceremony — the real stuff happens in the glances, not just the rituals.

Sikh wedding ceremonies have such a beautiful rhythm to them, the quiet focus, the hymns, and then these little bursts of pure joy between the couple. We live for catching both.

This is the kind of moment you have to be watching for — not posed, not repeated. Amar kneeling before the Guru Granth Sahib, kirpan in hand, the whole room holding its breath for a second. The maroon turban against that cream sherwani, the flowers banking the altar like they're standing guard too.

These quiet, reverent seconds inside a Sikh ceremony are some of my favorite to photograph — there's so much weight and history in them that you can't fake. Planning a Sikh wedding and want someone who knows how to catch these moments without getting in the way? Send us a DM, we'd love to talk.
The room is empty, the guests haven't arrived yet, and these little gold baskets are already doing their job, hold the Karah Parshad which is handed out to attendees - it is much more than just a dessert; it embodies the core principles of Sikhism. This is the kind of detail I find myself photographing before anyone else even walks in — because the care put into a Sikh wedding goes so far beyond the ceremony itself. At the Sikh Foundation of Virginia, hospitality isn't an afterthought, it's woven into everything, right down to how the napkins are set out.

These are the moments that remind me why I show up early to every wedding. Want us there for yours from the very first detail? Send us a DM or book a consult — link in bio.
Before the shabad even starts, there's this moment of quiet — flowers arranged just so, everyone finding their seats, the whole room settling into what's about to happen. These blush roses were part of Alekhya and Amar's day at the Sikh Foundation of Virginia, and I always make a point to slow down and capture the details like this before the ceremony energy picks up. They matter just as much as the big moments.

Some of my favorite frames from a wedding day aren't the big moments — they're the quiet textures in between. This soft white fringe falling across hand-embroidered paisley fabric, caught during Alekhya and Amar's Sikh ceremony, is the kind of detail most people don't really give a second thought too, Chaur Sahib, the ceremonial whisk. But it tells its own story: generations of craftsmanship, layers of tradition, and their Rumala Sahib, one of the little things that make their wedding day feel truly theirs.

I always tell couples — look up. The ceiling details at ceremonies like this one are never an afterthought, and this cluster of gold and pearl tassels hanging from the canopy at Alekhya and Amar's Sikh wedding was one of those small moments I couldn't walk past without photographing. Every strand catching the light a little differently, swaying so slightly you'd miss it if you weren't paying attention.

This is the kind of detail that gets lost in the rush of a wedding day but means everything when you look back years later and remember exactly where you were standing. Got a ceremony space full of details like this? Tell me about it in the comments, or DM me to chat about your date.
That moment right before the ceremony even starts, when two families fold into one. The dhol is still going in the background, the garlands haven't even settled yet, and these two are just... holding on. You can tell there is a bit of happiness in this union — this isn't a polite greeting, this is relief and joy all mixed together.

This is what I mean when I say the baraat isn't just an entrance, it's a union. Got a Sikh ceremony or baraat coming up? DM us — we'd love to be there for these moments.
Before the shabad even begins, this is the moment I always watch for — the elders, barefoot on the path to the Gurdwara, hands clasped the exact same way without even realizing it. There's a quiet conversation happening here that isn't for the camera, it's just two family elders settling into the weight and joy of the day ahead.

Twenty years of shooting Sikh weddings and I still catch my breath at moments like this. The crisp white, the navy turbans, the stillness before the ceremony gets loud with music and blessings — it's my favorite kind of photo because it's the one families didn't know they needed until they see it. Tell me, whose dad or uncle does this remind you of? 👇
Before Alekhya and Amar even stepped in for their Anand Karaj, this was happening outside the Sikh Foundation of Virginia — guests barefoot, phones up, waiting for the doors to open. I love this little moment because it's not posed, it's not the 'main event,' but it tells you everything about how much this day mattered to everyone standing there. Someone's filming for a grandparent who couldn't make the trip. Someone's just excited. That's the stuff I'm always watching for.

The colors alone — dusty lavender next to coral next to crimson — guests don't usually think about how beautifully they're dressing for each other, but they are.
