We are beyond grateful that we worked with Yogi Smith Photography for our wedding. Dilshad was a calm force throughout the whole planning process. Her expertise, vision, and pres...
ence was instrumental in helping our wedding day be a success. Dilshad and Ethan effortlessly captured our most special moments and our wedding album turned out more incredible than we could have imagined. The photos are beautiful and they hold memories that we will cherish forever. From behind the scenes and pre-wedding phone calls to our day of events, Dilshad was professional and insightful! Her personality and reassurance made us feel calm and at ease. We truly had so much fun with Dilshad and are so thankful for all that she did for us, we don't know what we would have done without her!
Dilshad and her husband are truly amazing. Dilshad is so kind and has an amazing eye for photography. She helped my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident during both our ...
engagement photo shoot and the entire day of our wedding. She is also incredibly organized which helped make pictures the day of go so smoothly. Her personality is just so warm and welcoming, and she is truly just the kindest human.
Dilshad is also so knowledgeable and helpful—she used eyelash glue to hold my necklace in place, and it made such a huge difference for me! I didn’t have to worry about adjusting my necklace once.
On top of all of that, her pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I’ve never felt more beautiful, and Dilshad was able to capture it all. I cannot say enough how great Dilshad is to work with, and I would recommend her to everybody!
Dilshad and her Husband are an incredible photography team duo! Dilshad is very kind, organized, and knows exactly how to capture those moments you will want forever keepsake photo...
s of! The itinerary and "must-have" photo list you create with her through the meetings will ensure that you and her are on the same page the day of the event so that things run as seamlessly as possible, even when all the girls are running behind schedule getting hair/makeup done, including the bride (true story)! Dilshad's photography style fit exactly what my husband and I were looking for and could not have been happier with the final products! I greatly appreciate that she is willing to make any photos you absolutely love in black & white. One random note that I will remember from the day of the wedding, Dilshad is SO good with getting to know who is who very quickly - aka remembering the name of all your siblings, your parents, etc - its the small things like that that ensure one's special day runs that much smoother! As someone whose husband and self got ready at each's parents and then went to church, then all around for photos, and then finally to the reception, I really appreciated that she and her husband were able to go to all the locations to get all the photos we desired! They photographed a 20 person bridal party (220+ people wedding) seamlessly. We took notice too that they stayed later than they were paid/contracted for at the venue at night too - by all means not required to, but was noticed. You will have ZERO regrets hiring Yogi Smith Photography for your special day!
Dilshad was just wonderful to work with! She was there for me every step of the way - willing to lend a listening ear, helping hand, or guiding insight. She helped me with the enti...
re wedding planning process - from making recommendations for venues/vendors to detailing out the day-of itinerary plans, she was quite literally one of the most helpful people I hired throughout my entire wedding planning process.
On top of all of that, her photos are beautiful, whimsical, and dreamy. While you are taking your photos, she makes the process not so awkward and helps you pose your body and face.
One of the more stressful wedding day items turned out to be a breeze thanks to Dilshad.
As an added bonus, her second shooter/husband, Ethan, is just as friendly as helpful as she was.
If she has the vibe you are looking for for your wedding photos, I would absolutely recommend hiring her!
I have no idea where to begin with Dilshad- from the first time we spoke I knew immediately her calm presence was exactly what I would need on my wedding day and through the entire...
process leading up to it. My husband and I planned a cross country wedding entirely on our own and she was hands down the number one vendor who made things just a little bit easier. Her strong communication, attention to detail and efforts to include every last request in our photos came across multiple times in the months, weeks and days leading up to our big day. On our big day she came through on everything and more. Every pose in every area of our venue we had discussed she remembered. And it didn’t stop there. She delivered the most beautiful photos to us after the wedding and so many special momentos of our photos including a photo box and Christmas ornament to help us remember our special day forever. I could go on and on about Dilshad and her assistant Ethan but I will just say if you want a really solid photographer who will truly go to great lengths to make your day perfect without stressing you out-book her now!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Dilshad and Ethan :)
Using Dilshad as our photographer for our wedding + engagement photos was the best decision! The first time we talked with her, we could feel her warm personality and how much she ...
