Welcome to Anne Mienkta Photography! Firstly, let's say it together: my last name is pronounced “mee-ent-ka" (it's a doozy but I'm so proud of my roots!). I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based in Burlington, VT. My style is elegant and light, and my goal is always to create emotive, authentic images. My style invovles a mix of candid and posed photos that will showcase your unique relationship! Cookie-cutter just is not me.
I photograph over 30 families and 20 lovestories a year. I especially love photographing couples, and feel so honored to be there on momentous occasions to celebrate love!
I am a food photographer at King Arthur Flour in Norwich, VT (and yes, I get to eat the baked goods I photograph!). I also do local product photography. My work comprised the City of Burlington’s newest edition of “Doing Business in Burlington,” which was published in early 2018. My photographs have been in 5 local galleries, and I am pleased to have published on the Knot ("How They Asked") and to have won a Couples Choice Award.
I strive to capture the delicacy of fleeting moments by creating timeless, elegant photos for you to treasure.

Engagement Shoot
Anne was very professional, fun, outgoing, and easy to work with. The first time we met Anne was our engagement photo shoot and it was like we already met before. There were no awkward moment(s). She was able to pose us but never made it weird or stiff. She was open to ideas we had and made them happen beautifully! She was amazing and we had our pictures super quickly. We would highly recommend hiring Anne to take your professional pictures.

Aw Brittany, I'm so glad you had a good time during our session! I agree, it was like we had met before. You are simply gorgeous and I could have worked with you two all day. I'm so thankful I get to spend your wedding day with you.

Summer Engagement Photos
Anne did our engagement photos and they were gorgeous. I loved all the images and she did an amazing job capturing our love story in both candid seeming and more posed shots. Her turnaround time was very expedient and the delivery was very convenient. We covered so many locations in an hour and a half shoot, so I have a beautiful variety of images to cherish. I’m a little nervous behind a camera but Anne is super helpful with posing and guiding her clients to their very best angles and makes you feel at ease during the shoot. Her energy, kindness, and professionalism radiate the extent to which she’ll go to make her clients feel special and capture the perfect moment.

If you’re looking for a photographer—you’ve found her!!
When my fiancé and I got engaged this summer, we started looking for a photographer right after we booked our venue. One of my coworkers had hired Annie for newborn portraits and highly recommended working with her. She responded quickly to my inquiry and provided a clear map of the process for hiring a photographer. We made a plan to meet for coffee to ensure our vision matched Annie’s style of photography. Annie is so personable and professional, it was like meeting up with an old friend for coffee! I left the meeting feeling confident I wanted to invite Annie to our wedding. We had to reschedule our engagement session due to inclement weather and Annie was sure to offer plenty of dates and times to accommodate mine and my fiancé’s schedule. We met for our engagement session last week and I am so pleased that we did not feel awkward for one second! We weren’t sure how we would be able to pose and capture the intimacy of our relationship, but Annie helped to make it fun by prompting us with fun games to allow us to relax. She sent us a teaser from our shoot and I am so happy that the first couple of images align with how beautiful the experience was. Our wedding is next July and we cannot wait! Annie has provided her expertise in regard to the timeline for the day and recommendations for other providers like videographers—thank goodness because I’ve never planned a party this big before! I will be happy to continue to endorse Annie’s work after we receive the images from our wedding next year. I couldn’t wait to describe our positive experience with our engagement portraits!
