When couples begin planning their wedding, one of the most important decisions they make is choosing who will tell their story.

While most people begin their search by looking for a “wedding photographer,” what they’re truly seeking — often without realizing it — is a brand they can trust.


A team that will see them for who they are, not just as a couple, but as a family.


The Difference Between a Brand and a Photography Company

photography company often operates like a booking service — you sign a contract, pay a deposit, and someone is assigned to capture your wedding. The results may be consistent, but the experience often isn’t.

brand, however, is personal. It’s an extension of the people behind it — their philosophy, their passion, and their promise.

When you hire The Regeti’s, you’re not booking “a photographer.” You’re choosing Amy and Srinu Regeti, a husband-and-wife team who have spent nearly two decades documenting weddings that span continents, cultures, and countless love stories.

We are a brand — built not on volume, but on vision.

A Brand Is Personal. A Company Is Transactional.

Our couples always know exactly who will arrive on their wedding day — us.
They know our story: an American girl and an Indian boy who fell in love across cultures, faiths, and families.

That connection allows us to photograph every couple — South Asian or not — with empathy and depth. While our name has become synonymous with South Asian and fusion weddings, that doesn’t define the limits of our work.

We’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of weddings, from traditional Indian celebrations to elegant Catholic ceremonies, vineyard receptions, and classic black-tie soirées.

What unites every one of our clients isn’t culture — it’s connection.

We work with couples who value legacy, emotion, and authenticity.
Those who want their images to feel real, not rehearsed.
Those who believe that wedding photography is about family — not formality.

The Knowledge Behind the Name

Experience matters.


After photographing multi-day South Asian weddings across the U.S. and abroad, we’ve also captured countless Western and interfaith celebrations.

That range gives us a unique perspective — we understand ritual and rhythm, ceremony and sentiment, tradition and individuality.

It’s why our clients trust us to move fluidly between cultures, faiths, and generations. Whether you’re planning a Hindu-Christian fusion, a traditional Sikh wedding, or a non-Indian destination celebration, we approach your day with the same care, artistry, and curiosity that defines our brand.

Our promise remains constant:
To translate your story into digital images that feel honest and true to who you are — not just as a couple, but as a family.

Beyond the Wedding: Our Legacy Work

For us, the story doesn’t end with “I do.”

We’ve watched our couples grow — from wedding days to baby announcements, from maternity portraits to annual family sessions. But here’s something we hold close:

💛 We only offer maternity, portrait, and family sessions to our current and past clients.

Because those sessions are legacy work. They belong to the couples who helped us build ours.

Every family we’ve photographed has played a role in The Regeti’s story. Continuing to document their lives feels less like a service — and more like a full-circle honor.

The Art of Craftsmanship: Albums and Delivery

We believe in making the tangible just as beautiful as the digital.

Every wedding album we design is handcrafted in Italy, personally curated by us to reflect the flow of your story. No templates. No automation. Each page is designed to evoke emotion — every laugh, tear, and stolen glance.

And when your album arrives, it doesn’t come in a brown shipping box. It comes hand-wrapped by us, tied with care, and infused with gratitude. Because we believe your experience shouldn’t end when the gallery goes live — it should continue with how it’s remembered.

Our Next Chapter: Becoming Simply The Regeti’s

As we look toward the future, we’re excited to announce that in 2026, we will officially rebrand from Regeti’s Photography to simply “The Regeti’s.”

Because what we’ve built isn’t just a photography company — it’s a brand that represents two people, one shared vision, and a promise to always deliver above and beyond our clients’ expectations.

Our team will remain small, intentional, and hand-selected — ensuring every couple receives not just photographs, but the full Regeti experience.

This next chapter is our way of honoring the legacy our couples helped us create — a legacy built on trust, artistry, and love.

Closing Reflection

Whether we’re photographing a 600-guest Sikh wedding, a Catholic church ceremony, or an intimate backyard vow renewal — our purpose remains the same:
To honor your story with intention, emotion, and integrity.

Because at the end of the day, photography isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are.

That’s the difference between photographers and The Regeti’s.

    There is someone who greets the guests at almost every Hindu wedding we photograph before they ever see the bride or groom.

Lord Ganesha. ❤️

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, and after more than two decades of photographing Indian and fusion weddings, Ganesha has become one of those details we instinctively look for.

Sometimes he’s grand and surrounded by flowers. Sometimes he’s a small murti quietly placed near the ceremony entrance. But his presence means something: new beginnings, wisdom, prosperity and the removal of obstacles.

