The Moment You’ll Never Forget — Captured Perfectly by The Regeti’s

You’ve found the one. You’ve picked the ring. Now all that’s left is asking the biggest question of your life: “Will you marry me?”

Whether you’re planning to propose on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, at sunset in Old Town Alexandria, or tucked away on a quiet vineyard in Leesburg — one thing is certain: you’ll want every second captured beautifully and discreetly. That’s where The Regeti’s come in.

For over two decades, Amy and Srinu Regeti have been the go-to photographers for couples ready to take the next step — specializing in South Asian, fusion, and multicultural celebrations throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. But before the big wedding day comes one of the most unforgettable chapters: the proposal.


Why Choose The Regeti’s for Your Proposal or Engagement Session

There are plenty of photographers, but few who understand the heart behind this moment like we do.
When you work with The Regeti’s, you’re not just hiring photographers — you’re bringing on a husband-and-wife team who have been exactly where you are. We know how much thought, excitement, and nerves go into this day — and how to make it effortless for you.

Here’s what makes our approach different:

  1. Two Angles, One Vision
    We cover every proposal together. That means two photographers capturing every emotion from different perspectives — the setup, the surprise, the reaction, and the joy that follows.
  2. Naturally Undetectable
    As a couple ourselves, we blend right in. Whether we’re pretending to be tourists, guests, or simply out on a stroll — no one suspects a thing. That allows us to document every detail without giving away your big moment.
  3. A Seamless Experience from “Yes!” to “I Do.”
    Many of our proposal clients become our wedding couples. And when they do, we gift them the full cost of their proposal session toward their wedding photography package — a little thank-you for trusting us with your story from the very beginning.
  4. Tailored Packages for Every Vision
    Whether you want a 30-minute hidden capture or a fully curated engagement session afterward, our proposal rate card is designed to fit your vision, location, and timeline.

Every proposal is different — some are planned months ahead, others just days. But the common thread? The way she looks at you the moment she says “yes.” That’s the image you’ll want to relive forever — and it’s the one we promise to deliver.

We’re not just ready.
We’re passport ready.

Because one of the best decisions you’ll ever make — aside from the person standing in front of you —
will be choosing 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.
