THE BEST OF 2019

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

Have you ever doubted yourself, or wonder if you did a good enough job? I know I have; I think it is just the human in us. This was that season in life for me. I had fewer weddings this year than in previous years. So many Brides that waited until 2020 to get married.
My 2020 is almost fully booked and has been for some time. The human in me took the fact that 2019 was a slower year for me personally. This is silly because I booked these weddings, they just wouldn’t take place until this year. I think instead of looking at the big picture I allowed the devil to get into my ear.
Today I had an epiphany. Sitting here as I chose the BEST images of 2019 and had so many I couldn’t decide which to choose. I may have not had the busiest year as in the past, but I had an incredibly BLESSED year! I had so many amazing Brides that I connected with, to this day we are still FRIENDS!
I photographed weddings that some would dream of having. I had several Brides that used most their budget just so I could be a part of their wedding; that means something to me. I can’t fathom the fact they think that highly of me. These are the best images I believe I have taken. Silly me didn’t focus on the big picture but GOD still blessed me. He blessed my business, my Brides, and my future.
A wise man told me to pray for the Brides that are right for me and I will continue to do that until the day I retire. I cannot hold in the excitement that is to come in 2020. I am so excited for the new memories I am going to make, and to celebrate with some more amazing Brides.
I have 5 dates available for Brides. If you are ready for a Luxury Wedding Photography Experience, not just wedding photos, I am your girl<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.
