Anna Claire Beasley is a WEST TEXAS film & digital photographer
Capturing cinematic, nostalgic, and artistry-driven imagery for couples, brands, and the people of West Texas + worldwide. Anna Claire offers wedding photography that fuses the professionalism and attention to detail of the luxury market with the grit and heart of her West Texas roots to create nuanced, cinematic, and distinctly personal experiences.
Her drive for adventure and romantic view of life’s every day moments allows her to capture connection, intimacy, and images that feel plucked from time with an unmistakable sense of place. Whether she’s photographing couples in love or brand campaigns, she brings her unique lived experience and a real sense of curiosity about her clients to every body of work resulting in something truly rooted and genuine.
Stylistically, she knows when to step in to direct and when to sit back and let moments unfold and balances all of it with care to ensure you have a day that looks and feels like you — and photos that take you back and make you feel it all, deeply.
HEARTFELT IMAGERY ⌒ GROUNDED IN CONNECTION
On your wedding day, I’m in your corner. Less like a vendor, and more like a friend. I’ll document the candid moments of connection, the golden light spilling onto the lawn, the tear in your sister’s eye as she toasts to your love and the sparkling laughter of friends sharing stories of your college days. The moments you’ll want to hang onto long after the last song is played.
Whether you are having an intimate West Texas wedding, or a 200-person venue wedding, the main character of the day is your love — I’ll photograph it all with intention and care.

ABOUT ANNA CLAIRE.
I love a good journal, especially when paired with a blustery fall morning and a hot cup of coffee. I’ve tried and failed to eat vegetarian like 10 times. I’ve spent many many nights sleeping under the stars with people I love, and I hold those memories close.
I get to do life with my best friend, Danny. We met in high school, and chose to co-human for the rest of our existence. My relationship with him is what informs so much of my work; it teaches me about the importance of quiet moments and pillow talk and hand-holds in a tent with morning rays beaming down. It’s taught me that every relationship has good and bad and hard and easy and this complexity and vulnerability is what makes us human. Seeing photos of us doing life together makes me feel all the things.
That’s what I want for you.

the ELOPe BIG BEND story
Want a deeper look into the heart, soul, and history behind Elope Big Bend? I had my friends over at Glass Lake Media create a short film that captures it all (and shows off the beauty of West Texas).