And what bigger new beginning is there than marriage?

For our Indian-American and fusion families, we also think there’s something important in this: traditions don’t have to remain frozen in time to remain meaningful.

Celebrate them. Explain them to your children. Let grandparents tell the stories. Blend traditions from both sides. Add the birthday cake if you want to! There is no cultural purity test your family needs to pass.

Tradition survives because we continue carrying it forward—even when the next generation carries it a little differently.

And a Regeti family fun fact? Ganesh isn’t our only birthday today. Our son Brijesh turns 24 while spending his birthday in Peru in the Peace Corps! ❤️

He also has medical school applications out there in the universe, so given Ganesha’s reputation for removing obstacles… we’re just saying, a little birthday favor would be perfectly timed. 😉🙏🏽

Happy 24th Birthday, Brijesh. We love you tremendously and are so proud of you.

And Happy Ganesh Chaturthi from our fusion family to yours.

Different paths. Beautiful together. ❤️
    And she's off! That train is doing ALL the talking. 😍 No one ever really sees the hours of hand-sewn lacework, the fittings, the careful steps down the aisle just to keep it perfect — but oh my goodness, when it unfolds like this? Pure statement piece. This is why we always hang back a beat before the ceremony starts — some of the best storytelling happens in the walk itself.

What detail on your dress (or your partner's outfit) are you most excited for us to capture? Tell us in the comments, or DM us to chat about your big day! 👇
    There's a whole story happening in this one shot. Tara's hands are just resting there, but you can feel the anticipation in them — and meanwhile everything else around her is full throttle, last touches happening, the clock ticking down to "it's time." This is the kind of moment we live for as photographers... the quiet inside the chaos, right before it all begins.

Have a getting-ready moment like this you still think about? Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you're planning your big day and want these details captured too. 💛
    That look on their faces?! The anticipation is REAL as everyone waits on Tara to make her entrance. 😄 You can practically feel the countdown happening in this hallway — flower girls fussing with their dresses, the littlest ring bearer clutching his sippy cup like it's his most important job of the day, and one very serious best man giving us his best "are we doing this or what" face.

This is my favorite kind of chaos to photograph — the in-between moments right before the doors open, when a wedding party of tiny humans (and their very patient grownups) are doing everything they can to hold it together for just a few more minutes. Been shooting these hallway holding patterns for almost 20 years and they never get old.

What's your favorite pre-ceremony moment — the nerves, the giggles, or the "please don't cry" pep talks? Tell me below, or DM us to chat about capturing your own day. 👇
    Tara and Birju got married... and then got MOVING! 🏃‍♀️💨 Fresh off their Hindu ceremony (still glowing in those gorgeous floral garlands!), they had zero minutes to spare before jumping into their Christian ceremony next. Two beautiful traditions, one incredible day, and a timeline tighter than Birju's sherwani buttons!

This is exactly why we love fusion weddings — the joy, the family energy, the sheer logistics of pulling off two ceremonies in one day. Tara and Birju, you crushed it. 🙌

Planning a multi-ceremony celebration of your own? Drop a comment or DM us — we live for this kind of beautiful chaos.
    The second it becomes official 😍 Birju's face here is EVERYTHING — so overwhelmed he couldn't even get his hand up, while Tara was already celebrating with the whole family cheering around them. LOVE IT!

Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do. Ready to capture yours? Send us a DM or book a consult with us!
    The second the last phera ended, Tara obviously was given the intel about the sitting superstition — whoever sits down first "rules the household." You can see the exact moment it registers on her face 😂 Birju clearly wasn't messing around either, mid-scramble to beat her to the chair.

We love catching these split-second moments in between the more serious parts of the ceremony — the laughter, the teasing, the little cultural traditions passed down half-joking, half-serious. Tara embraced every bit of it, and it showed. This is exactly why we never put the cameras down between rituals. Comment below if you've heard of this tradition (or tried to win it at your own wedding) 👇
    Recap of Abigail + Corey's Wedding
    I know, I know — everyone wants candids these days, and we love those too. But look at this moment. Someone asked for this photo. Maybe it was mom. Maybe it was the bride herself, thinking ahead to the day this hangs above the fireplace.

Here's what decades of doing this has taught us: nobody remembers to ask for the posed shots in the moment. They're too busy living the day. That's our job — to know which ones matter before you do, and to make sure you have them when you're looking back in year 10, not just scrolling in year one. 

Whose photo like this do you still have hanging up? 

Tell us in the comments, or DM us if you're planning and want to talk through what shots matter most for your family.
