Four fabulous names in one fabulous evening, what more could you ask for! It was an honor as we were asked to photograph a dinner put on at the Four Seasons Hotel by The Churchill Centre and Museum at the Cabinet War Rooms, London in honor of Bill Marriott with the menu prepared by Chef Michael Mina (Bourbon Steak) himself, who flew in from NY just for the occasion!

The Four Seasons Hotel certainly did not disappoint as the service all around from the wait staff to the presentation of everything they did was just impeccable!

Those in attendance to name a few Laurence Geller, Jonathan Tisch, The Honorable Gordon Smith, Chris Matthews, The Honorable Evan Bayh, The Honorable Susan Collins, The Honorable Judith McHale, The Honorable Mitt Romney, Celia Sandys and of course Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott himself.

The menu (abbreviated of course) consisted of:
Chilled Maine Lobster Salad
Miso-Glazed Chilean Seabass
Mascallan 18 Butterscotch Pot de Creme

It was our pleasure to have been asked to photograph the event. Mr. Marriott is one of the most down to earth individuals that one will ever meet. Modest at best, any of us in the industry who have spent any amount of time at the Marriott hotels know that his employees are representative of who he is as a person.

Congratulations to Mr. J.W. “Bill” Marriott as he was presented with the Leadership Award.

Ann and Ken came out and joined us yesterday in order to get their engagement session in before the coldness really strikes our area. This year it seems like the weather certainly can’t make up it’s mind weather to rain, shine or just turn to gray skies! Even with the drizzles in the morning it was decided that they show must go on and by their session time it was perfect for photos, so happy were we that the weather decided to comply!

We always hear our girls tell the story of how they met each other and this time we asked Ken, learning quickly that they met while at a Brad Paisley concert. Who doesn’t love Brad Paisley, but on top of it to find your life partner there even makes his music a bit more sweeter. Seeing how happy Brad is in his life and how well he is doing just shows that Ann and Ken were meant to be. Perhaps annually they should go see Brad and we will have to tag along!

The time that we love the most about what we do is our “couples time” with our clients. It’s more like a double date than anything as all of us learn so much about what we have in common that was never truly established when we met the first time. We are so happy that out of all the fabulous choices Ann and Ken could choose from to photograph their wedding day that Ann, Ken and Mom too chose us to be there with them. Many thanks to you and we will be seeing you very soon!

UPDATE: Thought we would share the video from Suburban Video:

Anyone ever put a little thought into an “After Shoot”? Well we do an awfully lot here at Regeti’s as we have so much fun with our couples who opt for one of these shoots after their big day. It is more or less a time where we can have fun, be overly creative and let our couples think the unimaginable, creating images that they would have never dreamed of doing on the actual wedding day attire. It often starts as a conceptual shoot and takes flight from there, sometimes literally!

As three girlfriends signed up together we had an awesome time traipsing around town capturing shot after shot of the craziness throughout the whole day. Starting from the early morning with Remona and her girls on the hair and make-up, Bill and Cara with Suburban Video who stayed with us all day up until 11pm until all their coverage was complete and the entire RP Team endlessly shooting till they dropped. LINDA MERRITT!!!! How could we ever forget her as she is always there when we need her with her wonderful bouquets! Thank you, Linda!

Thanks to all the girls for being such good sports and doing whatever was asked of them even if it meant endangering their own lives standing next to and chasing after moving and rumbling trains! It was a blast, everyone who participated had so much fun!

Stay tuned for the upcoming video by the talented team over at Suburban Video!

Ofcourse we had to do these too !

We thank Steele ever so much for sharing her little man with us for a little bit today! Through slides and hayrides we had a bundle of fun with her little one! Trice was certainly on stimulation overload as he got to enjoy every thing amazing that happens and lives on a farm, although the hayride through the mud had to be on the top of his list of favorites ensuring that he will remember the Regeti’s for a lifetime!

Having four of our own it bring’s us great joy to take photos of little ones as we know how important it is to document their growth because before you know it they are going to be heading off to college as we as parents sit back asking where the time went? I felt that more than anything last night at my Aunt Jo’s 60th b-day party. I remember when I was thirteen myself and people I had not seen for sometime would say, “I remember when you were only this tall.” and here I am to my cousins children saying it all over again. History goes on repeating itself in this crazy undying cycle we call life, can’t help but want to treasure every moment you can of it. We hope Steele continues to give us the opportunity of watching Trice grow. It was great spending time with you this afternoon Trice!

We had the honor and pleasure of photographing the baby shower of Sapna and Binder as they anticipate the arrival of their little girl on January 17, 2010! Pink, pink every where there was pink! They had these awesome little favors that were dresses and held silver Ganesh coins hidden underneath. I thought we would tease Jag (Binder’s brother) and dress him up in one to blog, but we thought we will let him slide today as I have already harassed him enough, barely earning myself rights to his confirming me as a friend on Facebook! But thankfully any friend of Srinu’s is a friend of Jag’s so I just got lucky! Binder, I am awaiting the setup of your new FB account as Jag is uninvited right…?

Joking aside! I think that that there was a switch up as they so should have been my brother’s! We love you guys and could not wish you anything less then the best of all the love, peace and happiness the world has to offer, oh and exercise, before you know it that little on is going to be running circles around you while wrapping her Uncle Jag very tightly around her teeny tiny pinky finger! I am sure she is already practicing in there! Best wishes to you and your families!

I forgot to mention what a great job Kalindi & Paresh Shah (Sapna’s Sister and Brother in Law) and Mr. & Mrs. Bhatt (Sapna’s Parents) did with putting together and hosting this awesome baby shower!
