Amy & Srinu.
A familiar face
behind the lens.

Amy: Extremely impressed. We’ve learned to co-parent, communicate, and recognize what the other needs before they need it. We really don’t bicker, so you won’t have a married-couple argument unfolding behind our cameras.

Srinu: A whole wedding is enough to keep us busy.

Amy: Quiet. Observant. Precise. Though “quiet little photographer sniper” is probably my more honest description.

Srinu: Organized. Knowledgeable. Attentive.

Amy: I’m fairly sure he would also tell you I’m more Indian than he is in some situations.

Amy: I don’t think he would dispute mine. He’s the quieter one, usually with the longest lens, finding intimate photographs without standing right in the middle of the moment.

Srinu: Quiet doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention.

Amy: Photography. I really do think he’s the better photographer. Also, biting his tongue.

Srinu: I’ll accept the compliment before she adds anything else.

Srinu: People. Organizing family photographs, guiding couples, and noticing what someone needs before it has even occurred to me.

Amy: Give me the family formals. I’ll get everyone where they need to be.

Amy: Kanyadaan. As a parent, the meaning behind it touches me deeply. When it’s done beautifully and thoughtfully, it’s my favorite part to photograph.

Srinu: The tying of the mangalsutra. It can be a challenging moment to capture: there’s often no rehearsal, people are gathered close, and everything happens quickly. I want to be ready for it.

Amy: I think he loves the challenge as much as the importance of that moment.

Amy: Culling and choosing our favorites—the Lux images that deserve extra attention because they carry something deeper in the story.

Srinu: Color correction, file conversion, uploading, and the technical side.

Amy: Retouching is something we enjoy doing together. We get to revisit the day, admire each other’s work, and notice how far we’ve come.

Srinu: I pack the camera bags.

Amy: I ask about the other essentials: neck coolers, ice packs, Gatorade. Especially on a hot day, being prepared means making sure our team can stay hydrated, cool, and ready to work.

Srinu: The light—where it falls during entrances, speeches, performances, and first dances.

Amy: The details. Are the chairs lined up? Is the stage centered? Are the table settings complete? Sometimes a tiny adjustment makes the whole photograph feel more considered.

Srinu: I’m chasing light. She’s checking everything it’s landing on.

Amy: The thermostat. We’re a 68-versus-74 household.

Amy: Whoever is driving. The passenger is probably napping, looking over the timeline, or browsing their phone. Driver’s choice feels fair.

Amy: Sunscreen. Your girl turns as red as a lobster. Preferably the kind that smells like a little vacation — Sun Bum.

Amy: Shoes off. Feet up.

Srinu: Download the photographs and check that everything is there.

Amy: We have slightly different definitions of winding down.

Amy: The little stories we collect during a wedding day. An uncle asking what I think about Indian weddings, or one of my spontaneous comments catching the bridal party off guard.

Srinu: I’ve heard her side comments before. The bridal party hasn’t. Their reactions make me smile.

Amy: And watching him still be so completely in this work makes me happy. The day keeps bringing us back to what family means to us.

Amy: At home, feeding our chickens, the Regeti Peeps, and our ducks, the Bougie Ducks, and spending time with the dogs.

Srinu: Building something. A bench, a planter, the chicken coop, the duck hut, or the arbor and swing.

Amy: And a little Subway lunch date together is absolutely our speed.

Amy: The picture of the kids all around my mother-in-law on the deck, and a photograph of my father-in-law. Those are the two I love the most. I didn’t realize how much they meant at the time, but I do now.

Amy: Srinu sings Hindi songs beautifully. His passion for music is serious; the music at our Indian weddings is something he’ll never tire of.

Srinu: Amy’s nursing background surprises people, although once you’ve seen how she looks after people, it makes sense.

Amy: Caring for people has always been part of who I am.

Amy: Patience, in different ways. We also help each other build good habits: organization, discipline, and a strong work ethic.

Srinu: Sometimes one of us isn’t feeling it, and the other says, “Come on. We’ve got this to do.”

Amy: We keep each other moving.

Amy: He’s such a good dad. I still look at him in awe that I’m the person he chose to spend his life with. We get to fall asleep and wake up beside each other, and we’ve built a family we can be proud of. Imagining my life without having met him almost feels impossible.

Srinu: Her personality and sense of humor.
