West Virginia Wedding

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

I could not get home soon enough to show off these gorgeous weddings photos. When I first met Sara and Travis at their engagement session, I was so thrilled they chose me to be a part of their wedding day. They are the kind of people you can just connect with. So down to earth and just fun. I assumed their wedding would be great as well but it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived everyone was welcoming and helpful. It was a photographers dream!

What was so unique about this wedding is Sara wore her mothers Wedding Dress for photos. It was handmade by Sherry’s mother over 30 years ago. How awesome is it that they were also the same size when they got married!? As you can see Sara looked stunning in both her mother’s wedding dress as well as her own.

I hope you enjoy this stunning couple<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.
