My work is rooted in the beauty of human connection — the laughter spilling out like wine, the glow of candlelight softening faces, the joy of long tables heavy with food, and the quiet exchanges that matter most.
I believe your wedding is more than a timeline of events; it’s an immersion into life’s richest moments — dancing barefoot in the desert breeze, cheeks flushed with joy, secrets whispered under the stars, and the comfort of nature as your backdrop.
I photograph with an editorial eye and a tender heart, creating imagery that feels elevated yet intimate, cinematic yet alive. It’s about honoring the sensory, the celebratory, and the fleeting magic of being together.
For couples who resist the ordinary, who want their story told with warmth, artistry, and soul — this is for you.
"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!"
