Wendy Mitchell Photography | Buffalo Wedding Photography bio picture

Happy you're here!

This site is a collection all all the work (and some personal photography) I've done since January 2009.  Go back through the archives, sort by category, however you'd like to browse.  Stay a while!

A little about me: I grew up in "The Southern Tier" of Western NY, graduated from Falconer High School in 1999, Jamestown Community College (AA in Media Arts) in 2001, and Rochester Institute of Technology (BFA in Professional Photographic Illustration) in 2004.  I have been photographing weddings full-time in the Buffalo area as Wendy Mitchell Photography since January 2005, and it's my most favorite thing to do!  I live in Alden, NY (about 30 min. east of downtown Buffalo) with my husband and our 4-year-old son. 

I'm glad you found your way to my site.  Please enjoy looking through my photos, and if you'd like to talk to me about scheduling a wedding or other shoot, please contact me using the link above!

Thom & Melissa – Engaged!

I’ve known Thom for over 10 years now, and Mel since they started dating. When they “made it official” I was excited, and I was even more excited when they asked me to be their wedding photographer! I shot Thom’s sister Tina’s wedding last August, and I’m looking forward to another beautiful day – hope the weather is a little less sketchy for you, Thom & Mel!! Their wedding is in September of this year, and while we’re waiting for spring for a full engagement session, we met up this past weekend for just a quick shoot for some “save the date” photos. A crisp but sunny afternoon with a few snowflakes in the air was fine with me! What a photogenic couple. :)

Adam & Liz – Engaged! | Jamestown NY Engagement Photographer

Liz contacted me earlier this month for her wedding next July, and I was available! We quickly signed a contract and arranged for an engagement session to take place during the short time they would be visiting Jamestown for the holidays. The Thursday before Christmas, I drove to Jamestown in the rain to meet them, hoping all the while the sun might come out. It never did, but I think Liz’s smile brightened the day anyway! Thankfully we were able to use a few indoor locations (listed below) and both Adam & Liz were great sports about the weather.













Locations:
Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary
James Prendergast Library
First & Pine

John & Karan – Engaged! | Chautauqua Lake Engagement Photography

I have known Karan since high school. She was a fellow flautist in the band and is also the older sister of my good friend Laura. We had only seen each other once that I can remember in the years since she graduated, so it was very nice to catch up a little bit! We met at Long Point State Park so we could get some pictures of the two of them kayaking in addition to some more standard poses.







I am very much looking forward to their wedding at Beaver Hollow Conference Center next June!
