documentary, intimate & always authentic to you

Intertwine
Soul & Story
For couples who resist the ordinary and value artistry as much as they value connection, this is photography that honors your story with care, and soul.
The Art of Celebration,
CAPTURED.
thoughtfully
The beauty of a celebration lives in its layers — the energy, the quiet, the unexpected. Drawn from art, design, and the way light transforms a space, I photograph with an eye for nuance. The glow of candlelight, the texture of a handwoven linen, the hush of a shared secret in the dark.

As a couple that tends to feel a little awkward in front of the camera, working with Imani was an absolute breath of fresh air. From the moment we met her, she brought such a calming and positive energy that instantly put us at ease. Her kindness and warmth made the entire process feel natural and fun, rather than posed or pressured.
She gave thoughtful, gentle direction that helped us feel confident while still letting us be ourselves. It honestly felt like we were just enjoying a lovely day together while she effortlessly captured the magic between us.
We were blown away when we received our engagement photos. She managed to perfectly capture the dreamy, romantic vibe we had envisioned, and every image felt like a true reflection of us as a couple. We’re so grateful to have had her as part of this special moment in our lives, and we’ll cherish these photos forever.

".....I normally find getting photos of myself quite awkward and uncomfortable, but Imani makes you feel completely at ease while shooting. Her down to earth spirit will quickly have you forget that she’s capturing your lifetime memories and make you feel that you’re simply hanging out with a friend....."

"Imani provided us with the most wonderful experience for our engagement photo shoot and first time visiting San Diego.
Her communication, flexibility, and energy was superb; she came ready with a bunch of ideas and really helped enhance our own.
During the shoot she made everything comfortable, fun, and easy, and after the shoot when we received our photos we were blown away seeing her creativity come to life and our special moments captured. I would LOVE to work with Imani again and I highly recommend her!"

WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
SAN DIEGO & EVERYWHERE
I believe the most meaningful celebrations aren’t defined by tradition, but by intention. They are filled with presence, emotion, and the kind of beauty that comes alive in laughter, candlelight, and the in-between moments.
