ABOUT
Hi, I’m Mitchell Buckelew, a professional rodeo photographer
from North Alabama.
In 2015, I began photographing portrait sessions and local events in Gulf Shores, AL. Living on the Gulf Coast gave me endless opportunities as an amateur photographer. I met some of the coolest people and made some unforgettable memories. From local cooking competitions to weddings on the beach, I was capturing it all.
In 2016, I started going to local barrel races with close friends. It did not take long for me to completely fall in love with the western lifestyle. That year, I attended almost every rodeo, team roping, and barrel race within an hour's drive of home. I always had a camera in my hand and a passion to document one of the best sports in the world.
After moving to North Alabama, I now travel all over the Southeast with my beautiful wife, Amanda, and our precious daughter, Jaycee, documenting rodeos, barrel races, and everything in between.
