Josh + Alissa puttin on the Ritz!

Josh and Alissa will be getting married next month at the Ritz in Tysons and will be the Regeti’s first ever Jewish affair that they have photographed and boy are we excited! Too bad they did not bring their “Pug”, Vader out with them for today’s session as we would have had a blast with him he was so darned cute in the photos they were sharing today! With their wedding we will be seeing one of our past clients who with be part of their wedding party which makes it even more exciting because all our clients old and new are considered family! If that is not already obvious 😛 Is Alissa not hitting the hotness or what! And Josh he isn’t too bad either… I think at the end of this year we may have to poll our viewers to see which one of our clients win the RP “Holy Hotness Award” it is just too hard as all our clients are just too awesome!

I am a proud roommate, friend, classmate of RSR (Regeti Srinivasa Rao). I know his talent then, but I never knew that people can take on an entirely different career so boldly and turn it into a very successful career. I think when I look back in my life RSR will remain as an enigma for me. What a breathtaking pictures. Keep your good work going RSR, my wishes will be with you for ever.

Planning an Indian or South Asian wedding is supposed to feel joyful.
But for so many brides… it quietly feels heavy.
Heavy with expectations.
Heavy with pressure.
Heavy with guilt for wanting something different — or something simpler.
Heavy with the feeling of being watched instead of supported.
And no one really talks about that part.

This week on South Asian Wedded Life, I shared a conversation that many brides are thinking — but rarely feel allowed to say out loud.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:
“Why does this feel so hard already?”
“Why don’t I feel excited yet?”
“Why does this feel heavier than I expected?”

You’re not broken.
You’re not ungrateful.
And you’re not alone.

This episode isn’t about planning.
It’s about naming the invisible weight brides carry — culturally, emotionally, quietly.

27 years ago this week — on December 9th, 1998 — I met a man who would change the entire trajectory of my life.

Not just because I fell in love with him…
but because loving him meant learning how to live between two worlds.

Today’s SAWL episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded:
“Between Two Worlds: The Real Life of Indian American Couples.”

I’m sharing what it really looked like to be the American girl who married an Indian man…

• waiting almost two years for his family’s blessing
• eloping because love couldn’t wait
• blending identities
• fearing I’d lose myself
• finding belonging slowly, then suddenly
• and reliving the wedding I never had through 1,000 of our brides.

If you’re an Indian American couple, a fusion couple, or someone navigating traditions, expectations, or in-laws from another culture — this episode will make you feel so deeply seen.

It’s tender.
It’s honest.
It’s layered.
It’s us.

Watch the full episode on YouTube @amyregeti — and let me know if any part of it sounds like your story too. ♥️

If posing feels intimidating, you’re not alone — especially in South Asian and fusion weddings where outfits, jewelry, rituals, and expectations stack layer upon layer.

So here are five simple shifts that make a world of difference in your portraits:

1️⃣ Chin slightly forward + down
2️⃣ Soft, relaxed hands
3️⃣ Let your veil/dupatta frame your face
4️⃣ Shift your weight for instant natural elegance
5️⃣ Breathe in… smile out

None of these tips are about perfection.

They’re about presence — showing up in your own skin, your own way, with confidence that doesn’t compete with anyone else’s version of “bridal.”

If you’re planning your wedding and want more guidance — cultural, emotional, or practical — you’ll find it all across:
✨ Rituals & Reflections
✨ REHEARSED (Coming soon!)
✨ RENDERED (coming soon!)
✨ Clarity Calls with Amy
✨ Wedding photography with The Regeti’s

Your wedding deserves preparation that feels empowering… not overwhelming.

Living between two worlds isn’t easy — even after 30 years of it.

One thing I’ve learned being married into an Indian family is this:

You can love a culture deeply… without carrying the emotional weight of all its expectations.

Sometimes we take on roles — mediator, peacemaker, translator — simply because we’re the ones who “get it.”

But here’s your reset for the week:

You’re not responsible for holding everything together alone.
Not every misunderstanding needs your fixing.
Not every expectation needs your yes.

Ask yourself today:

“Is this mine to carry, or did I pick it up because I always do?”
New SAWL blog is live with a perspective only someone living between cultures can offer.

Start the week with clarity and intention. ✨ Link to BOOK can be found in BIO
