Beautiful sums up the whole day, well almost! Totally felt like we were completely on vacation from the awesome private accomodations that the two took care of for us to include a welcome basket of goodies and information for a few hand picked places to eat locally as Srinu and I do not eat meat on Saturday’s, all the way to having our very own seating card and table at the reception! Talk about feeling more like a guest, we were totally amazed at the warmth and love that these two showed us on what was their very special day. Meals are always an awkward part of the day for most of us as we certainly would not want to impose that the couple must feed their vendors it is certainly appreciated and even more so when they don’t give you what most “caterers” call a “vendor meal” if most of the brides saw the option, they themselves would not eat it. To say the least most of us are not too thrilled when provided a “vendor meal” option, it’s better to simply eat the protein bars in the bag if you know what I mean. Enough on that! Certainly don’t want it to seem like a rant, I just don’t think many of the clients are aware of what is even given.

Back to the happy couple and extremely happy photographers who wished they could have stayed in Lancaster for just a few more days. We have lots of stuff still to post but wanted to get this wedding up as we still have the one from last weekend to blog!

Dave and Kim radiate their own love for one another to everyone around them. It is so strong that you can feel it by walking into the same room as them both. You can certainly see the closeness in the family as you look through the images. One of our favs being when Kim’s Dad was trying to love her up with some Daddy kisses! David was ever so sweet as you watched him on the bench with the boys reciting his vows that he had memorized to Kimberly’s oldest nephew… he was so nervous, yet so confident about what he had to say to her, it was tear jerking to say the least. The whole evening through was full of surprises from David’s Dad singing their first dance song and Kimberly’s father stripping for everyone, kind of anyway, he had underneath this shirt that said, I survived Kimberly and David’s wedding and the date, or something close to that… hearing her Dad tell everyone that they had Kimberly thinking she was adopted for quite some time when she was younger… it was a hoot! We certainly hope that the two of them keep in touch with us here after to share their adventures as David may enter into politics, who knows he could very well be our next President one day, watch out world!

On a side note: The young lady below with the box of cigars … that is a bride of ours Karen from 2006! Has not changed one bit! It was so great seeing her and Mike after what feels like forever!

As we are receiving a few emails that many of you are awaiting an update there certainly are a few pending posts that we will be posting shortly! The Regeti’s are back from PA and plan to blog sometime this evening (RP time) after we are all caught up ;-P !

We are out of the office and off to Lancaster, PA for a little bit of family time with our children at Dutch Wonderland before photographing David and Kim’s wedding on Sunday at Riverdale Manor in Lancaster. Stay tuned for a recap of our weekend when we return on Tuesday.

Have a wonderful weekend!
The Regeti’s and the “RP” Team

R&R Catering provides what I believe are quarterly tastings of their menu offerings. We were pleased to accept the invite to be the official photographer to cover the tasting as they typically have only one of each vendor on site to allow the brides who have RSVP’d through their website to attend and be able to meet and greet with vendors at the same time. It gives us the opportunity to allow brides and mother’s-of-the-brides to be able to freely glance through some of our materials as well as have the opportunity to ask any questions that they would like to, in a more relaxed and enjoyable environment, where better than the Meridian House! Talk about stunning, that is this venue all summed up in one word. It always amazes us at how quickly catering staff members can flip a room let alone a venue! Here is just a sampling of our own to share with those of you who may have missed it and those of you who are wishing they had a little bit more on their plate!

Okay many apologies for the delay in posting as we have had many things happening here at Regeti’s! Many exciting things to officially announce to include our new location! The Regeti’s are growing, our expansion proves it!

We have lots to blog about but tonight we are going to give the spot light to Josh and Shejal, one of the most happiest married couples we have had the pleasure of working with!

As many of us probably were watching the weather report together I am sure everyone knows that hurricane Hanna swept through the east coast and let me tell you that we were worried!!! Out of all the weddings that this could have happened to, it happened to Shejal and Josh who planned out just about everything possible with their wonderful coordinator Claudia Lutman to ensure a flawless affair, little did any of us realize that “God” above at any rate can not be purchased, the one little detail that we did not imagine could take place is a HURRICANE! Being in Baltimore and right near the Harbor the winds were ridiculous. Upon arriving to Shejal’s bridal suite at the Colonnade Inn you could see in her face that she was feeling a bit stressed and worried about the weather considering that their wedding was to take place under this beautiful massive tent at the Evergreen Museum and it was just pouring down non-stop. By the time we began taking group shots and formals it did however let up a bit until we arrived on site at Evergreen then another phase came in shortly after and calmed once more, just after Josh finished coming in and right before Shejal began to take her walk to meet Josh it began to pour for what was thankfully the very last time for that day! As the wind pounded back and forth on the side walls of the tent, I don’t think anyone really noticed as the two proceeded into a fused Hindu-Christian ceremony. Josh as he said his vows began to break as he briefly regrouped and carried on through to the end. Many would think that seeing a wedding almost every weekend out of the year would cause a person to become numb to their surroundings, however I think that we would beg to differ. We are so much aware of everything around us and the love that is so strong within the air that it almost could be bottled and labeled “love” as corny as that may sound. When they were announced and took on the dance floor it was like watching “High School Musical” they make such music together as you watched them dance in beat with one another as Josh lip sang the words and Shejal grooved along side of him. It was enough to make one put down the camera and grab the popcorn and soda pop and hope that they never stopped. These, ladies and gentlemen, are the moments we shoot for, these are the weddings that throw our own hearts into overdrive and inspire our own love to grow, so when some say that you can become numb to it… I think that it is safe to say that love is like wisteria it just grows so rapidly and can consume a person so much that it becomes more of a high, as wedding photographers that is addictive, we say bring it on!

Thanks to Shejal and Josh for entrusting us with the documentation for their wedding day and to Claudia Lutman for sending such an awesome referral our way!