cares about the clients she works with. She was so organized with scheduling and always made sure that we felt comfortable with timelines and details for our day. She was also an incredible resource to ask questions about details that were not just the photos. She was an important part of making our wedding run smoothly. Also, she is the kind of personality you NEED on your big day! She is so calm, extremely excited and enthusiastic, but also so professional and knows how to make the day run as smooth as possible. I think the bonus is how incredibly talented she is! We couldn’t be happier with all of the memories and moments she so perfectly captured on a very important day. They are pictures we will cherish our whole lives with the people we love the most. The worst part of working with Dilshad was saying goodbye after the wedding and gallery were finished (even though we still keep in touch on socials) She is an absolute must have and we couldn’t have been more grateful for her!
Dilshad is the BEST! From start to finish, I can't say anything but good things about her. She was so professional and available to answer any questions we had. At the engagement s...
hoot she made us feel so comfortable. At the wedding she not only took stunning photos but was also there to help with everything. At one point, my bustle broke and Dilshad was the one who was there fixing it for me. The photos she took were timeless and classic which is exactly what I said I wanted when we met for the first time. I could not recommend Dilshad enough!!
So, we opted to look over our wedding photos in a cafe with Dilshad. As we're doing this, I can't fully express the blend of emotions I'm having: I'm overfilled with astonishment b...
y how accurately Dilshad's captured all the tiny moments that filled our perfect day. Oddly, I'm also feeling a bit heartbroken because after spending months talking, planning, and sharing this experience with Dilshad, I realize we're done-- my wife and I express that this feels like a breakup!
We loved the photos we saw of Dilshad's past work. They were bright, wonderful, genuine, and simply timeless. Since the first message, Dilshad's communication was clear and friendly.
When we met for engagement photos, I thought "How can anybody be this nice?". Dilshad could inspire a Disney princess! She had so many fun, playful ideas while staying open to our questions and suggestions. Most importantly, we just felt GOOD around her and had fun together!
When we got the engagement photos back, we couldn't wait to share them with our family and friends! They were spectacular!
Leading up to the wedding, Dilshad kept in contact with our wedding planner (Jayna at Kirkbrides) and our videographer (Rob Heath) so nothing was lost in coordination. On the day of the wedding, Dilshad and her husband were lovely to our guests while flowing in, out, and through festivities-- it's actually quite a miracle to behold!
We will never forget how wonderful you've been to us! Thank you thank you thank you <3<3<3
Words can't describe how amazing it was to work with Dilshad! We can't imagine our wedding day without her. Dilshad always went the extra mile to make us feel special throughout th...
e entire process. Prior to booking her as a photographer and then again before the wedding, she scheduled coffee with us just so that she could get to know us better. Through our engagement, she kept in close communication with us, and made sure we had a schedule for the day far in advance. On the wedding day, she was truly there to support me, and went above and beyond, even helping me with my dress! She had so many creative ideas for photos, and we just felt comfortable being ourselves with her. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. They were bright and colorful, and they perfectly captured all of the special moments of our day! She truly cares about the couples that she works with, and I would absolutely recommend her to any of my family or friends! Thank you for everything, Dilshad<3
Deciding to work with Dilshad (and Ethan!) for our November 2022 wedding was by far one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. Dilshad is incredibly...
sweet, professional, and organized - working with her is a complete joy! Not only are her photographs of our engagement session and our wedding day absolutely beautiful, but throughout the entire planning process and wedding day I felt incredibly supported by Dilshad and benefitted greatly from her expertise and calming demeanor. After the wedding, I have received so many compliments on our stunning photographs, as well as numerous questions from our family and friends about how we found Dilshad because working with her was so delightful.
On the day of your wedding you spend a great deal of time with your photographer, so I felt very lucky to have found someone I could trust and with whom I truly enjoyed spending time! Dilshad is a talented photographer and overall phenomenal person and I highly recommend Yogi Smith Photography!
