intimate wedding & elopement photographer

based in nebraska

 

you don’t just want the cookie cutter photos

(as important as they may be)

You’re drawn to the moments that feel lived-in — the emotion, the connection, the fleeting seconds you wish you could hold onto a little longer. The beautifully imperfect memories that become the ones you cherish most.

At Grit & Grace, I believe your life should be documented as intentionally as it’s experienced. With an artistic, story-driven approach, I capture the moments you feel — not just the ones you pose for — creating imagery that’s honest, intimate, and uniquely yours.

Let’s tell your story

It all started with creating magic from chaos.

I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in front of a camera — I’ve been there myself. That’s why I approach every session with intention, care, and a story-first mindset.

Grit & Grace is built on heart and perseverance, capturing love as it truly is — honest, emotional, and beautifully imperfect. My goal is simple: to create space for real moments and preserve them in a way that feels authentic to you.

She did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a fun winter shoot. My husband and I are self-admitted awkward people but Anna guides us so well and captured the most beautiful shots. Now the turn around time on getting the photos back. She got us sneak peeks within 24 hours each time we did a shoot, and got us our galleries so quickly. We will come back to Anna again and again for future photos!

“Anna is simply amazing at what she does.”

- Augusta + Skylar 

We just cried watching it! We love it so much. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that!!! We honestly don’t remember like anything from our vows so it was so special to be able to see and hear it all over again!

"it was so special to be able to see and hear it all over again!"

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and person to capture both our engagement and wedding  photos! Anna is so easy to work with and just a genuine person. We loved everything about her work and we will 
have memories for a lifetime
