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!

I love when people call me for stuff like this

Meet the Watkins family! I first met them back in October 2008 when Wendy had me come to their house for family photos with the fall foliage. I hadn’t heard from them again til just last week when I got the call that they wanted me to come out again. Wendy is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and wanted to make sure she got some photos done before her hair is gone. It was about the shortest notice I’ve ever had before a family shoot, but the timing worked out great! This time I met them at a barn in East Aurora where their daughter takes riding lessons – and I got to photograph not only their family, but the other girls who were riding there that evening as well!

Here’s a taste of the riding:








And here’s the Watkins family:
