The Regeti’s have become well known in the industry for the edginess of their style, the crisp clarity in their imagery and the ability to make an image come alive to the viewer. Among their peers they are respected for their knowledge in the field and their willingness to share during their speaking engagements offered during DWF (Digital Wedding Forum) and WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Professionals International). The Regeti’s were featured on Nightline ABC considered to be “A Sign of the Times” as they have brought back and re-introduced the business of wedding boudoir to their peers and discerning clientele. Published within several publications worldwide from North America to Southeast Asia their work can be found published around the globe.

Asked what sets them apart The Regeti’s would agree that it is their approach when it comes to their special clientele:

“When a client calls our studio it’s at that point that we can tell if she is a “Regeti’s Bride”. She is infectious, her attitude totally worth catching. The excitement generates right through you so much that it is hard to even think of having a bad day. Our clients know what they want even before they arrive, but once they come to the studio and have spent time with us they say to us, “We never imagined that we could have been more blown away then we already were before we arrived.” This is why we continue to do what we do, this is why we love what we do, this is in the end why we limit what we offer.”

The Regeti’s only accept 25 clients every calendar year. For them these are 25 “Friends for Life” and one will never be confused with the next, for each one their day is the only one that will matter and for the Regeti’s it’s the only way to ensure that quality will always be in front of quantity at their studio.

I’m 33. I have 2 kitties and the most awesomest dog ever. I love Pho Ga and absolutely HATE pancakes. In 2009, a wedding I photographed in Mexico was named the BEST DESTINATION WEDDING by The Knot-National. I know every line to Weird Science. Orange used to be my favorite color, but now it’s green. I was always the strange “artsy” girl in school and my date to senior prom was this fabulous gay friend who wore a top hat, cape and tights. I am not an unobtrusive photographer, but rather the guest at the wedding with a camera that takes totally rad photos. While living in Mexico I founded the EYES OPEN PROJECT, my nonprofit photography organization. I fly in my dreams almost every night and began dancing on Pointe when I was 12 years old. As a kid I had a pet chinchilla and refused to wear a dress till I was in high school. I knew how to print images in a darkroom before I was old enough to RIDE THIS RIDE. I have remained good friends with many of the couples I have photographed.

Now operating as a total GREEN COMPANY, Kirsten is able to not only take the utmost care of her clients, but the environment as well. Digital images, online proofing, reusable containers, recycled paper products and even a scooter as her main source of transportation are all changes she has made to her company to reduce her carbon footprint.

Brooke Mayo Photography consists of my associate Carrie Roen and myself. In addition to a fine arts degree in photography, I have trained with world-renowned portrait and dance photographers from Australia to New York City. Carrie and myself have recently been featured in international publications such as Grace Ormonde, Destination Weddings and Honeymoons and Bride Magazine and have received numerous awards from The Wedding Photojournalist Association. We are dedicated to weddings and have made this our focus and our passion.

Aside from taking the occasional group photos, during my normal coverage I don’t arrange or stage my pictures in any way. I prefer to work with reality as I find it, and the authenticity of the resulting images is important to me. I want my subjects to look back at their photos ten, twenty, fifty years from now and remember precisely what they felt at the time. My focus is to convey the feeling of the day, the often complex relationships between those involved, and most of all, what is specific to them as individuals.

I work unobtrusively. It’s hard to show people as they are if you’re drawing attention to yourself. So I blend in, present but overlooked, quickly part of the background. I naturally concentrate on the couple, but also on their family and friends, what’s happening in the corners, along the edges. I want the pictures to help them remember what they experienced, but also to show them things they never saw.

I tend to work with people seeking a different approach, those seeking not so much a book of Wedding Photos, but a series of beautiful, revealing pictures of one very specific point in their lives. Which just happens to be their wedding.
