West Virginia Wedding

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

Kathleen and Matt’s wedding took place at Saint Francis De Sales Church, in Beckley WV. If you aren’t familiar with the church it is absolutely stunning! It is truly a beautiful piece of history. My favorite part of the wedding was when Kathleen’s dad and brother saw her for the first time; it was such a sweet moment. I saved those photos just for them though. They are so special I wanted them to see them first<3

I love wedding details, but what I love, even more, are creative wedding details. The Grooms ring was made by Rustic and Main in Charlotte NC. It is made from a WWII Springfield 1903 Rifle stock (wood) with Wool from an infantry field shirt. Now that is a story in itself! How awesome is that!? Then to make things more fun Bev (Oxley) has made every cake for Kathleen since her first birthday so it was only fitting that she make her wedding cake.

I hope you enjoy this beautiful 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.
