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.
Here are a couple of video clips if you are interested: PART – 1 |PART – 2 | PART – 3
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!
As we arrived to this private residence in St. Micheals, Maryland (Easton) we were greeted by Amaryllis’ beautiful arrangements perched upon the entrance columns sending chills down your spine with suspense that something wonderful was going to take place, very soon. We pulled up to the house as Rick’s (Amaryllis) team was very busily making final preparations within this tiny beautiful Chapel that had been constructed in every perfect way possible from the lighting to location. Mikel did not miss a beat with the details regardless of how short her notice was for planning the grandest day of the beginning of their lives. Right down to the little high heel shoe protectors!
Organic and pure are these two in it’s most richest truest form of the very words. Mikel and I hit it off almost immediately over the phone and needless to say we are certainly happy that her and David decided to use us as their wedding photographers. Not only did we get some great shots, but we love being part of events that are so real. Real in the sense that the couple never loses touch with what truly matters and that in the end is family. It is unmistakable to see how in love these two truly are… as Mikel look’s up to David and gets this joyous and inibreated in love look about her. While David’s love for her shows through his touch and glance towards Mikel, whether it is from across the room or while his hand is on her hip, they are both completely contagious to everyone around them.
When Mikel contacted me literally 2 weeks back for their wedding date of Nov. 1st I wasn’t sure whether or not she was serious… within 24 hours she had made her deposit and sent over her contract and that was when we realized it was definitely happening. That Sunday itself we did a site visit to walk through the course of events, possible back up plans and to talk about what was important to them to have captured on this most important day. This is a couple and a family in which family is everything to them, judging by the photos you can see how genuinely they all love each other, this family has not only melted, but has blended together so well that you can’t tell who is who. We are honored that we were present to document history in the making between this dynamic duo…
Mikel, David, and children we wish you all so much love and happiness that one family can possibly endure. We can’t wait to watch everyone grow!
As the Regeti’s resume their normal posting schedule, Happy Halloween to everyone! We hope that you had as much fun as we did. Ben and Jess (Our Associate Team, more about them this upcoming week!) came over and we rocked the candy bags! Oh, do I remember being a kid and my parents giving me the routine quote of “We have to check your bags to make sure that no one put anything bad in them.” Yeah right, goodness we were SUCKERS! Now history has a way of repeating itself as I steal the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and Jess’ steals some Nerds! What fun would Halloween truly be if traditions were not carried on 
For the first time this year all the kids were able to pick their costumes with only one rule to be applied, okay well two:
(1.) Nothing violent or with lethal weapons.
(2.) Nothing gory or that involves blood and guts.
I think we did a fine job as eveyone picked their own individual characters. The funnest part is searching the blog for our past “Halloween” (enter this into the search) photos and seeing how much they have grown and are becoming independent individuals. That in itself is scary and I say “Boo!”.
LOVE PINK !!!
