Tradition vs. Trends: Are South Asian Weddings Losing Their Meaning?

Are South Asian weddings becoming more about Instagram-worthy moments than meaningful traditions? In this episode of the South Asian Wedding Guru podcast, I’m diving deep into the tension between preserving cultural rituals and embracing modern trends. We’ll explore how to strike the perfect balance, why traditions matter, and how couples can create weddings that honor their heritage while reflecting their unique personalities.

💡 In this episode, we’ll cover:

The rise of modern trends in South Asian weddings and their impact on traditions.

Why do some families feel like rituals are being sidelined?

How to incorporate meaningful traditions in a modern wedding.

Stories and examples of couples who’ve struck the perfect balance.

✨ Whether you’re a traditionalist, a trendsetter, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with insights to help you plan a wedding that feels authentic to you.

What happens after “I do”?

For nearly two decades, we’ve photographed South Asian weddings across the world — but somewhere along the way, we realized something was missing.

There wasn’t a space where couples — especially those living between cultures — could talk about what comes next.

The laughter, the learning, the love that keeps growing long after the wedding day fades.

That’s where SAWL – South Asian Wedded Life was born.
🎙️ A podcast. A blog. A movement.

Created by us — Amy & Srinu Regeti — for couples like us, and for everyone who has ever wondered how to:
💛 Honor tradition while embracing individuality
💛 Blend two faiths, two languages, or two worlds
💛 Keep love alive amid weddings, in-laws, parenting, and life

SAWL is part celebration, part real talk, and part therapy for every couple navigating the beautiful chaos of South Asian-American married life.

Because behind every vibrant wedding lies a deeper story — one of balance, belonging, and becoming.

Because your story matters — your love, your laughter, your lessons.

Welcome to SAWL — South Asian Wedded Life.
Where every story is ours. 💛
Our Approach — Always Intentional, Always Personal

Whether it’s a three-day Indian celebration or a one-day DC wedding, our approach never changes. We walk into every event with a keen eye, a calm heart, and the intent to honor your story.

We believe great photography isn’t about style alone — it’s about understanding people. It’s about knowing when to quietly observe and when to step forward and guide. It’s about anticipating moments before they happen and capturing them with depth and honesty.

Our goal has always been simple: to create images that feel alive — that let you relive your day, hear the laughter, and feel the love each time you open your album.
