Regeti’s Blog »

Quick birthday wishes to Mr. Regeti himself today as we celebrate along with Thanksgiving! Here at the Regeti house we have so many things to be grateful for, but for us first and foremost is our 4 wonderful children. Everyday I have a moment that goes by where I think of where our lives would be without them. They are the reason we get up in the morning and the reason we have at least a good long laugh every single day, sometimes even a good cry now and again just thinking how fast they are growing and knowing that we can’t keep them small forever.

Another thing that Srinu and I have to be grateful for is our family and the friends that we have made personally and professionally in 2008 that have helped us maintain and continue on the path of success that God has graciously given to us. For all of this we thank the Lord above. With that said we would like to share with you our prayer on this very blessed Thanksgiving Day:

Our Father in Heaven, 

We give thanks for the pleasure 

Of gathering together for this occasion. 

We give thanks for this food 

Prepared by loving hands. 

We give thanks for life, 

The freedom to enjoy it all 

And all other blessings. 

As we partake of this food, 

We pray for health and strength for this family and pets

To carry on and try to live as You would have us. 

Our Heavenly Father.

This for us will be one of the most memorable Thanksgiving dinners for us as this year we had decided to begin our own family traditions. For 29 years I have spent Thanksgiving with my parents, and finally after a lot of thought and consideration we decided as a family this year to take part in starting our own tradition within our home, something our children as they grow will have to look forward to when they have children. I will admit that I missed my Mother terribly today, but seeing our family sharing in the task of preparing dinner and being able to spend more real time and less drive time was something that to us was truly priceless today.

Okay so those of you that cannot speak Italian are probably wondering what on earth does that say? Well in Italian it says, “My darling, I love you.” We would like to think that almost all of our couples who book us, do so for our style and sense of imagery that we create. We would also like to think that almost all of our couples have something in common with us as well…. their passion about each other. Srinu and I not only are passionately in love with one another, but are passionate about capturing that within our couples and granted we may have to help some of our couples a little more than others when it comes to capturing how they feel about one another, but Wendy and Salvatore are complete naturals! It just came so easy for the two of them to convey to the lens how much they truly love each other. Pleasantly enough the two of them have been searching high and low for a photographer to photograph their e-session and even more surprisingly and flattering they have been watching us for 1.5 years plus and every time they kept coming back to our site unable to find anyone who compares. We just wanted to let you both know that meant a lot to us, to hear you say that. We work so hard to ensure that not only are our clients the right fit for us, but that we are the right fit for them too!

With so many things to post and so little time to post them in we wanted to get this one out while it was still hot off the press! We had the pleasure of photographing Chef Eric Ripert (Le Bernardin Cookbook: Four-Star Simplicity) and his succulent entrée that made it’s debut in front of some of the areas finest event planners this evening. The Ritz invited these talented individuals to enjoy in the temptation of their taste buds with Chef Eric Ripert as they tried out the menu.

We had approximately less then 15 minutes to sweep through and grab all the shots we needed from the dinner party. We were certainly impressed by the talent and vision that was brought forth by GreenWorks within the florals. However, with their impressive client list there should be no doubt that they “ROCK”! (Gaylord National at National Harbor, Willard InterContinental Hotel, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, The Sofitel Hotel and other notable Social, Political and Legal Corporations.)

It was a pleasure working with Debrajean and Audrey over at the Ritz Carlton Washington DC. We look forward to having a wonderful working relationship with them both! The room was simply stunning, fly, and totally sexy!

Although they tried to put off their session we lured them in any way, scared them by frost bite, and very happy that we did! I don’t think even in Bollywood that there is currently a hotter couple than Anjali and Sunil! As we spent a little time roaming the town of Warrenton with the two of them this past weekend we totally enjoyed learning all about how they met and how their planning process is coming along. When you get down to it, it’s amazing to see how little the world truly is and who knows who! Anjali and Sunil we are totally excited to be photographing your wedding in April!

Congrats to our bride and groom of this past January! Carrie and Jim have a beautiful 6 week old adorable baby girl named “Campbell” who is just as squeezable in real as she is in these photos. The greatest part of our job is the fact that we get to watch our couples and their little ones grow!
