Meet Yogi Patel – Award-Winning Indian Wedding Photographer

For me, photography is about more than beautiful images. It is about preserving emotion, culture, family connections, and meaningful moments that can never be recreated.

Over the years, I have had the honor of photographing Indian weddings, multicultural celebrations, Arangetram performances, and family portraits throughout California and destinations worldwide.

My approach combines storytelling, artistic lighting, and genuine human connection to create photographs that feel timeless, emotional, and authentic.

Creating timeless imagery with emotion and authenticity.

Yogi, Great timing as we just got back from our Honeymoon yesterday morning.  We never had a chance to speak too much that night or following as we left, but it was great working with you both.  We really enjoyed your personality, energy and of course professionalism and great pictures. I already scanned many pictures and love them.  We’ll give you a call this week, thanks.