Dilshad is the absolute best!! If I had to start from the beginning again knowing everything I do now I would have still chose Yogi Smith Photography as our wedding day photographe...
r. Dilshad is so sweet and so easy to work with. She makes everything so easy and stress free which is not how I would describe wedding planning. She is so organized. She really cares about you and wants to know how she can help you in any way. She always reaches out to check in. A worry I had was obviously rain on the wedding day so she reached out the indoor venues for me and got us a slot at the courthouse so I didn’t have to be worried about rain on our big day and knew we would still be able to get amazing photos. I love looking at all our photos and reliving our day. I 100% recommend Yogi Smith Photography for wedding photography

If I could give Dilshad 100 stars I would! Her attention to detail, before, during and after our wedding made everything about the process easier. She is incredibly easy to work wi...
th and took the time to get to know me, my fiancé and our story. During one of the busiest wedding seasons, I never felt like I was sharing my time with other clients. She was incredibly organized and responsive leading up to the wedding and even took the initiative to contact our vendors, venue and planner before I had to worry about a thing. On our day, she was a calming presence and made everyone feel at ease and really took into consideration everything we had discussed leading up our wedding. I woke up the next morning to the surprise of the most gorgeous sneak peaks of our photos that really helped to ease the wedding hangover. Following the wedding, she continued the communication, we received our photos in a timely manner and beautifully organized through the portal. I am over the moon with the quality of service and the final product we received. I cannot recommend Dilshad enough, we will be forever grateful in how she captured our day so perfectly!
Dilshad was SO easy to work with, from the initial time speaking to her through getting our full album back (about 8 weeks after the wedding). Her style is very light and airy and ...
her photos are gorgeous. She has a very thorough guide to walk through choosing outfits and locations for the engagement pictures, and an even more thorough guide and timeline for the wedding day. Her husband Ethan was the 2nd shooter on our wedding day and he was great as well. Dilshad was very laid back and made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the day. I didn't have to worry about the timeline (or really anything!) because she was very on top of everything. We even got a "preview" of about 30 pictures before we even got back to our hotel room on the night of the wedding! We loved working with Dilshad and Ethan and our photos are absolutely gorgeous and captured the joy of our day perfectly.
Do yourself a favor and choose Yogi Smith Photography! From the first moment, Dilshad was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is one of the most organized people you will ever m...
eet, so every detail was accounted for and thought through. Her kindness and joy shine through and she is truly passionate about what she does. We so enjoyed spending our wedding day with her and Ethan - definitely a vendor you will want to be friends with after the wedding! Most importantly, Dilshad's photos are beautiful. She captured all of the emotions, details, and fun of our day in such an elegant and natural way. We had a very colorful wedding and couldn't imagine any other photographer capturing it better than Dilshad. She was so prompt with the sneak peek and full gallery, and made a few edits on request too. We can't wait to share Yogi-Smith Photography's photos with grandkids some day.
Dilshad is very talented in her craft. The images she produced for our wedding are stunning. They will be treasured for generations!
Dilshad was very friendly and helpful througho...
ut the process. She is very thoughtful and just a wonderful human being in general. She is not only an expert in photography, she’s also built out a lot of great resources on her website that goes a long way to make the day go seamlessly. She is hyper organized, which was a huge help on the wedding day. There was a lot going on that day, but Dilshad and Ethan were on top of everything. They even helped us with little details.
We loved their energy. They are people who make everyone around them happy. They were so easy to work with. We would highly recommended Yogi-Smith Photography to anyone! Nothing negative to say at all.
Where to begin... simply put, hiring Dilshad with Yogi Smith Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! As a couple that has never really had photos ta...
ken in an capacity, we didn't really know where to begin or what to expect. Dilshad was recommended through our wedding planner, and from the moment we had our first phone call, I knew that she was the one. Her cheerful and bubbly personality, is genuine and immediately made me feel like I was talking to someone I have known my entire life. The decision to sign a contact was easy, and we never looked back!
