Breathtaking wedding album!

I have worked with Yogi a few times over the years, first back in 2002 when he did such a beautiful job with my arangetram photos which we still cherish today, and then in 2022 when he perfectly captured our wedding! We had a long wedding day with 2 different religious ceremonies and Yogi knew to capture all the key moments not only of us as a couple and our families and the decor, but also of the important moments during the ceremony. The way he captured the colors and the energy of our wedding is truly incredible, I feel like I am back in that moment every time I look at the photos. In addition to the gorgeous photos, my husband and I were completely blown away by the beautiful wedding album! It is the most gorgeous album I have ever seen, with such high quality and attention to detail. It is truly a beautiful piece we display in the house. Thank you Yogi for being such an integral part of our wedding and capturing all our moments!

Nothing to add that hasn't already been said (namely, that Yogi is a wizard and his wife is amazing) except this story: Yogi took photos of my fiance and myself about a week before the wedding and rush printed a guestbook/canvas for us to have at the ceremony. Despite the fact that I did my own makeup, forgot to bring a hairbrush to a windy beach, and best of all had bloodshot eyes that were swollen half shut with allergies, the unretouched proofs Yogi emailed to us mere hours after the shoot were some of the best photos we've ever had of ourselves! Somehow he took all of that and made us look like models. I am dying to see the photos from our ceremony!

Firstly, it has been one year since our wedding and I still am in constant contact with Yogi. I am VERY appreciative of what Yogi has done for us to memorialize our special day. All photos turned out perfect!

From the beginning Yogi was very professional and honest. His work spoke for himself and I was determined to find the perfect photographer to capture our special day. We chose him right away after viewing his gallery and his attention to detail. He took a lot of pride in his work and it showed. No bride or groom were ever posed in the same way; every picture had its own characteristics. Yogi doesn’t do this for money - he does this because this is his passion.

This is why I am glad I chose Yogi:
1.) Yogi's attention to detail shows in each of his photos. When we did our huge extended family photo on the stage with over 40 people - Yogi took the time to go to each guest and straighten their tie, sari, hair, jewelry, etc.
2.) Usually the assistant hoovers around the main photographer in other companies. Yogi and his assistant seemed to be around the whole crowd. This was appreciated later to see what the whole wedding party was doing.
3.) Contracts for photographers can be confusing and misleading. Yogi is very up front and tells you exactly what you will and will not receive. He will let you know why for each and anything is up for negotiation. That is what a contract is supposed to be.

For these reasons my husband, family, and especially myself are very glad we decided to go with Global Photography. If you should have any questions or want to see any of my photos please email me since I am so proud of them - love to share!! monapatelesq at gmail dot com

My husband and I just got married in October 2013 and Yogi was our photographer of choice. We found Global Photography through our coordinator and we couldn’t be happier with the recommendation!

Yogi was professional, honest, and talented. We had our first session in August 2013 for our engagement photo shoot. Yogi helped us choose a location that really fit our style and the photo shoot itself was just so much fun! Our engagement pictures were included in our guestbook for the wedding and the common comments were received were "the photographs are amazing" and we would have to agree.

On our wedding day, Yogi and his team were prompt and started immediately in capturing each memory. Yogi stayed well into the reception to make sure important moments were not missed.

We received the proofs about 4 weeks after the wedding and the first word my husband and I said was "WOW!" We cannot express how happy we are with the amazing quality and style of our pictures. Can’t wait to see the final album!

We highly recommend Global Photography!

Prem and Ross took our wedding photos this past August. They were an amazing team. They listened to our requests and had some great ides of their own. They captured moments that we will cherish for ever. They took photos of activity that we were not able to see as bride and groom. We are grateful they did because we can now see parts of the wedding we weren't able to that day. I recommend Global Photography to all!!
