Amanda Taft is a wedding and portrait photographer based in the quiet valley of West Arlington, Vermont. A farmer’s daughter turned storyteller, Amanda has a deep love for connection, nature, and the in-between moments that often say the most. Her photography is a reflection of her life—rooted in simplicity, emotion, and meaning.

When she’s not behind the camera, Amanda is usually trying to keep up with her three kids’ sports schedules, working on the family farm, or tending to her highland cows. These everyday joys shape the way she sees the world—and the way she captures it. For Amanda, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about preserving the feeling of a moment, the way someone smiles when they think no one’s watching, or the quiet calm between the big events.

Her approach is personal and relational. Amanda takes the time to get to know her clients, to understand what matters most to them, and to make them feel comfortable being fully themselves. Whether she’s photographing a wedding, an engagement, or a family session, her goal is always the same: to tell your story with honesty, care, and love.

Amanda works with people who value real over perfect—who aren’t afraid of a little wind in their hair or mud on their boots, and who know that the best memories are often the messy, beautiful, unexpected ones.
