Am I the only one who watches for this? Every single bride has this one moment under the four pillars where she just... drifts. Eyes down, hands still, somewhere else entirely for a few seconds. I always wonder what's running through her mind right there.

If you're a bride who remembers that exact feeling and you're willing to tell me what you were thinking, I would love to hear it. Drop it in the comments or DM me — we love to collect all these little stories.

@sjsevents @ritzcarltontysonscorner
Hours of sitting still while this artwork gets created — and that's not even counting all the time spent planning and debating the design beforehand! There's a whole ritual to henna: the patience, the skill of the artist, and that hope that it dries deep and dark because tradition says that means something good for the marriage.

I love catching these quiet in-between moments on getting-ready day — mehndi still fresh, your bridesmaids in search of the lotion in an effort to ease placing them on. Did you hide your fiancé's name somewhere in your design? Tell me in the comments — I want to know if he spotted it right away! And if you're planning a wedding and want a photographer who notices these little details too, send us a DM.

@sjsevents @ritzcarltontysonscorner
Everyone talks about the lehenga (rightfully so, it's a whole production) but let's talk about the sherwani for a second. The embroidery, the buttons, the fabric selection that has to complement the bride's outfit without competing with it - that's real thought and real time. Hanging it on a wall for a pretty shot doesn't tell that story though. What tells the story is Dad's hands doing up those buttons, that quiet minute before everything gets loud. We always look for it.

WHAT’S IN A PORTRAIT?

Somewhere along the way, the traditional bridal portraits have started disappearing.

Wedding photography became more candid, editorial and movement-driven—and we love all of that. But the portrait should never become collateral damage to a trend.

Long before photography, families commissioned painted portraits to preserve a person for generations. Photography changed who had access to that privilege, but not its purpose.

These are legacy photographs.

That’s why we believe every bride AND groom deserves dedicated portrait time on the wedding timeline—in addition to editorial images, candids, couples portraits and family formals.

There’s another reason we protect this time.

For a bride, everything is finally on. Hair. Makeup. Jewelry. The outfit chosen months ago. And before the doors open, the baraat begins and the beautiful chaos takes over, she gets a few minutes to slow down.

To breathe.
To take it in.
To simply be the bride.

Then we make the portrait.

Because 50 years from now, someone may hold this photograph and say:

“That was my mother.”
“That was my grandmother.”
“Look at her.”

Some photographs aren’t made for a feed.

They’re made for a family.

@sjsevents @ritzcarltontysonscorner
Some details deserve more than a quick photograph.

Wedding rings are one of them.

For many of our Indian-American and fusion couples, the rings are actually part of the blending of traditions that makes their wedding uniquely theirs.

The wedding ring as we commonly recognize it in America is deeply rooted in Western wedding tradition. The circle has represented continuity and eternity for centuries, and the exchange of rings eventually became one of the most recognizable symbols of marriage in Western culture. 

And we love watching our couples fold that tradition right alongside everything else.

A mangalsutra.
Sindoor.
Thali.
Toe rings.
Sacred threads.
Garlands.
And these rings.

Different traditions. Different histories. All carrying meaning into the same marriage.

Which is also why we believe the rings deserve more than simply being placed into the obligatory overhead photograph with the invitation, shoes, perfume and jewelry.

Yes, we photograph that too.

But we also want this.

A photograph where the rings themselves become the subject.

Because years from now, these little pieces of metal will have lived an entire life with you. They’ll acquire scratches. Maybe a stone will be reset. A band may eventually be resized. They’ll travel, wash dishes, hold babies, build careers, weather difficult seasons and hopefully still be sitting on those same hands decades from now.

That makes this photograph considerably more sentimental than it may appear today.

Wedding photography isn’t just about proving everything was there.

Sometimes it’s about recognizing what deserves to be remembered on its own.

And these absolutely do.

@sjsevents @ritzcarltontysonscorner
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.

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. 💛 @tarab413

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. 👇 @tarab413

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. @tarab413
