West Virginia Wedding

Hi, I'm Melissa, a photographer and brand content creator based in Wv. So glad you're here.

Oak Grove Farms is such a beautiful venue. It has beautiful fields of green, some woodland views, which are my favorite, just a touch of everything you could want in a wedding venue.

This wedding was my first visit to the venue. As we arrived we went straight to find the bridal party. They were tucked away in the bridal suite to the back. As I open the door, I was greeted with a smile from Alyssa.

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever heard of the phrase “Cool as a Cucumber” Well, she was cool as a cucumber? Some things had gone a little “wrong” that day but you could not see it on her face.

As ceremony time as upon us, Justin looked just a “tad” nervous, but he had a smile that was from ear to ear!

These types of wedding are my favorite; I go into the wedding not knowing either party. (Bride/Groom etc.) But I feel as though I leave as friends. I know their “love” story and get a good glimpse of who they are as individuals and as a couple.  One thing that I learned from these two, is without a doubt, God made them for one another! Alyssa may be as cool as a cumber but Justin is the pea to her pod 😉

I pray for many years of love and happiness for these too! <3

Behind the Camera

MELISSA
KINCAID

I've always been drawn to things that feel timeless — beautiful in a way that doesn't fade. That's how I approach weddings, too.
I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm paying attention to the moments as they're happening and capturing them in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you.
I've been doing this for over a decade, and what still drives me is the same thing that started it all — a genuine love for people and the stories they carry. My work has been featured in Magnolia Rouge, Cake & Lace, and other fine publications, but my favorite measure of success is still a bride who says she forgot I was even there.
Based in Charleston, West Virginia, I photograph weddings across WV, Virginia, and destinations worldwide — and I'd love to be part of yours.
