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!

Baby Samuel – 10 days old

Baby Sammy and I share a birthday! I did Justine & Chris’s wedding back in 2006 (when I was pregnant with my son!) and recently saw Chris in the Target parking lot, and we talked for a few minutes and he introduced me to their son and told me that Justine was expecting again. Justine emailed me to set up the session, and Baby Samuel was born right on his due date – April 8th! I was supposed to go do the session last week but had to postpone due to sickness, but thankfully today I was able to go and everything went smoothly (forget about the poop & pee… it happens all.the.time!!). Elijah was the best big brother and was so obedient and helpful… thanks little man!!

Here’s an abbreviated sneak peek so you don’t have to wait 2 days til I get back. Enjoy!

Justine – you’re beautiful!!

Congratulations on your two gorgeous little boys. So happy for you guys!

The Ennis Family

In 2007 I photographed Josh & Marisa’s wedding down in Ellicottville. I really didn’t hear from them again until, out of the blue, Marisa called me in November and asked if I had any availability for pictures of their son Jeffrey for his first birthday.

On December 30th, the day after he turned one, I met them at Marisa’s childhood home in Tonawanda. This little boy just turned one… can you believe his beautiful teeth?!

Back to the beginning.







Congratulations on your beautiful little boy, and I look forward to hearing news of another soon to follow! Haha. Good luck with everything!

Jackson & Emma

Has it been almost a year?! In January, I did Jackson’s newborn photos, and in February I did his cousin Emma’s newborn photos.

The day after Christmas I photographed them again. They’ve grown so much!






Bathtub pictures? Sure, while they’re too young to be embarrassed by it.


Thanks guys, for always having me photograph stuff for your family. I can’t wait to see your kids as they grow!
