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!

Ron & Jena – August 15, 2009

On Saturday, the younger sister of my good friend Amy got married, making it the second family wedding this year! Their brother David married Danielle back in April – link. A stark contrast from Dave’s low-40′s wedding, Saturday was in the mid-80′s and although I made the poor choice of wearing a black shirt to an outdoor ceremony (read: HOT) I was so happy to be a part of it.

Just before noon I arrived at Jena’s aunt’s salon, Jefferson Terrace Salon & Spa, which is just gorgeous inside. It was a pleasure to shoot there! A bunch of the pictures from there are actually funny/embarrassing and I’ll spare you (and them!).

From there we drove to The Rose Garden to finish prep for the ceremony.






The ceremony itself was short, which was great for Ron who was sweating bullets and waited til the absolute last minute to put on his jacket!




We sneaked in a few posed pictures before getting out of the sun and into the reception!!



Two words: Milk dispenser.

Three more words: Black Eyed Peas.

The cake cutting was good times to remember always. Ron said, “I wasn’t going to, but I saw her eyes get big!” After Jena got his face a second time, someone shouted, “Get her back Ron!” to which he replied, “I can’t see her!”

To end the post on a sweet note (sweeter than frosting?) – Jena’s parents, whom I’ve known for almost 15 years:

Congratulations, Masons – I hope you had fun on your minimoon and I’ll be in touch as soon as your pictures are ready!
