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!

Bob & Erin – October 10, 2009

Bob & Erin had a chilly but beautiful October day for their wedding!




I love catching images of moms looking at their daughters.

The church was just a few minutes away from Erin’s parents’ house and the sky couldn’t have been more blue!






The Japanese Gardens at the Historical Society was a perfect backdrop for a quick round of formal photos! Bob gave Erin his jacket for a few minutes (it was definitely under 50 degrees with quite a chilly breeze) so I snapped a few pictures and they said they had one just like it from prom – 8 1/2 years ago!



Then we stopped at the Reserve Fire Station where Bob & his groomsmen are firefighters!


On to Lucarelli’s, we enjoyed a wonderful family-style dinner.


When two cousins catch the bouquet & garter, the DJ finds creative ways to make it less awkward. They were good sports.

I said goodnight after the oczepiny (is that the right word? I looked it up but didn’t find any reference to the tradition of doing the hat for the groom) – wish I’d had all the elements of Bob’s hat explained! I get the firefighter part of it, but the bananas, the grapes and the giant whistle are lost on me!

Best wishes to a wonderful pair of high school sweethearts. Enjoy newly married life!

October 19, 2009 - 8:53 pm Kristy Lynn - These are so fun Wendy. I love the dip in front of the church and that last one with the hat is hilarious!

October 21, 2009 - 12:23 pm Jill - I've been waiting to see these, since we were both there on the same day, at the same time! Love it! I'm not sure about the whistle but there is always fruit involved in Oczepiny hat.
