About

I am Wendy Mitchell and I have been open as Wendy Mitchell Photography since January 2005. I am a wedding and engagement photographer in the Buffalo NY area. Each year I shoot weddings across WNY, Rochester, the Finger Lakes and the Southern Tier and occasionally travel to other areas of upstate NY (Syracuse, Alexandria Bay, Capital Region) as well as northwestern PA (Erie, Bradford).

I graduated from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) in 2004 with a B.F.A. in Professional Photographic Illustration but commercial advertising photography has never really interested me - I love the personal feeling of working with brides & grooms to photograph beautiful, meaningful weddings!

Photographing couples is what I love to do most - weddings, engagements, vow renewals... I take a mainly documentary style approach, staying out of the way and taking pictures of everything as it happens. I love getting a wonderful mix of details, candid moments, beautiful posed photos of you with your families and your wedding party. I love photographing the flowers, the programs, the food, and the decorations in addition to making sure I get lots of pictures of everyone smiling & having a great time (and sometimes crying during the vows or the parent dances!).

Having been in business for well over 10 years (and over 400 weddings!), I still understand the importance of treating every wedding as its own special day. While I do have the experience to be able to expect and prepare for normal wedding day situations, I make sure to approach every day as its own event without a formulaic or list-based agenda for what I'm going to photograph. Sure, I'll take pictures of you both with your parents & grandparents, the cake, the flowers, all of the details, but I don't work in a way that I'm just checking off a to-do list. Every wedding is as organic and free-flowing as possible!

Please contact me to set up a meeting, and of course view my work on my website - wendymitchellphotography.com!

Amazing Experience, Talented Photographer

These words may not be able to truly express the amazing experience we had working with Wendy as our wedding photographer. Wendy is talented, detailed, kind, and just a pleasure to have with you on your special day. We decided to contact Wendy because her work matched the photo style we love, and based on the recommendation of a friend. We felt her photos were relaxed, natural, and organic, and they seemed to capture true emotions. We chose Wendy because of this and how easy she was to talk to during our initial call. She captured every moment of our day, and you can feel the love and joy that was there when looking at her photos. Even though Wendy did not miss a single detail, she was never obtrusive. She somehow captured everything while quietly blending in the background. She also helped everyone to be more relaxed. Our photos are more beautiful than we ever imagined they could be. So vibrant and full of life. We just received our album and I am obsessed. Thank you again Wendy for helping us to hold on to so many special moments. I highly recommend Wendy Mitchell Photography, and Wendy will always be our photographer from this point forward.

Personal and Professional

Wendy Mitchell is an absolute joy. I met her through my best friends wedding and knew I had to have her as well. She can make any personal comfortable and her personality shows through her work. Her photos look not only incredibly natural, but real.

Amazing photographer

Wendy was absolutely wonderful. She was sweet, professional and genuine. Although Wendy is already booked for our wedding day, it was a pleasure to have her shoot our engagement photos. Wendy took away any nervousness that we had and captured our true selves. The photos were nothing short of perfect. I would definitely recommend her, and would love to work with her again!
