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....."

"I’ve had an excellent experience working with Imani on our wedding day. Our photos turned out FABULOUS! They were so much better than I even imagined. I’m very grateful to Imani for her incredible and hard work. It’s been a real pleasure working with her and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. So many great ideas, shots, amazing editing and gorgeous final deliverables. She captured my vision perfectly and created something truly unique and special. I highly recommend booking Imani for your special day! You won’t be disappointed!"

Ravali & Chengappa 

"Working with Imani was such a wonderful experience. The two of us had little experience in front of the camera and had never done a professional shoot - she made us feel SO comfortable and directed us with ease in a way that felt natural to us. It has been so much fun to look at our pictures and see how much she was able to capture our personality and relationship as a couple!"

"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!"

"I told my fiancée I wanted a photographer at our engagement, but I wanted it to be a surprise, and I'm so glad he found Imani. He originally chose her because he knows I love a natural editing style vs very cold or warm color grading, but continued to work with her because of her professionalism and the way she went above and beyond. He surprised me with an engagement party after the proposal (a 30 min drive away) and she was able to photograph that part of the night as well, and I'll cherish those photos forever. She was so easy to work with, so kind, and creates such beautiful work. I loved how she gave us moments alone in between photos so we could soak it all in. My partner and I are not ones to want to be in front of the camera, but she made us so comfortable and put us at ease to make the most perfect photos. If you're in San Diego, you MUST work with Imani!"

Brittany&Fabiola

"My wife and I eloped in San Diego from Washington DC. Imani was our photographer. We chose her based on her amazing social media. I could feel the love of the couples she photographed, and it looked magical. We felt the same way! I am still in awe and obsessed with our pictures.

We would recommend her without ANY hesitation! She is the kindest, creative, and thoughtful person, and we will remember her for a lifetime."

lauren&aNDREW

"We had the best experience working with Imani for our first wedding anniversary shoot in San Diego. The photos are absolutely stunning & even more beautiful than we imagined! She has such a creative eye and knows how to use light in the most magical way.

Imani also made the whole shoot so easy and fun. Her creative vision and direction helped us feel relaxed and present, and it really shows in the final photos. We’ll truly cherish these photos forever!"

CYNTHIS&DANIEL

"Faith was an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning, she made my partner and me feel so comfortable and at ease, which truly shows in our photos. The images perfectly capture our friendship and the deep love we share, and they feel so authentic to who we are. I especially loved how Faith coached us throughout the session and knew exactly how to guide us so we looked and felt our best. I find myself coming back to our photos again and again because they are genuinely so beautiful. The experience itself was just as amazing as the final images, and I will treasure both forever."

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.
