Regeti's Blog »

What an AWESOME ~ AWESOME ~ AWESOME wedding this was! Not only was it because Lily and Jeff certainly win an award of some type for having one of the most original wedding receptions that we have ever seen, but they raised over $3K from their wedding reception and donated all of it to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Now tell us that aint’ AWESOME! Add a little bit of the Wedding Wire team to it and you bet it was one hell of a bash! Talk about partying like no bodies business… this will be logged in the history of Regeti’s most unique! But of course with Jeff being the CTO of Wedding Wire we would not have expected anything less out of the two of them as for any of you who have ever been to the Wedding Wire office even though there is some serious business and growth happening over there that team likes to party!

Lily and Jeff… so where do the Regeti’s start in about Lily and Jeff outside of Lily stalking us on cruise ships and chasing after us with hotdogs Unfortunately we did not have an e-session with Lily and Jeff, but we were ever so lucky to have been referred to them by our amazing past bride Mrs. Daisy (Big kisses to her for the wonderful referral!) who we also were able to see again during Jeff and Lily’s wedding as well. Â These two will be in our hearts forever as their personalities and generosity just gleams through. Jeff is totally the quieter one while at the same time as odd as it may sound is very outgoing. Lily exuberates this awesome energy to everyone around her just by smiling at you (obvious from the photos below that she is totally infectious!). There would be days that Lily would just send us random drive by emails that would brighten up my day as she thought about something or had a question to ask. With all the planning and preparations her day went off pretty flawless and we were so happy that in the end they heeded our advice about their photos as we certainly have a few keepers Oh and Sunny (Yep that Officiant hiding back there is Mr. Sunny Ganguly) his very first time performing a wedding ceremony! Who better to do it then a good friend, right? He was awesome, better than any we have seen till now big recommendations for his services, we hope Lily gives him an awesome review on Wedding Wire!

Lily and Jeff with all that aside we just want to let you know that we were truly honored that you chose Srinu and I to photograph your wedding, we know and understand that there are a lot of talented photographers in the Metro area, but we were graced with the honor and that truly does mean so much to us. We wish you both a very long, happy and very prosperous life together… as we approach our 10 year wedding anniversary we can truly say that with every year the love gets stronger and the years so much better! Keep in touch, we love you guys!

As many of our viewers know we only take 25 weddings a year although our studio does up to 75 in a given year between all three of our husband and wife shoot teams. It is our pleasure to blog our first wedding that will start off the new year of 2010, that of Jared and Jennifer!

What more could we ask for going into our new year of events but to kick it off with their big wonderful celebration of love??? We tend to worry a little when we don’t meet the bride and groom at the consultation as we get concerned about whether they like having their photos taken (Not this couple! Jennifer and Jared were just haming it up for us!) and often enough when the brides not present we are not always comfortable blocking off the date as we just aren’t sure sometimes as to whether photography is a top priority. Well for Jennifer and Jared we just fell in love with Jennifer’s parents and hit it off almost immediately making it impossible not to be totally SUPER EXCITED about their wedding day before even meeting the happy couple. Thanks to mom and dad we were able to see photos of the two of them on mom’s phone to confirm just how photogenic they truly are.

As we met up with Jared and Jennifer at the Four Season’s in Georgetown Jennifer was equipped with a wardrobe to last her through the rest of the month on through half of November! Gladly enough we were able to reduce it to two selections. It was awesome to hear how the two of them were ultimately childhood friends who became best of friends to finally becoming life partners and “Best Friends Forever”, it is truly a novel in the making From the House of Sweden to Starbucks (Jennifer loves Starbucks while Jared would much rather have some good old D&D (Dunkin Doughnuts) coffee, but as love so has it he happily waits in the line to make Jennifer happy!) onto M Street and back to the Four Season’s we all had a wonderful time getting to know one another as we laughed the whole evening away… very well making their e-session one of the longest ever with the Regeti’s, it was an absolute PLEASURE to meet and photograph the two of you today!

Long time waiting! It seems like forever since we spent time with Jill and Scott. Now to see Kendall getting so big and Jill and Scott as parents it is so funny that they are on the flip side of things! Don’t we remember the first one and now we sit and watch all four of them interact with one another and go from being the world’s best of friends to sibling rivalry! Parenting is certainly the one thing in our lives that we would never change… sure if we had a second chance we would change a few things that we have done, but all in all I think we are on a path to succeed!

We so miss you guys and cannot wait for the day when you move back here with us. It was great laughing about the “back when’s” and talking about the “wait until’s”, but it was just wonderful to catch up with old friends. Here are some photo’s that we took of the three of them while venturing off into the “Pumpkin Patch” in Chantilly (I think!). Kendall was hysterical to watch as he pushed himself through all the pumpkins trying to lift each one up till finally he found a couple his own size to throw around!

We never thought we would get their session through considering the rain and scheduling conflicts, but with much cooperation today it happened and Srinu and I had an absolute blast with Melanie and Adam!

Melanie has a smile that can light up the blue sky like the sun and Adam is the fuel that fire’s that smile for hours on end. We simply can’t even put into words how much we truly enjoyed photographing the two of them on the Georgetown Campus. It is so beautiful out there that it almost had us convinced that we want to go back to school, then we realized that with four kids we may not have much luck getting one of those awesome spaces on campus (where the parties happen ;-P ).

Thankfully all our wonderful couples are going to keep us forever young as we re-live ourselves through them! Who would ever believe that all these wonderful shots were taken on this beautiful campus during what felt like rush hour over there… enjoy!

First off thank you to Sonali, Dev and their families for the very delightful sweets they brought for us from NC, the whole family enjoyed them!

It was great to meet the family of this fabulous duo as we knew from doing their e-session that they were going to be one of our favorites to work with this year, not that all our clients aren’t wonderful! But our e-sessions often give us insight on their families and friends that will be in attendance, which makes for all the fun and wonderful photos!

Sonali and Dev thanks so much for choosing Srinu and I to photograph your wedding and all of our wonderful past clients who sent them our way. I know that this couple happened to touch so many others that were familiar with our work which just kept leading them back to us, please know that for all of you there is a special place in our hearts. Every image we take leads us back to a memory of that very moment and because of our brides and grooms we will have many to cherish over the years.

Now, who would like to see the stunning couple? Shall we?…
