California & Destination wedding photographer
Documenting your love story and cherished moments
Asantae Photography is an inclusive photography experience created for all love stories — built on the belief that your story deserves to be told beautifully and authentically. Based in San Diego and traveling wherever your story unfolds, I photograph with digital and 35mm film to create timeless, emotive imagery inspired by coastal landscapes, city energy, and meaningful in-between moments.
Every session is thoughtfully designed to feel natural and uniquely yours. My goal is to create a space where you feel confident, seen, and fully yourself while preserving moments that feel genuine, connected, and beautifully lived in.

Asantae
I’m Asantae — photographer, storyteller, and the heart behind Asantae Photography. My work is shaped by a love for honest connection, artful imagery, and the moments that often go unnoticed until they become memories. I blend editorial direction with a documentary eye to create photographs that feel elevated, emotive, and true to your story. The result is imagery that feels both timeless and alive—preserving not only the way your moments looked, but the way they were lived.
Get to know me
“Her work speaks for itself. Stunning doesn’t even begin to cover it. What I love most is that she doesn’t just stick to one style. She seamlessly blends editorial, documentary, and film photography in a way that feels timeless and modern all at once. You get those artistic, magazine-worthy shots and the raw, candid moments that truly tell the story of the day. Every single photo she delivered made me feel like I was reliving our wedding all over again.”

“Asantae was absolutely incredible capturing my fiance and I’s photoshoot. She was so easy to work with and helped us with all of our movements and directed us exactly where we needed to be. Her work is so beautiful and I think she has a great eye for really capturing the essence of our relationship. She delivered all our pictures within a week (both digital and film) and they turned out amazing! I highly recommend.”

"We cannot say enough amazing things about Asantae. She was truly incredible to work with. From the second we met her, we felt completely comfortable and genuinely had the best time at both our engagement shoot and wedding. She has this amazing way of making everything feel natural and fun, and it comes through in every single photo. Our wedding day felt effortless with her behind the camera, and the photos are more beautiful than we ever imagined. We are SO grateful for her and would recommend her to absolutely anyone."

"Asantae did both my engagement and wedding photos and she did an outstanding job. First, her packages and options are very clear, reasonable and upfront. Second, she meets with you to make sure you’re comfortable and she knows the vision you have. If you don’t have one, she helps create it! Third, on the day of she is so kind and considerate and makes you feel at total ease. She has an upbeat energy that makes you feel she is excited and happy to capture these moments! She has great ideas and creates unique and iconic photos. Finally, she sends you sneak peaks and highlights SO FAST!!!
