The Artist Behind the Lens. For me, life is about passion…

My name is Yogi Patel, I am an Internationally renowned and multi-award-winning photographer specializing in creating timeless and one-of-a-kind memories from weddings, portraits of families, pregnancy, and children. My biggest passion is photography. Since a young child, I loved painting and always had a keen eye for detail. My goal is to create exceptional fine art portraits that capture the best version of my clients.

I strive to create images that are not only meticulously composed and lit but also document the moments and emotions that a couple share on their special day, in an elegant and chic style.  Capturing those fleeting moments throughout the day and being able to create breathtaking images gives me a huge buzz and a sense of achievement. All our photo shoots are tailored precisely to our client’s needs and aim to deliver a five-star experience. Global photography has become a specialist in their photography style “fairytale timeless classic with an injection of fashion and emotion” over the last 32 years. I started with Indian weddings several years back and from there our Indian brides and grooms refer us to their friends and family. Photographing the union between two people and the joy it can bring to others is so warming and is the reason why I have chosen to be a photographer.  I feel so honored to be a part of the most special day of our Indian and Southeast Asian brides and grooms in the past.

Thank you for visiting my website and looking through my work. Thank you for enquiring with me to document your wedding.
