Our Story
Where Light Meets Legacy
THE YKIANS PHOTOGRAPHY was born from a singular obsession: the belief that every frame tells a story worth preserving forever. Founded in 2024, we are a boutique photography studio based in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, specialising in crafting images that move people deeply.
Our approach is unhurried, intentional, and deeply personal. We invest time understanding you before we ever pick up a camera — because the best images aren't taken, they're earned through trust, connection, and perfect timing.

Real Stories
Behind every image,
a story
Go beyond the photos. Read how Yogesh approached, planned, and captured each of these real sessions.
Wedding · Haryana
Priya & Arjun — A Love That Needed No Words
Priya and Arjun came to us with one request: "make it feel like a film." We spent three hours on a discovery call understanding their story — how they met over physics textbooks, their shared love of golden-hour light, and Priya's grandmother's unspoken blessing.
We arrived at 5am on the wedding day to capture the quiet moments before the noise — the mehendi artist working by candlelight, Arjun's nervous smile while being dressed by his father. Those frames turned out to be the ones Priya cried over the most.
Portrait · Studio
Isha — Discovering Confidence Through the Lens
Isha came in saying she'd never liked a single photo of herself. She was nervous, over-apologetic, and nearly cancelled twice. We spent the first 45 minutes just talking — no camera, no lights. About what made her feel most herself.
Three hours later, she saw her gallery preview and went quiet. Then she said: "That's actually me." That's the moment we live for.
Brand Campaign · Corporate
Brewnote Café — Imagery That Drove 40% Growth
Rahul at Brewnote wanted images that made people smell the coffee through their phone screen. We studied their brand for a week before the shoot — colour palette, customer avatar, Instagram aesthetic.
We shot at 6am for the natural light. Every cup styled to create condensation at the perfect moment. The gallery went live on their website and socials. Within 90 days, organic traffic doubled and bookings were up 40%.
FAQ
Common questions
How far in advance should I book? +
We recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance for weddings and large events, and 2–4 weeks for portrait or corporate sessions. Peak wedding season (October–February) fills up fast — the earlier, the better.
Do you travel for destination shoots? +
Absolutely! We photograph across India and internationally. Travel and accommodation are billed at cost. Contact us with your destination and we'll provide a custom quote within 48 hours.
How many images will I receive? +
Essence includes 50+ images, Heritage 300+, and Dynasty 500+. We always prioritise quality — every delivered image is fully hand-edited to our signature standard. We never deliver raw or unfinished files.
What is your editing style? +
Our signature style is warm, cinematic, and timeless. We use a bespoke color-grading process for rich golden tones, deep shadows, and a refined film-like quality. You can see our work on the Before & After slider on this page.
Do you provide raw or unedited files? +
We do not deliver raw files as part of any standard package — our editing is integral to the final product. Special arrangements may be discussed on a case-by-case basis during consultation.
What are your payment and cancellation terms? +
A 30% non-refundable booking deposit is required to confirm your date, with the balance due 7 days before the shoot. Cancellations within 30 days forfeit the deposit. Rescheduling is available at no charge with adequate notice.
Can I provide a shot list or mood board? +
Yes — we encourage it! Share your inspiration images, must-have shots, and mood boards during our planning call. We review everything carefully and weave your vision into every part of the session naturally.
"Every question you have deserves a real answer. We believe in full transparency — no hidden fees, no surprises, just beautiful photography."

"Photography for me is about finding the soul of a moment — that fraction of a second that holds an entire lifetime of feeling."
— Yogesh Kumar, THE YKIANS PHOTOGRAPHYMeet the Artist
Yogesh Kumar
M.Sc. PhysicsFounder · THE YKIANS PHOTOGRAPHY
Behind every YKIANS image is Yogesh Kumar — a physicist turned visual storyteller based in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana. His scientific background in optics and light physics, combined with an artist's deep sensitivity to emotion, produces photographs that are technically flawless and emotionally unforgettable.
Where most photographers see a scene, Yogesh sees equations of light. He understands how photons behave at golden hour, how focal length compresses emotion, how a single degree of aperture changes the story. This precision, married to genuine warmth and patience with people, is what makes YKIANS images instantly recognisable.
