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.
