Mary Kate & Chris, 2024

Dilshad was a calm force throughout the whole planning process. Her expertise, vision, and presence was instrumental in helping our wedding day be a success. 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.

Kind words

from our couples

"a calm force throughout the whole planning process. We don't know what we would have done without her!" 

Jessie & André, 2024

Her attention to detail, before, during and after our wedding made everything about the process easier. 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.

Kind words

from our couples

"if i could give her 100 stars, i would"

Sophia and Collin, 2024

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. I cannot say enough how great Dilshad is to work with, and I would recommend her to everybody!

Kind words

from our couples

"I've never felt more beautiful"

Angeline & Kevin, 2023

Words can't describe how amazing it was to work with Dilshad! We can't imagine our wedding day without her. 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. 

Kind words

from our couples

 "she was truly there to support me, and went above and beyond"

Carla and Jeff, 2022

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 meet, so every detail was accounted for and thought through. Her kindness and joy shine through and she is truly passionate about what she does.

Kind words

from our couples

 "every detail was accounted for and thought through"

Our Signature Process

The heartbeat behind what we do is to intentionally serve couples during this season of your life. That's why our process begins months before your day, and before you even book with us. It is my goal to truly understand your values, wants, and needs, and work alongside your vendor team to build an experience specifically tailored to you.

 Wedding Photography is the only tangible thing you walk away with from your wedding day, that you get to hold on to for the rest of your lives together. We want to make sure your memories and artwork can be treasured for a lifetime.

Your wedding photos aren't just for now, they are for years down the road when the memories start to fade. They are meant to be held in the hands of generations to come after you. We want to make sure those memories are captured with intention, expertise, creativity, and love.

Four

Your final gallery will be delivered 8 weeks after your wedding day. Heirloom albums and prints are the best way to truly preserve your legacy. I encourage couples to print their photos and not just let them live on their computer! Heirloom albums are what you'll pass on for generations, set out on your coffee table, and flip through when those memories start to fade. You'll also have the option to furnish your home with custom wall art. I want you to see photos that truly tell your story, and feel and see the love you promised to each other!

I specialize in creating a balance of effortlessly elegant, classic images with authentic, emotion filled moments. My approach is relaxed, calming, and joy-filled, designed to make others feel completely at ease, present, and naturally bringing out the best in others.

My photography style is classic, elegant, coastal, and European inspired, with bits of my own story interwoven. The warmth and joy that I experienced growing up in the Caribbean, the coastal and classic charm of living in South Carolina for 10 years, and the elegance and beauty of the European countries I have visited and fallen in love with.

Organization and attention to detail are incredibly important to me. On your wedding day, I want you to be able to relax, be present, and enjoy your celebration, knowing that your day is being captured by a photographer who truly cares about you and your story.

MY STYLE & APPROACH

Kindhearted, joyful, value relationships, and want their wedding to represent who they are and the joy of their marriage. They want artwork and memories captured that are intentionally crafted to tell the unique story of their day.

Love classic, elegant, timeless style, European inspiration, and a dash of coastal charm. They appreciate trends, but value timeless style over the next trend. 

Want a relaxed, joy-filled wedding day, with a detail oriented and impeccable design. They have a trusted team of hand picked vendors who they trust to bring their vision to life. They want their day to be a celebration!

Cleveland OH Wedding

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! - Abby and Michael

"We couldn’t be happier with all of the memories and moments she so perfectly captured."

Kind words

Cleveland OH Wedding

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 by 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 - Haley and Y

"We just felt GOOD around her and had fun together!"

Jessie and André, Gordon Green Wedding Cleveland

"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 with 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!" - Jessie and André

"I cannot recommend Dilshad enough, we will be forever grateful in how she captured our day so perfectly!"

Cleveland OH Wedding

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 :) - Caitlin and Steven

"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!"

Ande and Joe, Silver Lake Country Club Wedding

"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 away! 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!" - Ande and Joe

Rachel and Bob, Rivercrest Farm Wedding

"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 throughout 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."

"We would highly recommended Yogi-Smith Photography to anyone!!"

Cleveland Yacht Club Wedding, Cleveland OH

"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!— Haley and Mike

Ransom Sage Farm Wedding, Cleveland OH

"If you are looking for a photographer that not only has an aesthetic eye but also will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, definitely book Yogi Smith Photography. Dilshad 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! — Tiana and Evan

Brooke and Ian, Chagrin Falls OH Wedding

"Dilshad captured beautiful pictures of our wedding! She is an amazing photographer and genuine human being! She was so easy to work with from start to finish. She is there to help in any way possible. The day of our wedding, Dilshad and her second shooter, Ethan were both so kind. They make you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera! I honestly felt my wedding day went so smooth and I was able to enjoy that day because Dilshad was so calm and confident and kept me on time with her personalized timeline! I am so happy that I decided to have Dilshad capture precious moments of our wedding day. Ian and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will have beautiful pictures to cherish forever."

how do I schedule an engagement session? 

Frequently Asked Questions

photography style:





Great question! When you officially book with me, you'll receive an engagement session styled guide, so we can begin planning right away. It will include location suggestions, tips for each season, and more. Once you decide when and where, I'll book your engagement session and send you all the confirmation details. 


This is such an important question! I shoot to 2 memory cards at the same time throughout your wedding day, so your images are copied to two cards throughout the day. The first thing I do to your images when I get home from your wedding day is back them up to 2 hard drives, and my computer, a cloud based storage device, and they stay on my memory cards until your album is delivered. So yes, your images are backed up in 5 places. When I'm finished editing, they'll be delivered to you in an online gallery.

A second shooter is included with all packages. My second shooter is there to capture different angles of your wedding (so multiple events are captured at once), work with the groomsmen while I take your bridesmaids photos, and will help with whatever is needed on your day.

My style is timeless, romantic, light filled, and vibrant. I am a natural light photographer, meaning I utilize natural lighting in my images. In the evening however, I do utilize off and on camera flash, when there is no natural light available (mostly used during your reception).

To fully reserve your date, a non refundable 30% deposit is due. The full balance will be due 2 weeks prior to your event's date.

Do YOU Travel?

Yes! We do travel for engagement sessions and weddings. Feel free to mention what you are envisioning for a destination wedding or engagement session, and this will be included in your custom proposal.

Images and copyrights:





High resolution digital files can be printed as much as you want, wherever you want without a watermark.

EDITING:





Every image delivered to you will be individually edited. However, we do not do extreme body, face, or hair retouching. Blemishes are edited on a case by case basis at the discretion of Yogi Smith Photography. All edited files will be delivered to the Client in jpeg format. We do not deliver RAW files to our clients on any circumstance. Additional editing changes or revisions can be purchased at $50/hour.

I am so honored that you are considering me to capture one of the biggest days of your lives. I am truly looking forward to coming alongside you and serving you as best as I can. You deserve to be able to relive the joy of your wedding all over again, hold your memories in your hand, and share that joy with your future family - and I cannot wait to help you do just that. Congratulations on this special season of your lives!

Thank You
