Your hosts

Meet Amy and Srinu Regeti

Known professionally as The Regeti's, Amy and Srinu have spent two decades photographing South Asian and multicultural weddings across the country — and living an intercultural marriage of their own.

After years of watching couples pour everything into a single day, they built The SAWL Society for everything that comes after it: the marriage, the families, the culture carried forward, and the new traditions created along the way.