We were nervous going into our engagement shoot, and didn't know what to expect of how it would go, and Dilshad went out of her way to make us feel comfortable every step of the way. We had several conversations about time of year, location, support to bring our fur babies with us - all of which she was knowledgeable, helpful and calming to my perfectionist personality. The session went smoothly, and the photos turned out even better than I could have imagined. The turn around on our final photos, was quick and we have several hanging our house still!
Leading up to wedding day, Dilshad maintained contact without ever making us feel overwhelmed with all of the other planning going on. She was organized, reliable and a friend throughout the entire process - if we ever had any concerns, or questions she was only a phone call!
Dilshad takes the time to get to know you, and even though she (as well as all other wedding vendors) has multiple clients at a time, we never once felt as though we weren't getting enough of her time, or were not the focus of her energy.
Our wedding day went perfect, and Dilshad expertly captured all of the most precious moments, and even a few moments that were wonderful surprises. She put everyone, parents, family and bridal party at ease, and was accommodating to what we wanted for the day. Like our engagement session, the photos came back in a timely manner and were STUNNING. The quality of photos, the number of photos and the organization of the photos via the online gallery were better than I could have ever expected!
I can't say enough good things about Dilshad - I would choose her a million times over, and will absolutely be working with her for any future photos needs!
Thank you so much Dilshad, for your part in making our wedding day what we have always dreamed, and capturing it so beautifully!
We hired Dilshad to do our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be any happier with that decision. We are not the type of people that enjoy posing for photos, but Dilshad...
made the experience so much fun thanks to her cheerful and laid back personality as well as her incredible and thoughtful ideas. Out of the tons of photos that we received in our package, there was not a single one that didn’t turn out absolutely perfect.
If you’re looking for a great photographer, we highly recommend Dilshad and guarantee that you’ll be just as happy with her and her work as we are. Thank you, Dilshad, for capturing our big day to perfection!

shad and her husband Ethan are absolutely INCREDIBLE at making even the most ordinary space look like it’s literally a daydream. They make colors and light truly come to life. I’ve never seen anything like their work. I used them for my wedding and they were not only professional, punctual, and efficient, but they were also SO kind. I had multiple guests come up to me after the wedding and compliment how sweet they were! I’m so thrilled with my photos and will continue to use Yogi Smith photography for branding photos of my business and will recommend them to anyone! If you are in search of a photographer to capture your precious moments in an unforgettable way, Yogi Smith Photography is the way to go!
Me and my wife Natalie used Dilshad for our wedding day and it was one of the BEST decisions of the entire process. From start to finish she truly cared about us and made sure we k...
new how special our day was. She’s one of the kindest people you will ever talk to and is very naturally talented at taking photos and getting this best out of you. We love to just stare at our photos even months after our big day. We would recommend Dilshad to everyone!!
I cannot begin to explain how much I loved Yogi Smith Photography. Dilshad is a photographer that hasn't had decades of experience, but she could have fooled me! She had such great...
expertise and utilized every scenario for a great photo. She has great charisma and a great attitude with all different types of people. Even with my many family members that are not the easiest to corral into a photo. She managed to get all the unruly jokesters and constant blinkers to all look great at once which is a great achievement. Everything went smoothly on the day of my wedding. We were on time for the start time of each segment of the wedding day. I felt the morning was the most hectic, but once Dilshad arrived and we began taking pictures things smoothed out and became less hectic. We had Dilshad and Ethan for 8 hours and they had a mission to be on the spot and not miss a beat. And once it was time for them to go she surprised me with news that she was going to edit the photos the night of! 10:00 at night and editing photos!! The next day when i woke up a got to look at beautifully edited photos! And now four weeks after my wedding I received MANY edited photos. I am overjoyed with how they turned out! Dilshad is driven, gifted, helpful, kind, and most importantly the best photographer ever!
Dilshad was absolutely amazing to work with. She is very friendly, easy to work with and really knows what she is doing. The pictures came out amazing. We cannot thank her enough f...
or the beautful day and extraordinary effort she put in! I would highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed.
