Bella – Senior 2020

West Virginia Wedding

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

This was one of the best senior sessions I have done to date. I light was perfect! We got the fall foliage and the glowy orange sunset that you only get it in fall….buuuut… we also got some snow too! It had snowed the day before and the morning of Bellas session it began to melt off. By the time of her session that evening, I assumed the snow had already melted off. To my surprise, it hadn’t! We had the best patch of snow untouched!
Bella is such a kind-hearted girl. It is nice to see such a respectful and good-hearted girl at that age. She is laid back and so fun to shoot!
Athena Farm in Beckley West Virginia is one of my ALL time FAVORITE Wedding Venues! {If you’re getting married go look them up!} It is nestled right outside of Beckley, so it is easily accessible. It has so many different options for photos. There have everything from swings, to benches, to a covered bridge. It is a photographers dream! You can get two to three different settings in one location!
I truly had the best evening with Bella and her mom. We took lots of beautiful photos and chit-chatted for the entire time! I can’t wait to see what Big things Bella is going to do in the future<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.
