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!

Jonathan & Amanda – October 3, 2009

This past Saturday I did my third Keuka Lake wedding of the year (actually, my third Keuka Lake wedding ever, but whatevs) and I got to meet Amanda & Jonathan (heretofore referred to as J.D.). They (and their families) were so awesome that although I have tried really hard to keep my sneak peeks to ~20, they are getting *BLAM* 33 images. Sorry to everyone else, but YAY for you guys, right?

I met up with them at Keuka College where they decided to have their ceremony although neither of them is from the area or attended the college! It’s a beautiful church though, and I can see why they chose it.





It was so sweet watching Amanda’s mom watch her put her lipstick on.


The ceremony was full of tears on both sides. It was very heartfelt. Then… THE KISS.


After the receiving line, they had CHEERIOS to toss! Loved it.


I just wanted to set this one off a little. I think it has a quiet beauty.

I know I misfocused a little on this one, but it’s TOO cute not to share – Amanda & her grandma.

Love these:


We went from the college down the west side of the lake to Heron Hill Winery, which was AWESOME. The tent was gorgeous, the view was wonderful, and the food was delicious. A+ from my viewpoint! Plus, who doesn’t like to shoot in a vineyard?

It was the night before the full moon, so a bunch of people got their pictures taken with the moon. Of course J.D. and Amanda’s was the cutiest.

The cake and the trifles were both very photogenic.


It was just a beautiful first dance. It was so hard to pick only two. If you guys don’t get a big print of the second one of these, I think you are nuts. Also, very sweet dances with Amanda’s dad & J.D.’s mom.



And now, the dancing. Man, there was a lot of it. Good thing it wasn’t a hot night!



One of the most competitive bouquet tosses I’ve ever seen. You go, girl.


And finally, who can’t love someone who’s willing to poke fun at “that time of the night”? Come on. Hilarious. Thank you Sue.

I had a blast you guys. Thank you. Best wishes to you and I hope you get to do some amazing traveling.
